RESCUE RADIO: INDIA HAMS CALLED OUT AS FIRST RESPONDERS AS CYCLONE HITS BAY
OF BENGAL SHORELINE
When Cyclone Hudhud swept into the Bay of Bengal coastal areas of India on
Sunday, October 12th, disaster authorities had already called on radio
amateurs to provide communications where they knew that other types would
likely be lost. And the ham radio community was ready as we hear from
Amateur Radio Newsline's Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF:
--
Before cyclone HudHud made landfall, authorities in India realized that
communications could be lost in coastal areas that the storm might hit. In
such a scenario, amateur radio will become the only medium for the government
to coordinate relief operations and exchange critical messages between
government bodies, the two states and also with New Delhi. So a few days in
advance it put out a call via the Nations Institute of Amateur Radio for
radio amateurs trained in rescue radio efforts to be ready if needed. As it
turned out they were.
Cyclone Hudhud made landfall with winds up to 125 miles per hour damaging
buildings, power systems and causing a total of communication in many areas.
Cellphone systems were overloaded quickly and soon failed. Media reports
blame the storm for at least 20 deaths but that figure could rise. That's
where ham radio stepped in.
Jayu Bhide, VU2JAU, is India's National Coordinator for Disaster
Communication. According to Bhide, at airtime there are currently six hams
in the Odissa region working to maintain the communication covering the
entire state.
VU2JAU said that VU3UFX, VU3PLP and VU2AOR are active from the Bhuvaneshwar
area. In the Sambalpur region VU2DPI is control of a network with VU2SIC and
VU2PGU. These stations and others have been on air using 7 dot 140 MHz and
have kept their stations open 24 hours a day.
In the Andhra coastal area all communication is handled by the National
Institute of Amateur Radio under control of VU2JAU from the Amateur Radio
Society of India. He is reported to be monitoring emergency traffic from his
home station in Gwalior. A complete damage assessment, clean-up from the
storm and the return of normal lines of communications is likely to take
several more days.

Nelson, New Zealand.

Another one of those times when ham radio truly was a life-saving first
responder before, during and after a severe weather event. (VK3PC, Times of

INTRUDER WATCH: RUSSIAN RADAR AND VOICE OF IRAN ON 21 MHZ
The IARU Region 1 Monitoring System newsletter reports a Russian high power
Over the Horizon radar system centered around 21 MHz recently affected the
entire 15 meter band. Added to this a Russian voice scrambler nicknamed
Yakhta has been transmitting daily on 21 dot zero MHz on USB voice encryption
that also contains a Frequency Shift Keyed synchro signal with a 100 baud
rate and 150 Hz shift. That transmitters location is believed to be at
Nizhny Tagil. Meantime, a spurious emission from Voice of Iran is also
causing interference on 21.249 MHz. An in depth report including charts
compiled by DK2OM can be found at tinyurl.com/k3nskk8 (IARU-R1)

RESTRUCTURING: UK FULL CLASS HAMS TO GET TEMPORARY ACCESS TO 1
Some hams in the United Kingdom will get temporary access to an extra
portion of the two meter band. This as a part of a planned long term overall
restructuring of the VHF spectrum from 143 to 169 MHz. Jeremy Boot, G4NJH,
has the details:
--
Ofcom has published a Statement that included an intention to release 1MHz
of additional spectrum to radio amateurs on the 2m band on a temporary basis.
The frequencies, from 146 to 147MHz, will be available via a Notice of
Variation to Full license holders only. Applications for Notices of
Variations can be made via the RSGB website from the end of October.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jeremy Boot. G4NJH, in Nottingham in the
UK.
--
This temporary use decision came as a part of an Ofcom published a statement
setting out plans for the release and re-allocation of spectrum returned to
civil use by Emergency Services. Ofcom believes this band space will be of
most interest to business radio users such as utility and construction
companies. As such it will be made available on a first-come-first-served
basis through a managed and gradual approach. This, in order to maintain
maximum flexibility in the future should new demands emerge. (GB2RS)

