HAMVENTION 2013: THE GATES SWING OPEN AND HAMVENTION BEGINS

Its Hamvention time in Dayton, Ohio. This as the gates at the HARA
Arena swing open for this years show of shows in amateur radio. And in
an interview with Rain's Hap Holly, KC9RP, Hamvention spokesman Dave
Kalter, W8CI, there's a lot to look forward to including some
spectacular prizes:

--

Kalter: "Our prize committee has been really busy. They want to
out-do what they did last year. Last year we had over $80,000 in
prizes and this year we want to surpass that."

--

But while prizes are an important aspect of Hamvention, so are other
activities with the many forums being front and center:

--

Kalter: "We get a lot of questions about forums and how important
forums are to amateur radio. And a lot of people love to mix their day
And sit down, watch a forum and learn something. All that information
can be found at our website at www.hamvention.org."

--

As this year's theme is the DX Hamvention, there are a lot of visitors
from outside the United States.
--

Kalter: "We have people coming literally from all over the world. A
large contingent is coming in from China this year. We had large
group from India last year. And of coarse Qatar and all throughout the
middle-East, Europe; a very strong (presence) from South America and
throughout Africa. And that's the big thing about amateur radio: When
you see people with a call that you know is a foreign call -most of
these people I find are just absolutely delighted to get to know you
and (have you) talk to them face to face."

--

According to Kalter, its not easy for some foreign visitor to get to
the Hamvention, but planners are always ready to assist:

--

Kalter: "People come from a lot of countries for which they need an
actual written. The city of Dayton; the city of Trotwood; the counties
around have all joined in to help us to make amateur radio operators
from all over the world feel welcome. Sometimes as many as four
letters to one person (are needed) just so they can get their visa."

--

And says Kalter, the Hamvention would not be possible without the
volunteers who make it happen.

--

Kalter: "This is an all volunteer undertaking. From the General
Chairman all the way through. We do contract for some emergency
services; for bus services; we lease out the Hara Arena but as far as
the nitty-gritty work and the planning, all of that is done by
volunteers."

--

Kalter adds that not all of the volunteers live in the Dayton area:

--

Kalter: "We are really pound of our amateur radio community here. We
are also proud of the fact that there are amateur radio operators that
come from all over the United States and other parts of the world just
to help volunteer for this great event."

--

By the way, if you are in Dayton for Hamvention 2013 and find yourself
in need of any kind of assistance, simply dial your 2 meter mobile or
handheld to the repeater pair of 146.34 in and 146.94 out. That's the
official repeater for Hamvention. Its call is W8BI and no PL tone is
required.

OK. Its time for our reporters in Dayton to grab their audio recorders
and go to work. You will hear their reports on Hamvention 2013
beginning next week.

HAMVENTION 2013: KIDS AND D-STAR MIX AT HAMVENTION 2013

Kids and D-Star were to be part of Hamvention 2013's activities. This
as the Texas Interconnect Team announces that for the Hamvention
weekend, reflector REF033B will officially be the Dayton Kids
Reflector.

Megan McClellan, K5MEM, will spearhead the project from the ARRL Youth
Booth starting Friday morning and continuing during show hours on
Saturday and Sunday. The objective is to give the future young hams an
opportunity to experience the fun and excitement of talking with
someone far-away place using the magic of Amateur Radio. The
participants in the Youth area will have access to handheld radios and
a DV-AP, and will operate under the supervision of an experienced
Control Operator.

Even if you not at this years Hamvention you can assist in this effort
by connecting using D-Star to Reflector REF033B during event hours
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If nobody is talking, give them a call.
Remember, for any QSO to begin it takes someone calling the first CQ.

INTRUDER WATCH: RUSSIAN RADAR ON 75 - 80 METERS

In other news, the latest IARU Monitoring System Newsletter reports the
Russian Over The Horizon Radar that has invaded the 3.5 MHz band is
still very active. The interfering Radar system is believed to be
located in the area of Makhachkala, on the Caspian Sea and transmits
simultaneously between 3.515 to 3.545 and 3.560 to 3.590 MHz. As a
result, amateur radio and other services are suffering interference
during the evening hours. The German and Dutch telecommunications
regulators have been informed and have been asked to intercede.

