WIA
Good Morning, I am WIA Director Peter VK8ZZ
We have a late update on the Approach to Market (ATM) "tender" for
the ACMA deed related functions.
The ACMA has sent a media release advising the successful tenderer
for the ATM. You probably already know that the successful tenderer
was the University of Tasmania through the Australian Maritime
College.Congratulations to the Australian Maritime College.
The announcement from the ACMA indicates that services will will not
be delivered in full until some time after 25 February 2019 - the
ACMA will be undertaking some of these functions until the AMC is
ready.
Amateur callsign recommendations will no longer be processed by the
WIA. All Callsign queries should now be directed to the ACMA

The WIA has provided the ACMA with a proposal to transition out of
the deed between the ACMA and the WIA. This proposal is yet to be
formally accepted by the ACMA.
The preparations for the World Radiocommunications Conference (WRC)
which is hosted by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU)
in Europe later this year has been ongoing. Theses WRC Conferences
are held every 3 – 4 years. The WRC is the final arbiter in relation
to the worldwide use and allocation of the entire radio frequency
spectrum.
The WIA will be part of the Australian delegation to WRC-19.
The WIA is a member organisation of the International Amateur Radio
Union (IARU). The IARU is the worldwide representative body
representing radio amateurs to the WRC and the ITU. The report on
the minutes for the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) Region 3
conference which was attended by the WIA and was held in Korea last
September have been issued. They are available on the WIA web site.
The WIA will be pursuing the grant funding available for young
Radio Amateurs - “Youngsters On The Air” (YOTA) activities as per
previous broadcasts.

SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa to support the IARU position on WRC-19 agenda items
affecting Amateur Radio
A two-day Industry WRC-19 Preparatory meeting recommended that
South Africa support the IARU position on agenda items that impact
on Amateur Radio.
The meeting considered the draft ITU Conference Preparatory Meeting
report and developed the South African position which will now be
discussed at the SADC meeting and after that at the ATU meeting
next month. The final CPM report will be discussed later this year
before the CPM meeting which will be held prior to WRC in October.
The final South African position will then be submitted to cabinet
for approval. This will form the guidelines that the South African
delegation will use in the WRC discussions.
Item 1.1 of the Agenda deals with 50 - 54 MHz.
The SARL proposal is to support the global allocation of 50 - 54 MHz.
For agenda 1.13 the IARU proposed that 47.0 to 47.2 GHz be left as
a primary amateur allocation. This small portion of the 47 GHz was
left untouched although questions were asked what studies the
amateur radio community has carried out and what use the spectrum
is planned for.
The SARL closely followed discussions on agenda items 1.15, 1.16 and
10. Two agenda items of concern are those dealing with 2, 3 and 5 GHz
allocations and the encroachment of Wi-Fi systems.
Amateur Radio has secondary allocations in those two bands.
The SARL participated in discussions on simplifying registration
of satellites with an operational life of 3 years and shorter.
South Africa played a major role in this agenda item and supports
the initiative. The agenda item to find new allocations for
University CubeSats also resulted in substantial discussions.
While this agenda item is not supported by many countries, the
meeting felt it is an important proposal and agreed to promote
this at SADC and ATU level. Currently many countries allow these
satellites to operate on amateur radio frequencies and see no need
to find alternative frequency allocations.
The SARL and AMSAT SA was represented by Hans van de Groenendaal,
ZS6AKV
CANADA
With temperatures hovering at -24 Celsius, 50 Almonte Amateur Radio
Club members and friends gathered for their annual dinner evening in
Ontario Canada.
The highlight of the event was the formal induction of club member
Neil Carleton, VE3NCE, into the Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame.
Filling the hall were Neils family members and friends from near
and far, former teaching colleagues and students, representatives of
Radio Amateurs of Canada and CARHOF, and Amateurs from across the
region and beyond. It felt very much like a gathering of extended
family.
Robin Webb, VE3UIX, AARC President, acted as the Master of
Ceremonies for the evenings festivities which began with a
short presentation which included examples of Neils use of
Amateur Radio to inspire and engage students, bring the world
and space into the classroom, and make connections across the
curriculum in math, language, science and social studies.
The presentation featured an excerpt from the film record of the
contact that the school made with the International Space Station
on November 23, 2001 and concluded with a video message from Neils
longtime friend, fellow teacher and Chair of the RAC Youth Education
Program, Brian Jackson, VE6JBJ, in Alberta.

