BRAZIL PROPOSES 5275 KHZ TO 5450 KHZ INTERNATIONAL ALLOCATION FOR AMATEUR
SERVICE

Anatel which is the national telecommunications agency of Brazil will
propose new 60 meter Amateur Service allocation from 5275 to 5450 kHz,  This
at the next meeting of the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission or
CITEL slated to take place from September 29th to October 4th at M‚rida City,
Mexico.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Don Wilbanks, AE5DW, has the details:

--

The decision to move forward occurred on September 11th at the Brazilian
Communications Commission.  This is a consultative committee for WRC-15
subjects formed by government, industry and representatives of the society
and is lead by Anatel.

The 5275 to 5450 kHz contiguous secondary allocation is the widest segment
recently suggested by compatibility and sharing studies at the ITU.  Even so,
the preliminary proposal will also consider national adaptations since it
will include a footnote where is described that each national administration
can provide additional constraints to provide further compatibility with
existing services and other national and local spectrum realitie.

As reported Canada also plans to introduce a similar request at the upcoming
meeting.  In its case the proposal will be for a split allocation running
from 5.330 to 5.355 MHz and the second beginning at 5.405 and ending at 5.430
MHz.  In both proposals the Amateur Service would be on a secondary, non
interfering basis to existing 60 meter spectrum users.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline. I'm Don Wilbanks, AE5DW, in southern
Mississippi.

--

Despite Canada and Brazil being the first countries in Region 2 to
officially support Amateur Service around 5300 MHz, several others already
have authorized domestic allocations considering past successful experiments.

RESTRUCTURING:  WIA SEEKS MEMBER INOUT FOR NEW HAM RULES FOR THAT NATION

The Wireless Institute of Australia is seeking input from the V-K ham
community on possible new regulations to bring before that nation's
telecommunications regulator as we hear from Roger Harrison, VK2ZRH:

--

The regulation that governs amateur radio in Australia, known as the License
Conditions Determination, or LCD, will expire on the first of October next
year.  The Australian Communications and Media Authority - the ACMA - has to
"remake" the LCD so that regulation of the Amateur Service continues after
that date.  This offers the WIA and the Australian amateur community an
opportunity to re-think how best to regulate the Amateur Service now, and for
the future. 

The LCD sets out how the three license grades operate, their frequency
bands, the transmission modes that may be used and maximum permitted powers. 
The WIA Board has identified a raft of issues for evaluation and invites all
current and prospective amateurs to have input on any related matter, before
a final submission - or series of submissions - is prepared by the Board. 

The WIA sees the need to better align the LCD with the regulations
prevailing in other countries - particularly for Foundation and Standard
licensees . . . and license conditions set to enable Australian amateurs to
adapt to emerging technologies; a new LCD should reduce unnecessary
regulatory burdens - on both amateurs and the ACMA. 

A major issue raised by the WIA Board is that the remade Amateur LCD must
include direct reference to the electromagnetic emission - or EME -
requirements all amateurs must meet, so that every amateur is made aware of
their compliance obligations. 

Another key issue identified by the WIA Board is to have a new LCD allow
greater flexibility to experiment, with amateur radio to remain a
self-regulating service with no reduction or downgrading from the current
Apparatus License principles. 

In summary - for the Advanced license, the WIA advocates a relaxation of
permitted bandwidths and, in line with greater awareness and compliance with
the EME requirements, a power limit of up to 1000 watts without having a
separate a permit. In addition, a variety of new frequency band allocations
are also to be sought. 

For the Standard license - the WIA advocates a relaxation of bandwidths to
allow wideband digital and image modes, up to 200 watts output, and an
increase in the number of permitted bands - particularly the lower part of
six meters at 50-52 MHz - the latter was pursued with the ACMA some years
ago. 

For the entry level Foundation License, the WIA will seek the addition of
digital modes, the use of commercial DIY transmitter kits, permitted for the
use of converted non-amateur transceivers to ham bands, an increase of power
level to 25 watts, and conditions to enable unattended operation and remote
control - this style of operation is permitted in other countries, the UK for
example. 

This is Roger Harrison VK2ZRH.

RESTRUCTURING:  NEW AMATEUR RADIO ACT IN PREPARATION FOR AUSTRIA

Another nation that appears to be getting ready for some level of license
restructuring is Austria.  This with word that the Austrian national ham
radio society is involved in the negotiations with the government
telecommunications ministry, to create a new Amateur Radio Act.  