HURRICANE WATCH NET SEEKS NEW MEMBERS FOR NET CONTROL STATIONS

The ARRL Letter says that with the 2013 hurricane season approaching,
the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, and the Hurricane
Watch Net are gearing up for what could be a very active storm season.
And in preparation for what Mother Nature might have in store the
Hurricane Watch Net is seeking new members who can serve as net control
stations.

For those not aware, the Hurricane Watch Net provides on-the-ground,
real-time weather data from amateur radio operators who volunteer their
time to monitor their own properly calibrated home weather stations.
The hams then report the data collected to the Hurricane Watch Net,
which in turn forwards it to WX4NHC which is the amateur radio station
at the National Hurricane Center.

For more information on the role played by hams in this vital, life
saving service, and how you can become a part of it, take your web

STORY CORRECTION: PROPER SOURCE CREDIT ON DARC AND UBA SUPPORT AMATEUR
RADIO IN TUNISIA STORY

And before we go any further, a correction to the source credit in last
weeks newscast concerning the story about Germany's DARC and Belgium's
UBA supporting amateur radio in Tunisia. In the print edition we gave
the source credit to an organization called A-R-A-T. Well it turns out
that the groups actual name is ASTRA which stands for Association
Tunisienne des Radio Amateurs that translated into English is the
Association of Tunisian Radio Amateurs. How the credit which was only
seen in the print edition got typo'ed remains a bit of a mystery, but
we are sincerely grateful to our listeners and readers across Europe
and in Tunisia for bringing this discrepancy to our attention.

RESCUE RADIO: W6TIA SEEKS SIGNATURES ON PUBLIC WARNING LEGISLATION
PETITION

Richard Rudman, W6TIA, who is a core member of the Broadcast Warning
Working Group, has posted an online petition urging Congress and the
Executive Branch of government to enact legislation for a national
public warning strategy. This so emergency public information is
always coordinated with other emergency response measures.

In the petition Rudman and the Broadcast Warning Working Group advocate
that Emergency Public Information be treated as a true response
resource within the culture of emergency management professionals and
to be legislated by Congress. And in an interview with Amateur Radio
Newsline, W6TIA, explained the importance of getting the government to
pay attention to this special need:

--

Rudman: "The petition was started because we feel that two pieces of
legislation that died in the last session (of Congress) should be
brought back and strengthened, so that for one thing there is a unified
strategy for emergency management and tying it to emergency public
information including warnings."

--

The legislation referred to by W6TIA was based on the Partnership for
Public Warning report titled "A National Strategy for Integrated Public
Warning and Capability." He noted that this was reinforced with
language from the previous legislative attempts and feels this proposal
can finally give real, wide-ranging value and meaning to FEMA's Common
Alerting Protocol warning tool called the Integrated Public Alert and
Warning System.

Rudman tells Newsline that he hopes to collect between 100 and 200
signatures. He then plans to present them to what he terms as key
people in Congress who supported past attempts at such legislation in
the hope of getting them to introduce them again, and get them passed.
W6TIA has about 75 signatures so far. You can read and sign the
petition at tinyurl.com/true-response-resource or

RESCUE RADIO: EMCOMM HAM RADIO REPEATER EVICTED BY AMERICAN TOWER

A decision by American Tower Corporation to evict an amateur radio
emergency communications system from a tower the company recently
acquired in New Mexico has both the sponsoring radio club and many of
the people working in local emergency services very concerned. Amateur
Radio Newsline's Norm Seeley, KI7UP, reports:

--

The repeater in question is located on Buck Mountain overlooking the
community of Ruidoso. New Mexico, and is operated by the Sierra Blanca
Amateur Radio Club. The equipment was installed on the tower in 2004
and except for when the tower suffered some damage three or four years
ago the repeater has been used continuously for emergencies such as the
Little Bear Fire in June 2012, and in the Rio Ruidoso flood of July
2008.

Tony Davis is the president of White Mountain Search and Rescue. He
said that he learned late Wednesday May 8th that the tower holding the
amateur radio repeater that is owned and maintained by Rick Sohl,
K5RIC, had been sold to American Tower Corporation. Despite attempts
by Sohl to negotiate an arrangement, American Tower has decided to
terminate amateur radio use of the facility, effective immediately.
Davis said that there are other towers near the same location, but they
are largely occupied.

