REGULATORY: FCC TURNS DOWN HFA REQUEST TO PREEMPT CCR'S

The FCC has turned down a request filed by Don
Schellhardt, KI4PMG, representing a group calling
itself Hams For action that sought FCC preemption
over deed restrictions some hams face ip putting
up towers and antennas. Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, has mo

--

In the petition Don Schellhardt and Hams For
Action challenged the depiction of all CC&Rs as
voluntary. This is because some jurisdictions
require housing developments to adopt CC&Rs and
other areas have little or no housing available
that is not subject to such restrictive
rules. They also cited the role played by hams in disaster situations.

In it letter of denial, the FCC said that it
still views deed restrictions as a personal
contract between a buyer and a seller. As such
they are not subject to Commission oversight.

The FCC also disputed the claim that antennas are
needed at the homes of radio amateurs to handle
disaster relief operations. It said that there
has been no showing by Schellhardt and Hams For
Action that the communications provided by
Amateur Radio operators during emergencies such
as earthquakes and hurricanes have been adversely
affected by residential CC&Rs. Rather, says the
FCC, communications from areas affected by
disasters typically occur from transmitters that
are not subject to CC&Rs. These are usually
mobile or hand-held radios, or temporarily
installations at buildings such as schools,
shelters, or government locations.

The bottom line: The FCC says that it does not
believe that the anticipation of disaster events
is grounds for it to revisit a policy that
applies to an Amateur Radio operator's ability to
install antennas and antenna support structures
where they reside. Nor will it preempt private
deed restrictions to make it so.

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

At this point Schellhardt and Hams For action
have two choices. They can continue to
administrative appeals process or they can take
the matter into the federal courts. (FCC)

HAM HAPPENINGS: ARRL DEDICATES THE DIAMOND TERRACE

Theres a new edition at ARRL Headquarters. Take a listen as it is
dedicated:

---

Actuality audio of ceremony.

--

That's the sound of ARRL President Joel;
Harrisson, W5ZN, and Executive Vice President
Dave Sumner, K1ZZ, cutting the ribbon that marked
the opening of the new Diamond Terrace at the
entrance of ARRL Headquarters in Newington,
Connecticut. The ceremony took place at the
beginning of the summer Board of Directors meeting.

While the Diamond Terrace may be a point of
beauty at the League's headquarters building, it
also has deeper meaning. According to President
Harrisson, the Diamond Terrace is really a
tribute to the ARRL's staff, its leadership and
to those who have financially supported the
ARRL's efforts to protect and defend the hobby at home and world-wide.

--

W5ZN: " When you talk to the average ham out on
the street, and you ask him what's important to
him in Amateur Radio, he will tell you, 'I want
to go into my shack, I want to turn on my radio
and I want to get on the air. I want to enjoy
Amateur Radio. You take care of that for me.

And obviously it takes a lot of work behind the
scenes to make things happen. With all that we
have going on in Washington, nationally, with all
the attacks on Amateur Radio's resources, it
takes people like you in Newington, it takes
people like we have on the Board of Directors and
most importantly, it takes people who donate to
our development program to make that all happen."

--

While there were a lot of people working behind
the scenes to make the Diamond Terrace a reality,
likely nobody was more dedicated to the project
than Chief Development Officer Mary Hobart,
K1MMH. And her contribution was not forgotten by
those attending the ceremony. In his remarks,
Dave Sumner gave kudos to her and her
staff. Sumner said that the idea of the Diamond
Terrace originated in the ARRL Development Office
and they saw it through to fruition.

The Terrace will eventually host up to 5000
personalized, 4x8-inch laser-engraved bricks. It
recognizes donors wishing to venerate their own
call signs or to honor or memorialize the call
sign of a family member, club or mentor. There
are also six benches of Vermont granite placed
around the Terrace and also engraved with names
and calls. A short video of the dedication
ceremony has been posted to the YouTube dot com
website. Its in cyberspace at

INTRUDER WATCH: RELIGIOUS BROADCASTERS TAKE TO 10 METES

As if truckers on this side of the Atlantic were
not enough, now reports have been received in the
United Kingdom of religious broadcasts in the 10 meter band.

The transmissions are thought to emanate from
Ireland. That nation recently started licensing
wireless Public Address services to operate in
the 11 meter Citizens Band but German radio
amateurs have monitored signals at 28.105MHz.

