RADIO LAW: HAWAII HAMS ASKED TO SUPPORT MOBILE CELL LAW THAT EXEMPTS
AMATEUR RADIO

Hams in Hawaii are being urged to support a state measure that while
banning the use of hand held cellular phones does exempt hams and other
users of mobile two-way radios. This, according to Ron Hashiro, AH6RH,
who tells Newsline that support from the ham in the street is crucial
to its passage:

--

AH6RH: The State Legislature in Hawaii has submitted House Bill Number
2225 that mirrors the cellphone bill that is active in Oahu. It is vital
that all hams in Hawaii take the time now to write or e-mail their state
representatives to support amateur radio in this bill.

"Also, they should take the time to submit testimony to the House Committee
on Transportation. As of yet there is no hearing date set, but as soon as
that takes place I'm sure that the amateurs will make support their right
to operate their radios while mobile."


--

Hashiro says that with a strong showing of support from the Hawaiian ham
radio community that this bill has a good chance to become law:

--

AH6RH: "I'm pretty sure that we can continue the exemption for amateur
radio because of the hard work that was done on Oahu and (both) the
testimony and the impact of amateur radio during Hurricane Iniki, during
the earthquake of 2006 and even during a recent island-wide generator power
outage. Once again the community has seen the value of amateur radio and
this is something that the council members have recognized."

--

According to AH6RH, this bill, if passed into State law, will override the
ordinances and bills at county levels. Hams in Hawaii and those around the
world interested in keeping track of this pending legislation can follow

RESCUE RADIO: HAITI HF EMCOMMS WINDING DOWN

Long distance amateur radio communications into and out of quake-ravaged
Haiti is quickly disappearing as we hear from Amateur Radio Newsline's
Bruce Tennant, K6PZW:

--

As the recovery in Haiti continues, the need for international ham radio
communications on the High Frequency bands is winding down. In the weeks
since the quake, Haitian telecommunications personnel and international
relief workers have been doing all they can to rebuild communications into
and out of that nation.

International telecommunications companies have brought in portable
cellular telephone nodes and numerous transportable satellite ground
stations. And according to news reports here in the United States, at
least one geosynchronous communications satellite has been repositioned as
a dedicated international communications link to and from Haiti to carry
telephone, data and video. Because of this an all clear has been issued
for almost all the frequencies on 75, 40 and 20 meters that had been in use
during the initial phase of the post earthquake recovery effort.

According to a news release from the International Amateur Radio Union
Region 1, as of 1800 UTC on January 22nd, the frequencies of 14.300,
14.265, 7.045, 7.065, 7.265, 3.720 and 3.977MHz were returned to normal
use. Also, and the groups who have been passing messages on those
frequencies were to revert to monitoring mode or to their normal operations.

And a similar release comes from Dr. Cesar Pio Santos, HR2P. Santos is the
IARU Region 2 Emergency Coordinator and his statement announced the release
of several H-F frequencies including 7.045 and 3.720 MHz for normal use.

That said, the IARU wants to remind hams worldwide that there are still a
number of radio amateurs in the Haiti who are attached to various relief
groups. These hams may still be heard on the amateur bands on a number of
frequencies according to their particular needs and to maintain contact
with their home countries. The IARU asks that you listen before
transmitting on frequencies known to handle Haiti relief traffic.

Giving priority to earthquake relief communications is expected of all of
us. (ARNewsline(tm), ARRL, Others)

RESCUE RADIO: HAITI HAM RADIO EMCOMM EMPHASIS NOW GOES VHF

While the requirement for log distance high frequency ham radio
communications to and from Haiti is quickly coming to an end, the need to
expand lines of communications within that nation are ever
increasing. Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, is in the newsroom with this part of
the story:

--

While both cellphones and text messaging nodes are being installed in Haiti
as fast as humanly possible, these are primarily being used for
international communications by aid workers. And with Haiti's in country
communications infrastructure years from full reconstruction, ham radio on
2 meter FM is quickly becoming a primary communications lifeline for relief
operations.

As reported last week, hams from the Dominican Republic risked their lives
trying to restore ham radio communications in Port au Prince. They had to
retreat but were able to set up several repeaters near the Dominican
Republic's border with Haiti that when linked give coverage of the entire
Haitian nation. These machines were quickly pressed into service by the
Red Cross and likely other relief agencies.

Also, a D-Star repeater was supposed to be on its way to Port Au Prince,
but at airtime its not known if the group that was supposed to deliver and
install it has yet arrived.

