 NATIONAL NEWS FOR WEEK COMMENCING AUGUST 30 2020

 CRIMINAL ACTIVITY

 This is in relation to recent break-ins and thefts at a Victorian
 radio site on Mt. Cann, also known Mt. Bemm. 

 WIA is a licensee at this site (ACMA Site ID: 12093).

 Kordia Pty Ltd's marine VHF radio facilities at Mt. Cann/Mt. Bemm
 on the eastern Victorian coast, were the victim of a break-in a
 few weeks ago, and again in the last few days. In the first incident,
 some 10 batteries (weighing 62 kg each) were stolen from the battery
 hut. The thieves returned and stole the remaining 38 batteries,
 despite increased security measures being implemented in the
 meantime.

 Police attended on both occasions.

 The thieves damaged fences, gates as they smashed and cut their way
 in.

 5 MEGS

 The 2015 World Radio Conference (WRC-15) allocated a portion of the
 5 MHz band to the Amateur Service on a secondary basis. In Australia,
 the high frequency (HF) band 5351.5 - 5366.5 kHz (15 kHz) was
 declared as a secondary allocation for the amateur service within the
 2017 Australian Radio Frequency Spectrum Plan.


 "The WIA Spectrum Strategy Committe wrote a detailed submission on
 the implementation of the band within the Amateur Service Licence
 Condition Determination.

 Reviewing the options proposed by the authority, the WIA proposes
 that the ACMA's second option outlined in their consultation paper
 be the model used to permit the introduction of the Amateur Service
 into this part of the radio spectrum.

 The WIA view is that option 2 delivers the maximum benefit of this
 segment of the radio spectrum to the Australian people while not
 disadvantaging existing primary spectrum users.

 This view is supported by stakeholders comprising WIA members and
 interested non-members who were polled to gain an understanding of
 their preferred arrangements for accessing the band."

 Grant Willis VK5GR from the WIA WIA Spectrum Strategy Committee

 "So, what are the next steps you may ask?

 The ACMA will now consider all responses from Amateurs and the
 industry. If they find the case compelling, amateurs should see a
 draft revision of the Amateur LCD in due course.

 The WIA will continue active discussions, pushing for access to this
 band, with ACMA. We want VK amateurs to join with the more than 80
 other countries in realising the benefits of the 60m band for the
 Amateur Service as a matter of priority. As the process unfolds,
 keep watching the WIA Website and listening to this WIA broadcast for
 further updates."

 So now we sit back and await ACMAS verdict, or in the venacular of
 those who serve or have seved our country in thae armed services...

 "Hurry Up And Wait".

 We encourage young hams to participate of YOTA programs around
 the globe.

 WHAT IS YOTA ONLINE? 

 The Youth Working Group within the IARU Region 1 created a new
 program called “YOTA online" and invites young hams around the
 world to participate. 

 In these monthly gatherings they are spreading the word that
 there is youth in ham radio. A YOTA team consisting of active
 youngsters will present different topics, while answering
 questions from the community. 

 These sessions are also interesting if you want to learn more
 about organising such amateur radio events for young people.
 This will be followed by a Q&A session with the group presenting.

 INDIA

 Radio hams assist teams on ground with contact tracing

 The Times of India reports amateur radio operators have once again
 been roped in to fight Covid-19

 While previously they helped monitor home-quarantine violations,
 this time they've been tasked with assisting the government in
 facilitating contact tracing via real-time radio communication.

 80 to 100 ham operators are presently helping booth-level volunteers
 and ward committees carry out door-to-door surveys, assist patients
 and trace contacts of those testing positive for the virus.

 GERMANY

 Security gap enables eavesdropping on mobile phone calls

 Criticalcomms on line magazine have reported how researchers in
 Germany have been able to exploit a flaw that some manufacturers
 had made in implementing base stations.

 Calls via the LTE mobile network are encrypted and should therefore
 be tap-proof. However, researchers from the Horst GÜrtz Institute
 for IT Security Germany, have shown that this is not always the case. 
They were able to decrypt the contents of calls if they were in the 
same radio cell as their target, whose mobile phone they then called 
immediately following the call they wanted to intercept. 
They exploit a flaw that some manufacturers had made in implementing 
the base stations.

 The results were published by the HGI team at the 29th Usenix
 Security Symposium, which took place as an online conference.

 Providers and manufacturers were contacted prior to the publication;
 by now the vulnerability should be fixed.

