 NATIONAL NEWS FOR WEEK COMMENCING MAY 10 - 2020
 IN OUR 25th YEAR OF NON STOP NEWS

This week comes from Tasmania yes, VK7 who are social disctancing like the rest
Australia although it's a little easier here given we have a natural moat around
this island HIHI!

If COVID-19 hadn't struck then you would have all been down here in VK7 enjoying 
the WIA Annual Conference weekend - with the theme of Antarctic Gateway, Oh well!

It is a very different world we are living in at the moment and it will more than 
likely be a very different world going forward. Rest assured that amateur radio seems
to be one of the hobbies that has been able to flourish in these "iso" times.

The airways are a buzz with activity and clubs are using online resources like zoom and
skype to provide services to their members and the WIA has been providing to clubs 
conference facilities via the Google Meet and Hangouts platform.

The ARRL also reports that demand for amateur radio assessment services has risen 700% since
the start of the pandemic.

Many National societies have been promoting different campaigns during the pandemic like
the Radio Society of Great Britain.

The RSGB as part of their "Get on the air to care" campaign, the
 May edition of RadCom has been made available to radio amateurs
 around the world to read online as a sample edition.

 A number of IARU national societies have taken a similar step and
 the RSGB is happy to join those societies in supporting the
 worldwide amateur radio community during these difficult times.

WIA Annual Conference 2021

Whilst on postponements and revised dates we can now announce the dates for the 
WIA Annual Conference in 2021.

The dates will be April 30th to May 2nd 2021 and as announced earlier the 
conference will be held in Hobart Tasmania - second time lucky!

that most airlines have imposed. This also applies to the bookings made on the
Spirit of Tasmania ferries.

We are currently revising the format of the conference to bring the technical
presentations all into one stream so no-one misses out on a presentation. This will
involve some revision of the when things occur on the Saturday so, watch this space.

 Amateur Radio Exams 'Al-fresco'

 Local radio amateur club LA3F, south of Oslo, had just completed its
 annual course for would-be radio-amateurs. The latest 3 participants
 were just ready for their exam when the corona virus struck.

 Norway started to shut down activities and meetings for an
 indefinite period. 

 A normal exam was not possible due to the strict rules of physical
 distance and limitations on the number of people who could meet. 

 So in order to get these 3 new amateurs on board, LA2RR, Ole, agreed
 with the Norwegian regulator to hold an outdoor exam where all
 guidelines could be obeyed, after all 2 meters matters.

 Armed with all the necessary paperwork and with Antibac for hand
 disinfection, he meet with the three candidates in the forest
 outside the local scout cottage. Here, in the open air, there are
 tables a minimum of 5 m apart, so with just the four of them, it was
 “corona safe"ť to hold the written exam.

 Although early spring in Norway, the temperature was around
 10 degrees Celsius and everybody had dressed warmly so that the
 temperature out in the forest could not be used as an excuse should
 any of them fail. Ole is happy to report that all 3 candidates
 passed and we can all welcome LA5EUA, LB8QI and LB8RI to the
 wonderful world of wireless. 


 IRELAND

 Last Wednesday week, EI 4 GNB in Ireland managed to complete a
 digital FT8 contact with LY 2 YR on 40.220 MHz on the new
 8-metre band.

 Not only was this an EI-LY first but it was also the very first
 contact made between any two countries on the band.

 The distance was approximately 2,039 kms and propagation was
 Sporadic-E.

 It should be noted that while Lithuania does not have an official
 allocation at 40 MHz, the licensing authorities in the country have
 kindly given LY 2 YR special permission to carry out experiments on
 the spot frequencies.

 66-year-old man rescued from ham radio tower

 Firefighters were called to rescue a 66-year-old man who was stuck
 on a friend's amateur radio mast in South Dakota   

 The man, was stuck about 20-feet above ground and the Sheriff's
 office says his arm was pinned under a retractable part of the tower.

 A high angle rescue was performed and the jaws of life were then
 used on the tower to free the manâ€âä˘s arm. He was NOT wearing safety
 equipment and he was there helping a friend do some work on the
 hobbyists tall 'tower of power.'

 WIA DX Awards Leaderboard competition concludes for 2019.

 This annual VK-only competition is designed as a friendly competition
 to determine how well participants are performing compared to their
 peers. It is intended to encourage participation in DXâ€âä˘ing and
 hopefully inspire operators to improve their knowledge of propagation,
 try new techniques, build better stations, and improve their
 operating skill's in other words - to become a better DX'r.

 Congratulations to all winners and place getters, who are entitled
 to a Certificate. First-place winners  are also entitled to purchase
 a crystal plaque.

 First place getters in some 12 possible categories were shared
 between just 4 operators:-

 VK3BDX

 VK2DX

 VK2FBAG
 
 VK7CW and any wonder with a call like that Steve VK7CW did take out
 the CW section!

 The chase now re-starts for 2020. Good luck!

