Default Amateur Radio Newsline Report 1553 - May 18, 2007

Amateur Radio Newsline(tm) Report 1553 - May 18, 2007

Amateur Radio Newsline report number 1553 with a
release date of Friday, April May 18th, 2007 to follow in 5-4-3-2-1.

The following is a Q-S-T. Hamvention 2007 is
here and we have a preview. Also, the 500
Kilohertz experiment expands in Europe and a 19
year old radio amateur will head Delaware's newly
formed ham radio Communication Corps. Find out
the details on Amateur Radio Newsline(tm) report
number 1553 coming your way right now.

Hamvention 2007 is here and we are here too. The
doors at Dayton Ohio's Hara Arena opened on
Friday, May 18th, bringing with them a
celebration of the backbone of Amateur Radio:

--

Nies: "Our theme this year is "Local Radio Clubs,
The Heart Of Ham Radio." We are trying to
recognize that an awful lot of what goes on in
Amateur Radio happens because of the efforts of
the local clubs rather than any national, regional or statewide activity."



--

That's Jim Nies, WX8F, who is this year Dayton
Hamvention General Chairman. And in a recent
interview with the Radio amateur Information
Network, he expanded on some of the ways that the
role of clubs will be celebrated:

--

Nies: "We have a program in the Flea Market to
offer discounted spaces to clubs. We have some
banners inside recognizing the contribution that
local clubs make in terms of getting people
involved, Elmering. Just the kind of support that
local clubs do that brings members in and keep the whole thing going."

--

So what are the major changes this year? Most
appear to be in the area of forums:

--

Nies: "In terms of anything dramatically new, we
have some forums coming in. One of the things
with forums we are trying to do is to shorten
things up a little bit so we have room for more
topics. Software Defined Radio is an up and
coming technology and they're getting some
attention. They were there last year and will be again this year."

--

And will those attending see anything new in the way of radio gear?

--

Nies: "We never really know but we do believe
that several of the inside manufacturers are
going to be showing off some of their new
products this year. They never tell us. We
always ask but they tend to event to keep it
under wraps until the very last minute, but I
noticed in the latest QST that a couple of
different vendors are touting new equipment that
they are going to be showing at Hamvention, and
we are kind of excited about that."

--

And there was some good news this year about
parking. Even with all the construction at one
important lot, the parking remained:

--

Nies: "We will still have parking at the Salem
Mall, which is kind of an interesting
situation. The Salem Mall is under construction
and all of the stores except for a bank and the
Home Depot and Sears have been torn down. The
city of Trotwood is marketing it as a new kind of
a mall with the renovation. Meanwhile though,
the parking spaces are still available to us and
we will be bussing to there as we have done for the past years."

--

The Dayton Hamvention runs May 18th, 19th and
20th. Its truly a fun event but if you cannot be
there in person, you can take part vicariously
over the World Wide Web thanks to Tom Medlin,
WA5KUB. Tom will be webcasting many of the
Hamvention 2007 highlights. Look for the fun at
http://wa5kub.com. Meantime we hope to see some
of you at the Hara Arena and Hamvention
2007. (ARNewsline(tm) with audio provided by RAIN)

RADIO EXPERIMENTATION: 500 KHZ EXPERIMENTS EXPAND IN EUROPE

In other news, word that the German medium wave
radio experiment is expanding. Since the
beginning of 2005 the German telecommunication
authorities have licensed a propagation study on
medium wave bands. The first permit for an
experimental station on 440 kHz plus/minus 100 Hz
was issued to DJ2LF under the callsign
DI2AG. In May 2006, DK8KW got the second
license to operate under the callsign DI2BO at
his home location in Peine near Hannover.

Now comes word that early in 2007 the
experimental radio licenses were extended to a
second frequency. Besides 440 kHz the frequency
of 505.1 kHz plus or minus 100 Hz is also now
being used. This frequency falls into the
frequency range being used by the United States
experimental radio group with the callsign WD2XSH.