But more communications channels across Haiti are still needed. To help in
this area, on Friday, January 22, the American Radio Relay League sent a
programmed Yaesu VHF repeater with a microphone, as well as ICOM handheld
transceivers, Yaesu mobile 2 meter rigs with power supplies and Kenwood
mobile 2 meter rigs down to Haiti via the Dominican Republic's national ham
radio society. The supplies shipped also included Comet antennas, Larsen
mobile antennas with magnet mounts, coax and batteries. All of these items
were from the ARRL's Ham Aid program. This gear had been donated by their
respective manufacturers out of concern for the situation in Haiti.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF.

--

The gear was sent to the Radio Club Dominicano via its president for
distribution most likely because it is still impossible to know the level
of survival of hams within Haiti or their ability to provide in country
emergency communications services to that quake ravaged nation. One thing
that is desperately needed by the Radio Club Dominicano is funding to
purchase a generator to power the repeaters. If you can help in this,
please contact Allen Pitts, W1AGP, at ARRL Headquarters. The phone number
is 860-594-0200 and his e-mail is W1AGP at ARRL dot org. (ARNewsline(tm),

RESCUE RADIO: OBTAINING PERMISSION TO OPERATE IN HAITI

And be it on H-F or VHF, amateurs wishing to operate in Haiti to assist
with disaster relief will need to contact that nations telecommunications
regulator to get formal reciprocal operating clearance. Don Wilbanks,
AE5DW, reports:

--

If you are a ham who has been asked to come to Haiti to operate on behalf
of earthquake relief operations, you will need to get a temporary
reciprocal operating permit from the Haitian government. To accomplish
this, CONATEL which is an acronym for Haiti's National Council of
Telecommunications has set up temporary offices and now has phone and
e-mail service available. This, to clear those who may respond to the need
for communications volunteers.

In a press release, CONATEL says that it has set up a satellite office of
at Number 97 of the Avenue Panaméricaine in Pétion-Ville with the goal
of
assuring the continuity of its work. This arrangement says the agency will
allow, among other things, better coordination for establishing a temporary
emergency telecommunications network in Haiti.

Anyone who needs to operate radio equipment in Haiti is asked to contact
CONATEL at its temporary address or by phone throughout the day. This by
dialing international calling code 011, then the Haitian country code 509
followed either by 3454-0541, 2516-0000 or 3702-1414. CONATEL can also be
reached by e-mail to or .

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Don Wilbanks, AE5DW, near New Orleans.

--

No matter how you contact CONATEL it is imperative to do so before any use
of telecommunications equipment or the spectrum resources in Haiti. This,
the agency says is to avoid interference problems and possible conflicts
between the incumbent operators established in Haiti and those who are
newly operating in what CONATEL calls an unusual
circumstance. (ARNewsline(tm), ARRL, Others)

HAM RADIO POLITICS: ARRL BOARD OF DIRECTORS LOOKS AT EMCOMM AND OTHER
ISSUES

The ARRL Board of Directors held its 2010 Annual Meeting on January 15th
and 16th in Windsor, Connecticut with emergency communications front and
center on the agenda. Amateur Radio's Mark Abramowicz, NT3V, takes a look
at what was accomplished:

--

Three major steps taken by the board on the topic surround the appointment
of an advisory committee; signing a memorandum of understanding with the
American Red Cross; and proposing a revision in the federal regulations
related to amateurs and participation in emergency communications drills on
behalf of an employer.

After rejecting the idea of an advisory board at it's meeting last July,
the board did an about face and appointed just such a committee.

It's expected that the Emergency Communications Advisory Committee will
play a large role in helping to shape ARRL board policy on a primary
mission of the amateur radio service - being prepared to respond in times
of emergency or disaster both here and abroad.

The second step, signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the American
Red Cross - appears to resolve the thorny issue of criminal background
checks required by the organization for all volunteers.

Several amateur radio volunteers expressed concern that the contractor
hired by the Red Cross to do such background checks had far too much
latitude in the kind of information it could gather - including credit
reports and other personal information.

The M-O-U now gives Amateur Radio Emergency Service volunteers permission
to obtain and pay for their own criminal background check from a law
enforcement agency rather than submitting to the scrutiny of the Red Cross'
private contractor.

The agreement also requires the Red Cross to give ARRL members this
information to give them an opportunity to make an informed decision as to
whether they want to volunteer with the Red Cross.

Finally, the board directed ARRL staff to petition for a change in Section
97.113(a)(3) of the FCC rules related to amateurs taking part in emergency
preparedness or disaster drills.

It wants to give radio amateurs the ability, on behalf of an employer, to
take part in such activities.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Mark Abramowicz, NT3V, in Philadelphia.

