New National Standard Built Around Amateur Radio


The Commonwealth Department of Education Science and Technology has
endorsed
a new competency standard, called:-
"Operate and maintain an amateur radio communication station".


The standard approximates the syllabus for a Standard amateur
operators
certificate of proficiency.


This means the there is now a nationally recognised standard built
around
amateur radio. This is a link between amateur radio and education and
industry. Competency to this standard can be an element in an
electro-technology qualification.


It certainly should make amateur radio as an activity much more
attractive to
schools.


However, it is important to note that holding the competency will not
qualify
the holder for an amateur licence which still requires WIA
certification to
ACMA of competency in the theory, regulatory and practical elements of
the
syllabus.


WIA President Michael Owen VK3KI welcomed the Departments endorsement,
saying
that he hoped that schools would be encouraged to support amateur
radio
activities and also acknowledged the work of the WIA's Nominated RTO,
Fred Swainston VK3DAC in achieving this recognition of amateur radio.


Previous Editor of Westlakes Amateur Radio Magazine, Frank, VK2FJL in
his May
edition told how, on May 16 Barry VK2BZI was awakened by a telephone
call from
the Australian Search and Rescue in Canberra requesting he locate an
EPIRP that
the Westpac helicopter said was near the 16 ft. Sailing Club at
Belmont NSW.


With RDF receiver, a Potomac FIM 71 Field Strength meter, x Government
Auctions
he left home and as he neared Belmont Bay the familiar signal of an
EPIRB was
starting to be heard.


At Belmont 16 footer Sailing Club the signal was very strong, bearing
parallel
to the shore. The transmitter was either in the club or west of the
club and
west of the club is not easy access.


VK2BZI called in the water police to help check west of the club and
proceeded
to check out the club premises.


The club is built over water and it was necessary to send a volunteer
under the
club in case a floating device had washed underneath.


However with some sleuthing on Barry's part he found the EPIRP laying
behind
some flowers in the front garden of one of the houses west of the club
where
it had been left running, actually he located its position not by the
RDF but
by the switching noise it made whilst it transmitted.


His well used and slightly deaf human ear found the device.


Finally disabling he advised ASAR and thanked all who assisted and was
back hom
e
by morning cuppa time.


BPL INTERFERENCE - THE BATTLE CONTINUES


WIA Director Delivers BPL Presentation to 2007 IIR FleetMobile
Conference
in Sydney.


WIA Director Phil Wait (VK2DKN) delivered a presentation on BPL to the
IIR
2007 FleetMobile conference held at Star City in Sydney, over the
28-30th
of May.


The conference was attended by about 100 executives and business
managers
responsible for communications and IT in Government Radio Networks
including State, Federal and New Zealand Police, Fire Departments,
Defence,
Emergency Services, and representatives from ACMA and commercial
organizations such as Telstra, Motorola and Cisco.


The theme of the conference was the converged future of
communications-
realizing significant operational benefit by achieving intelligent
mobile
communications strategies.
Discussion cantered around new communications technologies which bring
together disparate communications systems and technologies into a
single
operational platform, and where ad-hoc communications links can be
easily
and quickly formed between different agencies or different parts of an
agency to suit the immediate communications needs.


Shortly all forms of information such as, voice, data, location and
mapping, video, SMS GPRS and GSM, Email and Internet, will be able to
be
shared seamlessly between different operators using quite different
communications systems. This is especially valuable in disaster
response
situations where emergency services have at times had difficulty
establishing robust communications links with each other.


In short, the traditional divide between voice and data transmission
is
no more.


This was a very valuable opportunity for the WIA to highlight its
concerns
about the potential for BPL interference to HF radio communications.
As Phil stated, "the unique thing about HF radio is that, unlike other
newer technologies, it does not require infrastructure which can
easily be
destroyed in times of disaster or conflict. There will always be a
place
for HF radio and its utility must be protected".


The WIA's presentation was extremely well received. A copy of the
PowerPoint presentation and the video can be downloaded from the WIA's
BPL
page. This is a large file and will require a broadband connection and
a
copy of Microsoft PowerPoint. Clubs and others are welcome to use this
presentation without modification.


WIA Awards Website
Our Awards website is very functional but does not display all our new
awards.


The WIA is currently designing and building a new National website
that
will include our new awards section.


Until this is completed you are invited to place all requests via
email
to the awards manager.

Sadly, Bill Rice VK3ABP an old stalwart of the Federal WIA, at age
80 years old a week ago, passed away quietly sitting in his favourite
chair at about 5.00 pm Tuesday.


Bill will be remembered by many as the longest ever serving editor of
Amateur Radio magazine. Bill joined the AR Publications Committee in
1972,
became editor in July 1984 and continued in the position until
December
1999.


Older amateurs will remember Bill as a keen 2 m operator and
constructor.
The VK3ABP 2 m valve converter, described in Amateur Radio around
1970,
is arguably the most replicated radio equipment ever described in the
magazine.


