NATIONAL NEWS FOR WEEK COMMENCING FEBRUARY 13 2022
IN OUR 27th YEAR OF NON STOP NEWS
Bob Bruninga WB4APR /SK:- Inventor of APRS Has Died
In 1982, Bob Bruninga, a senior research engineer at the US Naval Academy, developed the first version of APRS using an Apple II computer. This version was used to map high-frequency Navy position reports in the early stages. Bruninga created a more advanced version of APRS on a Commodore VIC-20 in 1984.
RIP Bob Bruninga WB4APR/SK
Ross Hull Contest Logs are due tomorrow, Monday the 14th of February

DISCUSSION POINT
From QNEWS and an item which has been picked up already by hams in both IARU region 1 and 2 and also passed to Oscar Reyes VK's IARU 3 representative came from Geoff VK4ZPP
Its to do with listening, responding to emergency traffic..
"Now the regional list of emergency traffic frequencies is regularly published but we dont appear to have any pattern or system for monitoring them.
Certainly the authorities can say we have international response networks and the amateur radio service isnt necessary. However, there are many people in various places on the globe that do have amateur radio and HF CB as local communications or for recreational use. Many people have complained of the tedium of having to isolate during the pandemic and I have seen that several skeds have appeared on an ad hoc
basis just to allow people to call in and interact with others.
The international net for sailors goes on, particularly on 20 metres, and on the land mobile services in this country, listening watches are maintained. With time on our hands and equipment on the bench, just what would it take to tune into one of these emergency frequencies and spend some time just monitoring whilst going on with the days routine? What would it take to have clubs organise a roster of willing
members to fill the spots on a roster and how much more would it take to have a national contact point to action matters such as reports?
To me this doesnt seem like a radical proposal or an onerous task for any one person. Even operators by themselves could do this. We think of ourselves as person to person communicators and the bulk of the time there will just be the usual noise we expect with no signals to monitor. I know there are people who spent many hours monitoring on the CB band emergency channels and there are still CB operators doing this.
With the band conditions providing interesting DX we can no longer say that listening out on emergency frequencies will simply be local. Region 3 is a very much populated and at the same time a very remote cluster of radio operators in our part of the world. I believe we have an opportunity to make a small but perhaps profoundly important contribution in times of need.
Im Geoff Emery VK4ZPP and thats what I think how about you?"

UNESCO has suggested several themes that can be celebrated on World Radio Day, today, February 13 including trust in radio journalism, the accessibility of radio and the viability of radio stations.
Radio has a key role to play in several areas, UNESCO said, beginning with producing independent and high-quality content, providing information to a diverse group of individuals and working to transform loyal audience engagement into financial stability, especially for small, medium or non-profit stations.
World Radio Day got its start in 2011 when member states of UNESCO adopted Feb. 13 the anniversary of the 1946 founding of United Nations Radio as World Radio Day in an effort to raise greater awareness of the importance of radio, to encourage decision makers to provide access to information via radio and to enhance networking and international cooperation among broadcasters.

Finland's national amateur radio society SRAL has made the latest issue of their magazine Radio Amateur available free for everyone to read as a convenient PDF
The editorial on page 1 looks at the move in Norway to introduce an Entry-Level amateur radio qualification based on CEPT ECC Report 89. At the present time Finland doesn't have an Entry-Level license, their lowest class is CEPT Novice, equivalent to UK Intermediate / USA General.
Norway is aiming for an Entry-Level qualification that permits 10 watts output on all bands and allows home construction of transmitting equipment.
The national amateur radio society in Italy, ARI, reports they only lost 13 members in 2021 but the membership is aging
The Secretary General of ARI, Mauro Pregliasco I1JQJ, writes:
The aging process is a phenomenon that affects the life of our sections.
This essentially depends on two factors:
First is of a structural nature, and is directly connected to the demographic decline in our country.
The second is a direct consequence of technological progress, which makes radio less and less interesting for young people.
In ari's statistics, the mode of a set of numbers is the value that appears most frequently; in our case it is made up of 59-year-old members. The range that includes the greatest number of Members is from 55 to 64 years.

