Wireless message centenary Report

In a suburban street of Wahroonga, a northern suburb of Sydney, some
two hundred people are assembled in front of a small, yet significant
monument . Addressing the crowd is the City of Sydney Town Crier;

TOWN CRIER: "be it known that I hereby welcome you all to the
celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first
direct wireless message from the United kingdom to
Australia. Upon this day, one hundred years ago,
the 22nd day of September, in the year nineteen hundred
and eighteen, the first wireless message sent by
Guglielmo Marconi, for the Australian Prime Minister,
Billy Hughes in Wales, was received by Ernest Fisk at
his home, Lucania, outside of which we stand today.
It was received at 1.15pm precisely.

Then, right on time, a message, in morse code

The text of the morse code message was transcribed by John Patterson
VK2ATT, and read to the audience by Federal Minister for Bradfield,
the Honourable Paul Fletcher.

Activities continued at St Andrew's church hall, nearby. Special event
station VK 100 MARCONI was operating for the day and the event was
covered in national media and on local community radio. Event
Organiser, Jo Harris OAM, formerly VK2KAA, spoke about the day;

JO HARRIS: Today we have Grandchildren of Ernest Fisk, Daughter,
Daughters-in-law, we have so many people who are so
interested in what's happening. I thank everyone that's
displaying today, it's really been a worthwhile effort
from everyone.

HAMS CHALLENGED TO AID PHILIPPINES DURING TYPHOON MANGKHUT

With Typhoon Mangkhut threatening, the Philippine Amateur Radio
Association (PARA) activated its Ham Emergency Radio Operations (HERO)
at a Code Yellow level on September 12, per a declaration from PARA
Chief Operating Officer Roberto Vicencio, DU 1 VHY.

At Code Yellow, stations are advised to ensure that all equipment is
operational, check backup power sources, and take any necessary
precautionary measures.

For the first time ever, the Philippines National Telecommunications
Commission (NTC) had authorized PARA/HERO volunteers to communicate
directly with NTC's regional offices during the pending emergency,
rather than through the NTC headquarters.

Typhoon Mangkhut was the strongest typhoon to strike Luzon Island
since Typhoon Megi in 2010, and the strongest typhoon to make
landfall in the Philippines since Super Typhoon Haiyan, November 2013.

A Category 4 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale, Mangkhut was packing
nearly 150 MPH winds, with gusts of more than 180 MPH as it approached
a predicted September 14 landfall on extreme northern Luzon Island.
The storm inflicted widespread destruction, with heavy damage to
structures and caused landslides.

More than 80 people lost their lives as a result of the storm.
Evacuations were ordered in several regions. The storm went on to
wreak heavy damage in Hong Kong.

This deadly weather systems proved a challenge for hams as they kept
communications open in the storm-wrecked Philippines.

Robert Broomhead, VK3DN tells us more.

"Locally, many affiliated groups established VHF radio communications
at the Emergency Operations Centre in Clark Freeport.

Mayor Victorio Palangdan of Itogon, one of the hardest-hit
province towns, reported that dozens were believed killed in a
landslide and that rescuers would likely not find survivors. Having
destroyed homes and taken lives, the typhoon next made its way to
south China.

The typhoon had made its approach just as a radio communications
summit on disasters was convening in Cotabato City. It was attended
by 500 members of ham radio clubs and civic groups and was
considered an unprecedented gathering of its kind for the region.
Lectures on emergency communications were being given by PARA
which quickly began coordinating with Humanitarian Emergency Action
and Response Team as the typhoon hit.

I'm Robert Broomhead, VK3DN."

Before the storm moved on, 32,000 families were believed to have
been affected in central Luzon.





INDIA

The Hindu has interviewed radio amateur Gurudatta Panda VU3GDP about
the ExseedSat CubeSat built by an eight-person team at Hyderabad-based
Exseed Space Private Limited co-founded by Ashhar Farhan VU2ESE

ExseedSat carries an amateur radio FM transponder and APRS digipeater
and is expected to be launched by SpaceX towards the end of 2018.

"This satellite will serve the ham radio community. As a result, it
will be of great help during natural calamities, when conventional
communication services get disrupted," Gurudatta VU3GDP said.

After the launch, this artificial satellite will be on a polar orbit
with two passes over India every day. The public will be able to
receive this artificial satellite's beacon on 145.900 MHz FM using a
TV tuner and USB dongle, Mr. Panda added.

He said the eight-member team involved in construction of the small
private satellite involved four technocrats and four managerial staff
members.

He and Exseed Space co-founder Ashhar Farhan VU2ESE were the
communication engineers who played a key role in building the
satellite.

SWEDEN

Sweden's Telecommunications Regulatory Agency to Require Fee to Run
More than 200 W

We have more on our recent story from Sweden, effective November 1,
radio amateurs in Sweden who want to run more than 200 W PEP in
certain Amateur Radio allocations will have to apply for a transmitter
license to do so and pay a yearly fee.