Next week we will bring you a special tribute to this new
octogenarian,
now sadly silent key. VK3ABP

School radio club calling CQ IRLP


The Bishop Druit College Radio Club at Coffs Harbour on the mid-north
coast of New South Wales is looking VK, ZL or Asia-Pacific contacts on
IRLP.


The students who have been experimenting with building simple FM radio
receivers are also keen to have some on air operating experiences.


IRLP contacts with interested parties or similar school
electronic/radio
groups would be great - but the club only has limited time during the
local lunchtime period.


The station equipment has been provided by Peter McAdam VK2EVB - and
the
club is QRV Fridays 0315 - 0345 UTC, on the IRLP node 6625 which is
via
its local repeater VK2RDO.

The Hunter Radio Group Contesters will be operating in the Trans
Tasman
160 meter phone event on July 7th this year at Luskintyre Tiger Moth
Airport.


There will be some fun type foxhunt also held round the airport.
The group extends a cordial welcome to all operators.
This will be an ideal training event for the up coming RD contest at
the
same location.


Food, drinks and accommodation will be available.
Accommodation will be on a first to book basis
As in all Hunter Radio Group functions, having fun will be the main
objective For further information, or to confirm your attendance

Good morning listeners
This is John VK5DJ for the South East Radio Group.


The Australian Fox Hunting Championship is coming up very soon on the
Queen's Birthday long weekend in Mount Gambier. Action starts on
Saturday
9th June starting from the Scout Hall in Margaret Street, Mount
Gambier.


Events begin at midday on the Saturday with the 2 metre sniffer hunt
and
finish on Sunday with event 10 the 1.2GHz foxhunt at 4.00pm.


Catering will be by Phil VK5HAM and his team.


Once again there will be a home brewer's competition and as always
there
are really good prizes to be won. Amateurs are encouraged to bring
their
latest projects for display.
They need not be fancy or complicated. We look for a range of
construction
projects from the simplest antenna, antenna coupler or crystal set to
the
most complex of equipment.
Ham radio has an interest for all but at the heart of our hobby is the
home brewer. Support out home brew competition. Entries are judged on
creativity, interest to others, workmanship and documentation. But
even if
your project doesn't fit these criteria it could well win a prize
because
the judges just thought it was a great little project.


Sunday afternoon we have arranged for a cruise up the Glenelg River
for
the partners.
The cost at $25 is very reasonable and the voyage aboard the Nelson
Endeavour is really worth every cent.


So put it in your diary now - the South East Radio Group Convention
and
Australian Fox hunting competition on the Queen's Birthday long
weekend in
June. It's worth coming just to see some of the technology some of the
fox
hunters have in their cars and atop them.
On our part we enjoy making it hard to find the foxes in the forests
and
beautiful country side of Mt Gambier.


Check the SERG website for details.
See you there, June 9 and 10.
John VK5DJ

DISCUSSION POINT


This in from the NZART InfoLine


Plasma TVs


"I wonder what we can do about the proliferation of Plasma TVs? They
seem
to be producing horrendous interference on HF - up to half a kilometre
or
more radius.


I'm certainly affected, since about five weeks ago, by, I believe, one
of
these 'unintentional radiators'.


160, 80, 40 and 20m unworkable due to S9+ noise.


Plasma TVs *generally* *FAIL* US FCC Class A (commercial)
requirements,
which are looser than FCC Class B (residential) requirements. Yet
these
appliances are introduced into the residential environment without
concern
to the requirements of non-interference to other services.


What can be done to manage the interference caused to the amateur
service
by these devices?


De Glenn, ZL2TLD


INTERNATIONAL NEWS READ BY Rob VK5MM


"Sometimes we could hear them, but they couldn't hear us. But we knew
they
were out there."


They were the words of John Hackney of Orono, who joined the crew of a
Trans-Atlantic sailing expedition in the British Virgin Islands.


A father and son crew from Bangor, along with an assortment of
additional
mates, completed the last leg of a journey that took them from Bangor
to
ports throughout Europe and back again over the course of two seasons
of
sailing.


Dan Cassidy, 58, and his son David, 23, left Bangor in May 2006 to
start
the voyage that would cover nearly 18,000 miles and take them to 10
different countries.


And Amateur Radio went along for the ride.


In a smaller boat, rotating watches have to keep an eye out for other,
larger vessels and an ear out for the weather forecasts.


For those communications, they relied on a Ham radio contact with an
inland operator who monitors weather conditions for mariners.


The Ham radio also allowed Fleana's crew to send e-mails, which
sometimes
were more reliable than voice communications. Those e-mails were a
godsend
for family members.


"We were getting some information," said Deena Cassidy, Dan's wife.
"We knew things were going well, so I didn't really worry."


Thanks to Amateur Radio.


Special Authorizations for Canadian Amateur Radio Experiments at 135
kHz
and 5 MHz to Cease 30 June 2007.