--

The complete Minutes of the 2010 Annual Meeting of the ARRL Board of
Directors will be available soon on the ARRL Website. That's in
cyberspace
at
www.arrl.org. The next meeting of the ARRL Board of Directors is
scheduled for July 16th and 17th. (ARNewsline(tm) from ARRL release)

RESCUE RADIO: FCC GRANTS ANOTHER 97:113 EMCOMM WAIVER REQUEST

The FCC has granted a yet another request for a waiver of Section 97.113 of
its rules. This from the Grundy County Emergency Management Agency in
Morris, Illinois to use the services of four ham radio operators in its
employ to take an active part in several upcoming emergency preparedness
drills.

In granting the waiver the FCC specifically stated that it would permit Jim
Lutz, N9UCP; Joe Schroeder, KC9JYZ; Chris Kindelspire, KC9GCK; and John
Watters, KC9KKO to take part in these exercises slated for March 24th and
July 28th at various locations in Grundy County. In granting the request
the FCC noted that while Section 97.113(a)(3) of its rules normally
prohibit hams in an agency's employ to take part, it granting the waiver
request as being appropriate under the circumstances presented in the
Grundy County Emergency Management Agency's filing. You can read the
entire text of the waiver grant at

RESCUE RADIO: ALABAMA HAMS SAY THAT THEY SAVE THE COUNTY THOUSADS OF
DOLLARS

According to a January 20th report in the Athens Alabama News Courier, ham
radio operators have saved the county over a hundred thousand
dollars. This, through their volunteer emergency communications expertise.

The article quotes Joe Ivey, W4JSI of the Limestone Amateur Radio Emergency
Service as telling the County Commission that his organization contributed
$136,625.47 in services to the community in the last calendar year. Ivey
said that this tops the previous year donated service value by $8,000.

Ivey noted that what the club does is at no cost to anyone. He added that
local hams perform communication for organizations from the Emergency
Management Agency to the Christmas parade..

County Commission Chairman David Seibert thanked Ivey and the Limestone
Amateur Radio Emergency Service for the valuable public service that they
perform. (eHam)

RADIO LAW: FCC BANS 700 MHz WIRELESS MICS AS OF JUNE 12TH

The FCC has prohibited the further distribution and sale of devices that
operate in the 700 MHz band. This, to clear this spectrum for public
safety and 4th generation or 4 G consumer communications gear.

In its January 15th release, the FCC says that the spectrum in the 700 MHz
band had already been auctioned to several wireless service providers
following the June 12, 2009 Digital television transition. It also notes
that its Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking primarily affects
wireless microphones and those who operate them.

The FCC says that a sunset period running through mid-June of this is being
provided for those currently using 700 MHz wireless mics. As of June 12,
2010 use of those devices will be prohibited. More on this story is on
line at www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones. (FCC)

RADIO LAW: FCC ASKS CONGRESS FOR ADDITIONAL MONTH ON BROADBAND PLAN

The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission is asking for a one
month extension on the mandate that his agency has develop a national
broadband plan that it is required to submit to Congress.

The creation of such a blueprint was mandated by last year's economic
stimulus bill. It was due to lawmakers by Sunday, February 17th. But the
FCC is now asking for an extra month to finish digging through the massive
volume of public comments that it has received over the past 11 months on
how to make universal broadband a reality. The staff involved in preparing
the plan also wants more time to brief the FCC's five commissioners and
members of Congress.

The request for an extension needs to be approved by the Senate and House
Commerce Committees. They are the bodies in Congress which have
jurisdiction over the FCC. (Published news reports)

ENFORCEMENT: $51 MILLION JUDGEMENT IN SAT-TV SOFTWARE CASE

It's the biggest judgement ever issued against an individual for helping
others to obtain pay television without paying the monthly fee. Amateur
Radio Newsline's Don Carlson, KQ6FM, is in Reno, with the rest of the story:

--


The Dish Network, EchoStar and NagraStar satellite services have won a $51
million dollar judgement against one Robert Ward. This, after a federal
judge in Tampa, Florida, found that Ward had posted software on the
Internet that would permit people to receive subscription satellite TV
without paying a fee.

The three plaintiffs said the summary judgment ruling made two significant
findings that will strengthen their companies' ability to pursue cases like
this in the future. First the court held that the posting of illegal
software constitutes a violation of the Communications Act. Second that
the statutory damages in the case should be calculated based on how many
individuals downloaded the illegal software.

There is a reality side to this matter. That being weather or not any of
the plaintiffs will be able to collect any or all of the $51 million dollar
judgement against Ward remains to be seen.

I'm Don Carlson, KQ6FM, in Reno.

