WIA Conference Weekend 2020
Billeting & Keynotes
The organising committee of the WIA Conference Weekend 2020 is looking for expressions of interest from Southern amateurs and f
amilies who would be prepared to billet people during the weekend of 8-10 May 2020.
This is a great way to show Tasmanian hospitality for Conference attendees and help reduce the cost of their visit. It is also
a great way to meet people who you may only talk with on the radio.
If you would like to express interest in billeting one or more people then please email wia2020conference @ gmail.com.
The WIA Annual Conference 2020 is being held in Hobart at the Best Western Hotel and the theme is Antarctic Gateway.
The weekend features many visits and tours of Antarctic related locations and museums.
The presentations on the Saturday afternoon are coming together with a great focus on Antarctica and radio and can be viewed on
the WIA website.
https://www.wia.org.au/joinwia/wia/2020agm/
The Saturday night conference dinner usually features a keynote speaker and we are interested if you have recently heard a spea
ker at an event or presentation who has talked about something related to Antarctica and or radio and you think they would be e
ntertaining and interesting for the conference attendees.
Please email through your ideas to wia2020conference@gmail.com.

Ham Events in Tasmania for 2020
The year 2020 is going to be huge for our VK7 community, with three big events on the calendar: Meet the Voice in March, WIA Co
nference hosted in Hobart in May, and Hamfest in November!
Meet the Voice will be held over the third weekend in March, with Sunday being the main event, held at the Ross Recreation Cent
re as per last year. Attendees are advised that we no longer have permission to camp at the recreation grounds, so please make
alternative arrangements.
The only scheduled activities will occur on Sunday, with attendees given the freedom to catch up with friends old and new casua
lly in the couple of days prior, as is usually the case.
Sunday will include the annual announcement of the Sewing Circle award, and submissions are requested for presentations or work
shops to be delivered on the day. Feedback from the 2019 event has been taken on board, and a barbecue will be arranged for the
day. Any enquiries regarding Meet the Voice can be directed to Dani at VK7FREQ@gmail.com.
Information regarding the WIA conference and Hamfest will be delivered in the near future.

Northern Tasmanian Amateur Radio Club Incorporated
www.ntarc.net
Another week down and we are now also one week closer to Christmas, so you all know what that means.
We commence this week with the news that if you were hoping this yearâ€Ös Christmas stocking might contain the makings for the
little 40 meter QRP rig that has been the focus of intense internet and homebrew activity for the past 5-6 years, the BITX40 (p
ronounced By-Tex 40), you are probably heading for disappointment on Christmas Day, unless Santa had the foresight to get one f
or you some time back. The designer of the rig, Ashhar Fahan VU3ESE, has recently announced that the BITX40 has now been retire
d, to allow him and the womenâ€Ös collective that assembles the boards to concentrate fully on further improving its big brothe
r, the HF multiband uBITX (that is “u” as in micro By Tex), the Antuino network analyser and some future developments that
are in the pipeline.
Love it or hate it, the BITX40 spurred renewed interest in QRP radio and homebrewing like probably few other offerings in recen
t years, taking any difficulty out of assembling a working circuit board but leaving the builder with the not-inconsiderable ta
sk of housing it in a suitable enclosure, hooking up suitable peripherals and providing it with the means to get on air. In tha
t process many encountered some difficulties in getting the little rig operational, having to tackle issues such as suitable po
wer supply, RF feedback, microphonics, sound antenna coupling practice and the like. It certainly proved a unique learning oppo
rtunity for those that persevered and I guess also for many who found it too demanding and abandoned the project.
It also spawned a huge international co-operative online effort to design improvements and to mentor those who were having prob
lems in getting their particular BITX40 to work. The good news is that the international co-operation is continuing, meaning th
at online assistance is not only still available for those who have been late to commence their BITX40 project, or indeed the e
arlier designs of VU3ESE, but is also there for those tackling the more capable uBITX.
The membership of that online group, BITX20@groups.io, today stands at a total of 7594, with members coming from virtually ever
y country on Earth. That represents a tremendous resource in anybody's terms. Such numbers and the resulting global spread of m
embers and knowhow usually means that a question or problem posted to the group in the evening has probably several tips or sug
gestions there waiting for the originator the following morning. In earlier days of both BITX40 and uBITX projects, the sheer v
olume of group traffic was itself quite daunting but in more recent times that has slowed to more manageable volumes as the des
igns have matured.
So, we say goodbye to the little BITX40 but we felt we couldnâ€Öt let its passing go without acknowledging both its' and VU3ESE
â€Ös major contribution to amateur radio in general and QRP and homebrewing in particular.
That is probably a perfect segue into our regular report from President Idris VK7ZIR on the technical session held last Wednesd
ay evening 20 November, as the technical sessions owe at least some of the stimulus for their beginning from a few members expe
rimentation with the BITX40.