Ruidoso Acting Fire Chief Harlan Vincent also serves as the village
emergency services manager. He says that he is not happy about the
decision of the Boston-based American Tower company. He noted that
Ruidoso relies heavily on heavily on ham operators in time of
emergency. He said that when emergency service repeaters go down, the
ham radio repeaters are still functioning and able to get information
from point A to point B.

According to the Ruidoso News article reporting the repeaters eviction,
this system is used by amateur operators not just in Lincoln County. It
also provides coverage into Otero, Chaves and Eddy County, and as far
away as the Panhandle of Texas and into the city of El Paso.

Davis and Doug Thompson, W5DET, who is president of the Sierra Blanca
Amateur Radio Club, have sent an "open letter" for publication in the
Ruidoso News to the chairman, president and chief executive officer of
American Tower Corporation. It asks him to reconsider the company's
stance.

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

ENFORCEMENT: FCC UPHOLDS $15000 FINE AGAINST UNLICENSED OREGON
BROADCASTER

The FCC has upheld a $15,000 fine against an Oregon resident for
allegedly operating an unlicensed radio station.

Following up on a complaint from a local broadcaster in 2011, the
Portland office of the Enforcement Bureau traced the signal on 97.9 MHz
in Prineville, Ore. to the residence of Joshua McMurchie's. A police
officer accompanied the FCC agent to the address where the FCC agent
inspected the station and issued McMurchie a Notice of Unlicensed
Operation.

Following another complaint in 2012, an agent again T-hunted the source
of the signal to McMurchie's residence and found a transmitter there.
The commission said that McMurchie admitted operating the station and
offered to surrender the transmitter.

Last July, FCC issued McMurchie a Notice of Apparent Liability in the
amount of $15000 raising by $500 it from the base amount of $10,000
because the unlicensed transmissions continued even after McMurchie was
ordered to cease operation.

But in its May 9th release the FCC says that McMurchie never answered
the original Notice of Apparent Liability. Based on that and the
evidence before it the agency has now issued a Forfeiture Order for
$15,000 giving him 30 days to pay or the case may be referred to the
Justice Department for collection. (FCC)

RADIO BUSINESS: PUBLISHER SOUGHT FOR VHF COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE

A small but popular magazine targeted at those who operate 50 MHz and
above is on the block. This as Andy Barter, G8ATD, announces his
intention to retire from publishing the currently U-K based VHF
Communications Magazine

According to Barter, he has published VHF Communications Magazine for
the past 13 years and now wants to retire. He says that he will
publish all 4 issues in 2013 but if anyone in the group would like to
take over publication of the magazine from 2014 on and give it a new
lease of life please contact him.

Barter says that the job of publisher involves translating articles
from the German magazine UKW Berichte plus finding additional articles
to fill the VHF Communications. In addition there is the work of
producing the magazine, getting it printed and distributed, handling
subscriptions plus orders for back issues and the like.

The current circulation of the magazine is 349 with just 80 of those
from the UK. If this interests you, please contact G8ATD by e-mail to

ARRL CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION: ARRL PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE SPONSORING
"I AM THE ARRL" VIDEO CONTEST

As part of the ARRL's Centennial Celebration in 2014, the League's
Public Relations Committee is sponsoring an "I am the ARRL" video
contest. The Committee is looking for pairs of short video clips
featuring ARRL members. One clip should show the radio amateur on the
radio, while the other should show the same ham in his or her work
setting saying who they are, that they like ham radio and that they are
the ARRL.

As explained by ARRL Public Relations Manager Allen Pitts, W1AGP, an
example might be a car mechanic in coveralls working over an engine who
looks at the camera and says 'I am Henry Smith, N0XCC. I like to talk
to people in exotic countries and I am the ARRL.' This clip would then
be paired with a shot of him at home talking on the radio.

Pitts says that the ARRL is looking for videos that communicate that
you are that guy or gal down the street and you are an important part
of the ARRL. W1AGP adds that with Field Day coming up next month,
there is a great opportunity for filming clips.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: GOOGLE ASKS FCC PERMISSION TO CREATE EXPERIMENTAL
2.5 GHZ NETWORK

Google may be trying to create an experimental wireless network
covering its Mountain View, California, headquarters. This in a move
that some analysts say could be a sign that the company may be planning
the creation of a super-fast wireless networks in other locations that
would allow people to connect to the World-Wide-Web using mobile
devices.