Summer VHF/UHF Field Day Result Released

Roger Harrison VK2ZRH the "interim" manager of the VHF/UHF Field Day contest lets
us know about thes results. 

The overriding aim of this contest is to get away for the weekend and have fun! 
But next after that, the aims are to encourage more activity on VHF and microwave 
bands; to encourage people to work greater distances than usual by operating portable, 
and to provide opportunities for people to activate or work into new grid squares.

In the contest there were 95 logs from 92 stations from all states and territories 
except VK8.

There were eight multi-operator portable stations and all bands were activated from 
50MHz through 122GHz.

Congratulation to all who participated and put in the effort to go portable and 
operate on these challenging bands.

Given this broadcast is coming from VK7 today I have to mention the longest contact was 
on 6m over a distance of 1881 Km betweeen VK4WIS and VK7OTC/P, on ya guys!

Last weekend was the Harry Angel Memorial SPrint contest and from the numbers being handed
out there was some great participation in this short fire 80m contest.

HAM RADIO HISTORICAL NEWS

The fascinating history of the Oceania DX Contest.

A reminder that the 2020 Oceania DX Contest will be held on 3 & 4 October for 
phone and 10 & 11 October for CW between 0600z Saturday and 0600z Sunday see 
the full rules at the link on the email edition of this broadcast.

http://www.oceaniadxcontest.com/

We can be proud that this is one of the oldest contests in Amateur Radio. In 1934 
the Victorian Division of the WIA organized an international radio contest to celebrate 
the Centenary of the founding of Melbourne. It was organized under the leadership of 
Bob Cunningham, VK3ML.

Prizes were more than plaques and certificates. First prize was an RCA 852 tube! 
Other prizes included more tubes and some meters.

The following are some great quotes from AR Magazine of the time......

"The enthusiasm of VK3ML is contagious!"

"the ether just reeks of DX"  take a large breath and sample it! Taste those G's 
( they go well for breakfast as one author once said), those F's, W's, YI's etc? They 
are our meat for October, so go to it and polish up that gear and start working DX just to 
get the “atmosphere"ť prior to the big event,"ť

The event was held over four Saturdays in October.

It was such a success that the WIA was encouraged to join with the NZART to create the 
VK/ZL International DX contest in 1935. This new contest was again organized by VK3ML 
and a committee. They created a serial number system similar to those in some sprint 
contests now.

In those days contacts were not usually on the same frequency. That rather stops the 
technique of listening to the number given out by the CQ'ing station on the previous 
contact and just adding one! It is also pre-computer!

The contest was again held over four weekends in October - Saturday 1700gmt to 
Sunday 1700gmt! Contacts could only be made once on each weekend but could repeat up 
to four times over the month.

Only one mistake was made in the rules. They wanted to encourage 28MHz activity so 
offered a 500 point bonus for 28MHz contacts. However, they were unclear whether this 
was a one-off bonus for just the first contact on the band or was a bonus of 500 for 
each and every 28MHz contact made. This was made even more critical as the band opened 
very well and some stations made a lot of contacts all over the world. VK4BB made 61 
contacts on 28 and in that were W,J,F,ON and G callsigns.

The largest number of receiving logs came from Germany. I wonder if this was part of 
radio training for the developing military!

The goal of the contest was achieved. It is the same as our current goal for the Oceania 
Contest. Get the rest of the world to look for stations down this way so that we can 
make more contacts over long distances.

Everything then was hand keyed CW, homemade equipment and limited antennas. All logging 
was done by hand with possibly the odd typewriter in use. Mostly you called CQ for a 
while then tuned the band to see if anyone was calling you.

Compare that to today where even cheap secondhand transceivers are capable of performance 
the boys and girls in 1935 could not even dream would happen. We can connect our equipment 
to a computer so that the frequency is automatically logged. There are a number of support 
logging programmes to make operating in the Oceania contest a pleasure not a chore.

http://www.oceaniadxcontest.com/software.htm

Motivation for operating a contest is as varied as the human beings that enter! Some try 
to work new DX, new countries, new islands, and so on. Others are just happy to make 
contacts; contests make sure that a lot of people are on at the same time. This often 
creates the magic of bands opening that had seemed to be closed. Some want to win. 
To win overall, to win their section, to win their state or beat last year's score.

Join us in October, handing out serial numbers and making contacts.

How you get on is less important than having fun! This is a hobby that has many facets 
there is always something you can do.

and that came from Martin Luther VK7GN, thanks Martin.

 Redesigned AMSAT CubeSat Simulator "Launched."

 A new design for the CubeSatSim, the AMSAT CubeSat Simulator is now
 available.

 cubesatsim.org/code

 The CubeSatSim is a Raspberry Pi Zero W-based functional model of a
 CubeSat nano-satellite for demonstrations and educational
 outreach. It has a 3D-printed frame structure and is designed to act,
 as reasonably as possible, as one flying in Low Earth Orbit.

  The simulator runs on rechargeable battery power and solar panels
 and transmits its authentic voltage, current, and temperature
