Momentum Building to Urge Senate Passage of the Amateur Radio Parity Act

The response to ARRL's call to action urging the support of US Senators for the
Amateur Radio Parity Act, H.R. 1301, has been gratifying -- although the
campaign continues. More than 50,000 e-mails have been sent to Capitol Hill via
Rally Congress, and all 100 US Senate members have been contacted. The League
continues to encourage members of the Amateur Radio community who have not yet
done so to reach out to their two US Senators seeking their support. Just where
things stand with respect to the bill's future in the US Senate is not yet
entirely clear.

"As of this moment, we have no date set for action by the Senate," said ARRL
Hudson Division Director Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, who has been deeply involved in
promoting passage of the legislation. "The Senate will adjourn the September
work period soon and members will return home to campaign. If we do not achieve
consideration before they go into hiatus, we will have to wait until they
return after Election Day."

On September 12, the US House of Representatives approved H.R. 1301 on a voice
vote under a suspension of the rules, culminating many years of effort on
ARRL's part to gain legislation that would enable radio amateurs living in
deed-restricted communities to erect antennas that support Amateur Radio
communication. The bill calls on the FCC to amend its Part 97 rules "to
prohibit the application to amateur stations of certain private land-use
restrictions, and for other purposes."

Shepherded by ARRL, the overwhelming grassroots support for H.R. 1301 from the
Amateur Radio community was credited for getting the bill through the US House,
but it faces significant obstacles to passage in the US Senate. The earlier US
Senate version of the bill, S. 1685, no longer is in play, and the Senate is
expected to vote on the version of H.R. 1301 that the House adopted this month.
The vote came after ARRL worked with the Community Association Institute --
which represents homeowners associations -- to develop language that both
organizations could support.

Rally Congress makes it easy to generate letters to Senators in support of The
Amateur Radio Parity Act. The entire process takes just a couple of minutes.

"So it is critical that ARRL members continue to write their Senators," Lisenco
urged. "To those who have already written, thank you! If you haven't done so
already, please do so today. We can only do so much. After that, it becomes the
responsibility of the membership to participate."

As the amended bill provides, "Community associations should fairly administer
private land-use regulations in the interest of their communities, while
nevertheless permitting the installation and maintenance of effective outdoor
Amateur Radio antennas. There exist antenna designs and installations that can
be consistent with the aesthetics and physical characteristics of land and
structures in community associations while accommodating communications in the
Amateur Radio services."

More information on The Amateur Radio Parity Act is on the ARRL website.



AT&T's New "AirGig" is Not Your Father's BPL

Recalling the earlier efforts of the FCC and telecommunications and utility
interests to roll out "Broadband over Power Line" (BPL) technology, the Amateur
Radio community has been buzzing with questions about AT&T's just-announced
"AirGig" BPL plan to make broadband available via apparently similar
technology. ARRL's earlier anti-BPL campaign, and market forces, eventually led
to the demise of the prior BPL initiative. ARRL Laboratory Manager Ed Hare,
W1RFI, who spearheaded the earlier effort to quantify BPL's threat to Amateur
Radio's HF spectrum and remains the resident expert on the subject, said this
newest BPL incarnation should not pose an interference issue for radio
amateurs.

"This technology uses millimeter-wave RF signals (30 GHz to 300 GHz) coupled
onto the surface of power lines to transmit the signal along the line with
relatively low losses," Hare explained. "After looking at this technology, it
looks nothing like the type of HF and VHF BPL that caused us so many problems
years ago. The sky is not falling."

Hare added that it is not likely that the AT&T technology will even use Amateur
Radio bands, so there is little reason for concern even among those amateurs
who use spectrum above 24 GHz.

According to AT&T's September 20 announcement, the company is "deep in the
experimentation phase" of the developing technology, which it says would be
"easier to deploy than fiber, can run over license-free spectrum, and can
deliver ultra-fast wireless connectivity to any home or handheld wireless
device." AT&T said its initial -- and continuing -- testing at AT&T outdoor
facilities "has been positive," and initial field trials are set to begin in
2017.

Hare said the League will keep an eye and ear out for interference problems,
but he believes that the frequencies involved and the fact that these signals
should not propagate far from the lines will pose little risk to the Amateur
Radio Service.



Get Set for the SET: ARRL 2016 Simulated Emergency Test is October 1-2 Weekend

The primary focal point of the 2016 ARRL Simulated Emergency Test (SET) is just
ahead -- Saturday and Sunday, October 1 and 2. The national emergency exercise
is aimed at testing the skills and preparedness of the Amateur Radio Emergency
Service (ARES) and other organizations that are called into action in actual
emergency situations.