RESTRUCTURING: SARL DEFENDS AMATEUR UHF FREQUENCIES AT REGULATORY HEARING
The South African Radio League has submitted its response to the draft plan
concerning the restructuring of the 450 to 470 MHz band and other U-H-F
spectrum parcels.
In its reply to the national telecommunications regulatory agency, the SARL
said that although the amateur service is not in this band, the problem for
ham radio would arise if the intended migration of some existing users in the
450 to 470 MHz were to temporarily move into the amateur band prior to them
shifting to a new frequency band once they obtain suitable equipment.
The South African Radio League also pointed out that the statement that
amateurs only use 1 MHz of the 430 to 440 MHz is incorrect. Rather the
entire frequency block is used extensively for terrestrial and space
communications.
The South African Radio League also filed comments on proposed changes at
2.3 gigahertz and requested a new ham radio allocation from 3.4 to 3.410
Gigahertz. In both ITU Region 2 and Region 3, this spectrum parcel is
allocated to the amateur and amateur satellite services. (SARL)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: 4M LXS MOON ORBITER TO LAUNCH OCTOBER 23
The 4M LXS ham radio moon mission now has a definite launch date as we hear
from Amateur Radio Newsline's Heather Embee, KB3TZD:
--
The launch of China's Chang'e 4 mission carrying the 4M LXS moon orbiting
ham radio payload is expected to take place on Wednesday, October 23rd from
the Xichang Satellite Launch Center.
According to China's State Administration of Science, Technology and
Industry for National Defense, the soon-to-fly craft is a backup probe of
Chang'e 3. This was that nation's first moon lander and rover, which
successfully touched down on Earth's nearest neighbor in December 2013.
But Chang'e 4's job is not to land but to circle the moon. More important
its hoped that the capsule will return its payload safely to Earth without
burning up in the atmosphere during descent to our home planet.
As previously reported, the on-board amateur radio payload will transmit a
JT65B signal on 145.990 MHz which can be decoded by radio amateurs here on
Earth using the free WSJT software. Its builder, LuxSpace is encouraging
radio amateurs around the world to receive the transmissions and send in data
to it.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, Im Heater Embee, KB3TZD, in Berwick,
Pennsylvania.

WORLDBEAT: DOMINICA ALLOWS 60 METER OPERATION
The Dominica National Telecommunications Regulator N-T-R-C has granted hams
on the island nation the ability to operate on five 3 kHz-wide channels on
the 5 MHz or 60 meter band. These are 5330.5, 5346.5, 5355.5, 5371.5 and
5403.5 kilohertz at 50 Watts Peak Envelope Power using only SSB. This
allocation is applicable to Dominica General and Advanced licensees only.
The Commonwealth of Dominica is an island nation in the Lesser Antilles
region of the Caribbean Sea. It is located south-southeast of Guadeloupe and
northwest of Martinique. Its also known as the "Nature Isle of the
Caribbean" for its unspoiled natural beauty.
And less we forget to mention, please note that the new Dominica 5 MHz
allocation should not be confused with that of the Dominican Republic which
also has a 60 meter allocation. (ECTEL, Dominica NTRC, G4MWO)