Free virtual event
This marks 80 years since the opening of Bletchley Parks Bombe Hut, 11A, in March 1942. Bletchley Parks Research Historian, Dr David Kenyon will explore the impact the Bombe machine had and how it was used to combat the Enigma cipher system.
Wednesday 23 March 2022, 13.00
80 years ago in March 1942, Hut 11A opened as the new home of Bletchley Parks top-secret Bombe machines. Designed by Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman, inspired by pre-war work by Polish cryptanalysts, the Bombes played a vital role in helping the Codebreakers break the infamous Enigma cipher.

REGION TWO
Microphone manufacturer Heil Sound has new top leadership for the first time in its 56-year history.
The Illinois-based company said Bob and Sarah Heil have transferred ownership to current President/CEO Ash Levitt and Director of Operations Steve Warford.
Sarah Heil has retired, but Bob will continue to do outreach work and product design within the amateur radio space under the title Founder and CEO Emeritus, it stated.
The company said Levitt and Warford each began working with Heil Sound as teenagers, building and packaging products. Levitt took a different career path in academia for a number of years, but continued to regularly consult with Heil Sound during that time. He returned to the company full-time in 2017 and assumed the role of president in 2020. Warford worked his way up in the company during his tenure and has been responsible for daily operations for the past several years.
The Dayton Hamvention is still on as of now, but General Chairman Rick Allnutt, WS8G, said in a statement that the Hamvention would follow state guidance, which he expects to include recommendations (but not requirements) for masking and social distancing at large events.
"It has become obvious," he said, "that the State of Ohio is very unlikely to call a halt to large gatherings anytime soon." As of now, Allnutt added, there are no plans to offer onsite Covid testing during the Hamvention and he does not anticipate checking vaccination status at the show.
He says updates will be posted online at hamvention.org
REGION THREE
Indonesia's ORARI reports the communications regulator has asked amateurs to improve the quality of radio amateurs through local meetings
A translation of the post by the national amateur radio organisation ORARI reads:
Directorate General of Postal Resources and Devices and Informatics of the Ministry of Communication and Informatics encourages the improvement of amateur radio quality through local meetings.
The head of ORARI Centre stated that the Improve Quality Member Program would provide technical and organizational knowledge and skills. ORARI Centre will launch the ORARI Digital application, one of its functions is to provide E-KTA services.
"Callsigns that can be downloaded, delivery of letters or documents through the Application and others. So that the service can be faster and more accessible to members, "he explained.

RECORDS
Some new long-distance records are being claimed for contacts using amateur radio satellites.
Congratulations to Juan Felipe A 65 GC and Jerome F 4 DXV for their QSO on HO-113 made the United Arab Emirates and France. Their contact reportedly spanned a distance of 5,298 kms.
Jerome F4DXV also reported a contact with Sergei ES 4 RM which
would be a new record for AO-109. That contact between Estonia and
France covered 2,445 km, setting a new record for that satellite.

THE QNEWS WORK BENCH - the nuts and volts report
Measure Twice cut Once.
We all know that you can convert heat into electricity. Usually, you do that with some form of steam, but there are other methods, too, including thermocouples.
If youve ever seen something producing waste heat, youll appreciate Penn States work to harvest power from hot pipes. The idea is simple in theory: create a flexible thermoelectric generator that can wrap around hot pipes or other surfaces to gather otherwise lost heat.
The devices can produce up to 150% more power per unit area compared to other thermoelectric generators. A three-square-inch test device produced over 50 watts. Scale that up to an industrial pipe hundreds of feet long, and you could create some serious power. To accomplish this, the scientists used strips of six thermocouples and connected them for a total of 72 thermocouples. Liquid metal between layers improved the devices performance.
This isnt a totally new idea.
Russia was famous for making radios in the 1950s that operated using a generator that went around the flue of a kerosene lamp. Since the Russians were pulling this off in the 1950s, converting heat into electricity is obviously nothing new. Of course, your body creates heat, too, so why not use that?

