RADIO IN SPACE:  ESA OFFERING ELIGIBLE GROUPS USE OF MARS EXPRESS VISUAL
MONITORING CAMERA IN MAY

A webcam on board the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft will
be available for public imaging requests in May and E-S-A is inviting
schools, science clubs and youth groups to submit proposals for one of about
eight opportunities to image another planet.  We get the details from Heather
Embee KB3TZD...

[HEATHER:] The Visual Monitoring Camera or V-M-C is described as a simple,
low-resolution device that was originally intended only to provide visual
confirmation of Beagle lander separation.  While it's not a scientific
instrument the camera has the ability to deliver good quality pictures of
intriguing martian features. 

In May, Mars will be in solar conjunction, meaning that line-of-sight radio
signals between Earth and Mars Express will be disrupted by the Sun.  As a
result, the spacecraft's normal scientific payload will be switched off. 
This offers a first-ever, three-day period when the V-M-C camera can be
freely pointed at almost any target on the planet from the spacecraft's 300
by 10,000 kilometer orbit.  

While any number of eligible groups may submit proposals, only the most
promising will be selected, one slot per group, corresponding to about eight
observation slots available.  Proposals to make use of these slots must
include the desired observation target, a brief note about why it's
interesting and a description of the intended project that will fully exploit
the images.  Those with strong educational value and representing a cohesive
team effort will have the best chances of being accepted.  If selected, E-S-A
expects that groups that are awarded a slot will use its image set in a
scientific or artistic project that makes full, imaginative use of the visual
information they contain.

The V-M-C image sets will be downloaded on May 28th and then delivered to
participating groups electronically.  Projects should be completed by the end
of the current academic year or July 31st,  whichever comes first and will be
later published in the V-M-C blog.   The call for proposals runs through
March 27th.  For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Heather Embee  KB3TZD, in
Berwick, Pennsylvania. 


[ANCHOR] Full details on the V-M-C Imaging Campaign timeline, eligibility
and technical information is on the web at tinyurl.com/image-the-red-planet.

SOLAR ACTIVITY:  FIRST X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE OF 2015 CAUSES SHORT HF RADIO
BLACKOUT

The sun unleashed its first super powerful flare of 2015 on Wednesday March
11th with the intense eruption aimed directly at Earth.  

According to Space.com, the X-class flare, which is the strongest category
possible, peaked at 16:22 GMT originating from a sunspot known as Active
Region 12297.  It registered as an X 2.2 sun storm on the scale.  Scientists
classify strong solar flares into three categories.  These are C, M and X,
with  X flares bring 10 times more powerful than M flares.  X2 and X3 flares
are twice and three times as powerful as X1 flares.  

Active Region 12297 had previously fired off a number of medium-strength
flares over the preceding few days.  The event on March 11th caused at least
an hour-long blackout in high-frequency radio communications over wide areas,
according to scientists with the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center in
Boulder, Colorado.  

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured stunning video of this X-class
solar flare as it erupted.  More details including links to the space.com
video and photos are on our Facebook page at

RADIO POLITICS:  AMATEUR RADIO PARITY ACT OF 2015 INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS

The Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2015 known as H.R.1301 has been introduced
in the US House of Representatives.  The measure would direct the FCC to
extend its rules relating to reasonable accommodation of Amateur Service
communications to private land use restrictions. 

U.S. Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois introduced the bill on March
4 with 12 original co-sponsors from both sides of the aisle.  Kinzinger also
sponsored The Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2014, which died at the end of the
113th Congress.  H.R. 1301 is an essentially identical piece of legislation.

RESTRUCTURING: COMMENTARY DEADLINE LOOMS IN POSSIBLE 76 TO 81 GHZ SPECTRUM
REALLOCATION PROPOSAL

The comments deadline is coming up on an FCC proceeding that could lead to
expanded spectrum for various applications in a band that amateur radio
shares with other services. Skeeter Nash N5ASH explains...

[SKEETER:] The band 77.5 to 78 GHz is allocated to the Amateur and Amateur
Satellite services on a primary basis, and to the Radio Astronomy and Space
Research services on a secondary basis.  The FCC released a detailed Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking and Reconsideration Order in ET Docket 15-26 on
February 5th.  The suggestions in the Docket include possible allocation
changes as well as provisions to ensure that new and incumbent operations can
share the available frequencies in the band.

