    The Darwin Amateur Radio Club held its annual general meeting recently.

    In his Annual Report the President Brian VK8BL advised that the club
    would try to
    increase participation in contests, including John Moyle, International
    Lighthouse and Lightships as well as participation in some special events.

    The report noted that NT based clubs are starting well behind southern
    counterparts, but participation is the key element.

    At its AGM meeting the president was re-elected but we also saw a couple
    of new
    faces that have been elected to the club executive.

    The committee for the next 12 months will be: -
    Chair: VK8BL Brian Bates
    Vice Chair: VK8BN Gary Gibson
    Secretary: VK8ZI Paula Chappel
    Treasurer: VK8RW Ray West
    Public Officer: VK8VWA Phil Brennan
    Station Manager: VK8RR Richie Chappel, and
    Committee: VK8AL John Matthews,
    VK8NTF Tom Fitzgerald,
    VK8RD Rowan Dollar.

    In his Annual Report the President encouraged the incoming committee to be
    active and to promote club activities to members in 2018.

    The Darwin Amateur Radio Club meets on the first Wednesday of each month.

    Details on the club web site VK8DA.com

    The club re-broadcasts the WIA broadcast on Sunday mornings and call
    backs are
    taken after the broadcast.

    There is a new 80 metre net on Tuesday evenings at 1030UTC on 3602Khz
    contact
    Phil VK8VWA who hosts the net.

    There is also a regular club activity meet on Thursday mornings at
    10.00am at the
    club house. Visitors are always welcome.

    This is Peter VK8ZZ for the Darwin Amateur Radio Club






    WIA

    Hello folks, Brian, VK2GCE here.

    I want to share some concerns the Board has in managing communications
    with you.

    You may be:

    an old-time radio amateur
    a middle-aged volunteer who want to help the WIA
    a newly licensed amateur
    or you’re just interested to learn what amateur radio is all about and possibly
    want to find out how to become a licensed operator.

    On the one hand there are many young, potential radio amateurs who use computers
    and digital media quite fluently for their daily sustenance. US radio
    amateurs
    have telephone patch devices available, so that a phone subscriber can
    chat with a
    ham who has such a patch, and then join in an on-air conversation,
    without the
    benefit of an amateur licence. And there are many digital products
    exploding onto
    the radio scene, possibly starting with the modems we use to connect our computers
    to the Internet - and Software-defined Radio. These three streams –
    patching,
    modems and SDR - have developed and begun to converge.

    As we discovered with the Product Market survey, there was almost no
    response from
    people under 30 years of age. These are the people for whom the present content of
    the linear, monolithic syllabus has little of interest or value and yet who
    consume social media like it was mother’s milk – it can’t harm you can it?

    On the other hand, there are older folk who have many connections via
    email and
    Internet interest groups, who would dearly like to be sure their personal details,
    like credit card numbers, bank account details, extra-curricular
    dalliances, stay
    private. My credit card provider is in the process of reimbursing me for
    over
    $1000 of charges made by so-called service providers from all over the
    world, to
    whom I gave no permission. This is the 3rd time in 2 years I’ve had to
    change
    credit cards to get around further fraud and theft. And I’ve just suffered a
    Ransomware attack whose decryption, after paying the ransom, still left
    considerable damage.

    Am I concerned about IT security?

    When the new Board started last May, we directors faced a tsunami of
    requests for
    instantaneous clarification of all manner of things. Because amateur
    radio is such
    a multi-faceted hobby, at first it was difficult for us to see the wood
    for the
    trees that, like the flu virus, kept self-replicating while continuously mutating.
    So, we started writing Policies, Terms of Reference, Rules and
    Procedures. These,
    together with the Ticketing system we are prototyping at Head Office,
    have started
    to clear the air. However, as any good cyber security expert will tell you,
    Policies, Terms of Reference and so on, are no defence against people determined
    to get your data.

    Presently the Board is working on documentation for the WIA’s management
    of IT and
    security. But with all the push to use social media like Facebook, and
    the recent
    scare over Cambridge Analytica’s alleged non-breach of member privacy and security
    I wonder just how far we need to go.

    Should we set up systems that are impregnable, fool-proof and last forever?

    Or should we, like governments in Australia and overseas, take a Risk Management
    approach?

    This will be the basis of the WIA’s IT Security Policy.

    If you want to assist, let us know, but please, no tsunamis. 73 de Brian, VK2GCE.

    Beijing authorizes 60m from July 1

    CRAC report the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in
    Beijing has
    announced that on July 1 radio amateurs will have access to the 5 MHz (60m)
    WRC-15 band

    Thanks to SouthGate Amateur Radio Club a Google translation of the CRAC website
    reads:

    The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology published the latest version
    of the “PRC Radio Frequency Division Regulations” in the form of Decree
    46. This
    revision was made in accordance with the Radio Regulations of the People's
    Republic of China, the 2016 edition of the Radio Regulations adopted by the
    ITU World Radio Conference 2015, and the development of our radio service.

