NATIONAL NEWS FOR WEEK COMMENCING MARCH 06 2022
IN OUR 27th YEAR OF NON STOP NEWS
UKRAINE BANS AMATEUR RADIO AS PART OF STATE OF EMERGENCY

NEIL/ANCHOR: A decree by Ukrainian officials imposing a state of
emergency, including a ban on amateur radio operation, took effect on
Thursday, February 24th. Officials had announced the previous day that
they would do so in anticipation of a Russian military invasion. The
decree can last as long as 30 days, with an option to be extended.

The International Amateur Radio Union was monitoring the events. Greg
Mossop, GDUB, IARU Region 1's emergency communications coordinator,
told NewsLine in an email [quote] "The events in Ukraine are obviously
fast moving and although there were early reports of telecommunications failures it appears these may have been due to the volume of calls on
the networks. Webcams in the area are functioning and people do seem to
be able to make calls. Sadly, the Ukrainian National Society has
reported that a ban on the operation of amateur stations in Ukraine has
been put in place for 30 days commencing February 24th. IARU Region 1
and its member societies are monitoring the situation closely but remind
all amateur radio operators they must follow their national laws and regulations." [endquote]

The US news website Politico quoted Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of
Ukraines National Security and Defence Council, describing the actions
as [quote] "preventive measures to keep calm in the country." [endquote]

The declaration is not in effect in the political subdivisions of
eastern Donetsk and Luhansk, which have been occupied by Russian-backed separatists since 2014.

REGION ONE

Germany's DARC reports in Romania radio amateurs have been contacted by the government to offer their expertise should the situation deteriorate. DARC
also provides guidance for German amateurs


A translation of the DARC post reads:

As has been reported several times in the past few days, war is currently raging in Ukraine and as a result the use of amateur radio stations is currently prohibited. The situation is being monitored very closely by IARU Region 1 and its member countries, and measures to support the refugees are being prepared, particularly in the countries that are on the route of the refugee movements.


In Romania, radio amateurs have been contacted by the government to offer
their expertise should the situation deteriorate. In Poland, mobile phone providers are setting up temporary mobile phone stations and refugees are granted free use of mobile phones and trains. Furthermore, Polish radio amateurs have also activated more Winlink gateways to give Ukrainian radio amateurs more options for communication should the cellular networks fail or
be switched off.


In principle, however, every radio amateur who is currently transmitting from the Ukraine is risking his life. If you listen to a Ukrainian station, you should definitely not shout about it. The dissemination of call signs, locations and frequencies - whether on a band or in a cluster - should be avoided in any case.


Still in that war torn land:-

Elon Musks Starlink system is now providing satellite internet services in Ukraine


The Creek City Times report that Elon Musk says SpaceXs Starlink satellites
are now active over Ukraine after a request from the embattled countrys leadership to replace internet services destroyed by the Russian attack.


The unprovoked invasion has left parts of the country without internet, while SpaceX has launched thousands of communications satellites to bring broadband too hard to reach areas of the world.


Tesla North reports the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of
Digital Transformation of Ukraine, asked SpaceX CEO Elon Musk for Starlink internet.


Musk replied by saying, Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route.


Starlink is a satellite constellation in low Earth orbit, allowing for
internet to blanket anywhere on the planet. Users on the ground require satellite dishes that connect to Starlink satellites and ground stations for internet.


The situation in Ukraine means if Russian troops damage internet communications, government officials will be able to remain online, thanks to Starlink.


SpaceX recently also helped Tonga get connected to Starlink internet, after a volcano severed the island nations fibre optic cable, taking communications offline.

REGION TWO

ARRL seeks exemption from proposed US Forest Service communication facility fees; comment period to be re-opened through March 31

ARRL has filed comments with the US Forest Service (USFS) seeking an
exemption for amateur radio facilities to a proposed new 1400 dollar annual administrative fee. The USFS proposal resulted from requirements in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (aka "the Farm Bill"), which directs the Forest Service to collect fees for issuing communications use authorizations based on the cost to the agency for processing the applications, maintenance, and other related activities. These fees would be in addition to annual
rental and cost-recovery fees already being collected.


ARRL's comments can be found online at, www.regulations.gov/comment/FS-2022-0001-0749 .

On February 24, the Forest Service filed a Notice in the Federal Register
that the comment filing window will be re-opened on March 1 and additional comments will be accepted through March 31. Any US radio amateurs missing the first comment period or wishing to add to their earlier comments are
encouraged to do so during this additional period.