"Every local ARES team and/or ARRL Section will come up with their own
scenarios and work with served agencies and partner organizations during the
SET," ARRL Field Organization Team Supervisor Steve Ewald, WV1X, said, noting
that not all SETs will take place on October 1 and 2.

"SETs can be scheduled at the local and Section levels and conducted throughout
the fall to help maximize participation," he said. "But ARRL Field Organization
leaders have the option of conducting their SETs on another weekend, if October
1 and 2 is not convenient."

ARRL Field Organization leaders are among those tasked with developing plans
and scenarios for this year's SET, Ewald explained.

"The SET invites all radio amateurs to become aware of emergency preparedness
and available training," Ewald said. "ARES, Radio Amateur Civil Emergency
Service (RACES), National Traffic System(TM), SKYWARN, Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT), Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN), and
other allied groups and public service-oriented radio amateurs are encouraged
to participate."

The object of the annual nationwide exercise is to test training and skills and
to try out new methods.

"It's a time to work with partner organizations and served agencies to get to
know them better and to determine their needs before an emergency or disaster
strikes," Ewald said. "Knowing who to contact within partner groups and knowing
the planned procedures will help everyone to accomplish their goals and succeed
in their missions.

To get involved, contact your local ARRL Emergency Coordinator or Net Manager.
See the ARRL Sections web pages or your ARRL Section Manager (see page 16 of
QST for contact information).

National Parks on the Air Update

More than 650,000 contacts have been logged for ARRL's National Parks on the
Air (NPOTA) program. This comes from over 12,000 different activations of over
450 eligible NPOTA units from 1,178 Activators.

One of those activators is Bob Voss, N4CD. Bob is incredibly active in county
hunting, and has transmitted from all 3077 US counties twice. Bob has also been
an NPOTA road warrior, activating better than 230 unique NPOTA units from his
mobile station. Bob is wrapping up another of his multi-state trips, with
activations from Louisiana to the Eastern Seaboard. Look for him this weekend
from the Washington, DC area; he says he'll probably head out on another NPOTA
adventure in November.

Fifty activations are slated for September 22-28, including Chaco Culture
National Historical Park in New Mexico, and Canyonlands National Park in Utah.

Details about these and other upcoming activations can be found on the NPOTA
Activations calendar.

A Record Breaker on 630 Meters!

Although US radio amateurs do not yet have access to 630 meters, Canadian
licensees do, and one of them was on the North American end of the first
two-way contact on that band between Canada and Australia. Steve McDonald,
VE7SL, in British Columbia, and Roger Crofts, VK4YB, in Queensland, completed a
contact on September 15 between 1225 and 1319 UTC using JT9 digital mode. The
distance covered was on the order of 7000 miles.

"This morning a historic QSO for the Amateur Service was completed!" commented
John Langridge, KB5NJD, who also holds an FCC Part 5 Experimental license,
WG2XIQ. "This is also the longest two-way QSO on 630 meters ever completed."
The contact took place on 474.300 kHz.

McDonald said band conditions were just good enough to get the job done. "Well,
it wasn't pretty as in 'pretty-quick,' but it's done," he told Langridge in
recounting the contact. McDonald told ARRL that the band "was not particularly
good this far north and was much better just a few hundred miles to my south,"
but had been improving "little by little."

Crofts agreed that he and McDonald had a tough time of it. "It was a real
struggle, but finally got there," he told Langridge in an e-mail. "I thought we
were going to miss out, because all the big signals had taken a dive. Obviously
the path to VE7 was still hanging in there."

McDonald said his antenna is "basically about the size of a 160 meter inverted
L, but over extremely poor ground," while Crofts, with what McDonald described
as "a monster antenna" was doing the heavy lifting for the contact. McDonald
was using a transverter that VK4YB had sent him for beta testing, driving an LF
MOSFET amplifier converted for 630 meter use.

Meanwhile. Joe Lowe, NU6O, in California, reports that VK4YB also heard his
WI2XBQ Experimental Service beacon on September 14. "I was running 0.5 W ERP,
50 W TPO, into a 43-foot vertical in the backyard," he told ARRL. "Very low
power and simple equipment are capable of DX on 630 meters!" Lowe said he was
using WSPR mode.