“Tech session held last Wednesday turned out to be a test equipment session", says Idris.
"Peter VK7KPC showed us a new version of the NanoVNA he had just acquired. This new model comes with a nice case and is very co
mpact. Peter also had a resistance decade box from several decades ago.
Ross VK7ALH, never one to disappoint, staggered in under the weight of a Tektronix type 564B storage oscilloscope (with auto er
ase) chassis with type 2B67 time base and type 3A6 Dual Trace Amplifier plug-ins. This particular instrument had spent its life
at one of the larger industrial complexes in the Tamar Valley, and was in excellent condition with some corrosion on the metal
transistors, probably due to the atmosphere at that plant. It is a hybrid instrument with thermionic valves in the modules and
solid state electronics in the chassis. All integrated circuits and transistors are socketed for ease of maintenance.
Idris VK7ZIR brought in a Philips Wobbulator, instantly recognisable to Bernie VK7BR, Ebenezer VK7AT and Peter VK7PD, all with
television servicing backgrounds.
Andrew VK7DW displayed a model of an AMSAT Fox-1 Satellite. It came as a flat pack cardboard model at 1 to 1 scaling, and you c
ould hold it in one hand. Very detailed and colourful. Apparently Andrew had lots of help from 6 year old harmonic Martin in it
s construction.
We then paused to watch a screening of the latest TX Factor episode.
Peter VK7PD then demonstrated a home brew signal generator capable of spot frequencies into the micro wave spectrum. Built into
a diecast box with the main element a DDS module from ZL2BKC called a ZLPLL, and inbuilt OCXO or VCXO if disciplined from an e
xternal reference. This unit was kindly lent to us by Richard VK7ZBX, who had made a fine job of its construction. The cover wa
s carefully removed and the internal layout admired.
Yet another birthday had fallen on a Tech Session night. This time it was Andreâ€Ö VK7ZAB who was given the treatment with thre
e sausage rolls and three candles, and of course the accompanying choral cacophony!
A very full enjoyable evening.
See you next week.
73, Idris VK7ZIRť
Thanks Idris. Sounds like another great night enjoyed by all attendees.
Membership notice as mentioned earlier the 2020 members fees were set at the November meeting. If you have forgotten, your memb
ership for 2019 expires on 31 December. Fees for 2020 are a Full voting member $35.00 pa, family member an additional $5.00 per
person for the year. A renewal notice and covering letter will be sent out in coming days to the email address held on file. I
f you have changed your address in the past 12 months probably a good idea to let the Treasurer know.
Coming events
Technical sessions – The next session will be on Wednesday 27 November and will commence at the usual time of 7.30 pm, runnin
g through to 10.30 pm, at the Club room Archer Street, Rocherlea. Pop in catch up with fellow amateurs, bring along something t
hat you are currently building or just ask questions? You might also be able to answer some from other attendees. That is what
the evenings are all about, anything of a technical or near-technical nature, however defined, is fair game. Endless tea and co
ffee along with biscuits is available for a small gold coin donation.
End of year Christmas break-up function - This year we will be having our Christmas event on Wednesday 11 December. This would
be our normal meeting night but as usual for this time of the year we forego a meeting and party instead. This year we will be
partying-away, so to speak, as a venue has been booked. It will be held at the Commercial Hotel, George Street, Launceston. Mee
t time 6.30 for 7.00 pm but for those workers you can always arrive earlier and get comfortable before the happy crowd arrives.
This is the venue at which we held our mid-year dinner and those that attended really enjoyed it. So please note that diary. A
list of attendees has already commenced and that register can be found next the club sign in book. So if you have decided you
will be attending please note your name or names on that list.
Coffee mornings – A reminder that our twice-weekly coffee sessions are normally held every Monday and Friday commencing at 10
.00 am and running through till about noon or longer if members want to linger longer. Please remember that aside from the good
company, freely offered philosophical views, maybe less than expert political analysis, tall tales and genuinely good fare on
offer, these coffee events are normally a good opportunity to collect your QSL cards. Currently we have no cards awaiting colle
ction. As I remind all every week, please demonstrate your appreciation of all the effort that goes into operating the club and
its facilities and the other services we provide, by joining us at these sessions, enjoying the company, coffee and the cake a
nd leaving a gold coin or two, or even a small bank note, in the jar to assist in our on-going operations. I donâ€Öt know of an
y other venue in Launceston, or further afield for that matter, where you can get endless coffee, tea and eats for a donation o
f this miniscule amount.
Finally
A reminder to all members that if you have any items of news you would like added to our weekly roundup, then please email them
to the following
address ntarc.emails @ gmail.com
However, it would be appreciated if any news could be sent no later than 17:00 hours on the Friday prior to broadcast, to allow
its timely insertion into the NTARC segment.
That gives all a chance to get the NTARC segment together and off to Hobart in time for collation into the VK7 Broadcast, inclu
ding frantically arranging other connections when our NBN fails, which is quite often. Your continued cooperation in this regar
d will be gratefully appreciated and do much to lower my blood pressure.