The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Reconsideration Order was in response
to a 2012 Petition for Rulemaking in RM-11666 from Robert Bosch LLC.  Bosch's
petition sought to modify the FCC's Part 15 rules to expand the operation of
unlicensed vehicular radar systems from 76 to 77 GHz to the 76 to 81 GHz band
to develop short-range radar  applications.  ET Docket 15-26 also addresses
two petitions for reconsideration of the Commission's 2012 Report and Order
concerning vehicular radar systems in the 76 to 77 GHz band by incorporating
these earlier proceedings.  

Among many issues, the Commission seeks comment on the possibility of
reallocating the Amateur Radio and Amateur Satellite services from 76 to 81
GHz, and it asks for suggestions on alternative spectrum that it might make
available in this general region.

Noting that it has previously recognized evidence of potential interference
conflicts between amateur radio and vehicular radar systems in the 76 to 77
GHz spectrum the FCC said it believes the potential for similar compatibility
issues could exist above 77 GHz. 

More than 10 years ago the FCC suspended Amateur Radio and Amateur Satellite
operation in the 76 to 77 GHz segment and recently extended the suspension.

Commentary cutoff is April 6th with reply comments due no later than April
20th.  Interested parties may file comments in ET Docket 15-26 via the FCC
Electronic Comment Filing System. For Newsline, I'm Skeeter Nash N5ASH in
Topeka, Kansas.

LICENSING STATS:  US HAM RADIO NUMBERS REACH ALL-TIME HIGH

Amateur radio growth in the United States continues unabated.  At the end of
2014 the total number of radio amateurs in the FCC's Universal Licensing
System database reached an all-time high of 726,725.  The trend has continued
into the first 2 months of 2015which saw the ham population rise to slightly
more than 727,000.

Just under half of all U.S. licensees hold the
Technician class license.  The Technician class-which was originally
introduced in the 1950's for VHF experimentation-today permits holders to
operate 200 watts output on four High Frequency bands and up to 1500 watts
output on all VHF, UHF and Microwave bands.

RESCUE RADIO:  LAWMAKERS SAY ACTIVATING FM CHIPS IN SMARTPHONES A MATTER OF
PUBLIC SAFETY

A couple of members of Congress are lobbying the head of the FCC over cell
phone broadcast reception, as we hear from Stephen Kinford, N8WB...

[STEPHEN:] United States Representatives Bennie Thompson of Mississippi and
Peter DeFazio of Oregon say that activating the FM broadcast reception chips
in many smartphones is a matter of public safety.  

In a recent note to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, the two lawmakers urged him to
take every possible action to ensure that the public has every tool in the
public alerts and warnings toolbox at its disposal.  This should include
access to FM radio through activation of radio chips already built into
almost all smart phones.  

In their letter they noted that text based Wireless Emergency Alerts are
limited to 90 characters, severely limiting their usefulness.  In fact, one
of the pieces of advice often contained in those 90 characters is to tune
into local broadcasts for more information.

Concluding their argument, they wrote that radio is a proven lifeline in
times of emergency, connecting consumers to the information they need to stay
safe.  During times of emergency, it is critically important that Americans
have access to broadcast radio, which would provide instant emergency,
lifesaving information on-the-go.  They also pledged to work with Wheeler to
make it happen. For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephen Kinford N8WB in
Wadsworth, Ohio.

RADIO CRIME:  QUICK AREST IN WASHINTON STATE TRNSMITTER BURGLARY

Authorities in Washington state recently arrested a 30-year-old transient
man after he was caught with several thousand dollars in alleged stolen radio
equipment.  The Grant County Sheriff said the equipment was taken from an
FM-radio transmitter tower north of the town of Quincy. 

Cherry Creek Radio had called the local electric company because the
station's transmitter was out of service, possibly due to a power outage at
the Monument Hill tower site.  When lineman arrived  they saw a man in a
white Subaru apparently stealing radio equipment.  They said the car fled
southbound but Sheriff's deputies caught up with the vehicle and stopped it. 
In it they found about $10,000 in electronic components belonging to Cherry
Creek Radio.

A suspect was taken to the Grant County Jail on suspicion of
second-degree burglary, and first-degree possession of a controlled
substance.  The latter charge came about after correction officers also found
methamphetamine on him while he was being booked.