    According to the newly promulgated "Regulations of the People's Republic
    of China
    for Radio Frequency Division," since July 1 this year, amateur radio
    amateurs in
    China will be able to set up amateur radio stations in the frequency band of
    5351.5-5366.5 kHz, which will be used as a secondary service conditionally.

    Changes also in the wind for Norwegian Hams

    Norway's communications regulator Nkom is consulting on changes to the
    amateur
    radio regulations and among the planned changes is allowing 1 kW output at
    VHF/UHF for EME or Meteor Scatter operation.





    The ARRL reports Brian Justin, WA1ZMS, in Virginia, has completed
    contacts on
    all 29 US amateur radio bands

    On April 11, he completed a CW contact on the new 2200-meter band with
    K3MF in
    Pennsylvania, wrapping up a sweep of completed contacts on all 29 Amateur Radio
    bands. Justin is a bit of an old school guy — he worked K3MF on CW, and
    now he’s
    awaiting a QSL card. A paper QSL card.

    Justin said he started working his way through the bands at the high end
    of the
    spectrum, those allocations above 24 GHz. “By the time 2002 came around,
    I had
    managed to have built enough millimetre-wave gear to complete formal
    QSOs, with
    QSL cards, on all the bands at the time,” he told ARRL. “On the bands
    above 24 GHz
    I had to build two stations and pass one off to K2AD, W4WWQ, or WA4RTS to
    be on
    the other ends of these VUCCs and QSOs.”

    To consider it a valid contact, Justin said he used the New England Weak Signal
    Group (NEWS) guideline of at least a 1-kilometer distance on each band.
    “While at
    first this seems very easy, very few hams have even had a QSO across a benchtop
    on bands like 134 GHz, much less over 1 kilometre,” he said.

    By 2003, Justin had confirmed contacts (and paper QSLs) on each band from
    1.8 MHz
    to 300 GHz. He submitted his cards to NEWS, which presented him with a
    framed
    award and plaque — the very first “Worked All Bands Award.”

    Since then, a few ham bands have changed. For example, the 2.5-millimeter
    band
    shifted from 120 GHz to 122 GHz, and the 2-millimeter band moved down from
    145 GHz to 134 GHz. “In order to stay current with the award, I built
    gear for
    those new allocations as well and made QSOs, VUCCs, and more DX,” he said.





    NOAA 'TAPS' the KEG

    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has named Kenneth
    Graham,
    WX 4 KEG, as head of the National Hurricane Centre in Miami.

    WX4KEG picked up the reins from Deputy/Acting Director Ed Rappaport.

    Preparations at the NHC continue ahead of the 2018 hurricane season,
    which begins
    on June 1, following 2017's historic tropical weather season.





    Just last Thursday, April 26, saw International Girls in Information and
    Telecommunication Technologies Day.

    "Girls Can Do ICT!" was the theme of International Girls in Information and
    Telecommunication Technologies Day, an initiative of the International
    Telecommunication Union and aimed to "create a global environment that empowers
    and encourages girls and young women to consider careers in the growing
    ICT field,
    " the ITU said.

    International Girls in ICT Day will be celebrated every year on the fourth
    Thursday of April.

    This will run from 00 Zulu Saturday, June 2 to 2359 Zulu
    June 3. This event is hosted by the battleship New Jersey
    amateur radio club and involves over 100 museum ships
    registered for the event from around the world.

    This is not a contest but rather an event to highlight
    the
    work done in preserving these historic vessels and the Amateur
    clubs who will be operating these stations. On some, the
    original radio equipment will be used, some requiring
    AM mode.

    GOOGLE; “MUSEUM SHIPS WEEKEND” Bands and frequencies are
    mentioned on the site, including for PSK 31 users.

    If you’re lucky enough to contact 15 of the registered vessels
    and it is confirmed by cross checking logbook entries
    you are
    eligible to apply for a certificate.

    A visit to the site will provide the latest list of
    ships and
    call signs registered for the event.

    The RADAR club of Rockhampton and District will be activating
    Museum Ship HMAS Gladstone for the first time for
    this event
    and invites all operators in the Gladstone and Central
    Queensland area on the weekend to make contact and get
    involved.

    VK4FRAL is coordinating HMAS Gladstone operations and
    more
    operators are required.

    The HMAS Gladstone, A Fremantle Class Patrol Boat
    launched in
    1984 and retired in 2007 is likely to be the only
    museum ship
    in Australia involved in the event.

    Royal Wedding - Prince Harry to Ms. Meghan Markle

    Something special for our loyal Royalists listening in, it's the first
    use of the
    'GR9' prefix in the United Kingdom

    GR9RW 19th – 23rd May 2018

    Ofcom has issued this unique ‘Special Event Call sign’ to be used from
    19th to 23rd
    May inclusive, and we believe it may be the first time that the ‘GR9’
    prefix has
    ever been active.