As always, I look forward to seeing you at Rocherlea.

TECHNICAL ARTICLE
Typical Public Exposure To Radio Waves Against The Australian Standard
The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) has returned serve to the myriad submissions made to th
e House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications Inquiry into 5G in Australia that state 5G is a health threat t
o humans and fauna.
"Higher frequencies do not mean higher exposure levels," ARPANSA bluntly stated in its submission.
"Current research indicates that there is no established evidence for health effects from radio waves used in mobile telecommun
ications. This includes the upcoming roll-out of the 5G network. ARPANSA's assessment is that 5G is safe."
The agency stated that while the frequencies used in 4G and 5G mean some energy is absorbed into the body, it is too low to cre
ate any "significant heating of tissue", and the higher millimetre-wave frequencies set to be used for 5G in the future do not
"penetrate past the skin".
"The power level will be low and no appreciable heating will occur in the skin," the agency said.
If exposed to energy levels 50 times higher than the Australian standard, heating of tissue can occur, such as when welding or
exposed to AM radio towers, but that is why safety precautions are taken, ARPANSA said.
The submission also reiterated the scientific fact that radio waves are non-ionising, and cannot break chemical bonds that coul
d lead to DNA damage.
"There is no established evidence that low-level exposure to radio waves causes cancer," the submission said.
ARPANSA acknowledged that in 2011 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) placed mobile telecommunication freque
ncies on its list of possibly carcinogenic to humans, but also put it into perspective.
"This classification is not intended to cause alarm, but to encourage further research in this area," it said.
"Other things that IARC classify at this level include pickled vegetables and aloe vera."
ARPANSA struck out at bogus science circulated online as not having balance, cherry-picking data, and not taking a weight of ev
idence approach.
"No single scientific study, considered in isolation, will provide a meaningful answer to the question of whether or not radio
waves can cause (or contribute to) adverse health effects in people, animals or the environment," the submission said.
See also: Telstra chair likens 5G health truthers to anti-vaccination and Flat Earth movements.
On the impact to bees, an issue often cited by 5G critics, the agency said there was limited research of impact from electromag
netic fields on the diversity or abundance of insects or bees.
"The few ecological studies that do exist generally report little or no evidence of a significant environmental impact," it sai
d.
"The studies that do show an effect, such as the ones listed, suffer from poor scientific method and the reported effect of ele
ctromagnetic field exposure cannot be separated from other environmental factors."
ARPANSA further said any biological effects on humans are "physiological responses that can occur for a broad range of reasons"
and are not classed as health effects which require medical treatment.
"While ARPANSA and the [World Health Organisation] recognise that the symptoms of EHS [electromagnetic hypersensitivity] are re
al and can have a disabling effect for the affected individual, EHS has no clear diagnostic criteria and the science so far has
not provided evidence that RF exposure is the cause," it said.
"The majority of scientific studies published to date have found that under controlled laboratory conditions, EHS individuals c
annot detect the presence of RF sources any more accurately than non-EHS individuals. Several studies have indicated a nocebo e
ffect i.e. an adverse effect due to the belief that something is harmful."
ARPANSA said it would continue to assess the impact of exposure from radio waves on people and the environment.
Backing up the view of ARPANSA on its submission, Vodafone Australia noted in its submission the level of Australia frequency s
tandards.
"It is important to recognise that Australia has some of the most comprehensive and stringent radio frequent safety and electro
magnetic energy (EME) compliance requirements in the developed world," it said.
The Office of the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman said in its submission that it had received 45 complaints about EME in
fiscal year 2019, and received 32 complaints this financial year.
Last month, Telstra chair John Mullen likened 5G health truthers to the anti-vaccination and Flat Earth movements.
"There is absolutely not one shred of evidence that 5G or for that matter, 4G, has any harmful effect on humans," Mullen said d
uring Telstra's annual general meeting.
"And I realise for those that believe -- like anti-vaccination or even the Flat Earth Society -- it is very hard to change peop
le's opinion."
During July, Telstra conducted a test that found the electromagnetic energy levels used in 5G is similar to 3G, 4G, and Wi-Fi.
"In the testing we completed inside apartments and cafes near our 5G Innovation Centre at Southport on the Gold Coast, we measu
red 5G EME levels consistently under 0.02% of the ARPANSA standard limit -- that is more than 5000 times below the safety limit
put in place by the Australian government body responsible for EME," Telstra principal EME strategy, governance and risk manag
ement Mike Wood said at the time.
"In fact, in our apartment testing, we had a room full of network engineers maxing out their devices simultaneously, while stil
l delivering those EME results of more than 1000 times below safety limits.
"It is also important to note that existing safety standards for EME cover 5G, including children, are conservative and will al
so include the higher mmWave frequencies to be used in the future."