On September 15th the President of the national society was contacted by
senior representatives of the Federal Ministry and invited to discuss a
contemporary redesign of Austrian amateur radio rules.  The invitation notes
that the current Amateur Radio Act of 1999 and forms the fundamental basis
for the amateur radio service in Austria.  It provides the basic Amateur
Service framework at the national level, the detailed regulations and
frequencies available to hams in Austria.

According to the Austrian national ham radio society, the negotiations will
revolve around modernizing that nation's rules.  This so as they are more
contemporary, bring relief in the application process and also enable such
concepts as remote operation.  The society notes that recent experiments with
remote operation proceeded without any disturbances or incidents.  (OVSV,

RADIO LAW:  2300 MHZ RESTRICTION IN NIJMEGEN NETHERLANDS

The Netherlands Ham News reports radio amateurs within 20 miles of the city
of Nijmegen lost the use of the 2300 MHz band on September 21st.  This is
because TV video and audio links that will use the frequencies 2325, 2335,
2345 and 2355 MHz each with a bandwidth of 8 MHz.  In the Netherlands
television broadcasters are the primary users of the 13 cm band.  The article
did not say if this loss is permanent or only for a limited time.

RADIO LAW:  FCC TURNS DOWN PETITION TO CREATE A UNITED STATES 4 METER HAM
BAND

There will not be a 4 meter band in the United States anytime in the near
future if ever.  At least it appears that way after the FCC acts to dismiss a
rule making request filed by Glen Zook, K9STH, of Richardson, Texas, who had
asked that such a ham radio band be created.  Amateur Radio Newsline's
Heather Embee, KB3TZD, has more:

--

In his filing, Glen Zook, K9STH, had asked the Commission to allocate 70.0
to 70.5 MHz to the amateur radio service.  This based on the migration of
broadcast television stations to primarily UHF frequencies and there-by
basically eliminating any probable interference to television channels 4 or 5.

In denying the request the FCC noted that there are still a trio of full
power broadcasters and more than 100 low power television broadcasters
currently using TV channel 4 in the United States.  The regulatory agency
also noted the likely re-farming of the broadcast television landscape after
the upcoming incentive auction to free up UHF spectrum for broadband.  This
might mean numerous full power television stations being forced to relocate
to the low band broadcast allocations that includes channels 4 and 5.

The 4 meter band is authorized in several ITU region one nations including
the United Kingdom.  Hams in North America have been experimenting with
cross-band contacts by monitoring the 4 meters while using time coordination
and other Region Two amateur service spectrum to try to make contacts.  This
is not unlike the so-called old days before I-T-U Region one had a six meter
allocation.  Back then, hams on this side of the Atlantic worked their
European counterparts by returning their calls on what were informally known
as the 10 meter to 6 meter calling frequencies.  

For the Amateur Radio Newsline. I'm Heather Embee, KB3TZD, reporting.

ACCIDENT REPORT:  WISCONSIN HAM KILLED IN FALL FROM TOWER

A sad story to report.  James Linstedt, W9ZUC, of Eau Clair, Wisconsin died
Tuesday, September 16th following injuries sustained when he fell 95 feet
from an amateur radio tower just outside of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

Linstedt, age 59, is reported to have had extensive experience climbing and
working on towers.   Chippewa County Sheriff Jim Kowalczyk says it appears
Linstedt was wearing a safety harness while on the 100-foot-tall tower, but
as he moved around on the tower he was not safely strapped in.  (Nevada AR

RESCUE RADIO:  INDIA HAMS HOPE TO RESPOND TO KASHMIR FLOODING

Bureaucracy and red-tape has apparently placed a ham radio relief operation
on hold to India's flood ravaged Jammu and Kashmir regions.  As this newscast
is being prepared, the amateur radio communications team is ready to go but
there are some sticking points.

Suri Ram Mohan, VU2MYH, is the executive vice-chairman and director of the
National Institute of Amateur Radio.  He notes that the operation of amateur
radio is banned in certain areas like Jammu and Kashmir.  As such ham relief
operators cannot jump into action without seeking  permission from India's
Wireless Planning Commission and Co-ordination Wing. 

VU2MYH says that he has written to the agency's wireless advisor asking him
to grant the ham radio relief communicators permission to operate from those
locations without facing any legal complications.  If everything worked out
as VU2MYH hoped, the operator's should be on station by the time this
newscast goes to air.  (New India Express)

RESCUE RADIO:  ARRL SIMULATED EMERGENCY TEST OCTOBER 4-5

The 2014 ARRL sponsored national Simulated Emergency Test or SET is slated
for the weekend of October 4th and 5th.  SET usually pronounced as the word
set is a nationwide exercise in disaster response and emergency
communication, administered by the League's emergency coordinators and net
managers, in which volunteers respond to a mock emergency or disaster, such
as an earthquake or hurricane.