And this just in. Swedish authorities have
issued one license for this frequency range. (GB2RS News)

RESCUE RADIO: 2 RESCUED AT SEA THANKS TO AMATEUR RADIO

A long established ham radio network was
instrumental in a recent rescue at sea.

It took place South-West of the Galapagos Islands
starting on on Friday, May 4th. That's when Wes
Mullenix, KI0A, the Texas-based net controller on
Intercon intercepted a distress call from a
damaged 35 foot pleasure craft called the Sail
About. As KI0A did not have good a truly
readable signal from the emergency request, he
handed the communications over to Fletcher
Henderson, KA4BPR, in Dolthan, Alabama.

It was KA4BPR obtained the pertinent information
through a series of relays. He learned that
there were two people on board, that they were
named Gunner and Gretta, that they were from
Norway, that the boats bow was damaged and began
taking on water. With this information in hand,
KA4BPR then called the United States Coast Guard to report the situation.

Soon several vessels had set an intercept course
to rendezvous with the Sail About which was
slowly headed toward that point under motor
power. During that time, members of the Intercon
net kept in contact with Gunner and Gretta to
assure them that help was on its way.

It took several hours, but finally the Sail
About was spotted by the rescue ship S V
Damarri. Soon other vessels arrived. Gunnar and
Greta were rescued, transferred to M V Belnor and
the Sail About was, sadly, abandoned at sea. (W4QVA)

MORSE: NEW SUPPORT FOR A POPULAR OLD MODE

Morse may no longer be a licensing requirement in
most nations, but the mode is very much alive and
well. In fact its gaining favor with more and
more hams as witnessed by the large number of
clubs that are springing to life dedicated to
preserving that very basic mode. The latest of
these is the Pro C-W Club based in Romania.

The Pro C-W Club is the brain child of Vasile
Giurgiu, YO6EX. The organization is dedicated to
the preservation and encouragement of the art of
CW communications. There are two classes of
membership and hams the world over are welcome to join.

No website yet but more information and the dues
structure is available from Vasile Giurgiu,
YO6EX, SIBIU-1, RO-550450, Romania. (YO6EX)

PUBLIC SERVICE: HAM RADIO AND THE MINI MARATHON

May in Indianapolis is always a busy time for
Central Indiana amateur radio operators. As
drivers prepared for the 91st running of the
Indianapolis 500 Mile Race, local runners and
amateur radio operators took to the streets of
Indianapolis to set the pace during the annual
Mini-Marathon. Jack Parker W8ISH was at the finish line and filed this
report

--

--

Nat Sound: :N9NIC net control for the Mini-Marathon."

--

Central Indiana hams hit the ground running for
the 32nd annual 500 Festival
Mini-Marathon. This year over 100 hams provided
health and welfare communications around the 13
point one mile marathon. And, that's no easy task.

Thirty-five thousand runners and walkers
crossed the downtown starting line on their trek
out to, and around the famed two and one half
mile oval at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway. After a slow trip around the track
they headed to the finish line back downtown.

--

Nat Sound: "I need a medical transport at mile marker nine for a diabetic."

--

That much foot traffic kept the amateur radio
operators on their toes during the seven hour
event. Warm morning temperatures and high
humidity took its toll on the runners. According
Net coordinator Mike Palmer, N9FEB, hams posted
the yellow warning flag midway through the event
as runners began to fall by the wayside. Thirty
participants were taken to the hospital for
treatment. Amateur radio operators tracked each
patient and all other runners that failed to make it to the finish line.

Reporting from Indianapolis, this is Jack
Parker, W8ISH for Amateur Radio Newsline.

--

The Amateur radio net had six controllers
utilizing local repeaters and several simplex
frequencies to handle all the health and welfare
traffic. As usual the ham radio operators
finished in first place for a job well done. (W8ISH)

RESCUE RADIO: TEEN HAM HEADS UP DELAWARE COMMUNICATIONS CORPS

Delaware's new Communication Corps coordinator is
a 19-year-old college student and ham radio
operator. He also has more experience in
emergency communications than many radio amateurs
twice or three times his age.