Google recently submitted an application to the Federal Communications
Commission, asking for an experimental license to create an
experimental radio service with a two-mile radius covering its
headquarters. The network would only provide coverage for devices
built to access frequencies from 2524 to 2625 megahertz. This is
spectrum which could work well in densely populated areas and which
mobile operators in China, Brazil and Japan are already building
wireless networks using. This in turn means that compatible devices
can eventually be manufactured.

According to Communications News, much of Google's application is
confidential, but it does say that the first deployment of the
experimental network would take place inside a specific building on
Google's property. That building reportedly houses the company's Fiber
Team, which is part of the Google Access unit that has introduced
high-speed wired Internet and video in Kansas City.

A Google spokesperson declined to comment on the purpose of the
application, saying the company regularly experiments with new ideas.

WORLDBEAT: ILLW REGISTRATION TIE

The battle for the most registrations for the 2013 International
Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend leadership appears at this moment to
be a tie between Australia and Germany with 40 registrations each. This
out of more than 220 from 30 countries around the world.

Looking at other nations, the United States has registered 23
lighthouse and lightship entities. It's followed by England at 18,
Argentina with at 12, Ireland and Scotland with 9 each, with Canada,
Netherlands and Sweden at 8 a piece.

With registration only at about the half-way mark, it so far appears
that the number of entities planning to take part is ahead of last year
at this same time. If you plan to activate a lighthouse or lightship
for this fun operating event and want to register it, simply take your
web browser to www.illw.net.

This year's International Lighthouse and Lightship weekend takes place

According to the United States Broadcasting Board of Governors, the
building that houses Marti and its website reportedly sustained damage
due to an accidental fire caused by a lighted cigarette left in a
container in a designated smoking area outside the building. While
windows cracked due to the heat, no one was injured and sprinklers were
automatically set off.

Carlos Garcˇa P‚rez, director of the Office of Cuba Broadcasting said
he was grateful for a quick response from firefighters, and for the
continued work of the station's broadcasters through the ordeal.

In Cuba, Radio Martˇ is available on 1080 AM and also on 1260 AM as

THAT FINAL ITEM: SELF HEALING CHIPS ARE A REALITY

And finally this week, indestructible electronics are a step closer to
reality thanks to engineers at the California Institute of Technology
who have developed what they are calling self-healing integrated chips.
Amateur Radio Newsline's Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, has mo

--

The team from the High-Speed Integrated Circuits laboratory in
Caltech's Division of Engineering and Applied Science repeatedly
blasted tiny power amplifiers with a high-power laser, vaporizing many
of their components. They then watched the chips develop their own
work-arounds in less than a second.

The new integrated circuits are so small that 76 of them, including the
amplifier and everything needed to heal it, can fit on one penny. The
amplifiers developed by the team use on-chip sensors that monitor
temperature, current, voltage, and power. These sensors send the
information to a custom application-specific integrated circuit or ASIC
which is a central processor on the same chip that functions as the
system's brain. The ASIC evaluates the information it receives from the
sensors about the amplifier's performance, decides what adjustments
need to be made to the system's actuators, and makes those changes. The
unit was designed to get to the optimum state for all actuators in any
situation without outside intervention.

The benefits of this approach go beyond overcoming severe damage.
Because of the self sensing, these amplifiers used about half as much
power as those without the self-healing capability, and performance was
more predictable and reproducible.

In addition to working around damage to parts of the circuits, the
amplifier's self-healing can repair static variation due to differences
across components and long-term aging problems that arise over time as
use changes the internal properties of the system. It can also handle
short-term variations caused by changes in load, temperature, and
differences in supply voltage.

Since chips such as these are useful for next-generation
communications, imaging, sensing, and radar applications, showing
successful self-healing here should mean that it also can be done in
less cutting-edge electronic systems such as cellphones and maybe
someday even in ham radio gear.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, in Zion,
Illinois.

Projects Agency and the Air Force Research Laboratory. More on this
