RESTRUCTURING: NAVY-USMC MARS LIKELY TO GO QRT

The days of Navy and Marine Corps MARS may be fast coming to an end.
This, according to a directive released by the commander of the Naval
Network Welfare Command. One that says that this branch of the
Military Affiliate Radio Services will terminate all operations at the
end of this summer. Amateur Radio Newsline's Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, has
the details:

--

According to the May 16th directive, the commander of the Naval Network
Welfare Command has decided to sunset the Navy's MARS mission effective
September 30th. Sunset in this case means to terminate and disband.
As a result, the Naval Network Welfare Command has requested that all
military and civilian positions be deleted and left un-funded after
that date.

Navy and Marine MARS is a joint operation. One of the consequence of
this decision is that all Navy MARS Area Directors have been ordered to
close their offices no later than the September 30th deadline. The
directive also says that none of the equipment located at Area Director
Stations can be transferred to Navy MARS members. It can however be
given over to other official Navy organizations to help start or equip
military recreation stations. However, approval for this will be on a
case by case basis.

And what about all the radio gear out there in the hands of MARS
members? Also, the equipment that may have been disposed of over the
years by the families of Silent Key Navy MARS operators? Will the Navy
be seeking its return? As we go to air, nobody we have contacted seems
to have any answers to these and other questions related to the
imminent termination of U-S Navy MARS.

There is one caveat. As you are likely aware, all three MARS services
operate under the mandate of the Department of Defense and that mandate
is still valid. While the Army and Air Force have stated their desire
to continue their respective MARS programs, only the Navy has requested
to opt out. For that to happen requires approval up the Department of
Defense chain of command. If that permission is not given the Navy
says that its MARS program will continue, but without any Area
Directors.

More on this as we get it. For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bruce
Tennant, K6PZW, in Los Angeles.

According to Wikipedia dot com, the organization that led to the
Military Affiliate Radio System was first called the Army Amateur Radio
System or A-A-R-S. It was created in November 1925 by a few dedicated
pioneers in the United States Army Signal Corps led by Captain Thomas
C. Rives. His original intent was to enlist the talents of volunteer
amateur radio operators as a ready source who could train soldiers in
the then new technology of radio, as well as pursuing radio research
and development to improve radio equipment within the Army. This
support would be particularly useful during the mobilization of forces
by providing a pool of already trained radio operators. Their efforts
were very successful, and the present-day MARS program is the direct
descendant of the work of those early pioneers. (K1AA, KZ1Z, others)

RESCUE RADIO: PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYS TO BE PREPARED

United States President Barack Obama has urged residents of hurricane
inclined areas to take responsibility for their own safety and start
planning now.

Following a recent disaster preparedness briefing at the Federal
Emergency Management Agency the president said that individuals should
be ready with a supply of nonperishable food, water and first aid kits.
This, to wait out any emergency that might hit their area. The leader
of the free world added that it is also essential to have at least one
waterproof radio that will work in the rain.

At his press briefing the president noted that it is state governments
have the primary responsibility for preparing for and responding to
disasters. But he added that all the resources of the federal
government are there to back them up. (Published news reports)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: 28 TO 24 MHz HAMSAT PROPOSED

A satellite with a 29 to 24 MHz linear transponder is being proposed by
the ham who brought the world A-P-R-S. Bob Bruninga, WB4APR,, who
helped in the development of a number of successful amateur radio
satellites has floated a proposal for a satellite with the odd
combination of frequencies for the on-orbit linear transponder.

In an e-mail to the AMSAT Bulletin Board WB4APR says that consideration
is being given to a an HF transponder for the next long range CUBESAT
mission planning. It can have three modes, These are APRS at 1200
baud for command and control and APRS on 145.825; a PSK-31 multi-user
SSB uplink on 29 MHz and FM down link on 145.825 and lastly the already
mentioned 29 MHz uplink and 24 MHz downlink SSB transponder

Bruninga adds that they are looking for someone in the AMSAT community
that wants to contribute to the HF transponder design. (WB4APR)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: CIRQUE DU SOLEIL FOUNDER TO VISIT ISS

The British Broadcasting Company reports that the founder of the
performance group Cirque du Soleil will visit the International Space
Station in September. According to the news service, 49 year old Guy
Laliberte will travel to the International Space Station on a Russian
Soyuz transport vehicle.

Laliberte trip to the International Space Station is estimated to cost
at least $25 million dollars. The Quebec-based billionaire will become
the seventh private citizen to visit the orbital outpost since April
2001. No word yet if he plans to obtain an amateur licensee and
operate from space as all past space adventurers have.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: THE ANSWER IS BLOWEN IN THE WIND

The UK telecommunications regulator Ofcom has published a report
dealing with the effects of interference caused by power generating
Wind Farms turbines. This, to Ultra High Frequency and Super High
Frequency communications.