The FCC is Back in Business
UPDATED 2019-01-29 @ 2115 UTC
In the wake of the more-than-month-long partial government shutdown,
the FCC said that it would be tackling the backlog of applications
already in the queue over the course of a couple days.
Subsequently, the Commission requested that the ARRL Volunteer
Examiner Coordinator give the agency time to work through its
already-pending backlog, before ARRL VEC submit any additional
new files. Information released before the shutdown said the
FCC would take the first day it was open, which was Monday,
January 28, to get idle systems up and running again.
The FCC has resumed all operations since the partial funding lapse
has ended, the FCC said via Twitter.
BRAZIL
Public consultation on electromagnetic field regulations
At the end of 2018 the Brazilian regulator ANATEL launched a public
consultation on regulations to establish technical requirements
regarding human exposure to Electromagnetic Fields
LABRE participated last week in Public Consultation 47 of ANATEL on
"Proposal of Act establishing the technical requirements
complementary to the Regulation on the evaluation of the
human exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields
associated with the operation of radiocommunication transmitting
stations approved by Resolution No. 700, of September 28, 2018 ".
The ANATEL proposal maintained the criterion of simplified
theoretical calculation of the minimum distances of radio amateur
antennas for exemption from the compliance report, but modified
formulas were presented that practically tripled the distances.
LABRE followed the contribution made in the first consultation of
2016 in favor of maintaining the formulas in Resolution 303 for the
specific conditions of exemption of the report for amateurs,
emphasizing that they already correspond to conservative criteria,
with expressions recognized by the International Telecommunication
Union, besides exemplifying how the subject is treated in other
countries, considering additionally the use of specialized software.
It was also suggested that the minimum distances be in the direction
of the maximum irradiation lobe of the antennas, as was also treated
in the previous resolution.
Of the 92 contributions submitted electronically, almost half were
radio amateurs with criticisms of the distance increases and other
topics of Resolution 700.

Ailing ARISS “HamTV” Transmitter Back on Earth for Inspection,
Possible Repair
The malfunctioning Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
“HamTV” transmitter now is back on Earth for repair or replacement,
and it likely wont be until sometime in 2020 at the earliest that
Amateur Radio TV capability will be restored to the orbiting
laboratory.
Onboard repair was not possible.
Also known as “Ham Video,” the DATV system transmissions were not
seen by ARISS ground stations as of last April, and a subsequent
test using a second L/S band patch antenna on the ISS Columbus
module failed. The DATV transmitter since February 2016 had served
to provide a visual dimension to ARISS school and group ham radio
events.
Late last year, the ISS crew packed the HamTV unit and stowed it on
the SpaceX-16 Dragon vehicle, which undocked and departed from the
ISS on January 13. The HamTV unit returned to Earth when Dragon
successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, the first nighttime
splashdown and recovery of a Dragon vehicle.
Given various handling protocols, the unit is not expected to be
received by NASA until this spring, and tests in Europe not
completed until this fall.
If the HamTV unit is able to be repaired or refurbished, another
wait would ensue. Documentation is required 50 days before a safety
certification meeting, and all must be approved 2 months prior to
launch, which could take place in a little more than a year. ARISS
said it also will prepare for the possibility that repairs are not
feasible and be ready to move forward with a new, improved HamTV
unit.

SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP - BEACHES ON THE AIR
www.beachesontheair.com
Sidney, ZS 5 SID has compiled a list of Blue Flag beaches in
South Africa and submitted the list to Beaches on the Air.
But what are 'Blue Flag Beaches?'
The Blue Flag is a certification by the Foundation for Environmental
Education that a beach, marina, or sustainable boating tourism
operator meets its stringent standards.
FEE's Blue Flag criteria include standards for quality, safety,
environmental education and information, the provision of services
and general environmental management criteria. The Blue Flag is
sought for beaches, marinas, and sustainable boating tourism
operators as an indication of their high environmental and quality
standards.
Spain has held the 1st position for nearly three decades since the
awards began in 1987.
ZS5SID's list covers beaches on the Northern Cape, Western Cape,
Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.
To activate a beach, you must advertise the activation on the B.O.T.A.
Group Facebook Page, make a minimum of 10 QSOs and submit your log
together with photographic evidence of the activation.

PLANS UNDER WAY FOR D-DAY COMMEMORATIVE EVENT IN WALES
The North Wales Radio Society has plans for a D-Day Commemorative
Event.
Here's Jeremy Boot G4NJH.
JEREMY: Seventy five years have passed since the D-Day Landings on
the beachfront of France, and the North Wales Radio Society
is busy planning Special Event Station GB2ORM to operate on
the Great Orme, Llandudno in North Wales. The selection of
the station's site is significant: It is a 3-story building
that is the former Aerial Defence Research and Development
Establishment (ADRDE) also known as "X3."
According to the radio society's website, the building
apparently housed a secret radar experimental station above
the Royal Artillery School on the Great Orme. The school
itself played a prominent wartime role, and over time it
grew beyond its gunnery wing, adding wireless and searchlight
wings in 1940.
Depending on propagation, station operators on the 7th, 8th
and 9th of June are hoping to contact as many hams within
the UK, Europe and beyond on as many bands and frequencies
as possible.
I'm Jeremy Boot G4NJH.
