This is WIA President Scott Williams VK3KJ, and I just wanted to extend a warm Christmas message to all WIA members and listeners of the broadcast.

I want to take this opportunity to personally thank all of our members for your continued support of the WIA throughout 2025. The WIA continues to work hard in the background to support our members and the Amateur Radio community in so many ways.

There is always work to do, but the in-kind contribution from so many volunteers at the WIA is outstanding and so greatly appreciated.
There continues to be a strong sense of purpose in the WIA, enriched by 115 years of deep history.

This purpose is driven by volunteers that care, that want to advance the Institute and are proud of the contribution they make.
The WIA is only what it is because of our members, and we thank every member for the contribution you make, small or large.

On a personal note, I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and safe and prosperous new year.

Please also raise a glass and have a drink to reflect on all of those silent keys that left us this year. Our thoughts are with those families and friends.

To the Board of Directors, thank you for your ongoing work, to our volunteers we are deeply indebted and to you Graham and all the contributors to the broadcast, thank you for delivering an outstanding broadcast week after week and year after year.

Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year.

73 to you all.
Scott VK3KJ.

EDUCATION.

The combined Adelaide-based amateur radio training group, drawing on assessors from the Adelaide Hills Amateur Radio Society, North East Radio Club and the Elizabeth Amateur Radio Club, has delivered an outstanding training and assessment program throughout 2025.

Since the beginning of the year, the team has successfully guided
107 candidates through intensive one-day training and examination sessions, along with a number of upgrade examinations for independently prepared candidates. Recent courses have been conducted at the RAAF Association clubrooms at Hawthorn, providing a consistent and well-supported venue.

A major highlight was a collaboration with Mitcham Council, supported by a council grant, which enabled two public information sessions, two training courses and a field day for newly qualified Foundation licensees. This coordinated approach resulted in 20 new amateurs qualifying in a single weekend, clearly demonstrating the effectiveness of combining outreach, structured training and practical on-air experience. The information sessions proved particularly valuable, with many attendees having had little or no previous contact with amateur radio and limited
awareness of licensing requirements or the breadth of the hobby.

Building on this success, the VK5 training group is now working with Adelaide Air Cadet squadrons to introduce amateur radio to young people with an interest in technology and aviation. Following the training of several university lecturers, discussions are also underway to explore opportunities for engaging university students. Plans are in place to work with the caravan and camping community in the coming year. Collaboration with local councils has been a key enabler, with Mitcham Council distributing information through community newspapers and electronic
communications to its 68,000 residents, significantly extending the reach of amateur radio into the wider community.

"Is it snowing where you are, Mr. Thiessen?

On a quiet shoreline in Southern Maryland, a simple sentence made history and the world hasnt stopped talking since. Now, 125 years later, Cobb Island invites you to stand where it all began and witness the moment that launched the wireless age.

On Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2025, the Charles County Amateur Radio Club (CCARC) HOSTED a public celebration commemorating the 125th anniversary of the first successful wireless transmission of the human voice, conducted by Canadian inventor Reginald Fessenden on Cobb Island in 1900.

It was on Cobb Island, on Dec. 23, 1900, that Canadian inventor Reginald Fessenden, working on behalf of the U.S. Weather Bureau, accomplished what was then believed to be impossible: he successfully transmitted a brief, intelligible voice message over the air from a transmitter site on the island to a receiver nearly a mile away. His message, reportedly One, two, three, four. Is it snowing where you are, Mr. Thiessen? marked the first known instance of radiotelephony and laid the foundation for modern AM broadcasting.

WE WANT HOW MANY RADIOS?

400

The RSGB is giving away 400 FM radio receiver kits and Morse code tutor kits as part of its British Science Week 2026 activities.

The kits are available for school, university, Scout, Girl guiding and Cadet groups as well as other youth-related Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics groups in the UK. The project is being delivered thanks to a partnership between the RSGB Outreach Team, the Radio Communications Foundation and the RSGB Legacy Fund.





Israel's Amateur Radio Operators Used Quiet Diplomacy, Saved Lives:

In a world where trust has become a scarce resource, amateur radio operators offer something different: human communication that connects people around the world who share the same passion.

In a digital age in which screens shape reality and algorithms steer public opinion, there exists another arena, quiet and largely unnoticed, where a very different kind of communication takes place. It is a world in which private individuals, enthusiasts, connect countries, break down barriers and build bridges that at times precede official policy.

On October 7, 2023, an amateur radio operator named Shlomo Goldstein, who was trapped in a safe room in Kibbutz Kissufim, managed to call for help via a fellow radio amateur in Ramat Gan. He was saved.

In Israel, this contribution has received official recognition.

The Knesset has acknowledged amateur radio operators as emergency communications operators, and dedicated legislation allows them to establish antennas and stations in their homes with minimal regulatory barriers. The law is enshrined in the state's statute book and reflects a deep understanding of their national and humanitarian contribution.





This item takes us to Japan, where researchers studying the ionosphere have discovered that the cooling of temperatures up there may cause major shifts in our ability to communicate by radio. Here is that story as I filed originally to NEWSLINE.

"The continued cooling of the ionosphere 100 km above sea level may someday disrupt and reshape shortwave communications, according to scientists at Kyushu University in Japan. The drop in ionospheric temperatures is the result of rising CO2 levels - the same phenomenon identified as the source of global warming down here on Earth.