An April 2015 FCC Report and Order, Order, and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(R&O/NPRM) proposed a new secondary 630 meter MF allocation at 472 to 479 kHz
to Amateur Radio, implementing decisions made at WRC-12. It also allocated
135.7 to 137.8 kHz to the Amateur Service on a secondary basis. A Report and
Order is pending.



"Cows Over the World" DXpedition Tour to Resume

Tom Callas, KC0W, reports his all-CW "Cows Over the World" DXpeditions will
resume with his T30COW operation from Western Kiribati, September 25-October
24.

"My proposed 'Top 25 Most Wanted' DXpeditions is not going to happen," he said
on his QRZ.com page. "Sorry for getting anyone's hopes up."

He's still awaiting permission to operate from Tokelau and Nauru. Callas said
all requests to visit Tokelau (ZK3) are reviewed by tribal elders, a process
that "takes a long time," he said in a September 20 update to his QRZ.com page.

"If no firm progress has been made by December, I will DX from Nauru until --
hopefully -- I receive the official okay to visit Tokelau," he said. If he has
to wait longer than that, he will operate from Fiji, taking advantage of the
3D2KOW license he's been issued for a DXpedition in 2017.

He expects to be in the Solomon Islands, operating as H44COW from October 25 to
November 26.

Callas runs 500 W into vertical antennas over salt water, and is active in all
major CW contests. He updates his activities on QRZ.com. QSL direct via KC0W
only. A log search will be available on ClubLog. -- Thanks to Southgate Amateur

Limor Fried, AC2SN, Named Among Most Influential Women in Internet of Things
Industry

The Internet of Things (IoT) Institute has named ARRL member Limor Fried,
AC2SN, of New York City as one of the 25 most influential women in the IoT
industry. IoT embraces the concept of connecting devices from cell phones to
appliances and machine components to the Internet and/or to each other.
Individuals were named on the basis of attainment of leadership roles related
to IoT, hands-on experience developing IoT technology, outstanding research
related to IoT, and social reach, among other factors.

Fried founded the open-source hardware firm Adafruit from her MIT dorm room in
2005. The Manhattan-based company, which now employs more than 50 people,
offers tools, equipment, and electronic components targeted at the "maker"
audience, including IoT technology. She was the first female engineer to appear
on the cover of WIRED and was Entrepreneur magazine's Entrepreneur of the Year
for 2012.

In June, Fried was designated as a White House Champion of Change. As
Adafruit's sole owner, Fried has become known for creating resources for and
supporting the learning of electronics for makers of all ages and skill levels.



World War II Norwegian Resistance Member Haakon S?rbye, LA8Y, SK

World War II Norwegian resistance activist Haakon S?rbye, LA8Y, of Trondheim,
Norway, died on September 15. He was 96. In 1939, the year after World War II
erupted in Europe, S?rbye, then an engineering student and young radio amateur,
first enlisted as a telegrapher in the Norwegian military.

After Norway surrendered to the Nazis, he joined the Norwegian resistance and
became part of the "Skylark B" group -- one of two radio communication teams
that relayed to London information on the movement of German troops and
supplies. The mostly student Skylark B team also alerted London when the
Germans captured the world's first plant to mass-produce heavy water -- a
building block for the atomic bomb.

Most Skylark B members eventually were arrested by the Nazis, and seven of them
died in extermination camps. S?rbye survived, however, and was rescued by the
"White Buses" -- an operation carried out by Swedish Red Cross members in early
1945 that saved more than 15,000 concentration camp survivors.

Following the war, S?rbye returned to school, eventually becoming a professor
of telematics at the Norwegian Institute of Technology. In addition to the
Defence Medal awarded to military and civilian personnel who took part in
fighting the German invasion and occupation of Norway, he was decorated with
the King's Medal for Courage in the Cause of Freedom. -- Thanks to Pete
Varounis, NL7XM



Past ARRL Oregon Section Manager Randy Stimson, KZ7T, SK

Former ARRL Oregon Section Manager Randy Stimson, KZ7T, died on September 10,
after a period of declining health. He was 82. Stimson served as Oregon SM from
1987 until 1998. In 2003, he was appointed to fill a vacancy in the SM post.

He was elected to the position in 2004, and he served until 2006, making him
Oregon's longest-serving SM. In addition to ham radio, Stimson was active for
many years in Cycle Oregon.