The Irish Radio Transmitters Society is asking
for any reception reports, with beam headings and
recordings if possible, to try and help locate
the transmitter or transmitters. Reports should
be sent to Thomas Caffrey, E-I-2-J-D, by e-mail
to . Irish
telecommunications regulator ComReg says that it
is prepared to act on the matter if sufficient
information is supplied to it. (GB2RS)

RESTRUCTURING: TEMPORARY 4 METER ALLOCATION GRANTED IN ITALY

Italy now has a temporary ham radio allocation in
the European 4-meter Amateur band. On July 12th
the Italian Authorities released three 25-kHz
segments centered around 70.100, 70.200 and
70.300 MHz for use by that nations radio amateurs
for use through the end of the year.

According to I0JX posting to QRZ.com, the new
allocation began with a request by a few Italian
hams to carry out an experimental propagation
study under the technical coordination of a
university. This to see if the band will offer
opportunities of transatlantic contacts during the summer sporadic-E season

The authorization expires on December 31st. I0JX
says that the prospects for a permanent 4 meter
allocation in Italy appear to be good. Meantime,
Italian hams now join those in the United Kingdom
and several other European nations who will be
beaming toward the United States and Canada in
search of cross-band contacts on 10 and 6 meters. (I0JX. QRZ.com)

RESTRUCTURING: DENMARK LICENSES 40 MHZ HAM RADIO BEACON

Denmark's telecommunications regulator has
approved a permit for a beacon on 40.021 MHz.

Signing the call OZ7IGY, the beacon will be
subject to several conditions once it comes on
the air. These include no interference to any
other spectrum users and a maximum output of 25
watts to a unity gain omnidirectional antenna at
no more than 10 meters above ground.

The permit is valid for a year. Results of the
experiment are to be reported to the regulatory agency.

Denmark's OZ7IGY currently operates beacons on
50.021 and 70.021 MHz and a number of other
frequencies. More information is on-line at www.oz7igy.dk/

By the way, Denmark is the second country to
announce the licensing of an Amateur Radio beacon
on 40 MHz. A couple of weeks ago the GB3RAL
beacon system near Oxford in the United Kingdom
was authorized to operate on the band as
well. Its sponsors hope to have it on the air this fall. (Southgate)

REGULATORY: FCC SAYS NO TO VANITY CALL RECONSIDERATION

Being a little late has cost a Minnesota ham the
vanity call sign he had hoped for. This, after
the FCC acts on Friday, July 20th to deny the
petition of Quinten Erickson, N0RD, requesting a
reconsideration of his application for vanity
call sign N7AZ. Amateur Radio Newsline's Jeff
Fred Vobbe, W8HDU, has the details:

--

The story goes this way. Both Quinten Erickson
and Jon Goering had filed for the N7AZ
callsign. Erickson lives in Big Lake Minnesota
and used to hold the call N7GXA. Goering who
formerly held the call NJ7I is from of Apache Junction, Arizona.

According to the FCC, Goering's application for
N7AZ was received by the FCC on Sunday, January
14th, 2007. Because the application was received
on a weekend, the FCC deemed it to be filed on
the next business day. That turned out to be Tuesday, January 16th.

The FCC says that Goering and Erickson's
applications for N7AZ were included in a lottery
to determine the processing order of applications
with a filing date of January 16th. Of the
applications that requested N7AZ, Goering's was
the first selected. The FCC granted the vanity
call to Goering on February 13th and Erickson soon filed an appeal.

In his reconsideration request to the FCC,
Erickson argued that the agency should have
dismissed Goering's application for N7AZ as being
premature. That Goering's application was still
reflected in the Commission's licensing records on Sunday, January 14, 2007.

But the FCC disagreed. It said that the fact
that Commission's records were not updated until
after the weekend does not change the date on
which the call sign became available to the
vanity call sign system. Based on this, the FCC
says that Goering's application therefore was
not premature because with the two year grace
period the N7AZ call expired on January 13, 2005
and was not available for re-assignment until
January 14, 2007. As the 14th was a weekend, the
17th of January was the date the agency said that
it did its first vanity call sign business for the week.

As far as the FCC is concerned, the matter is now closed.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Fred Vobbe, W8HDU.

--

And a post script to this story. Quinten
Erickson is not without a vanity call of his
own. He applied for call sign N0RD this past
April 10th. He received it on April 28th. (FCC)

ENFORCEMENT: FCC TO K6TXH - WE HAVE COMPLAINTS

The FCC has sent a letter to Steve L. Wingate,
K6TXH, of Eureka, California. In its note the
regulatory agency tells Wingate tat it has
complaints alleging his lack of station control and deliberate interference.