The report was prepared by ERA Technology Ltd and Aegis Systems Ltd.
It describes a technical study in which a series of measurements were
carried out with regard to the presence of wind turbines near to
wireless services.

Some of their findings include the fact that a single turbine can
produce measured fades as large as 3 dB for UHF scanning telemetry
links and 2 dB for fixed links operating between 1.5 and 18 GHz. This,
when the turbine is lying on the transmitter-receiver path. Also
established is that a wind farm with seventeen turbines can produce
measured fades as large as 10 to 15 dB for 1% of the time when the wind
farm is lying on the transmitter-receiver path.

The purpose of the study was to enhance understanding of the effects of
wind turbines near to wireless Services. The full text of this
propagation study and report in PDF Format is available at

ENFORCEMENT: FCC T-HUNTS DOWN SHOPPING MALL RADIO SYSTEM JAMMER

Every once in a while, the FCC hits a home run with outstanding
direction finding work leading to an important find. The case of
Kevin Bondy, the licensee of station WQGX752 who now faces a $24,000
fine is one of those. Amateur Radio Newsline's Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF,
has the rest of the story:

--

According to the CGC communicator, the case involves a dedicated and
industrious jammer causing willful and repeated interference to the
radio channels licensed to The Oaks Shopping Center in Thousand Oaks,
California . Its also the story of an even more dedicated FCC agent
determined to get his man and the FCC release has the full story.

Thousand Oaks is an affluent suburb about 45 miles West of downtown Los
Angeles. And it was there the FCC alleges that Kevin Bondy tried to
force a local shopping center off of its two-way radio channels for
reasons not yet fully understood.

The story goes back to this past February 25th. That's when the Los
Angeles FCC Office received a complaint from the security manager for
The Oaks Shopping Center. He told the FCC that the malls
communications systems 461.375, 462.525, 467.525 and 466.375 MHz were
being jammed.

The next day an agent from the Enforcement Bureau's Los Angeles Office
contacted the security manager. The security manager also told the
agent that the rather brazen jammer had told shopping center to stop
using 461.375MHz which is the security repeater input frequency.

On March 5th the Los Angeles agent T-hunted down the source of
pulsating signals on the 461.375 and 466.375 MHz channel pair. It was
found to be a repeater located within a secured radio communications
facility on Oat Mountain. That's a 3000 foot hilltop in the Santa
Susana Mountains that 's very popular with two-way radio users.

While atop Oat Mountain the agent observed radio equipment which he
found was the source of the pulsating signals and a beam antenna
connected to it pointed in the direction of Thousand Oaks. There
seemed no doubt that this set-up was intended to interfere with normal
transmissions on the shopping centers frequencies,.

Fast forward to March 6th. The FCC agent was monitoring the 461.375
and 466.375 MHz channel pair in the vicinity of shopping center and
again observed pulsating signals. Later that day, in consultation with
personnel from The Oaks and the Ventura County Sheriff's Department,
the Los Angeles agent came up with a plan to locate the person who
source of the transmissions.

Personnel from the shopping center engaged unknown operator into a QSO.
The FCC agent had instructed shopping center personnel to keep the
subject talking for as long as possible so that he could a fix of the
transmissions. They did, and it was during that contact that the
jammer told the shopping center personnel that they had "plenty of
warning" to vacate the frequencies as he demanded. The jammer then
effectively shut down all operations on The Oaks radio systems by
transmitting NOAA weather radio over every channel. The jamming
station then reportedly said that he would gave The Oaks three weeks
to vacate the frequencies. If the center refused, he told them that
there would be more jamming to come. He also told the centers
personnel that the reason for the jamming was -- and we quote: "we need
the channel."

Meantime, the agent was hard at work T-Hunting and at approximately
7:30 p.m., he hit pay-dirt. This, when he found the originating
source of the transmissions to be a vehicle located in the National
Park Service parking structure across the street from the shopping
center.

At this point the Ventura County Sheriff's Department secured the area
and identified the subject as Kevin W. Bondy. The Los Angeles FCC agent
identified himself to Bondy and asked to inspect the radio equipment in
his vehicle. Bondy first refused, then agreed and then refused again.
The agent explained that a refusal to allow an inspection could result
in a fine. Bondy's refusal was witnessed by Ventura County Sheriff's
Department deputies.

On March 9, 2009, the FCC agent revisited the radio communications
facility on Oat Mountain. At that time he observed that the beam
antenna had been removed and the interference to The Oaks radio systems
had ceased.

And now it has literally become time for Bondy to pay the proverbial
piper. In its May 14th Notice of Apparent Liability issued to Bondy,
the FCC says that his violations of the Communications Act warrant his
being fined $24,000.

