NZART Headquarters Infoline Special Issue 31s

16 December 2011



Headquarters: Debby says…

In my last issue of HQ Info-line I advised the next circulation date
would be Friday the 6th February. Not sure what calendar I was looking
at when I said this, as it should have been Friday 3rd February, with
the closing date for articles on Thursday 2nd February.



HQ will be closed from Saturday 24th December until Tuesday 10th
January.

A Ham’s Night Before Christmas
Just in time for the Christmas season, Gary, KN4AQ, has created a video
version of Clement Clark Moore's poem The Night Before Christmas. But
Gary’s version has a decidedly amateur radio twist. Entitled A
Ham's Night Before Christmas, it features QST magazine covers and
Christmas-themed advertisements from days gone by. You can see the video
at www.tinyurl.com/KN4AQ-Night-Before-Christmas

This is well worth watching and much fun, thanks Gary, RSGB and GB2RS.

A message from our ALO Don Wallace ZL2TLL

Proposed Changes Affecting the 130 to 190 kHz Amateur Band



Members may recall that the ALO asked for input regarding the MED's
proposal to increase the allowable power for short range devices in the
9-190 kHz band.



Based on input from members, the following submission has been sent to
the MED:



Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your proposal to increase
the permitted power for short range devices in the 9-190 kHz band.



As you will be aware, the only part of the proposal that affects
Amateurs is the proposed increase in power from -20 dBW (43 dBµA/m
@10m) to 3 dBW (66 dBµA/m @10m) over the sub-band 130 - 135 kHz.



After considering your proposal, we have formed the view that the
proposed 23 dB increase in allowed radiated power for short range
devices (which we believe are primarily used for livestock and companion
animal RFID devices) will have no material effect on reception on the
130 - 190 kHz Amateur band.



We would, however, like to stress that this is based on the assumption
that LF short range devices:

• will continue to be type approved and

• will not be modified by the end-user.



We are aware that it is very easy for end-users to tinker with such
devices in the mistaken belief of improving performance or saving money
- to the detriment of the carefully designed radiation performance. We
would recommend that any agreement to increase the power is given
subject to suppliers being required to include a warning of the dangers
of modifying the devices with each device they supply - maybe via a
warning in the instructions and the advertising for the devices.



Subject to a satisfactory mechanism for communicating the dangers of
modification being put in place, NZART has no objection to the proposed
increase in power.