Sweden's telecoms agency PTS has announced a modified listing of
license-free transmitters that spells out the changes for Amateur
Radio and other services.

Sweden eliminated Amateur Radio licenses in 2004, and Amateur Radio in
Sweden is "permission free," but prospective radio amateurs still must
pass an examination. A certificate and a call sign, valid for life,
are issued without any future fees. Up until now, the maximum
permitted power on most HF bands has been 1 kW with no additional
authorization required.

"It will be interesting to see how many active [Swedish] operators
will apply for high-power permits," said Henryk Kotowski, SM 0 JHF,
who alerted ARRL to the release of the official PTS order.
"I will not." There is a general trend to use less power and smarter,
efficient modes." He said.

Under the amended regulations, radio amateurs would have to apply for
permission to run more than 200 W on 160 (1,810 - 1,850 kHz only),
80, 40, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, and 2 meters, as well as 70 centimetres,
and the 1.2, 5.6, 10, 24, 47 GHz, and higher Amateur Radio allocations.





USA

Emergency Preparedness Takes Centre Stage for 2018 Simulated
Emergency Test

The 2018 ARRL Simulated Emergency Test (SET) is just ahead. The
primary ARRL-sponsored national emergency exercise is designed to
assess the skills and preparedness of Amateur Radio Emergency
Service volunteers as well as those affiliated with other
organizations involved with emergency and disaster response.

Although the main SET weekend this year is October 6 - 7, local and
Section-wide exercises may take place throughout THE USA during
their fall.

Those who already take part in public service and emergency
activities are getting ready for the annual SET, a dress rehearsal,
next month. But, the 2018 ARRL SET is an open casting call for all
radio amateurs interested in expanding their emergency preparedness
knowledge and skill.

The annual SET encourages maximum participation by all Amateur Radio
operators, partner organizations, and national, state, and local
officials who typically engage in emergency or disaster response in
the US.

In addition to ARES volunteers, radio amateurs active in the
National Traffic System, Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service
SKYWARN, Community Emergency Response Team, Salvation Army Team
Emergency Radio Network, and a variety of other allied groups and
public service-oriented radio amateurs are needed to fulfil important
roles in this nationwide exercise

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

Construction is alive and kicking in the Netherlands

The Dutch national society VERON promotes the active involvement of
radio amateurs in innovation, home-construction and experimentation.

A Google translation of VERON's recent post says:

Nowadays the cost of commercial equipment is very low. A new VHF/UHF
5 watt FM handheld can cost just 25 euro. That is why people wonder
whether the stimulus to experiment and self-construction is still
present. But the enormous variety, the low cost of equipment and the
arrival of SDR has created unprecedented possibilities. Because of
this one is inclined to investigate, to build and to innovate.

On our bands we now see the rise of digital modes, software and
advanced equipment. In recent times, revolutionary developments have
taken place in digital modes. Think of propagation beacon technology.
And also the increase of SDR radios. Research and innovation by radio
amateurs is far from over.

It is not the case that self-construction, experimentation and
innovation were taken away by radio amateurs. But traditional
self-construction is making more and more room for the new techniques
as shown by the series in the VERON Electron magazine on getting
started with Arduino.

Radio amateurs make more and more use of the Arduino and is more and
more often found in the "shack" of the radio amateur. But there are
more series about new developments in self-construction. For example,
VERON are working on a series about the Raspberry PI for publication
in the Electron. As a result, this technical development will also be
used by more radio amateurs.

For months now the article "Make your computer or tablet an SDR radio
receiver" has been in the top five of the pages visited on the VERON
website.

The soldering iron makes way for the keyboard - Home-construction,
Experiments and innovation are in a transition from old to new
techniques.

Home-construction is alive and kicking.

REWIND

Enigma Reloaded

From the 28th September to the 6th October the Enigma Reloaded event
will be taking place this year.

The main goal of the enigma event is to promote as much amateur radio
activity as possible all over the world, celebrating the history of
the Enigma cipher machine and its crucial role in the outcome of
World War II, and spreading the knowledge of those key people who
contributed to its decryption.

The "Enigma Reloaded" event will take place in two steps :

28th September to 5th October, Italian and foreign Amateur radio
stations registered as "Activator stations" will ensure the activation
of their radio stations in order to allow the participants to get
their scores for the "Enigma Award" Contest.

6th October, the final event's day, the Activator Stations will
exchange predefined CW messages previously enciphered by a real or
emulated Enigma machine.

All details and rules are available on the official website
www.enigma-reloaded.it/index_eng.html

All amateur radio operators and their families are invited to attend.

This is a Northern VK7 tradition and has taken place in one guise or
another for many years now.

It will be a B.Y.O. everything BBQ, including a couple of logs for
the fire if possible. It can still get pretty cold up there at this
time of the year.

The Visitor Centre is in a glass enclosed area, out of the rain, wind
and elements. A log fireplace and toilets mean they will be quite
comfortable.