Bondy was given the usual 30 days to pay up or to file an appeal.
Meantime, the Oaks shopping Center has been interference free thanks to
the work of an unknown but very dedicated FCC agent.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, in the
newsroom in Los Angeles.

--

The penalties faced by Bondy might not end with just a proposed fine.
The FCC can challenge the renewal of his licensee of station WQGX752 or
any other FCC issued license he might hold. It could even order a
license revocation hearing at an earlier date. The full FCC document
is on-line at
http://www.fcc.gov/eb/FieldNotices/2...-290813A1.html) (CGC, FCC)

RESCUE RADIO: HELPING THOSE WHO REALLY NEED IT

"Helping Those Who Really Need It" is the title of an interesting
article in the June issue of CQ Magazine dealing with the changing
landscape of amateur radio emergency communications. Authored by
former police and fire chief Jerry Boyd. N7WR, the article explains the
way in which non government organizations such as hospitals, bus
systems, schools and independent municipal agencies may be the new
clients that will be looking to ham radio for assistance in coming
days. Boyd points to the California-based Hospital Disaster Support
Communications Service as an excellent example of a ham radio support
group that serves a specific need. You can read the entire article
beginning on page 52 of the June issue of CQ Magazine. Its on
newsstands right now. (ARNewsline(tm))

HAM HOLIDAYS: KIDS DAY 2009 - JUNE 20

The second Kids Day operating event of 2009 takes place on Saturday,
June 20th. This, from 1800 to 2400 UTC.

According to the ARRL, Kids Day is an on-air event to encourage young
people who may or may not yet be licensed to have fun with Amateur
Radio. For those who do not hold a set of call letters, it's a chance
to give them a bit of on-the-air experience and hopefully foster
interest in getting a license of their own.

Kids Day also has an important adult purpose as well. For them, it's a
chance for older hams to share their station and love for Amateur Radio
with children in their area.

During Kids Day you simply open your heart and your ham station to the
kids in your neighborhood and operate as much or as little as you like.
All participants are eligible to receive a colorful certificate. More
info can be found at http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/kids

RADIO BUSINESS: OEM SUPPLIERS FEELING ECONOMIC PINCH

A shake-out is brewing among the world's top original equipment
manufacturers. These are the folks known as O-E-M's that anonymously
to make the latest cellphones, MP-3 players and even many two-way
radios for big names such as Nokia, Sony, Dell, Apple and many others.

Sub-contract manufacturers produce much of the world's electronics,
with collective revenue of $306 billion in 2008. But as growth dips
into single-digits this year due to the worlds economic recession, and
companies such as Celestica, Sanmina and Elcoteq are seeing their
revenues drop as consumer stop buying and the companies they supply
cutback on orders for new merchandise. This in turn can lead to
consolidation among some of the top of these OEM manufacturers as the
economy worsens and the publics desire for new electronic products
continues to erode. (OEM Electronics News)

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: AUSTRALIAN DIGITAL ATV FOLLOW-UP

A follow-up to our recent story about the Australian Amateur Television
repeater that's converting to digital operation. Late word is that a
June 7th test transmission made by the VE3RTV machine from a hilltop
east of Melbourne went exceedingly well.

Reportedly, more than a half dozen V-K hams in and around the Melbourne
area received the repeater signal totally noise free. The test
transmitter used commercial quality DVT-B standard digital television
boards made in Germany. Receivers were commonly used domestic
Australian DTV-B converter boxes that were re-tuned to 446.5 MHz A-T-V
frequency.

THAT FINAL ITEM: CLIQUE TO TEXTING USING MORSE

And finally this week, texting addicts will soon have a new plaything,
but will need to learn C-W to use it. This, as Toshiba teams up with
microprocessor manufacturer Intel to produce Clique. This is described
as a handheld, thumb-operated communications device that uses only
three keys produce Morse code for sending text messages.

A Toshiba spokesperson says that Morse was chosen as the communications
medium because it is an easily learned and is ideally suited to the
single-digit platform. She explained that the Morse code has been in
use for more than 160 years which longer than any other electronic
encoding system.

Earlier attempts to create a Morse-based texting device were stymied by
the variable length of the Morse characters which made it hard to adapt
to automated text conversion circuits. Toshiba's solution is the three
keys. One is used for dots, another for dashes and the third that acts
as a space-bar between letters. One tap separates letters while two
taps go between words.

First released in Japan at the 2008 Microprocessor Forum, the Clique is
the size and shape of a lollipop with the handle acting as a miniature
joystick. Its reception in Japan has been described as fast and
furious as early adopters added ‘Clique' to their armory of hand-held
communications devices.

The Clique is not yet available in the United States but more about it
is on-line at http://mhpbooks.com/mobylives/?pe35 (KZ1Z)
