WIA FRONT PAGE NEWS

Several weeks have gone by since the Licence Conditions Changes
and still we see on social media and hear on the bands hams just
realising some of the changes.

In summary, fro the article dated September 29 on wia.org.au in summary

'The WIA is pleased to see the significant changes to the Foundation
Licence class to modernise its appeal and relevance today.

All in all, a great result for the entry-level licence.

Go get digital!

The relaxation of emission and bandwidth restrictions are also
welcomed for all licence classes.

These changes, albeit limited todate, are the culmination of
persistent work by the WIA with the regulator in various
consultations that started in 2014. We also acknowledge the many
submissions made by individual amateurs and also various amateur
radio clubs. During that time, the WIA has initiated multiple member
surveys, the last in 2018 and actively sought feedback from its
members.

The last WIA consultation submission to the ACMA was a joint
submission in conjunction with ALARA, ARNSW and ARVIC and had the
direct support of many of the WIA Affiliated clubs.

There is more work to do to maintain the current momentum,
especially with the 5 MHz band access and potentially a
high power endorsement approach for Advanced licences to overcome
potential EME and EMI concerns by the ACMA.

SO WHAT HAS CHANGED?

All restrictions on emission modes have been removed for all
licensees

Restrictions on permitted transmission bandwidths have been removed
for all licensees across all bands allowed for each licence class,
with the exception of the 2200 metre and 630 metre bands, which only
Advanced licensees can use;

Restrictions to the 3.X GHz band, which affect only Advanced
licencees.

ALL license classes now have the same spectral power density limits
of 1 watt per 100 KHz for wide bandwidth transmissions. The
definition of wide bandwidth is band specific. This covers,
for example, ATV / DTV and Spread Spectrum modes.

ROCKET MAN

To NASA personnel, he is VK5ZAI. To his neighbours at Pinks Beach,
a small coastal town in South Australia, he goes by Tony.

In his 30-year association with the US space agency, Tony Hutchison
has been called upon to help in times of crisis, moderate calls
between astronauts and their families, and run a worldwide schools
program.

He's shared a beer with first commanders, had barbecues with mission
specialists, and watched the space shuttle launch from the bleachers
at Kennedy Space Centre.

Looking back, it's a life he never expected.

On WIA front page news a link will take you to the ABC program on his
life which was telecast last weekend.

Telecast almost world-wide.

Last Saturday I was sitting in a sports bar in Hong Kong watching
the Rugby from Japan, at the conclusion what should pop up on the
big screen was Tony VK5ZAI and his amazing story.

As Disney once said.. "It's A Small World After All"

Being away for 3 weeks or so I must thank John VK4JJW who expertly
edited the bulletins and continued our almost 25 years of Non-Stop
WIA News... Thanks Johnno.

Hi, this is Peter VK8ZZ WIA Secretary.

It was just in the last few years that a rekindled interest saw me
become far more active on all HF bands.

I blamed the cycle of sunspots for the lack of activity on the
HF bands. I have been disappointed at lack of recent contacts.
I was active over the weekend of the RD Contest and the
International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend. I was surprised at
the activity on the HF bands. It made me realise that it is not the
sunspot minima that has caused the inactivity on the band, but the
lack of people making contacts.

Lack of activity is partly the reason why we now have more
incursions into our bands by illegal activity. I can regularly hear
Indonesian fishing boats chatting back to their home base but there
are no amateurs on the air. Indeed it is no wonder that there is
pressure on our bands.

Dianne VK4DI from ALARA hit the nail on the head when, a few years
ago, she said to me that "people are just listening and not
bothering to call CQ".

The results from the WIA surveys last year show that this habit is
not uncommon with approximately 50% of respondents saying that they
generally are listening or occasionally answer a CQ, but rarely put
out a call.

So, the message here is clear, hop on to your favourite band or even
a new band and put out a CQ to see who is listening. Maybe you will
find an old friend on air, or make a new one. As a great man reminds
us every week, AR is a contact sport.

In closing I would just like to thank all the new members who are
joining the WIA. A number of members are also re-joining the WIA.
The WIA is the only organisation that represents Amateurs both
domestically and Internationally and the WIA needs members in order
to remain strong. There is only strength in numbers.

This is Peter VK8ZZ. I thank you for listening.

COPYING THE CODE OF FRIENDSHIP

Would you follow your own radio signals across an ocean to meet up
with a ham friend you've known for 70 years?

Almost 3 generations ago - the retired TV engineer in the UK and the
American doctor from Kentucky met on air.

Now Ted Trowell G2HKU is 96 and living in a care home on the
Isle of Sheppey and physician Bill Maxson N4AR, who is 82,
decided it was time for another eyeball QSO.

It was to be their second in more than 70 years and their first in
nearly 30.

When Bill flew from the U.S. to see his friend in late September
he also had a mission to accomplish: To present Ted with a
certificate confirming his election as an Honoured Member of the
World-wide First Class CW Operators Club, an international
fraternity founded in the UK in 1938 to foster appreciation of the
mode.

The two also had a lot of catching up to do:

They had become friends over the air in the 1950s in conversations
shaped by keyers and spelled out in CW. Later they took their
rag chews to SSB, giving voice to their exchanges.

Ted has been in a care home for a few years, according to several
press accounts, but still keeps up with his hobby and his friend
Bill. His room doubles as his shack and the home's managers
permitted the installation of a wire antenna.