--

Collect it or not, the amount of the judgement and its implications to
future cases of this type has send what can best be called shockwaves
through the on-line communities that believe that they have a legal right
to decode and watch pay television stations free of charge. More on this
matter is on-line at http://www.rbr.com/tv-cable/19881.html (RBR)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: SUMBANDILLASAT TEMPORARILLY SUSPENDS OPERATIONS

The Amateur Radio FM transponder on the SO-67 SumbandilaSat ham radio
satellite has been temporarily suspended. This, to permit completion of
the satellite commissioning activities

According to Jan Albert writing on the On the AMSAT bulletin board, there
is little more than 6 weeks left in which to complete the commissioning
activities on SumbandilaSat before operations are planned to be handed over
in middle-March to the Satellite Application Center. That's who will then
continue to operate the satellite on behalf of the Department of Science
and Technology which actually owns the satellite. Since progress is
currently hampered by the various South Africa AMSAT payload activities,

Albert says that there is no choice but to temporarily suspend this service
on SO-67. He adds that plans are to have SO 67 back on the air by the end
of March or sometime in early April. So far SumbandilaSat has successfully
executed more than 320 payload activation's since hams began using the ham
radio payload at the end of 2009. (ANS)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: NEW AO-7 AMERICAS QSO DISTANCE RECORD

A new distance record has been set within the Americas over an aging ham
radio satellite. On Sunday January 24th at 22:52 UTC Joe Spandler, K3SZH
in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, held a short contact with Francisco Ramires,
PY2OV in Sao Paulo, Brazil using the 70 cm to 2 meter transponder on the 35
year old AO-7 ham-sat. The distance between the two stations was 7738 km
and is believed to be the furthest contact within the Americas, but falls
just short of the ZS6BB to EA6SA international contact at a distance of
7766 km. ZS6BB to EA6SA stands as the record for the AO-7 bird which was
launched on November 15, 1974 on board a Delta rocket from Vandenberg Air
Force Base in California. (Southgate)

WORLDBEAT: SV2SAP SAYS RETURN SY TO MT ATHOS

Mount Athos resident radio amateur, Monk Apollo, SV2ASP/A is calling for
the return of SY prefix to the monastery`.

For many years the prefix 'SY' was assigned exclusively to the DXCC entity
Mount Athos in Greece. This was later changed to 'SV/A' but for many radio
amateurs the SY prefix is still connected only to Mt Athos, although every
Greek radio amateur may apply for a SY prefix.

According to the Southgate News, this is a thorn in the side of Monk
Apollo. And now he is asking DXers from all over the world to send an
e-mail to the Greek licensing authority at that asks it to
stop this practice.

At the moment Monk Apollo is active mainly on RTTY because this mode is
silent and does not disturb the other monks. He prefers operating on 160
through 30 meters from 1700 to 2100 UTC. However be aware that his SV2ASP/A
call was used by a pirate operator at least once this year on January
12th. (Southgate)

THAT FINAL ITEM: A FINANCIAL HEALTH UPDATE ON NEWSLINE

And finally this week, we have a brief update on Amateur Radio Newsline's
financial health. Here again is our President and Producer, Bill
Pasternak, WA6ITF:

--

Before I go any further, I want to thank each of you who sent notes and
e-mails of condolence on the passing of our Treasurer and Support Fund
Administrator Andy Jarena, N6TCQ. It made us feel good to know that so
many of you felt toward Andy the way that we did.

It has been a very busy several weeks for me after taking on the added role
of interim treasurer after Andy left us. Nor was it a very happy time
because Andy was one of my closest and dearest friends for over two
decades. And I was honored to have been asked to represent his world of
interest in amateur radio at a celebration of his life that his life
partner Judy Hurst and his sister Ann Albertson held in his memory on
Saturday January 23rd.

In keeping with Andy's desires, this was not a sad gathering. Rather it
was a group of people whose lives had cross Andy's and who remembered him
with sincere fondness, friendship and warmth. And in retrospect, for many
of us it was that catharsis we needed to close this chapter of our lives by
being able to publicly say goodbye to our friend who had been an
inspiration to all of us.

On another topic, I and the entire Amateur Radio Newsline production team
want to thank those of you who heard our emergency funding plea and made a
contribution. Thanks to you caring and thanks to your coming to our
financial rescue we have made it through January and have enough to hold us
thorough at least the first few weeks of February. After that -- well --
it remains to be seen, but for the next few weeks we should be OK.

Last but by no means least, we wish we had the resources to send each of
you a personal note or card to thank you. Unfortunately we do not have
that luxury. So, from the collective hearts of all of us at Amateur Radio
Newsline we send our "thank you" in this way. Over the Internet. Over the
telephone and over the airwaves, It comes from our sincerest gratitude to
which Ill add that having you as listeners and supporters makes us feel
truly blessed.

I know that Andy said this many times in the past, but please permit me to
say that you are not just an audience, You are in your own way, a vital
part of what we like to the Amateur Radio Newsline family and we are truly
fortunate to have you on our team.

Again, I say thank you -- and for this week -- 73.

I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF.

Than you Bill. (ARNewsline(tm))