Im Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, with news that hams on both sides of the nation
are on the lookout for some severe weather events.
In the Caribbean and along the Eastern Seaboard the Hurricane Watch Net was
activated on October 16th to follow the track of Hurricane Gonzalo which at
airtime is Category 4 storm heading toward Bermuda packing sustained winds
upward of 145 miles per hour. The Bermuda Weather Service issued a statement
that these winds were expected to buffet the island for more than 24 hours,
and seas would be rapidly building up to 35 feet on Friday October 17th. As
this report is being prepared, the Hurricane Watch Net is expected to be
using 14.325 MHz and 7.268 MHz. Please keep those frequencies clear of
non-hurricane traffic until the emergency is declared to be over.
Meantime in the Pacific, hams on the Island state of Hawaii are on alert as
Tropical Storm Ana is forecast to pass as potentially as a Category 1
hurricane. According to meteorologist Dan Kottlowski, Southern parts of the
Big Island and Kauai are at greatest risk of flooding from rain and tropical
storm-force winds.
Bob Schneider, AH6J, is the Leagues Pacific Section Manager. He was quoted
in the ARRL Letter as saying that he expected to deploy Ham Aid equipment
kits to several schools. The Ham Aid kits which contain both HF and VHF gear
were sent to Hawaii in September as a lava flow was threatening communities
on the Big Island.
On Thursday, October 16th the Ana was located about 490 miles southeast of
Hilo, Hawaii, and had sustained winds of 60 mph. It was moving to the west
at 10 mph. A tropical storm watch was posted for the Big Island by the
Central Pacific Hurricane Center. Ana is expected to reach the islands on
Saturday October18th.

RESCUE RADIO: FCC WAS TO DISCUSS APRIL 2014 911 OUTAGE
The FCC is scheduled to hold an open meeting as this newscast goes to air on
October 17th. Among the topics that were scheduled for discussion was a
presentation regarding an inquiry into a major 911 service outage that
affected seven states this past April. The presentation was to include
findings from a report on the causes and effects of the outage
The panel was also to look at recommendations on actions that the industry,
state governments and the Commission can take to strengthen the reliability
and resiliency of 911 services as the nation transitions to what's being
titled the Next Generation of 911.
Additionally, the Commission was to consider a Notice of Inquiry to explore
innovative developments in the use of spectrum above 24 GHz for mobile
wireless services. It also will look into how the regulatory agency can
facilitate the development and deployment of those technologies. (FCC)

NEW FROM THE NET: MORSE CODE KEY FOR APPLE IOS8
If you have a device running Apple's new iOS 8 operating system, you can now
add an app that will permit sending Morse code from that unit.
Morse Code Telegraph Keyboard plugs directly into your iPhone's keyboard and
lets you send dots and dashes from right within iMessage or your favorite
e-mail.
The most interesting feature of the keyboard app is its relative lack of
keys. It only includes the bare essentials of a J-38 looking key and a handy
Morse Code alphabet and numbers guide.
If you want to give it a try, "Morse Code Telegraph Keyboard" is available
for only 99 cents at the App Store. (Business Insider)

NEW GEAR: K9EID INTRIDUCES PRO 7 HEADSET
Something new for your ears courtesy of Bob Heil, K9EID of Heil Sound. This
as he introduces his new PRO 7 headset that applies some of the knowledge
Bob gained from audio engineering pioneer Paul Klipsch back in the early
1970's.
The new Pro 7 earphones feature a very specialized electrical and mechanical
design that uses a very specialized tuned headphone enclosure that Bob says
really eliminates usual distortion while producing greater sensitivity and a
gorgeous response. Also included in the design is a balanced control that's
usually absent from most headsets.
On the microphone boom, you can get either a newly developed dynamic that is
as articulate as the original Heil HC 5. Also available is an electret
capsule for the early low level input iCOM rigs. These mic elements are
interchangeable in the field.
For more on the new Pro 7 headset and other of Bob's inventive products go

TECHNOLOGY VS. ECOLOGY: ENDANGERED TREE SNAILS STOP HPR OVER THE AIR
BROADCASTS
Hawaii Public Radio says its signal to parts of Kauai and Oahu will be out
until further notice because of endangered tree snails. Amateur Radio
Newsline's Bruce Tennant, K6PZW reports:
--
According to the broadcaster, recent storms knocked out power lines to the
radio station's relay facility at the summit of Mount Ka'ala relay
transmitters beam signals to the east and south sides of Kauai as well as to
Oahu's North Shore. A separate microwave relay also sends signals to KIPL
89.9 in Lihue.
Station generators carried the signal for several days, but ran out of fuel
on Sept. 30th. Normally the power company would have been able to fix the
electrical line with little delay, but not this time. That's because the
location where the required repair is needed has been identified as the
habitat of endangered species of tree snails that are currently in mating
season.
For now, listeners on Kauai and the North Shore are asked to tune in via
live Internet streaming using Hawaii Public Radio free mobile app or to cable
broadcasts.