SET offers volunteer public service communicators the opportunity to focus
on their capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses.  This, while interacting
with National Traffic System nets.  It also provides a public demonstration
to served agencies such as the Red Cross, along with state and local
emergency managers.

HAM TECHNOLOGY:  IARU R1 RELEASE VHF/UHF/MICROWAVE HANDBOOK

IARU Region 1 has released edition 6.14 of the free VHF Managers Handbook
covering the VHF, UHF and Microwave amateur radio bands.  While primarily
aimed at activities on these bands in Europe, Africa and parts of the
Middle-East, the publication contains quite a bit of information applicable
to operations world-wide.  This is especially true in the area of planning
contact attempts between various IARU regions.    

The handbook has chapters on Band Planning, Contests, Propagation Research,
Operating Procedures and Satellites.  It also goes into intricate detail on a
number of technical aspects such as specifying a standard for the use of
circular polarization defining which way helical beam antennas should be
threaded.  You can download your copy of this informative publication at

HAM TECHNOLOGY:  PLAN FOR BETA RELEASE OF WSJT-X V1.4

A public beta release of the weak signal data modes software WSJT-X, version
1.4, is now planned for October 1st.  

WSJT-X is a computer program designed to facilitate basic amateur radio
communication using very weak signals.  The first four letters in the program
name stand for "Weak Signal communication by K1JT," while the suffix "X"
indicates that this version started as an extended and experimental branch of
WSJT.

Some of the changes in version 1.4 relative to version 1.3 include such
items as improved C-A-T control for most radios including expanded support
for Commander, Ham Radio Deluxe, and OmniRig.  Other improvements are the
ability to better handle messages that include compound callsigns and support
for standard localization conventions to mention only a few.

In all, there are nine specific changes and improvements to the WSJT-X
software in this latest release.  To find out what they are send your web

RADIO TECHNOLOGY:  DIP IN STRATOSPHERIC RADIATION DURING SOLAR STORM

A rather surprising outcome to a scientific experiment.  On September 12th,
student scientists from Earth to Sky Calculus in California launched a
weather balloon during the most intense solar storm so far this year.

They expected to measure an increase in the radiation count.  Instead they
measured a sharp drop.  The reason for this phenomena is thought to be
something call the Forbush Decrease named after physicist Scott Ellsworth
Forbush who first described it in the 20th century.

Simply said, when the Suns Coronal Mass Ejection, or CME sped past Earth, it
swept aside many of the cosmic rays that normally surround our planet.  More
on the unexpected outcome to this experiment can be found by searching for
"students measure Forbush decrease" on the Spaceweather.com website.

RADIO FROM SPACE:  ROSETTA MISSSION ANNOUNCES PHILLAE LANDING SITE

Europe's Rosetta mission team, which intends to land a probe on the 4km-wide
comet 67 P later this year, has identified what they think is the safest
place to land the small robot craft.  Now, researchers and controllers from
the European Space Agency have chosen what appears to be a relatively smooth
region on the smaller of the comet's two lobes as the spot to send the lander
named Phillae. 

Comet 67P is currently some 273million miles from Earth. The plan is still
to make the Phillae landing attempt on November 11th.   The area where ESA
hopes the Phillae probe will successfully set down is designated as landing
site J.  (ESA)

THAT FINAL ITEM:  NEW TECHNIQUE FOR INDUSTRIAL-SCALE GRAPHENE PRODUCTION

And finally this week, a Penn State University Research team has suggested a
new technique for industrial-scale production of single atom layers of
graphene.  This is one of the strongest materials ever developed as we hear
from Hal Rogers, K8CMD:

--

Graphene is pure carbon in the form of a very thin, nearly transparent
sheet, one atom thick.  It is remarkably strong for its very low weight and
is said to be many times stronger than steel.  It also conducts heat and
electricity with remarkable efficiency.  But until now, mass producing it had
eluded the scientific community.  

Recently the Penn State team developed a new way of separating graphene
sheets from graphite.  The scientists used a technique known as intercalation
to produce single atom sheets of graphene.  Using this method, guest
molecules or ions are inserted between the carbon layers of graphite.  Later,
the single atom layers can be pulled apart. 

Scientists suggest that graphene could be used in numerous ways.  These
include the design and manufacture of more efficient solar cells, improving
the form factor of electronic equipment and launching truly flexible
electronic equipment.

I'm Hal Rogers, K8CMD

A study of this new technology has been published in the on-line edition of
the Journal Nature Chemistry.  It can be found at