The Delaware Emergency Management Agency has
chosen Justin Kates, KB3JUV, to head its newly
formed Communication Corps. Managers say that
Kates, who is a University of Delaware freshman,,
will coordinate Amateur Radio operators across
the state in the event of a terrorist attack,
natural disaster or other emergency.

Kates is believed to be the youngest person in
the nation to hold this level of responsibility
in an emergency response organization. The
Delaware Communication Corps program is funded
by a Department of Homeland Security grant.

More about Justin Kates, KB3JUV, and the role he
is playing in Delaware's emergency preparedness
is on-line at http://kb3juv.blogspot.com/2007/05/nineteen.html (eHam,

RESCUE RADIO: CALIFORNIA CITY GETS HAM RADIO EMCOMM GRANT

San Rafael, California has received a $23,000
grant for ham radio operations to help coordinate
an emergency response during times of
disaster. San Rafael received the grant to
establish an amateur radio network that will
swing into action if phone and radio communications fail.

The Marin Independent Journal reports that three
other Bay Area organizations received funds
from California Volunteers as well. This is a
state-run organization meant to get civilians trained in emergency response.

The organizations director is Karen Baker. She
says that these grants will help assist local
communities and nonprofit organizations to better
prepare Californians for the next disaster. A
total of $1 million was handed out across the
state. No specific radio clubs or groups were
named in the California Volunteers press
release. (Marin Independent Journal On-Line)

RESCUE RADIO: ON-STAR ADVANCED SAFETY

General Motors has announced that its OnStar
remote vehicle monitoring technology will be
partnered with the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. This, to use data from vehicle
crashes to tell paramedics and doctors how badly passengers might be hurt.

On the vehicle, the OnStar sensors will measure
the severity of a crash, where the vehicle was
struck, if airbags deployed and whether the
vehicle has rolled over. Experts will then review
the crash data radioed back from OnStar's
Advanced Automatic Crash Notification technology
and notify first response authorities.

Researchers say that this data could help to save
lives by helping first responders get to people
who are more seriously injured than they seem and
then send them to the nearest trauma
center.

The partnership between OnStar and the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention is funded by a
$250,000 grant from OnStar and the General Motors Foundation. (GM, CDC)

ENFORCEMENT: STATION DINGED $15000 FOR PHONE REBROADCAST

A licensed broadcaster has been dinged for $15000
by the FCC. WMGO Broadcasting Corp., Inc. which
operates WMGO A-M radio in Canton, Mississippi
received the fine for recording a telephone
conversation and later broadcasting it without
first informing the party on the phone of its
intention to do so. Amateur Radio Newsline's Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, reports:

--

According to the FCC, Luke Gordon filed a
complaint alleging that on January 6, 2005, the
station recorded a telephone conversation between
him and newsman Jerry Lousteau without notifying
him of Lousteaus' intention to do so. Gordon
further charged that the WMGO later broadcast
excerpts of the recorded telephone conversation
on January 7th, 10th, and 11th, 2005.

In its defense, the station responded that
Lousteau initiated a phone call to the Gordon to
interview him. WMGO claims that Lousteau was
unsuccessful in contacting the Gordon so there
was no need and no opportunity to inform him, in
person, of the station's intentions to record
and/or broadcast the conversation.

Shortly after the Commission received the
stations response, Gordon provided the agency
with a recording that contained a portion of the
telephone conversation that was aired by
WMGO. In light of this development, the FCC
issued a follow-up letter to the radio
station. It directed WMGO to confirm the
authenticity of the content of the recording, and
to identify the persons whose voices are heard on
the tape. The FCC also instructed the WMGO to
review its initial response and make any
revisions that it believed were necessary.