At airtime there is no word when the snails mating season will end and the

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: MORE GADGETS THAN PEOPLE
You may find this next item a bit strange, but apparently its true. And
depending how you look at it can be funny, scary or a little of both. Here's
WIA Newsman, Graham Kemp, VK4BB, with the details:
--
For the first time ever there are more gadgets in the world than there are
people, including a growing number that only communicate with other machines,
according to data from digital analysts at GSMA Intelligence.com.
The number of active mobile devices and human beings crossed over somewhere
around the 7.19 billion mark.
GSMA's real-time tracker put the number of mobile devices at 7.22 billion
whilst the US Census Bureau says the number of people is still somewhere
between 7.19 and 7.2 billion.
Gadgets like tablets, smartphones and not-so-smart phones are multiplying
five times faster than we are, with our population growing at a rate of about
two people per second, or 1.2% annually.

RADIO FROM SPACE: NASA MAVEN ORBITER SENDS BACK INFORMATION ON SUN CME
NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution or MAVEN orbiter has yet to
begin its formal science mission, but it is already radioing back clear
images and crucial data about the fourth planet's upper atmosphere.
The spacecraft entered orbit around Mars September 21st. Only nine days
later it imaged a coronal mass ejection from the Sun's surface. The early
observations are already providing scientists with hints as to how the red
planet's atmosphere changed over time.
MAVEN's official mission will begin sometime in November, once final
adjustments are made to the orbiter's science instruments. Its long range
purpose is to conduct a study of the Mars upper atmosphere to determine how
it transitioned from a habitable planet to the cold and dry world it is
today. Scientists think that maybe billions of years ago that a warm Mars
would have been able to sustain liquid water in which microbial life could
develop.

THAT FINAL ITEM: PACIFICON CLOSES OUT THE MAJOR HAMFEST SEASON
And finally, the weekend of October 10th to the 12th saw the unofficial end
of the 2014 major ham radio convention season with the holding of the 2014
Pacificon Convention in Santa Clara, California. And according to Gordon
West, WB6NOA, who was one of this years presenters, accolades go to the
sponsors of this years event:
--
WB6NOA: "What a great job that the Mt. Diablo Amateur Radio Club and other
volunteers did in pulling this off. It was a three day deal on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday."
--
Saturday was the big day with lots happening through out the Santa Clara
Marriott Convention Center:
--
WB6NOA: "On Friday afternoon as well as Saturday and half of Sunday the
exhibit hall was open, and let me tell that it was a whose who in amateur
radio was there in the exhibit hall. All of the majors (suppliers) were
there. All of the up and coming were there and the booths were absolutely
filled throughout the entire day."
--
As to attendance, so far there are no official numbers, but if the Flea
Market was any indication, then the numbers had to be strong:
--
WB6NOA: "I knew it was going to be big when I saw the swap-meet going on in
the dead of dark on Saturday morning. Probably 2000 to 2400 and they were
all with smiles."
--
WB6NOA also reports on overflow attendance at popular digital radio seminar
tracks such as SDR, D-STAR, and DMR . West also says a Sunday morning "Ham
Radio 101 " track for brand new hams was a big help to get new licensees on
the air over the local BayNet repeater systems, and other local open
repeaters .
Perhaps the biggest surprise came with the announcement that Pacificon 2015
is moving a couple of miles away to the San Ramon Marriott in San Ramon,
California. Next years dates are October 16th through the 18th. If you have
a suggestion to help make next year's event even better, let the planners
know by e-mail to info (at) pacificon.org. (ARNewsline, WB6NOA)