Since 2001, at the request of RAC, Industry Canada has granted a
number
of special authorizations to some Canadian radio amateurs to conduct
experiments in the band 135.7 - 137.8 kHz and at 5 MHz.


These experiments have had, as one objective, the provision of data
that
would support the objectives of RAC and the IARU for possible new
allocations to the Amateur Service at these frequencies.


In accordance with the agreement between RAC and Industry Canada, all
the
special authorizations to Canadian radio amateurs will be terminated
and
transmissions must cease as of 30 June, 2007.


Further special authorizations will depend on the outcomes of
WRC-2007,
scheduled for October - November, at which, on the initiative of
Canada,
a new, worldwide, secondary allocation to the Amateur Service at
135.7 - 137.8 kHz is on the agenda.


A secondary allocation near 5 MHz may also arise at WRC-2007 as a
consideration in the review of radio services in the band 4 - 10 MHz.


Per the agreement for special authorizations, each experimenter is
required to prepare a summary report of his experiments, which may be
in
the form of an article for TCA.

NEWS FROM ARNEWSLINE


DAYTON HAMVENTION: NEW PRODUCTS


What about this years hot new products. Over the next several weeks
Newsline's Fred Vobbe, W8HDU, will be highlighting a number of them.
One of the first to catch his eye was at the Vertex Standard booth.
The folks who make Yaesu brand products:


Fred Vobbe, W8HDU: Were here at the Yaesu booth with Dennis. Tell
us, what is the new hot product that Yaesu has come out with this
year?,


Dennis Motschenbacher, K7BV: "We have two very interesting products
and both are very unique. Its been quite a while since we had a good
HF radio for entry level and we have developed our FT-450 which a
radio with a goal being to be in (priced) at under $1000, weigh under
10 pounds with 100 watts. It came out to be a really good radio
because we had the learning curve from the FT-2000 and we were able to
drop that IF DSP into that radio. O, in a very small package that
only weighs 8 pounds, it's a heck of a (good) receiver and its going
to be a good radio for the desktop as well as being able to go
mobile."


CQ ANNOUNCES HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES


CQ Amateur Radio magazine has announced this year's inductees into its
CQ Amateur Radio, CQ Contest and CQ DX Halls of Fame.

He has also written two books, on DXpeditioning and Contesting.


Finningley Amateur Radio Society is delighted to announce the success
of a
very exceptional lady. Vera Tomlinson, an octogenarian, passed her M3
Foundation examination at the second attempt.


What makes this an outstanding achievement is that Vera is registered
blind.


Vera was subjected to the same stringent rules as any other candidate
with
the exception that Club President, John Swift M0UTX, was allowed to
act as
a reader for her.


Lead instructor, Peter Myers G3UWT, was full of praise for Vera and
stated
she was a delight to teach and is now looking forward to a QSO on air.

Prefixes for Montenegro and Serbia


When Montenegro first became an independent country, the prefix YU6
was
tentatively allocated to it. However, it now has a call sign block of
its
own. The ITU now lists 4O (that's "four Oscar") as Montenegro's
prefix.


This means Montenegro stations may use 4O0 through 4O9, while Serbian
stations will continue to use YT and YU prefixes for all call
districts,
0 through 9.
The ITU reportedly wants the two nations to complete the transition to
new call sign blocks as soon as possible.


The ITU has taken back the former 4N and YZ prefixes for future
reassignment.


Members that use computer logging software should update their
software
to reflect these new prefix allocations

WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- ATV (Every pixel tells a story)


QRP ATV


Past Editor of Westlakes News Bulletin Frank VK2FJL in his May edition
tells of yet another ATV record attempt.


Ho Hum, how boring, Do you say?


But wait a minute, what about an Australian ATV record using stock
standard
A/V sender/ receivers sold by Jaycar, utilizing 15mW over 175km?
Remember,
these units are designed to show Video from Foxtel set-top boxes from
room
to room, say up to 100m.


This is really a story about how you, the amateur can get on 5.7Ghz
ATV
with minimal equipment.


The authors' 5.7G units, are in our Amateur 6cm band.


In the last John Moyle field day contest Dan VK2GG and Graham VK2DWL
found
a spot whilst Jack VK2TRF travelled some 175km away.


Jack ended up at Mt Gibraltar, a very busy site, having all kinds of
nasty
RF installation which could hamper any record attempt, or swamp the
puny
15mW from the transmitter.


On the other hand, the other pair were on Mt Warrawalong, a Forestry
Fire
tower site, with mainly forestry UHF yagi's on it.


It turns out 5.7Ghz is a remarkable band. For this attempt, Dan made a
"tuppeny" feed out of WR137 waveguide, which he attached to his 1.2m
dish.
Jack used a "Golden Dish" for improved gain.


P5 pictures were received at each end of the link.


How's that for minimizing spurious RF emissions, using QRP for a
record
attempt?


Further successful ATV transmissions on 10Ghz and 2.4Ghz were made
along
the link for the purpose of the John Moyle event.