In responding, WMGO confirmed the authenticity of
the audio recording and identified the two
speakers as Lousteau and Gordon. WMGO did not
affirmatively respond to the Commission's
question as to whether the station had informed
the Gordon of its intention to record and/or
broadcast the telephone conversation. Instead
WMGO stated that because Gordon had participated
in previous telephone interviews that were
recorded and subsequently broadcast by the
station. Therefore it could only surmise that
Gordon has always been aware of the taping for broadcast.

But the FCC says that's not good enough. It says
that the purpose of Section 73.1206 of its rules
is to protect the legitimate expectation of
privacy in connection with the broadcast use of
telephone conversations. It says that when Gordon
returned the phone call to WMGO that same day
that the station had a legal obligation to inform
him that it intended to record and rebroadcast
the conversation but failed to do so. And that
says the FCC warrants the imposition of a $15,000
fine which WMGO Broadcasting has been ordered to pay.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, in Los Angeles.

WMGO Broadcasting was given the usual time to pay
the fine or to fine an appeal. (FCC)

RADIO LAW: CONGRESS MAY ACT TO SAVE INTERNET BROADCASTING

A bill introduced in Congress ton Friday, April
27th, could be the savior for so-called Internet
radio station. Called the Internet Radio
Equality Act, the measure would nullify the new
rates set by the Copyright Royalty Board which
advocates say would put webcasters out of business.

The bi-partisan Internet Radio Equality Act
legislation was introduced by Washington Democrat
Jay Inslee and Republican representative Don
Manzullo of Illinois. Its purpose is to curtail
the imposition of a highly controversial March 2
decision which forces royalty payments of a .08
cents per song per listener, retroactively from 2006

Web radio advocates have condemned the Copyright
Royalty Board ruling. They say that it could
raise rates between 300 to 1200 per cent for
webcasters and effectively ending the
transmission of musical entertainment over the
World-Wide-Web. The Copyright Royalty Board
defends its decision stating that artists are
entitled to a fair share of the profits from the
music that they have created.

If passed, Internet Radio Equality Act would set
new rates at 7.5 per cent of the webcaster's
revenue. That's the same rate paid by satellite
radio broadcasters. Alternatively, webcasters
could decide to pay 33 cents per hour of sound
recordings transmitted to a single user. The
bill would also reset royalty rules for
non-profit radio such as National Public
Radio. Such government funded radio operations
would be required present a report to Congress on
how it should determine rates for their internet
streaming media. (Published reports)

NAMES IN THE NEWS: CONGRATS TO LARRY KING - 50 YEARS ON THE AIR

CNN personality Larry King is not a ham, but he
has been on the air a lot longer than most radio
amateurs have been licensed. And this year the
master interviewer celebrates his 50th anniversary as a broadcaster.

The Brooklyn, New York born King began his
broadcasting career in 1957 after changing from
his surname from Zeiger. His first job was as a
disc jockey at Miami's WAHR-AM. The next year, he
began a show originating live from a local
restaurant, where he interviewed whatever folks
as they happened by. Now age 73, King joined CNN
back in 1985 and has been interviewing the famous and not so famous ever
since.

As an aside, King and our producer Bill
Pasternak, WA6ITF, have two things in
common. Not only are they both from Bensonhurst,
Brooklyn. Both also attended Lafayette High
School though King had graduated a few years before Bill arrived.

Kings career has already spanned half a
century. We at Amateur Radio Newsline wish him
many more years of success yet to come. (Published reports)

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: ERROR RATES HIGHER WITH
FEMALES USING VOICE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE

Science Daily reports that there is a
significantly higher rate of transcription error
in women compared to men when using commercial voice recognition
applications.

According to a recent study ten radiology
residents, five male and five female, were each
trained on a commercial speech recognition
application. Each was then asked to dictate a
standardized set of ten radiology reports containing a total of 2,123 words.