The Commission gave K6TXH 20 days from his
receipt of his letter to respond to the
complaints in detail. And something new this
time around. Wingate was also ordered by the FCC
to support his reply with a signed and dated
affidavit that, under penalty of perjury,
verifies the truth and accuracy of the
information he submits in his response.

For those not aware, under Federal law, to
knowingly and willfully make any false statement
or conceal any material fact in reply to a
government inquiry is punishable by fine or imprisonment. (FCC)

**

ENFORCEMENT: NO AUTOMATIC CONTROL FOR YOU

The FCC has suspended the automatic remote
control privileges of up to a dozen Tennessee
repeaters. Its also told the ham whose call sign
is on the machines that he has no choice but to
solve the user abuse problems or keep the
repeaters off the air. Amateur Radio Newsline's
Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, teels us about an FCC
decision that could be precedent setting:.

--

The story of the FCC involvement in the matter of
repeaters operated by John C. Kimbrough, WR3S,
goes back to April 10th of this year. That's
when the regulatory agency wrote to notify him
that a problem existed and required his attention.

The FCC said that its Enforcement Bureau had
monitoring information indicating that on various
dates in March that repeater stations identifying
as or by WR3S operated without proper control
and re-broadcast portions of commercial TV
programming and music. The FCC says that the
monitoring also showed that operators on the
system failed to identify properly and used false call signs.

The letter went on to warn Kimbrough that the
Commission requires that repeaters be under the
supervision of a control operator and not only
expects, but requires, control operators to be
responsible for the proper operation of the
repeater system. Also, that control operators
must take whatever steps are appropriate to
ensure compliance with the rules. This might
include limiting the repeater use to certain
users, converting the repeater to a closed system
or taking it off the air entirely.

In his response, Kinbrough indicated to the FCC
that he oversees a dozen repeaters on the 2 meter
and 223 MHz bands. Also that he used at least ten control operators.

But the FCC stated that the failure of all ten of
control operators to prevent or eliminate these
violations is inexcusable, especially in view of
the wide scale linking of these repeaters. The
FCC then told WR3S that he will soon receive a
directive from the Atlanta office of the
Commission removing the automatic control
privileges of your repeater systems. This means
that you may not operate any repeater stations
under his callsign unless he is the control
operator and at the control point at all
times. This, to make certain that Commission
rules are being followed and that no interference is occurring.

But here is the kicker. The FCC is forbidding
Kimbrough from simply delegating control
authority to other area hams. In what may well
be a first of a kind order, the FCC has told WR3S
that at those times when he is unable to function
as the control operator of the stations
identifying with his call sign, they may not
transmit. In other words, if he is not at the
specific geographic point where the controls are
to physically located, that repeaters must stay
QRT. The FCC says that Kimbrough has no other choice.

For the amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, reporting.

--

The FCC order to WR3S does not end there. It
tells Kinbrough that his failure to control
stations bearing his call sign, or any
communications over his repeaters not complying
with Commission rules, will result in enforcement
action against his license. The FCC says that
this could take the form of a fine, the
modification of his license to remove all voice
operating privileges or even the suspension and
revocation of Koimbrough's Amateur ticket. It
also directed him to contact the local frequency
coordinator and clear up the records as to which
systems actually belong to him, and which are the
property of other hams and only utilize his call. (FCC)

REGULATORY: FCC TO ICOM - NO CHANGE AT 150 MHZ

It took three years, but FCC has denied a June
15, 2004, Petition for Rule Making filed by Icom
America. . One that asked the Commission to
begin a proceeding seeking comments on the
re-designation and related transfer of certain
spectrum in the 150 MHz . This, band from the
Public Mobile Radio Service to the Public Safety Radio Service.

On Tuesday, July 24th, the FCC finally concluded
that, based on the record before it. Icom had not
made a sufficient showing to support the
commencement of a rulemaking. Therefore it was
denying the Icom request. (FCC)

RESCUE RADIO: NO LA NINA DOES NOT MEAN FEWER TROPICAL STORMS

Back in the USA, the hurricane season is here and
hams are preparing for a worst case
scenario. And they are not getting as much help
from Mother Nature as they might have hoped.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
has predicted that a cooling of Pacific Ocean
waters that generally brings a more active
Atlantic hurricane season will be absent for the
next two months. But Dennis Feltgen, a
meteorologist and spokesman for the National
Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration in
Miami says that the non-appearance of what
forecasters call La Nina doesn't necessarily mean
a tame summer for tropical storms and the hurricanes some grow into.

This year, forecasters have predicted an
above-average hurricane season, which runs June 1
through November. They believe there will be 13
to 17 named storms. Seven to ten of them will
become hurricanes and three to five of those will
reach at least Category 3 velocity.

