ALERT: NEWSLINE E-MAIL BEING SPOOFED

Amateur Radio Newsline's e-mail addrsss has been spoofed and yoy may have
been the target.

If you received an unexpected e-mail with our return address of
with a message written in Cyrillic Rusiam and
asking you to call a strange telephone number, delete that e-mail at once.
Its not from us and there is every reason to believe that calling that
phone number could be a hoax or scam.

Every once in a while spammers and Internet scammers randomly pick an
e-mail address and use it to send outs thousands if not 10's of thousands
or even millions of pieces of spam e-mail. This week it appears to be our
turn.

We found out about it when several hundred bounced e-mail filled our
incoming mailbox on Wednesday the 23rd. We notified our I-S-P but in
reality all that can be done is to wait for the spoofing attack to pass.

Meantime, if you were one of those who received the Russian spam, just
delete it because it was not from us. Also, remember this general Internet
safety rule. Never, ever click on any link in any e-mail that you are not
expecting, even if you know the person who sent it. There is no way to know
if that e-mail is real or just another web spoof like the one our e-mail
address was used for this past week.

Be wise. Do not click any link or call any phone numbers that came
unsolicited. Make Internet safety your top priority and you will not only
protect your computer but also your personal information as well.
Information that the crooks on the Internet will stop at nothing to get.

BREAKING DX NEWS: GLORIOSO ISLAND OPERATION POSTPONED AGAIN

If you have been one of those patiently waiting for Glorioso Island to come
on the air, you are going to have to wait a bit longer. This is because the
DXpedition to Glorioso originally scheduled for May 6th to June 6th has
been postponed once again.

The reason this time is construction. Starting in June a number of new
tropical storms shelters will be built on Glorioso. The work will take at
least two and a half months. Due to the large number of workers on the
island during the construction the authorities decided to postpone the
DXpedition until the work has been completed.

The exact dates for the Dxpedition to take place will be determined by the
availability of transportation to and from Glorioso. The operators say that
they hope to accomplish the operation by the end of September or the
beginning of October at the latest. We will have more D-X related news
later on in this weeks Amateur Radio Newsline report. (DXNL)

ON THE AIR: RULES CHANGES FOR FIELD DAY 2008

Three major changes have been announced in the rules guiding this years
ARRL Field Day.

First is that the Demonstration Mode bonuses have been replaced by an
Educational Activities bonus.

Second, The Get On The Air or G-O-T-A station may now also operate on the
VHF bands but only one band at a time.

Lastly, a newly licensed amateur who has received his or her ticket dince
Field Day 2007 may operate the G-O-T-A station regardless of license class,
but this does not apply to upgrades. The League says that an upgrade is not
the same as a new license.

Field Day 2008 runs from 1800 U-T-C on June 28th to 2100 U-T-C on June
29th. The complete rules are on the ARRL's website at
www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2008/fd.html. You can also find them starting
on page 81 of the May issue of QST magazine. (ARRL)

RADIO ON THE WEB: ARRL TO DISCONTINUE RADIOS ON-LINE LISTINGS

Call this a case of a few spoiling it for the many. The few are those
arrogant hams who have insisted that the ARRL rules regarding what is
permissible to post on the ARRL's Radios On-Line web ads does not apply to
them.

According to ARRL Chief Operating Officer Harold Kramer, WJ1B, the ARRL has
experienced an increased number of complaints by members and users of the
service. This, regarding postings and practices that do not conform to the
Radios On-Line Web site's original intent.

According to Kramer, despite efforts to regularly monitor the site problems
have continued. These include postings for guns and other personal ads.
Kramer says that the ARRL staff that administers this service has deleted
these items and notified the 'poster.' A day or two later they find the ads
back on the site and placed in every category.

Kramer says that the ARRL is spending far to much time dealing with this
matter and making it is no longer worth the cost of maintaining the
service. So as of April 30th the ARRL says that it will discontinue listing
classified ads in the Radios On-Line are of its website.

As we said, it only take a very few to spoil it for the many. (ARRL)

ENFORCEMENT: A COMEDY INTRUDER DOWN-UNDER

It was no laughing matter when signals popped up on 70cm band during the
recent Melbourne Comedy Festival down-under. But the Australian
Commuications and Media Authority -- the ACMA -- wasted little time in
dispoing of this one. Jim Linton, VK3PC, f the WIA News reports"

--

Staff of a security company were equipped with imported Chinese made
hand-helds radios. They believed they were CB radios and okay to use for
communications on the streets of Central Melbourne.

The ACMA acted quickly on reports of the intruders and was taking
appropriate action to ensure compliance with the Radiocommunications Act.

The fear among the amateur radio community is that this incident could be
just the start of many more commercial uses of similar radios.

That fear comes amid reports of another intrusion on the 70cm for valet
parking at a major Melbourne entertainment complex.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jim Linton, VK3PC.

--

Whether you live in Australia, Europe, here in the U-S-A or anywhere else
there is a good chance that attempting to engage pirate operations like
this in on-air discussion may be a breach of our amateur license
conditions. That means holding a QSOI with the intruder could get you into
as much trouble as the unlicensed station with the cheapo H-T. (WIA News)

ENFORCEMENT: COMPASSIONATE FCC FINES UNLICENSED BROADCASTER ONLY $100

The FCC has shown a lot of compassion as it issued and affirmed a monetary
forfeiture in the amount of only $100 to Dwayne Simon of California. This,
for operating an unlicensed radio transmitter on 95.9 MHz in Lancaster area.