A service will be held in Spokane, Washington, on September 24. -- Thanks to
Everett Curry, W6ABM

New Section Manager Appointed in Northern New Jersey: Steve Ostrove, K2SO, of
Elizabeth, New Jersey, was appointed as ARRL Northern New Jersey Section
Manager, effective September 16. He takes the
reins of the Northern New Jersey Field Organization after Richard Krohn, N2SMV,
announced his resignation after serving as SM since July 2008. ARRL Field
Services and Radiosport Manager Dave Patton, NN1N, received Krohn's resignation
and recommendation for his replacement and consulted with ARRL Hudson Division
Director Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, before making the appointment. Ostrove will
complete the current term of office that extends until June 30, 2017. Ostrove
has served as Assistant Section Manager in Northern New Jersey since 2009, and
was the Section Emergency Coordinator from 2001 through 2008. He is a District

Kentucky Lieutenant Governor and Radio Amateur Talks Ham Radio during Hamfest,
Interview: ARRL member Jenean Hampton, K5EIB, the relatively new Lieutenant
Governor of Kentucky, was a guest of honor at the Greater Louisville Hamfest on
September 10. She told attendees that her duties as Lieutenant Governor did not
let her be as involved in ham radio as she would like, but she does keep a 2
meter handheld transceiver with her because, she explained, "It's important to
always be prepared in the event of an emergency." Lt Gov Hampton was
interviewed by Katie Allen, WY7YL, for Amateur Radio Roundtable on August 23.
She told Allen that she's really looking forward to getting some "serious
equipment" and that not having time for ham radio is one of the things she
regrets about her life in politics.



One Radio Amateur Among Expedition 49/50 Crew Members Headed to ISS: Three
Expedition 49/50 crew members will head to the International Space Station on
Friday, September 23. Astronaut Shane Kimbrough, KE5HOD, and cosmonauts Sergey
Ryzhikov and Andrey Borisenko will head into space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome
in Kazakhstan. They will spend approximately 5 months aboard the orbital
complex before returning to Earth in late February. Kimbrough, Ryzhikov, and
Borisenko will join Expedition 49 Commander Anatoly Ivanishin and his crewmates
-- Kate Rubins, KG5FYJ, and Takuya Onishi, KF5LKS, who have been on station
since July. Between launch and docking, the trio will spend 2 days in the Soyuz
MS-02, testing system upgrades. NASA TV will provide live coverage of the
launch and docking.



ARRL November Sweepstakes Operating Period is 30 Hours: The 2016 ARRL November
Sweepstakes announcement that appears on page 94 of the October 2016 issue of
QST incorrectly indicates the period of the event. The ARRL November
Sweepstakes runs for 30 hours, and participants may operate for 24 out of the

The K7RA Solar Update

Tad Cook, K7RA, Seattle, reports: Sunspot numbers and solar flux were down over
our September 15-21 reporting week. The average daily sunspot number was 29.9,
down from 50.1 during the previous 7 days. Average daily solar flux dipped from
88.9 to 83.4.

Geomagnetic indices were up a bit, with the average daily planetary A index
rising from 6.7 to 8.9, and the average daily mid-latitude A index moving from
6.1 to 7.6. The predicted average planetary A index for the next 7 days is
expected to rise to 13.1, and the average solar flux to 86.4, according to the
latest 45-day outlook.

Predicted solar flux is 85 on September 22-24; 90 on September 25-26; 85 on
September 27-29; 95 on September 30-October 2; 90 on October 3-6; 85 on October
7-13; 80 on October 14-15; 85 on October
16-20; 88, 90, and 95 on October 21-23; 100 on October 24-27, and 95 on October
28-29.

The predicted planetary A index is 8 on September 22-23; 5, 8, 18, and 10 on
October 24-27; 35 on September 28-29; 32 on September 30; 30 and 18 on October
1-2; 15 on October 3-5; 5 on October 6-15; 18, 20, 12, and 8 on October 16-19;
5 on October 20-22; 15 and 10 on October 23-24, and 35 on October 25-27.

Thursday, September 22 is the autumnal equinox, and the first day of fall. This
should herald better HF propagation than we've seen in the past couple of
months, and Spaceweather.com reports that this is also the start of the aurora
season.

Sunspot numbers for September 15 through 21 were 12, 13, 14, 47, 56, 32, and
35, with a mean of 29.9. The 10.7 centimeter flux was 84.4, 83.7, 80.3, 83,
82.6, 84.5, and 85.5, with a mean of 83.4. Estimated planetary A indices were
7, 3, 4, 9, 10, 19, and 10, with a mean of 8.9. Estimated mid-latitude A
indices were 6, 3, 4, 8, 8, 15, and 9, with a mean of 7.6.