SHORTWAVE RADIO VIDEO:  RADIO SWEDEN'S SW AND MW TRANSMITTERS

A 2006 documentary video that gives a look at the Radio Sweden shortwave
transmitters at Horby and the Solvesborg AM transmitter has been found on the
web by Rob Wagner, VK3BVW.  

According to VK3BVW what is interesting about this video is the detailed
view of the inside of the shortwave and medium wave transmitters.  This as it
offers some insight into the day-to-day work of an engineer for a large
international broadcaster. 

The film produced by Kelly Lindman is 30 minutes long and is in memory of
the late Hakan Widenstedt.  Widenstedt was the Chief Engineer for Radio
Sweden who passed away in 2011.  

While the audio track is in Swedish the video does have English subtitles. 
Its available for on-line viewing at tinyurl.com/radio-sweden-transmitters.

WORLDBEAT: FIRST ANALOG/DIGITAL DMR REPEATER COMES TO PORTUGAL 

The first compatible analog FM and Digital Mobile Radio repeater has come to
Portugal.  The CQ0UCSC is a UHF repeater recently put into service by the by
the Associa‡
o de Radioamadores da Linha de Cascais.  

The new repeater is located near Lisbon and utilizes the Motorola Mototrbo
system currently at 10 watts out.  The repeater listens on 431.125 MHz and
transmits on 438.725 MHz.  When in analog FM mode access requires a 74.4
Hertz sub audible access tone.  This allows its use both in conventional
analog FM at 25 kHz or Mototrbo D-M-R.  

Its sponsors do note that CQ0UCSC it is not compatible with either ICOM or
any other form of D-STAR gear or the C4FM System Fusion by Yaesu.  Users
require a Mototrbo compatible radio to make use of it for digital voice
operation.

RADIO SCIENCE: VLF ENTHUSIASTS PLAN ECLIPSE EXPERIMENT


Very Low Frequency or V-L-F enthusiasts, mainly those living in the
United Kingdom and other Northern Hemisphere regions are planning some
experiments during a solar eclipse on March 20th.  A number of these V-L-F
observers will be paying particular attention to received signal strengths
during this period and comparing results afterwards, with the aim of
compiling an in depth report.  Of particular interest will be the NRK signal
on 7.5 kHz from Iceland. They are also interested in any results from other
V-L-F and Low Frequency stations.

For those planning to take part,
measurements should be prepared in a .CSV format and with accurate time
stamps.  The exact arrangements are still to be finalized but will probably
involve measurements for the same time period before and the day after the
eclipse.  If you would like to participate in this study contact Paul Hyde
via e-mail to g4csd (at) yahoo (dot) co (dot) u.

THAT FINAL ITEM:   GERMAN AMATEUR RADIO BASED GROUP RESCUES  SHORTWAVE
BROADCAST FREQUENCY

And finally this week, a group of hams in Germany have brought back to life
part of an international shortwave station and naming it Channel 292. Here is
Bill Pasternak WA6ITF with the story...

[BILL:] When the station Deutsche Welle decided to close down one of its 500
Kilowatt shortwave  broadcast transmitters near Munich at the end of 2012, a
group of radio amateurs applied for and were allocated the then-available
short wave frequency of 6070 KHz.  That came about in 2013.

This group now has an operational 10 Kilowatt station on the frequency,
using the driver stages from the old Deutsche Welle transmitter.  The rest of
the  transmitter was built and is run by Rainer Ebeling, DB8QC.  The license
allow transmission 24 a day and 7 days a week, but Channel 292 currently it
operates mainly on weekends.  

Initially there will be two programs.  One called DARC Radio that will
contain DX related items DXpedition News, reports and the like.  That will be
in German.  The other is titled "English Amateur Radio News" which will be
broadcasting the GB2RS News from the Radio Society of Great Britain in
English along with other ham radio information services. 

Rainer Englert, DF2NU, is one of the group running the station and also the
president of the Munich South section of the Germany's national amateur radio
society D-A-R-C, the Deutscher Amateur Radio Club.  He hopes to be able to
broadcast more often once sufficient content is available.  

However there is one sour note.  The hams say that they are already seeing
other broadcasters such as Radio China moving onto the frequency in the
evenings as those stations perceive 6070 KHz as a frequency free to use .  

The stations program schedule is at tinyurl.com/channel-292-on-air and it
welcomes reception reports from listeners anywhere in the world.  All will be
answered with a QSL card sent via via the DARC QSL bureau. For the Amateur
Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak WA6ITF in Los Angeles.