The researchers' study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, found that the cooling ionosphere lowers the air density and speeds up wind circulation - two factors that have an impact on satellite orbits and space debris. In addition, the ability to communicate by radio also changes as a result of small-scale plasma irregularities. Shortwave radio, radio broadcasting, air traffic control and maritime communication could all experience a variety of major changes, the scientists said.

The study leader, Huixin Liu of Kyushu's Faculty of Science, told the Physics World website: [quote] "This may be good news for ham radio amateurs, as you will likely receive more signals from faraway countries more often. For radio communications, however, especially at HF and VHF frequencies employed for aviation, ships and rescue operations, it means more noise and frequent disruption in communication and hence safety." [endquote]

This is Jason Daniels VK2LAW.

In the long term, the telecommunications industry may need to respond to these changes by either adjusting their frequencies or changing the design of their equipment.





In the UK, the Commonwealth Contest Community and the Radio Society of Great Britain are grieving the loss of an advocate and a friend -- an active ham who twice served the radio society as its president.

Although he made his living in the world of high-tech as a solid-state physicist, Bob Whelan, G3PJT, was, in so many ways, a full time radio amateur.

He received his licence in 1961, focusing on CW operating on HF and LF. As his enthusiasm grew for contesting, he made a name for himself as a supporter of the Commonwealth Contest, a CW contest for operators in British Commonwealth countries such as New Zealand, Canada, here in Australia and of course, the UK. He also built an online presence for its widely scattered participants, eventually writing a book about the contest's evolution.

Bob had also been actively involved in the IARU and the First Class Operators Club, with a growing involvement in the Radio Society of Great Britain over the years. His participation grew from being a volunteer on the society's HF Committee to becoming president, serving from 2002 to 2003 and again from 2013 to 2014.

Bob became a Silent Key on 4 December.

REPEATER NEWS


"The UHF repeater at Mt Ginini, ACT, has suffered interference on its
433.050MHz input channel for many years as this is within the ISM band
we share with garage remote controls and other devices.

Canberra Region Amateur Radio Club committee in conjunction with the
CRARC Repeater Group has completed the design and planning of a
frequency change to implement a 7MHz split with the new input frequency
to be 431.050MHz with 91.5Hz CTCSS tone as at present. The transmit
frequency of 438.050MHz, with 91.5Hz tone, will not change. We are
planning a visit to the site in January to implement this change and
users of this repeater will need to reprogram their radios accordingly.

Travel to Ginini is always subject to the vagaries of weather and fires
so the final date will be notified closer to the time.

WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- ASTRONOMY (and Wireless Weather)

DXLook has released a new D-RAP (D-Region Absorption Prediction) view that helps amateur radio operators understand and visualize HF absorption caused by solar X-ray flares in real time.

D-region absorption is a major cause of sudden daytime HF blackouts, particularly on lower-frequency bands. DXLooks new D-RAP view presents existing D-region absorption data in a band-aware, geographic format, allowing operators to visually assess where and on which HF bands absorption may be occurring at a given moment.

The D-RAP view is primarily driven by official data from the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Centre, using the global frequency for 1 dB absorption product based on GOES satellite X-ray measurements. This dataset identifies, for each region of the Earth, the highest HF frequency expected to experience significant D-layer absorption at the current time.

Military brinkmanship between the Presidents of the USA and Venezuela
has led to an increase in electronic warfare in the region.

An escalating standoff between the United States and Venezuela has led both countries militaries to jam satellite navigation signals in the Caribbean to guard against a potential attack, data show, putting air and sea traffic in the region at greater risk of a collision or accident.

At least some of the U.S. warships that have deployed to the Caribbean in recent months have been jamming GPS signals in their vicinity, according to an analysis of data provided by Stanford University and a U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters.

The Trump administration says the warships, which include the Navys most modern aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford, are targeting drug trafficking to the United States orchestrated by the Venezuelan government.

WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- RESCUE RADIO

FLORIDA


Alachua County's volunteer ham radio team -- serving the County Emergency Operations Centre as its backup disaster communications unit -- has achieved top US national honours in the 2025 Field Day competition.

This long-running event, held annually since 1935, challenges teams across the country to demonstrate excellence in emergency-ready communications under demanding, real-world conditions. Competing against 160 Emergency Operations Centreaffiliated teams nationwide, the Alachua County group rose to the top with an impressive score of 9,093 points -- more than 1,200 points ahead of their nearest competitor.

Their setup featured four fully operational stations running simultaneously, along with an additional public "Get On The Air" station that introduced visitors to long-distance radio communication without the use of mobile phones or the Internet.

Pan Am 103 was flying from Heathrow to New York when a bomb exploded in the skies above the town, killing all 259 passengers and crew on board as well as 11 people on the ground.

As Anne and Ross Campbell were watching the news on the night of 21 December 1988, they already had "go-bags" ready.

The Ayrshire-based couple were part of the Radio Amateurs' Emergency Network (Raynet), a UK-wide radio communications service.

As part of the search and rescue efforts, hundreds of volunteers arrived at the scene to help -- including many from Raynet. Their expertise -- and equipment -- was desperately needed. Ross said: "Strathclyde Police radios had their own frequency. "Dumfries and Galloway Police had a separate one. "Every police service had their own, as did ambulance services, so they couldn't communicate with one another." Each search party at Lockerbie was teamed with a Raynet operator who would send messages back to Lockerbie Academy, the disaster control room.
