 IN OUR 24th YEAR OF NON STOP NEWS

  
 Amateur Radio in Space pioneer SK

 
 THIS & MORE IN THIS EDITION OF NEWS FROM THE
 WIRELESS INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA 2019
 AND FOR WEEK OF APRIL 21 2019




 Amateur Radio in Space pioneer astronaut Owen Garriott, W5LFL, SK

 ARRL reports the US astronaut who pioneered the use of Amateur Radio 
 to make contacts from space â€ö Owen K. Garriott, W5LFL â€ö died April 15
 at his home in Huntsville, Alabama. He was 88 

 The ARRL news story reads in part:  

 Garriottâ€Ös ham radio activity ushered in the formal establishment of
 Amateur Radio in space, first as SAREX â€ö the Shuttle Amateur Radio
 Experiment, and later as ARISS â€ö Amateur Radio on the International
 Space Station.

 “Owen Garriott was a good friend and an incredible astronaut,†fellow
 astronaut Buzz Aldrin tweeted. “I have a great sadness as I learn of
 his passing today. Godspeed Owen.â€

 An Oklahoma native, Garriott â€ö an electrical engineer â€ö spent 2 months
 aboard the Skylab space station in 1973 and 10 days aboard Spacelab-1
 during a 1983 Space Shuttle Columbia mission. It was during the latter
 mission that Garriott thrilled radio amateurs around the world by
 making the first contacts from space. Thousands of hams listened on
 2-meter FM, hoping to hear him or to make a contact. Garriott ended up
 working stations around the globe, among them such notables as the
 late King Hussein, JY1, of Jordan, and the late US Senator
 Barry Goldwater, K7UGA. He also made the first CW contact from space.

 His Son, Richard Garriott, W5KWQ, was a private space traveller to 
 the ISS, flown there by the Russian Federal Space Agency, and he also
 carried ham radio into space.

 Good morning everyone, this is Grant VK5GR one again on behalf of the
 Amateur Radio Experimenters Group.

 Over the past couple of weeks, I have been talking about a new event
 on the Amateur Radio calendar - designed to get people experimenting
 on air again. The FreeDV QSO party is now only 1 week away, starting
 at 0300 UTC Saturday 27th! 

 What is FreeDV you may ask? 

 It is a home grown digital mode, created by David VK5DGR. It is 
 designed for use on HF, allowing us to transmit voice signals in less
 than 1kHz of bandwidth, at signal to noise ratios that are equivalent
 to SSB. If you have never heard it before, here is a sample of the
 signal to listen for:
 
 So what is the FreeDV QSO party? It is a gathering of people on air
 who like experimenting with FreeDV. You can collect points by working
 other FreeDV stations which will qualify you for the FreeDV award 
 presented by AREG. Whats more,  by getting more people on the air at
 the same time using FreeDV, it makes it easier for people to
 experiment with it! Look around the following frequencies to help find
 stations using FreeDV during the event:

  1870kHz
  3630kHz
  7180kHz
 14130kHz
 21180kHz and
 28330kHz.

 During the QSO party, you can work each station once every 3 hours per
 band too, earning points and multipliers along the way. 

 If you want to know more, head on over to the AREG Website,
 www.areg.org.au where a full copy of the rules is available.
 There are also links to the website that you can download the
 software from, with versions available for Windows, Apple and Linux
 users. Dont forget, If you can use FT8 today then you can just as
 easily use FreeDV!

 We hope to see you all on the air next week using FreeDV, so place the
 FreeDV QSO party in your calendar today.
 
 73 from Grant VK5GR

 Ham radio to help during polls in West Bengal

 Ham Radio has been used at various polling booths over the years but
 arguably not to THIS extent

 The Deccan Herald reports in a unique initiative, the Election
 Commission and the Ministry of Communications have granted permission
 to the use of Amateur Radio for election-related communications 

 Amateur radio will be used 31 areas across four Lok Sabha seats in 
 West Bengal where there is no mobile network coverage. The ham radio
 operators will be conveying poll-related information from the related
 polling booths to the concerned authorities on polling days.

 AUSTRIA

 Daniel EA4GPZ / M0HXM has published an overview of the papers to be
 discussed at the IARU Region 1 meeting in Vienna next weekend
 April 27-28 

 His post, which you can find on www.southgatearc.org is an overview
 of proposals to be presented during this meeting.

 The proposals can be found in the conference documents. There are a
 total of 64 documents for the meeting, so a review of all of them or
 an in-depth read would be a huge work.

 SWEDEN

 Sweden's nation amateur radio society, the SSA, has set up a separate
 youth section led by Oliver, SA 5O DJ

 The young people themselves have already taken the main responsibility
 for the business, with their own budget and their own business plan.
 Through the establishment of a youth section, this becomes clearer and
 hopefully the business becomes even more visible.

 Currently, for this Easter weekend, the NOTA camp in Finnish Salo
 will have thirteen Swedish young people participating.

 In August, the SSA will send three participants to the IARU Region 1
 Youth Camps Youngsters On The Air in Bulgaria.

 BELGIUM

 F/ON6JUN/P to commemorate 75th anniversary of D-Day

 Belgium's UBA reports major commemorations are planned to commemorate
 the D-Day landing of the Allies on June 6, 1944 

 Rewinding back to the occasion of the 50-year commemoration in 1994,
 members of the UBA departments NNV and GBN started an annual
 expedition to Ranville on the historic Pegasus bridge.

