RADIO POLITICS: AMATEUR RADIO EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS ENHANCEMENT ACT
REINTRODUCED BEFORE CONGRESS

New life for a ham radio emergency communications measure. This as the
Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Enhancement Act is re-introduced
before Congress. Norm Seeley, KI7UP, reports:

--

The Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Enhancement Act, which died
at the end of the 111th Congress, has been reintroduced in the 112th
Congress as HR 81. According to an ARRL credited posting on Facebook,
the sponsor is Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas.

The objective of the bill which is supported by the ARRL is for the
Secretary of Homeland Security to study the uses and capabilities of
Amateur Radio communications in emergencies and disaster relief. Also
it would identify and make recommendations regarding impediments to
amateur radio communications, such as the effects of private land use
regulations on residential antenna installations.

Representative Jackson Lee first introduced the bill as HR 2160 in the
111th Congress in April 2009. It gained an additional 41 co-sponsors
but did not progress out of the committee of jurisdiction. A similar
bill introduced in the Senate as S 1755 as made it all the way through
that body in December 2009, but likewise was not taken up by the House.
Now, in 2011, a lot of hams are hoping that this latest version will
make it though both houses of Congress and become the law of the land.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Norm Seeley, KI7UP, In Scottsdale,
Arizona.

The new bill which was introduced by Jackson Lee on January 5th has
been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. (ARRL)

DX ADVISORY: DX0DX OPERATION ON INDEFINITE HOLD

Some disappointing news for DX'ers. The long awaited DX0DX operation
from the Spratley Islands appears to be on indefinite hold and nobody
can say exactly when it will take place.

According to a posting on DX World dot net by Team Leader Chris
Dimitrijevic, VK3FY, the decision to abort the attempt at this time was
brought about by what he termed as circumstances beyond the control of
the DX0DX Team.

VK3FY said that the situation leading to the decision to postpone the
operation began when the expedition's transport by ship was damaged
back in October of 2010. They then opted to fly in, as there were no
ships deemed to be safe to make the voyage to Pag-Asa available.

VK3FY says that they had landing permission and booked an aircraft with
security cleared pilots. However, there was conflicting agreements and
the aircraft could not get approval of its flight plan. As time was
running out for this window of opportunity, and before more operators
became stuck in Palawan in the hope of making the last leg of the
voyage, the decision was made to postpone the operation.

The authorities overseeing access to the islands has been advised of
the postponement. Also, all of the equipment that was to be used for
the operation will be exported out of Philippines to comply with
current Philippine Customs Law.

VK3FY ends by noting that his team has a license as well as the
authority to land via ship. He says that when a ship becomes
available, it is his intention to activate this entity sometime in
2011.

More on this story is on line at dx-world.net. We will have more DX
news later on in this weeks Amateur Radio Newsline report. (DX-World)

RESTRUCTURING: RSGB ANALYZING FUTURE OF HAM RADIO IN THE UK SURVEY

It looks like there could be some long nights ahead for officials of
the Radio Society of Great Britains leadership. This as it wades
through the myriad of responses to its recently concluded survey of UK
hams on the future of the service and the society itself. GB2RS News
Reader Jeremy Boot, G4NJH is here with the details:

--

The RSGB Questionnaire on the status of amateur radio within the United
Kingdom closed on 31 December 2010. Over 3,000 responses were
completed, well in excess of expectations, so the Society is very
grateful for those who gave their time to have a go at the
Questionnaire.

It was particularly good to get feedback from several hundred lapsed
members as well as a sizeable number of people who had never joined the
Society.

The analysis task has now started. Whilst there are some statistics
that can be established quickly and easily some of the data,
particularly the textual comments will take many hours to gather,
categorize and collate.

I'm Jeremy Boot, G4NJH and you are listening to the Amateur Radio
Newsline.

--

The timetable for the analysis is to complete the analysis by the
summer. This, so that the key findings can be used in long term
planning by the RSGB. (GB2RS)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: ITALIAN REPEATERS ALLEGED TO BE INTERFERING WITH
HAMSATS

According to a report in the Southgate News, both F-M and D-Star
repeaters in Italy are showing up in the Amateur Satellite segment
145.8 from 146.0 MHz. These machines are said to be government
approved by Italy's Communications Regulatory Authority and are causing
considerable interference to amateur radio satellites and the
International Space Station contacts

Some of the Italian repeaters identified in the article as operating in
the 2 meter Amateur Satellite allocation are said to include F-M
machine IRE0CK on 145.85 MHz plus D-Star systems IR3UEF on 145.8 Mhz
and IR0CD on 145.975 Mhz.