But meteorologist Feltgen says that there are so
many other ingredients that contribute to the
development of tropical cyclones. He adds that
it's not just the fact that we don't have a La
Nina that comes into play here. For hams
involved in severe weather spotting it means to
keep your go kit ready and your batteries fully charged. (Science Online)

REGULATORY: SENATE WANTS FCC OBSENITY RULES ENFORCED

A Senate committee is working to restore the
government's authority to fine radio and T-V
broadcasters for airing obscenities.

The committee has approved a bill to undo an
appeals court ruling that invalidated the FCC's
new profanity procedure. That ruling overturned
the regulatory agency's resolve to punish any use
of two common profanities. This, even if they were used in fleeting
reference.

Before the new rules went into place the FCC only
punished use of the words if they referred to
sexual activity or bodily functions. Now the
agency says both words are inherently indecent.

The bill that the Senate committee approved would
require the FCC to have a policy in which a
single word or image could be considered
indecent. Broadcasters and civil rights
advocates have vowed to fight the imposition of
any regulations that they feel might stifle
creativity or impinge on their rights to freedom
of speech. Meantime. the FCC is still pondering
what action to take on the appeals ruling. (Published news reports)

THAT FINAL ITEM: DECEASED HAMS GEAR GOES TO UNDERPRIVELEGED YOUNGSTERS

And finally this week, a truly nice story out of
Saint Louis, Missouri. That's where a radio
amateur from a suburban community has made a
donation of ham gear that could open a new world
to some of the city's disadvantaged
youth. Amateur Radio Newsline's Mark Abramowicz,
NT3V, tells us how the station of a Silent Key will now live on:

--

Carl Hohenberger, WB0BZP, was passionate about
being a ham. This despite physical disabilities
that pretty much confined him to home.

His sister, Carol, recalls how he overcame his
challenges to become one of the St. Louis area's most recognized
operators...

"My brother was a quadriplegic, he was almost 7
foot tall," Carol recalls. "And, had he been
normal, I think he would have been a basketball
player at least - hands very large to take the
basketball. He was always interested in sports,
that was certainly a great hobby for him, the interest in sports.

"But we were looking for something else to
challenge his mind and to open the world for him
and I heard about CB radio. And, so I believe it
was in 1968 I bought him a little 69-dollar CB radio."

Wait a minute! CB Radio? That's what Carl's
neighbor at the time said, Ben Ward, W0BWD. He
was scandalized by the purchase and Carol
remembers he decided, no, Carl would need something more - as in ham radio.

She said Ward Elmered Carl and he was successful
in passing license tests and setting up a pretty
respectable station that she said he operated for some 25 years.

Carol says amateur radio became a family affair.

"My dad was WB0RIP and I'm KA0HZS," Carol says.
"I never was very active but I did have some
rigs. And my mother, who did not get her license,
however, was kind of a cook and bottle washer and
made many a desert for many a meeting that we
would have and it became very important to all of us."

Carol says her brother died in 1996 and it was
difficult for her family to part with his
equipment. She says she thought about what to do
with it a few times over that period, but never really had an answer.

Enter, Dennis McCarthy, AA0A.

"She thought that it could best be used to help
other young hams become ham operators," McCarthy
says. "And, Jim Berger, WA0FQK, and I go out to
Camp Wyman to give demonstrations of amateur
radio but they had no equipment. So I suggested
to Carol that that would be a good place to send
it, and she said: 'Go for it.' "

Camp Wyman is a camp for urban youngsters who
face a variety of challenges in their lives. And,
McCarthy says, it's a place that can really use the gear.

"Carol donated a TS-440, a Butternut antenna, all
the accessories, a power supply and other
equipment, including SWR bridges and even a
couple of scanners which in this tornado- and
severe-storm prone area might be of great value
for the kids and people out at Camp Wyman," McCarthy says.

McCarthy says it's a fitting tribute to Carl.

"Carl brought a world into his house if he
couldn't go out into the world and of course,
viz-a-viz, he brought his mom, his dad and his
sister into the world of Amateur Radio and a world outside the house."

Carol says her brother would be pleased to know
his love of amateur radio will live on.

"I know he would have wanted this to go to some
young people," Carol says. "And, over the years,
I looked for a group that dealt with young people
to expose them to ham radio and communications."

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

Carl Hohenberger, WB0BZP, may be gone, but his
station will surely bring a lot of joy to
youngsters who might otherwise never even what
ham radio is really all about. (ARNewsline(tm))