    The special callusing GR9RW will be active for five days in May to mark the
    occasion of the Royal Wedding between HRH. Prince Harry and Ms. Megan Markle
    due to take place on 19th May 2018 at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor
    Castle in
    England.

    GR9RW will primarily use SSB and CW, and additionally FM on the VHF and
    UHF bands.

    Two HF stations and one VHF station will be active and will cover all
    bands from
    80m to 70cm.

    A very special QSL card will be sent on request.

    THE QNEWS WORK BENCH - the nuts and volts report – Measure Twice cut Once.

    The VK4RDS Dstar repeater sited at Maleny around 60 km north of Brisbane
    near the
    Sunshine coast has been converted to MMDVM on VHF repeater TX is 147.7375
    MHz and
    RX is 146.1375 mhz.

    This means the one repeater can accept inputs on Dstar, P25, DMR and
    Yaesu Fusion
    and NXDN is coming soon.

    There are dedicated links out to DMR, Fusion and P25 and Dstar can be
    linked and
    unlinked to various Dstar repeaters or reflectors.

    Dstar is linked to DCS028 Q,

    APCO 25 is connected to talk group 10400 with NAC of 293.

    The DMR is linked to connected XLX 389 Master and on the BrandMeister
    BM_Australia_5051 network.

    Yaesu Fusion is connected to 04201-AU YSF001-1st WW YSF

    The UHF is in the process of becoming a MMDVM repeater as well and
    hopefully will
    be operational in another couple of weeks. Some antenna modifications
    will also be
    taking place in the very near future

    WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- BIKER RADIO

    Amateur Radio is on a roll here in Australia, well certainly in VK3.

    Now when we say "roll" we do mean roll.

    Hams are rolling out their bicycles, their trikes and even their
    velomobiles and
    going places. Of course they're not going anywhere without their trusty
    rigs.

    Members of a month-old online group called Pedal Radio have been
    promoting the
    combination of push power and foot power with the idea that fitness leads to
    fellowship - and probably more than a few good QSOs. There is even a
    homebrew
    aspect to the group, as some members share their tips for building your
    own trike.

    Most of the members right now are in VK3.

    If you want to try talking coast-to-coast while
    you're....coasting.....this group
    wouldn't mind if you rolled on in.

    Send a post to group's address pedalradio at groups dot io.

    WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- DIGITAL

    A lot of hams tend to discount the newer digital modes, mainly for the reasoning
    that they depend on the Internet to link to reflectors, or master servers
    in the
    case of DMR, somehow making them not ham radio. That argument usually
    extends to
    the contingency scenario of a loss of infrastructure, such as telephone, Internet,
    cell phones, etc.

    Those same hams seem to think that a DMR repeater becomes a paper weight; nothing
    can be further from the truth.

    Writing in a recent edition of the ARES newsletter, Greg Horine, N9PBD, Trustee,
    KD9JNB Multi-Mode Digital Repeater Southwestern Illinois Digital Group
    says 'DMR
    (as we use it) is a Time Domain Multiple-Access (TDMA) protocol that
    provides
    two voice/data channels in the same spectrum space as a narrowband
    analogue voice
    channel. A DMR repeater will continue to function as a conventional (non-Internet
    linked) repeater if the Internet is not available, repeating both
    timeslots the
    same way it would with the network up.

    DMR provides emergency communicators with twice the number of channels in
    the
    same bandwidth (actually less) as an analogue repeater. It also allows emergency
    coordinators and communicators to segment their traffic by talkgroups, providing
    even more capability





    YLs Around the World

    When in Doubt Blame the Women, introducing Peggy Whitson, formerly KC5ZTD.

    Peggy was commander of an all women flight crew aboard the International
    Space
    Station.

    In 2017, Whitson became the first female astronaut to command the International
    Space Station, twice. On April 24, 2017, Whitson broke the record for
    most total
    days spent in space by any NASA astronaut, at more than 534 days.

    Her all female flight crew were famously blamed by the Russian space
    agency chief
    Anatoly Perminov when their Soyez craft suffered a ballistic re-entry and landed
    400 kilometres off-course. It was later established that the re-entry was caused
    by a problem that had occurred with Soyuz craft on previous flights.

    FEMA, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency has invited the whole USA
    community to participate in a national level Exercise. FEMA is an ARRL Partner.


    FEMA is conducting its 2018 National Level Exercise for the whole
    community and
    invites other government agencies, representatives and organizations in the
    private sector, communities, and individuals to participate in this historic
    exercise.

    The 2018 National Level Exercise (NLE), based on a mid-Atlantic hurricane
    scenario, represents one key step towards implementing FEMA's recently released
    2018-2022 Strategic Plan.

    The ARRL has had a longstanding relationship with the Federal Emergency
    Management Agency, formalized in its most recent memorandum of
    understanding.

    The 2018 National Level Exercise, which takes place April 30-May 11, is
    the first
    major exercise following the release of the plan. The exercise will test lessons
    learned from the 2017 hurricane season.