The generated reports were then compared with the
original reports and error rates were
calculated. The error rate was defined as the
sum of the number of word insertions and
deletions divided by the total word count for a
given report. The results showed error rates in
the male population ranged from 0.025 to 0.139
while the error rates in the females ranged from
0.015 to 0.206. (Science Daily)

WORLDBEAT - SOUTH AFRICA: CALLBOOK BY APRS

The South African Radio League reports that Dick
Stratford, ZS6RO, has set-up a server on APRS
which can be used to obtain callbook information
from anywhere in the APRS international network.

It works this way. When querying a local South
African callsign, the South African Radio League
database is used. When a D-X callsign is queried
via APRS, the QRZ.COM database is used in
real-time. The same databases are used when
querying from the packet radio network.

APRS, the acronym for Automatic Position
Reporting System, was developed by Bob Bruninga,
WB4APR. The system uses amateur radio to
transmit position reports, weather reports, and messages between users.

THAR FINAL ITEM: THE HILLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF PROTEINS

And finally this week, word that biologists have
converted protein sequences into another form of
communications. Classical music. This they say
is an attempt to help vision-impaired scientists
and boost the popularity of genomic biology.

New research published in the open access journal
Genome Biology describes how researchers have
found a way to present human proteins as musical
notes. Doctors Rie Takahashi and Jeffrey H.
Miller from the University of California, Los
Angeles, USA, have so far transcribed segments of
two human proteins into music. But to make their
melodies more pleasing on the ear, they had first
to overcome a few problems -- how to incorporate
rhythm, and how to cram the 20 standard amino acids into just 13 notes.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
The two researchers focused on codons which are
sets of three adjacent bases that code for
particular amino acids. They decided to include
four different note durations with codons that
appear more frequently transcribed into longer
notes than those which appear less often.
Individual amino acids are expressed as chords,
in which similar amino acids are paired. For
example, the amino acids tyrosine and
phenylalanine are both assigned a G major chord,
but they can be distinguished because the notes
in the chord are arranged differently. This means
the resulting music has a 20 note range spanning
over 2 octaves, but with just 13 base notes.

The team find their music more melodic and less
'jumpy' than previous attempts, which have
focused on DNA sequences and protein folding,
and hence closer to the musical depth of popular
compositions. They are currently piloting a
computer program, written by a collaborator Frank
Pettit, which uses their translation rules to
convert amino acids into music and hope it will
speed up the translation of large segments of
genomes. (BioMed Central via Science OnLine)

NEWSCAST CLOSE

With thanks to Alan Labs, AMSAT, the ARRL, the
CGC Communicator, CQ Magazine, the FCC, the Ohio
Penn DX Bulletin, Radio Netherlands, Rain, the
RSGB, the Southgate News and Australia's W-I-A
News, that's all from the Amateur Radio
Newsline(tm). Our e-mail address is
. More information is

official website located at
www.arnewsline.org. You can also write to us or
support us at Amateur Radio Newsline(tm), P.O. Box
660937, Arcadia, California 91066.

Two reminders before we go. First we have a new
poll for the month of May. This one asks the
question now that the Morse exam is part of ham
radio history, do you plan to upgrade or remain
the license class you are right now. Of coarse
this is unfair to Extra class licensees because
they cannot go any higher so this poll kind of
leaves them out in the cold. To compensate, we
added a third possible answer, but you will have
to go to our website at www.arnewsline.org to see what it is.

Also, the nominating season for this years
Amateur Radio Newsline Young Ham of the Year
Award closes on May 30th. That's less than 2
weeks away. Any nominations received after that
date will not qualify for this years award program.

The Young Ham of the Year Award is open to any
radio amateur age 18 or younger residing in all
50 United States, plus Puerto Rico and all 13
Canadian Provinces can qualify. Full details and
nominating forms are on our special website at
www,yhoty.org. Also see the Vertex-Standard
sponsored ad on page 8 of the March issue of QST Magazine.


For now, with Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, at the
editors desk, I'm Don Wilbanks, AE5DW, saying 73
and we thank you for listening.