 Corporal Tappenden landed there with the paratroopers of the
 British 6th Airborne on the night of June 5-6, 1944 near two bridges.
 Tappenden sent the historic "Ham and Jam" to England with his radio
 station WS 38. This ham and jam code meant that the bridges were
 intact and in their possession.

 This was the start for the Normandy landing on June 6. 

 The GBN and NNV departments donated a similar WS 38 radio to the
 museum, with which corporal Tappenden sent this message. The son of
 Corporal Tappenden sent the message back into the air with this radio
 station in 2004. 

 This year the expedition will continue with departure from Belgium
 on Friday, May 31 and return on June 7. UBA members Xavier ON4ALY,
 Fernand ON6UF and Hans ON3HBB are present and work together with
 RSGB sections that operate from the places where the ships left for
 the Normandy landings. 

 Want to know more re the special radio station F/ON6JUN/P that
 broadcasts from this unique location?

 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

 Hamvention® has announced that it will open their gates to all,
 without charge, on the final day of the annual gathering in
 Xenia, Ohio.

 Hamvention 2019 General Chair Jack Gerbs, WB8SCT, said the idea
 is to encourage the curious to see what attracts some 30,000 visitors
 to Hamvention. “We have decided to open the doors to Hamvention to
 the public on Sunday, May 19, without buying a ticket,†Gerbs said.
 “This will make it a little easier and cheaper for someone with just
 a little interest in Hamvention to see what all the excitement is
 about.â€





 MEXICO

 55th Anniversary of IARU Region 2

 On April 16, 1964, the 1st. Pan-American Amateur Radio Congress was
 inaugurated in Mexico City in order to create what is known today as
 IARU Region 2 

 Delegates from Argentina, Bermuda, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica,
 Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Peru, the
 United States and Venezuela were present.

 IARU President, Herbert Hoover Jr., W 6 ZH, was very clear in his
 speech when stating the objectives of the new organization:

 “First establish the bases for a permanent organization to promote
  the interests of radio amateurs in the Western Hemisphere;

  Second...get to know each other better, obtain a deeper perspective
  and strengthen international friendship ties..."

 He encouraged present societies to participate actively with their
 regulators to get the votes needed in the coming World Radio
 Conference, where it was imperative to defend the bands allocated to
 we radio amateurs.

 THE QNEWS WORK BENCH - the nuts and volts report –
                        Measure Twice cut Once. 
  
 Well this is actually off the workbench and undergoing trials

 Thanks to smart speakers, audio documentaries are about to evolve to
 the next level.
 
 Newspapers are rapidly moving into the audio documentary space,
 previously dominated by radio.
 
 At a session on smart speakers and podcasts at Radiodays Europe,
 Steve Ahern, reporting for radioinfo.com.au heard from major British
 newspapers who showcased their audio offerings and was blown away by
 the experience.
 
 There were good simple ideas, such as the Guardianâ€Ös Voice Lab
 offering, a sports quiz for smart speakers based on the yearâ€Ös
 sports news. Included in the quiz are replays of audio grabs
 that were used in the original reports.

 The Financial Times has been producing audio content for ten years as
 part of its transition from print to digital. What excites FT is that
 there is a large listenership for their audio and that many of those
 listeners are young people who they may not have reached by their
 traditional text based outputs.
 
 The FT is focusing on three areas of interest: 
 Lean back and listen audio content
 Engagement with ‘nativeâ€Ö commercial content
 Interactive audio (Q&As and interactive documentaries)
 
 The FTâ€Ös Hidden Cities is “an entirely new form of storytelling,â€
 according to the FTâ€Ös Alistair Mackie. You can try it too here
 on the link in this weekâ€Ös news, but it is best experienced on your
 smart speaker.

 https://www.ft.com/hiddenberlin

 Once you've listened, imagine how this interactive documentary is put
 together. It is not a linear experience (although the whole 90 mins
 can be listened to in one go if you want), it is recorded in segments,
 then a series of interactive logic steps is overlaid on the audio
 segments. Then a range of interactive questions are planned, which
 trigger different audio segments as requested. There are also
 questions and jokes to interact with the listener. After the audio
 was recorded and edited, there must have been a lot more additional 
 work done to overlay the interactive elements.

 It's a very impressive piece of work.

 WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS - FINAL FRONTIER

 Australian CubeSat to use 76 GHz

 The IARU Satellite Coordination Panel has announced the amateur radio
 frequencies for the Australian 76 GHz CubeSat CUAVA-1 that is expected
 to launch in July 2019 from Japan into a 400km orbit. 

 CUAVA-1 is a 3U CubeSat and the first CubeSat project of the new
 ARC Training Centre for CubeSats, Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs),
 and their Applications (CUAVA), whose primary aim is the education
 and training of people, mostly PhD students, for the space sector.

 With significant heritage from the QB50 CubeSat INSPIRE-2,
 CUAVA-1 is a 3U CubeSat that will link with the international
 radio amateur community for outreach, training, and increased
 data downloads, observe the Earth with a novel multi-spectral imager,
 use a GPS instrument to explore radio occultation and the reception of
 GPS signals scattered off the Earth as well as provide a backup
 determination of the CubeSat location, investigate plasma environment
 and associated space weather with radiation detectors, and explore
 the performance of a new communications payload. 

 Downlink telemetry on 9k6 GMSK AX25 on UHF and high speed downlinks
 on 2.4 GHz, 5.6 GHz and 76 GHz.

 These frequencies have been coordinated by the IARU: 
 Downlinks: 437.075 MHz, 2404.000 MHz, 5840 MHz and 76.800 GHz 
 Uplinks: 145.875 MHz, 2404.000 MHz and 5660.000 MHz