Let the logbook show that this special September QSO was a valid
contact, achieved via the band of brothers with both operators
using the greatest mode of all: person-to-person.

FCC takes decisive action against deliberate interference

The ARRL report a New York Radio Amateur, K6DPZ is facing a $17,000
fine imposed by the FCC after he was issued a Notice of Apparent
Liability for Forfeiture for causing intentional interference on a
local repeater and preventing other radio amateurs from using it.

"Given his history as a repeat offender, this violation warrants a
significant penalty," the FCC said.

The NAL recounted numerous complaints alleging that he was
deliberately interfering with a repeater in Glen Oaks, New York.
Way back in 2017, the FCC issued a Warning Letter, advising him of
the nature of the allegations against him and directing him to stop
using the repeater going forward.

Nonetheless, additional complaints were filed.

Now after the FCC received further complaints regarding continued
operation on the local repeater, an Enforcement Bureau agent again
investigated.

PERU

IARU to take action on radio spectrum pollution

The IARU Administrative Council meeting in Peru Sept 28-29 agrees
to steps up efforts to combat radio spectrum pollution

The Administrative Council (AC) of the International Amateur Radio
Union (IARU) held its annual in-person meeting on September 28-29,
in Lima, Peru, just before the triennial General Assembly of
IARU Region 2.

Regarding band planning, the recommendation that 21,125 to 21,450 kHz
in the 15-meter HF band be used for satellite communications on a
non-exclusive basis was accepted, which will be aligned with the
allocations in the other regions and will be used for uplinks.

The AC is responsible for the policy and management of the IARU
and consists of the three IARU international officers and two
representatives from each of the three IARU regional organizations.

The AC conducted its final review of IARU preparations for the
2019 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19) of the
International Telecommunication Union. WRC-19 will be held in
Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, for four weeks beginning on 28 October.

The conference has a lengthy agenda, with items of direct interest
to the amateur service including consideration of improvements to
the amateur allocation in Region 1 at 50 MHz, protection of existing
allocations to the amateur service, and development of the agenda
for the next WRC in 2023.

WORLD WIDE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP NEWS

FEMALES IN RADIO.

When she turned 80, Anna Brummer, N2FER, of New York, predicted she
would live to be 100.

On September 27, she topped her own forecast by 5 years, as she
celebrated her birthday at the Fort Hudson Nursing Centre,
surrounded by family and friends.

The only thing she wanted was a drink of Scotch whiskey, and the
nursing home obliged, along with a slice of cake.

Unit Manager Donna Hopkins told Post Star newspaper that she didn't
attempt to put 105 candles on Bummer's cake because it would have
been a fire hazard. Bummer's secret to longevity is being nice to
people.

"Keeps you young when everything's going smooth," she said.

Anna Brummer was a latecomer to Amateur Radio.

In 1984, her son Richard, K2JQ (ex-K2REB), got his mom and his dad,
Edwin, interested in Amateur Radio, and Anna obtained her Technician
license when she was 69 years old. Edwin Brummer, who died in 1996,
was N2FEQ, and held a Tech Plus ticket. They were married for
56 years.

IN PURSUIT OF A NEW GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITE

Satellite enthusiasts are being encouraged to share ideas for a
new geostationary earth orbit satellite for hams - and a forum has
begun just for them.

This new online discussion group has formed to explore progress
in getting a geostationary earth orbit amateur radio satellite
for the Americas. Participants track the progress of acquiring a
transponder that would serve IARU Region 2, which is North and South
America. This would give the region the kind of coverage that
Europe and Africa presently have with QO-100, the Qatari (KAT-TARRY)
satellite launched last November.

Bernard KC9SGV posted on the QRZ Forum that hams are encouraged to
share images and links about their satellite ground station hardware
as well as software and to share ideas about having a similar
satellite for Region 2 hams to access.

The discussion group is GEO@groups.io

From ARNewsLine a story of cooperation in the face of a yet another
hurricane.

While hams in the Azores activated their emergency network with the
approach of Hurricane Lorenzo in the final days of September, AMSAT
announced it was making amateur satellite AO-92 available as
requested by hams in the Azores.

The availability of the satellite helped bolster readiness, which
also got a boost from HF operations, local analogue repeaters and
DMR.

The AO-92 satellite was launched in January of 2018. In an unusual
occurrence, the hurricane crossed the Atlantic Ocean and was headed
toward Europe as an extratropical cyclone, weakening somewhat enroute.

REWIND

Commercial broadcasting_

There's a welcome spot on the amateur bands where hams gather to
share their stories about their lives as DJs in the 1960s.

Let's hear more from Mike Askins KE5CXP.

"If you're a former commercial radio rock music DJ from the 60s
who's rocking the airwaves now on the amateur frequencies instead,
here are two opportunities for you to "REWIND" that classic tape.

The 1960s Pop-Rock Music and TV Shows Net meets two nights a week
and after check-in, you get to share and hear some Tales from Top 40
and engage in some friendly trivia competition with kindred spirits.
The formally directed net meets Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time in the U.S. on the W7EI-L EchoLink Node and locally on the 147.220 repeater from Prescott, Arizona. It also meets on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time in the U.S. on the KA7LFX-R EchoLink Node and locally on the 224.060 repeater from Tucson, Arizona.

The net began 12 years ago as a celebration of 60s era radio rock
and pop as well as TV programming from that era. John N7LQR writes
in a QRZ.com forum that all hams are welcome but most especially
former commercial radio DJs.