Germany's DARC reports on a pirate station that was broadcasting in the 3.5 and 7 MHz amateur radio bands
In December 2021 and January 2022, an underground political station appeared on 3500 and 7000 kHz. The transmissions took place unusually in USB and could be heard throughout Europe. The radio program in Italian and English was directed against government corona measures. The direction finding service of the Intruder Monitoring department was able to determine the approximate location, whereupon we cooperated with the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) to have these transmissions ended.
The BNetzA was then able to take measures with the Italian colleagues that ultimately led to the broadcasts being discontinued.

Pirates Spam an Infamous Soviet Short-wave Radio Station with Memes
The UVB-76 numbers station, which dates from the Soviet era but is still online today, and used it to broadcast everything from Gangnam Style to audio that draws memes when inspected under a spectrum analyser.
For decades the numbers station known as UVB-76 has emitted an enigmatic series of beeps and a voice reading numbers and names, in what people suspect is a long running communications method for Russian intelligence. Since the broadcast is public, pirates are able to use their software-defined radio (SDR) transmitters to effectively flood the frequencies with noise and memes.
While many number stations have become obsolete or redundant, several broadcasts remain on the airmuch to the fascination of amateur radio hobbyists.

The University of Cambridge has announced the creation of the Raspberry Pi Computing Education Research Centre. With computers and digital technologies increasingly shaping all of our lives, its more important than ever that every young person, whatever their background or circumstances, has meaningful opportunities to learn about how computers work and how to create with them.
The Raspberry Pi Computing Education Research Centre wants to increase understanding of what works in teaching and learning computing, with a particular focus on young people who come from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in the field of computing or who experience educational disadvantage.

Overseen by physician Dr. Heinz Hofstetter, HB9HVS, help and advice
is available to members of all ages, accessible via the
'health-adviser' ham group on the USKA web portal.
WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP --- MILITARY
In addition to fulfilling The American Legion's mission of continuing to serve community, state and nation, post programs and activities offer avenues to attract new members who find those avenues meaningful to them. More members means more opportunities to fulfil the Legion's mission
The legion is much like VK's RSL.
One such avenue is a post ham radio club.
The national American Legion Amateur Radio Club (TALARC) estimates there are more than 50 post clubs -- and more than 4,500 TALARC Legionnaires -- across the country.
Among these are clubs in Florida and Colorado that have established themselves as active participants in Legion life.

The International WSPR Beacon Group plan to provision a WSPR Tx in ZL.
WSPR (pronounced whisper) stands for Weak Signal Propagation Reporter.
The WSPR Tx is custom made by ZachTek based in Sweden was supplied to Branch 20 of NZART by the International WSPR Beacon Group at no cost.
Its a 200mW RF output 5 band 80. 40, 20, 15 and 10meters.
The transmitter is controlled by Arduino Firmware which along with a built-in GPS takes care of all timing including the 5 band coordinated WSPR Band hopping transmit schedule following the WSJT-X implementation protocol.
Currently, globally there are 40 WSPR 200mW Beacons operational on a
24/7 bases, all are coordinated to transmit on the same band at the same time.
The ZL2KO 200mW WSPR signal, to name just a few, has been heard in Germany, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg,
East coast USA and Finland both on short and long path thats approx. 18,000kms on 200mW!!! Also, North & South America and Antarctica

Amateur Radio and After-School Program
The Fauquier 4-H Ham Radio Club provides local youth with opportunities to explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math through amateur radio communications and electronics projects
Fauquier Now reports:
The after-school program will make 4-H activities accessible to more children. The program will engage them in hands-on STEM projects while helping them develop life skills.
Programs offered throughout the year will target different grade levels and student interests. A pilot program at Grace Miller Elementary School in the fall focused on robotics for kindergarteners and first-graders. students tackled challenges such as designing a battle bot that they controlled with light sabres and coding a robot to navigate through a maze. Other potential offerings include space exploration, veterinary science and coding.
There also will be opportunities to partner with 4-H Clubs. For example, the Fauquier County 4-H Ham Radio Club recently received a grant from Amateur Radio Digital Communications to build a ham radio trailer that can be hauled to different schools to give participants a hands-on experience.