The Southgate story says that it would appear that Italy's
telecommunications regulator permits repeaters anywhere within the 2
meter band on a provisional basis for 60 days. Authorization may become
permanent if no complaints are received. The article calls on hams
worldwide to make sure that the Italian telecommunications regulatory
body is made aware of any problems.

This is not the first time that there have been interlopers into the
ham satellite spectrum. Over the years there have been numerous
reports of terrestrial business communications using these frequencies
and eventually disappearing. Most of these reports came out of third
world developing nations. The situation in Italy will be quite
different if its proven that the repeaters alleged to be interfering
with ham radio space operations have government approval to do so.

The Complete story of this repeater versus ham radio satellite
interference is on-line at tinyurl.com/497bag7. The website for Italy's
Italy Communications Regulatory Authority in the Italian language is
www2 dot agcom dot it. And we will have more ham radio space related
news later on in this weeks Amateur radio Newsline report. (Southgate)

ENFORCEMENT: FCC DESIGNATES K1MAN LICENSE RENEWAL FOR HEARING

The FCC has designated the Amateur Service station license of Glenn A.
Baxter, K1MAN, for a hearing to determine if it should be renewed. In
its January 10th Hearing Designation Order, the Commission stated that
the proceeding will be held before a Commission Administrative Law
Judge to determine whether a pending application filed by Baxter for
renewal of his license for Amateur Radio Station K1MAN should be
granted.

The Hearing Designation Order continues with the FCC stating that the
record before it indicates that Baxter has apparently willfully and
repeatedly engaged in unlawful Commission-related activities. These
include causing interference to ongoing communications of other amateur
stations, transmitting communications in which he had a pecuniary
interest, failing to file requested information pursuant to an FCC
Enforcement Bureau directive, engaging in broadcasting without
communicating with any particular station, and failing to exercise
control of his station.

The Order continues by stating that based on the information before it,
the FCC believes that Baxter's apparent continuing course of misconduct
raises a substantial and material question of fact as to whether he
possesses the requisite character qualifications to be and remain a
Commission licensee. Accordingly, it has designated his pending
renewal application for a hearing.

Baxter had filed an application to renew the license for station K1MAN
on July 22, 2005, but this application had been set aside by the FCC
pending further action. His license expired on October 17, 2005, but
under Administrative Law he has been permitted to continue to operate
his station until the matter of his license renewal has been fully
adjudicated.

The Hearing Designation Order was issued on Monday, January 10th and
released on Wednesday, January 12th. In it, Baxter was given 20 days
in which to respond and state whether or not he will attend a hearing
on his license renewal at a time and place to be determined in a
subsequent order. Those of you interested can read the entire K1MAN
license renewal Hearing Designation Order at tinyurl.com/45vve38 (FCC)

COMMUNICATIONS POLITICS: FCC RELEASES FIRST LAB REPORT ON WIRELESS
TRENDS

The Federal Communications Commission has released the first in a
series of reports by the Office of Engineering & Technology Laboratory
which looked at trends in cutting-edge wireless devices.

The report shows that the number of wireless transmitters authorized by
the FCC in 2010 was nearly 12,000. This is an increase of almost four
times the amount from a decade ago. Its also a 700% increase since 2008
in the number of devices with three or more transmitters. That's up
from 7% of total devices in 2008 to more than 50% today.

The report also notes that new devices are becoming more useful and
technologically advanced. It found that the number of new increasingly
sophisticated devices entering the marketplace with multiple
transmitters, enabling access to 4G networks, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and
other types of connections, will continue to present more options for
consumers.

The complete text of the report is available at the FCC website. Its
in cyberspace as a Word document at tinyurl.com/45d67p4 or directly at

RESCUE RADIO: FLORIDA COMPANY PLANS NEW NETWORK USING TV ATSC THAT
INCLUDES EMERGENCY ALERTS

A new way to alert the public to emergencies while entertaining them is
being introduced to the airwaves, and it uses the current digital
television spectrum. Jim Davis, W2JKD, has the details.

--

Ludwig Enterprises Inc., headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida, is
building a network of affiliates for what it's calling a nationwide
world radio network with emergency warning ability. The company says
it has developed and patented a portable handheld radio that receives
signals from the digital television ATSC format and features 50
channels of digital radio programming.