Simon had originally been issued a Notice to Apparent Liability in the
amount of $10,000. This following a December 30, 2006 visit by FCC agents
from the Enforcement Bureaus Los Angeles office. During their visit the
agents interviewed Simon and inspected the station. During the questioning
Simon acknowledged that he was aware of the Commissions requirement for a
license to broadcast. He also said that he was aware of the Commissions
enforcement efforts against other pirate broadcasters in the Lancaster area.

Before leaving, the agents issued an on-scene Notice of Unlicensed
Operation to Simon. At the end of the interview Simon told the agents that
he would not operate the station again and indicated that he would pursue
an Internet-based radio station as an alternative.

But Simon apparently did not keep that promise. On April 6, 2007, Los
Angeles agents again visited Simon and inspected his station. Simon again
acknowledged operating the unlicensed station on 95.9 MHz.

On June 18, 2007, the Los Angeles Office issued a Notice of Apparent
Liability in the amount of $10,000 to Simon. In his Response, Simon did not
dispute the facts outlined in the proposed fine. Instead he apologized for
his actions and stated that he had dismantled his transmitter. He also
asserted an inability to pay the forfeiture and supplied personal financial
information to support this claim.

The FCC says that in analyzing Simons financial hardship claim that it
found it to be true and warranted a reduction in the amount of the fine. In
this case to the amount of $100 which Simnon was given 30 days to pay or to
file a further appeal. (FCC)

THE SOCIAL SCENE: SHELBY HAMFEST ANNOUNCES ITS NEW VENUE

The Shelby Hamfest will be heading a few miles East to a new venue. This
with word that the Shelby Amateur Radio Club will hold the 52nd Annual
Shelby Hamfest at Biggerstaff Park also called Gaston County Park. in
Dallas, North Carolina instead of the Cleveland County Fairgrounds closer
to Shelby.

As previously reported, the separation stems from earlier contract disputes
between the club and the Cleveland County Fair Association. New contract
stipulations for the fairgrounds put Hamfest in jeopardy. The radio club
thought the fair association's contract changes were unacceptable, leading
to a stalemate. The club was beginning to wonder if they would be able to
hold this years hamfest but it didn't take long for Gaston County to take
interest. As a result the new home for the Shelby Hamfest will be Dallas Park.

The Shelby Hamfest is one of the oldest and largest in the United States.
It was first held at Shelby City Park and began as a one-day event attended
by less than 100 people. The Hamfest eventually outgrew the City Park and
moved to Bracketts Cedar Park in Casar, North Carolina. By 1979, it had
outgrown Bracketts and moved to the Fairgrounds. In that time the event has
grown to where it attracts between 8000 to 12000 over the Labor Day
weekend. According to amateur radio operators who have attended since its
beginning, one of the major reasons for its growth and continued success
has been the small town friendly feeling that visitors enjoy. (Cleveland

RADIO IN SPACE: RADIO BELOW MARS SURFACE

A radar device co-sponsored by NASA on the European Space Agency's Mars
Express orbiter has looked beneath the surface of Mars.

The radar sounder on Mars Express is the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface
and Ionospheric Imaging was built to map the distribution of liquid and
frozen water in upper portions of the planet's crust. A complementary radar
sounder, the Shallow Subsurface Radar on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
uses a different frequency to see greater detail but to a lesser depth. The
two signals are then radioed back to Earth for scientific analysis.

As these two instruments continue to provide data, the understanding that
they provide about how planetary radar sounders work is prompting ideas for
using the technology to explore beneath the surfaces of bodies. These
include Jupiter's moon Europa, Saturn's moons Titan and Enceladus, as well
as asteroids and comets. (NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory Release)

DX

In DX word that N5FF should be in Damascus and should be active again as
YK1BA until May 2nd. He will return home to Texas on May 3rd. As usual, the
purpose of the trip is not a DXpedition, so his operating will be spotty.

A 6 meter DXpedition to Sable Island is scheduled to take place from June
25th through the 7th of July. VE3IKV, K5AND and W3CMP will be active there

THAT FINAL ITEM: LEARNING MORSE THROUGH SONG

And finally this week, a new song and video about rebuilding a ham radio
contest station while at the same time teaches the viewer the Morse code
will soon be here. Its from a musical group called the Ham Band. Lissa
Ladefoged, of the Ham Band gives us a bit of background on what lead to the
song being written and the video being produced:

--

Lissa: "What happened was that we had a small fore in the shack. The fire
was caused by an electrical short. So, we actually had to empty the shack.
This gave us the opportunity to completely rebuild and we filmed the whole
process from the burying of a huge copper grounding plate and the rewiring
of all the filters and switches and the installation of rhe three HF
stations. Finally the whole station was given a workout by our team in
several contests."

--

For those of you new to the the hobby, the Ham Band is a group of musicians
based in Denmark who do music about ham radio. Andrew John Huddleston,
OZ1XJ is the groups leader and his fife Lissa Ladefoged is they key
soloist. They are the only group to ever release an C-D that consists only
of songs about ham radio. Called Seek You -- it was introduced several
years ago at the Dayton Hamvention and was a sell-out. Since then the
groups on-line video single titled "Come And Join Us On The Airwaves" has
been at the top of the YouTube charts with over 90,000 views so far. Lissa
says the new song could set a record, but not in the way you might think:

--

Lissa: "The song is in three styles. First we have the French musette. And
then the Viennese waltz and we wind up with the German oom-pah. Each verse
introduces letters and numbers in Morse code so that all numbers and
letters are mentioned in the course of the 15 minute song. The song also
changes key twenty-four times se we expect to get into the Guinnes Book of
Records."

--

Andrew and Lisa say that they hope you will enjoy the new song's preview
video. Its on-line at the YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s49tnxT8F8