Homemade pan adapter brings waterfall to old radio

Ham radio operators can be pretty selective about their gear. Some are old-school tube purists who would never think of touching a rig containing transistors, and others are perfectly happy with the small Software Defined Radio (SDR) hooked up to their PC. The vast majority, though, of us are somewhere in between we appreciate the classic look and feel of vintage
radios as well as the convenience of modern ones. Better yet, some of us even like to combine the two by adding a few modern bells and whistles to our favourite boat anchor.


Scott Baker is one such Ham. Hes only had his license for a few months now
and has already jumped into some great projects, including adding a pan
adapter to an old Drake R-4B Receiver. Whats a pan adapter, you may ask? As [Scott] explains in his excellent write-up and video, a pan adapter is a circuit that grabs a wideband signal from a radio receiver that typically has
a narrowband output. The idea is that rather than just listen to somebodys 4kHz-wide transmission in the 40m band, you can listen to a huge swath of the spectrum, covering potentially hundreds of transmissions, all at the same
time.

Dorrigo Park-Fest is being held on the weekend of 7-8 May just a few months away.


This is firstly a park activation weekend where operators will move around
the different parks operating portable and secondly a social meetup for
amateur radio operators who have been in contact via RF for some time but
never met.


Dorrigo located just west of Coffs Harbour is surrounded by over 20 parks has been chosen as the accommodation hub for this event. All park activators are welcome, and if you have never operated from a park for the WWFF program and would like some help getting involved then come along and I'm sure the
various hams there will help you on your POTA journey.

For more information search out the Facebook group called Dorrigo Park-Fest
or email Marty VK4KC or Alan VK2MET whose emails are on their QRZ.com pages

Now from Dorrigo to Belize
Bob, W0BNC, will be active as V31BN from Haulover Bridge, Belize, between
March 5-10th.


He states on QRZ.com, "I will be doing at least one POTA activation for
certain from V3-0057, the Altun Ha Archaeological Reserve, one of the many Mayan ruins in the country.


I will also be on the air in the evenings from my cabana, located about 5
miles north of Belize City.


Other parks I will attempt to get to:
V3-0067, Community Baboon Sanctuary Wildlife Area
V3-0022, Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary
V3-0026, Spanish Creek Wildlife Area
V3-0027, Shallow Creek Marine Reserve

The only downside to this is I will be QRP. I am bringing my KX2 with a
variety of wire antennas, and a PAC12 vertical. But I don't think this will stop me from making contacts!


I will be operating on SSB, CW, and FT8.

WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- BALLOONING

Pushing ham radio to the limit.

A ham radio balloon around the world at 41,000 ft.

The groups best flight has been around the world 3.5 times.

Although difficult to spot who the group is, its probably best found by searching Facebook and W5UB


They get tracking every 10 minutes on a map that shows altitude, speed,
course, voltage, etc. If you are interested in QRP this little 10 mW transmitter is being heard around the world (Australia, Europe, Africa,
Alaska, etc.) All equipment home brew. The transmitter weighs in at only
7.8 grams and the full 34 ft. 20 meter dipole weighs in at only 1.5 grams.


Please join them in the fun of watching and tracking, and learning. You can
get tracking information and see lots of pictures, detail and comments by
going to their (un named) ham radio FaceBook group of over 12000 hams at

Space Technology News

Micrometeorite knocked NBN satellite off-orbit in December

NBN was hit by a pair of outages to parts of its Sky Muster satellite
network through December and early January.

The first outage started at 8.30am on December 21 when Optus - which effectively flies our satellites, NBN Cos chief development officer
for regional and remote Gavin Williams said - confirmed an off-orbit
condition of our second satellite, which we call our 1B satellite.

Maxar Technologies, which owns SSL, the builder of the Sky Muster
satellites, said the satellite is equipped with optical recognition
technology that saw some meteorite activity, which appeared to confirm their theory.


What that did is effectively make the satellites body rotate whilst it
remains in its orbit, so the satellite is no longer pointing at the
appropriate spot on Earth.

Williams said the problem impacted 46,500 customers out of a total user
base of about 112,000, about 40 percent of all users.

Williams said that the satellite was able to recover and reorient with
the Earth, but not before customers had their services cut for about seven hours.

For Manistee County's amateur radio enthusiasts radio communications are more than a hobby its members also volunteer their services as backup
communication in case of a catastrophic event in the area.


But the enthusiasts using a particular radio tower in the Manistee National Forest may end up with a new $1,400 fee if a new fee system rule is put in place by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Agency.