Ludwig says that its main programming will consist of 40 channels of
ethnic talk radio such as Filipino, Pakistani, Hebrew, Chinese, Greek
and Russian. The remaining 10 channels are English-language channels
that include old-time radio shows, news, audio books, educational and
religious programs and classical music. It says it is targeting U.S.
multicultural, youth and over 55 markets with its content in
particular.

But what sets this concept apart from others is it will also be able to
provide an emergency alert system as well. According to Ludwig, its
radio receives can receive local, regional and national emergency
broadcast warnings. Specific national emergency and weather broadcasts
can be customized to those localized areas, according to the company.

According to Ludwig Radio, its plan calls for agreements with
broadcasters to lease transmit capacity. It says that with minor
modifications to the existing transmitter site and no changes in FCC
licensing this broadcasting network could allow the company to
broadcast non-competing formats over existing broadcast spectrum.

COMMUNICATIONS POLITICS: W7EQI VOWS TO OVERTURN NET NEUTRALITY ACTION

Representative Greg Walden, W7EQI, the incoming chair of the House
Communications Subcommittee, says that the FCC has overstepped its
bounds in regard to Net Neutrality. His opinion came in a Tuesday,
December 28th in a conference call with reporters about the FCC's 3-2
party line vote to expand and codify network neutrality guidelines.

According to news reports, Walden was joined by Energy & Commerce
Committee Chair Fred Upton, Communications Subcommittee Vice Chairman
Lee Terry and committee/subcommittee member Marsha Blackburn in
pledging to get all the commissioners to Capitol Hill to explain the
move. At the same time it was revealed that the legislators would work
to overturn the controversial FCC decision by any legislative means
necessary.

Confirming Upton's promise in an interview with Multichannel News, the
three legislators vowed a series of hearings on the process, the legal
underpinnings and the policy, the last which they characterized as a
job-killing, investment killing, congress-bypassing, regulatory
overreach. They also said they would look into at least three ways to
block implementation of the order, which would be legislation,
defunding the FCC appropriation, or a special congressional resolution
that would nullify the rules. (Published news reports)

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: MISSISSIPPI JAILS TO EXPAND INMATE CELLPHONE
BLOCKING

Mississippi corrections officials say a new inmate phone-block system
has worked so well at the Parchman penitentiary they will expand it to
other state prisons.

Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps told The Clarion-Ledger
newspaper that the use of the technology has blocked more than 600,000
unauthorized texts and cell-phone calls originating inside Parchman
since August.

Last fall, the state Department of Corrections announced it had signed
a contract with its telecommunications provider for a program designed
to immobilize illegal cell phones used by inmates at the Parchman
prison. Epps said the system stops cell transmissions in defined areas
from being completed but does permit specifically authorized and 911
emergency calls.

Since 2007, officials said, more than 8,700 cell phones have been
confiscated at Mississippi jails and prisons. Epps said those cell
phones have been used to plan escapes or to bring contraband into the
prisons. He adds that the system will be installed at Central
Mississippi Correctional Facility and the South Mississippi
Correctional Institution by May. (Clarion-Ledger)

THAT FINAL ITEM: 10 YEAR OLD DISCOVERS SUPERNOVA

And finally this week, the story of a 10 year old Canadian girl who is
being credited as the youngest person ever to discover supernova. Bill
Pasternak, WA6ITF, is in the newsroom with her story:

--

Kathryn Aurora Gray, of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, made her
discovery this past New Year's Eve. This, after noticing what was
later determined to be a magnitude 17 supernova, or exploding star.

The supernova took place in the distant galaxy known as UGC 3378 which
is about 240 million light years away from Earth. The Royal
Astronomical Society of Canada says that at age 10, Kathryn is
definitely the youngest person ever to make such a discovery. A
finding which has since been verified by amateur astronomers in
Illinois and Arizona. It also has been reported to and confirmed by
the International Astronomical Union.

Kathryn's father, Paul Gray, helped her make the discovery by taking
the steps to rule out asteroids and checking the list of current known
supernovas. Paul Gray is also an amateur astronomer. He says that his
daughter expressed an interest in the field last year after learning
that a 14 year-old had once discovered a supernova.

Paul Gray gave Kathryn a test run last November using some old files.
When she did it on her own on New Years Eve she made her discovery
after going through only the fourth of 52 images that had been e-mailed
to her father by amateur astronomer Dave Lane of Stillwater Lake, Nova
Scotia.

Talk about a little girl with a big future in the world of scientific
and astronomy. We say congratulations.

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