 V2X tech gives firefighters the green light

 Dedicated short-range communications radios systems are now in charge
 of Ludwigsburg traffic lights, and it's a system of radio technology
 developed by Australian company Cohda Wireless which has been
 deployed enabling fire trucks and rescue service teams to get to
 accidents and emergencies faster.

 114 traffic lights at intersections in Ludwigsburg, with a
 population of 85,000,  have been fitted with Cohda MK5 Road-Side
 Units, which work with the equivalent MK5 On-Board Units in
 fire trucks and rescue vehicles, to grant them green traffic light
 passage on their way to emergencies.

 This is Peter VK3BFG in Melbourne.

 As reported on the broadcast recently, the Melbourne DATV Repeater
 VK3RTV is now back on the air, now 100% digital, leaving analogue FM
 to history.

 There are three separate DVB-S inputs on 1246, 1255 and 1278 MHz
 using three phased dual quads oriented towards the main service
 areas. The output power is 120 watts and is a two channel multiplexed
 DVB-T signal on 445.5 MHz feeding a vertically polarized dipole array

 Channels are designated VK3RTV1 and VK3RTV2. 445.5 MHz is the new
 WIA recommended centre frequency for the 7 MHz digital channel on
 70 cm.

 Stations seen so far include VK3XKA, VK3BCU, VK3GE, VK3WWW, VK3KQ,
 VK3CH, VK3BFG, VK3ATV, VK3WV , VK3ZSJ and VK3GMZ. The most notable
 stations were Simon VK3ZSJ at 37.2 Km , Geoff VK3GE at 60.9Km, and
 Phil VK3GMZ at 33.5Km. Phil VK3GMZ lives in Woori Yallock which is
 east of Mount Dandenong which means there is a 2500 foot hill between
 him and VK3RTV. Looking on Google Earth it became evident that he was
 coming in on knife edge diffraction over the top.

 VK3RTV is streaming both channels on the BATC which now has a very 
 much improved service. The Repeater also has a Remote Access
 capability acting as a one way input only type of IRLP. This function
 will only be used on special occasions.

 73, and be seeing you , Peter VK3BFG





 Dutch 144 MHz DATV experiment is a success

 VERON report on the success of their experiment to encourage
 radio amateurs to use Digital Amateur Television in the 2 meter band.

 A translation of the VERON post reads:
 On July 14 the first message appears on the VERON website to
 announce the 2m DATV experiment. With the hashtag #NotMoreOfTheSame,
 the radio amateur has been invited to think outside the box.

 The Telecom Agency indicates that the amateur bands are there to
 conduct experimental radio research and that they are Technology
 Neutral. If anything has been proven, it is that DATV in the 2 meter
 band works and produces good results.

 27 participants were present through the
 dxspot.batc.org.uk/ website alone. This is regardless of all
 listening amateurs who have participated.

 DXspot from the BATC website was used by the participants as a
 talkback channel. During this experiment, two frequencies,
 144.600 MHz and 145.300 MHz, were used to minimize inconvenience
 to the other users on the band. The experiment was also limited
 to a duration of 4 hours.

 Faster Than the Speed of Light?

 If you're a fan of science fiction, chances are you've
 encountered spaceships that use a warp drive, "fold space,"
 or “jump" drive. Unfortunately, the immutable laws of physics
 tell us that this is simply not possible.

 Those same laws, however, also tell us that near-light-speed travel
 comes with all sorts of challenges. Luckily for all of us, NASA
 addresses these in a recently-released animated video that
 covers all the basics of interstellar travel!

 Across the ditch Summer Field Day is expected to be a big deal for
 young ZL hams in February. Jim Meachen ZL2BHF shares that report
 with us and Amateur Radio NewsLine.

 When is it actually considered fun to get on the air when band 
 conditions aren't quite the best? When it's part of a Youngsters
 on the Air exercise.

 In New Zealand, YOTA Oceania is busy preparing for the Jock White
 Memorial Field Day event to be held in Wellington early next year.
 Organiser Benjamin Isaacs ZL2BCI said that the HF contest is named
 to honour the former NZART contest and awards manager who is now a
 Silent Key. 

 The challenge facing the young hams who'll be participating on the
 27th and 28th of February will be to work as many other ZL stations
 as possible and to listen for any potential contacts into VK, even
 if conditions are poor.

 The call sign details are still being finalised but you can be sure
 you'll be listening for the last four letters which, of course, 
 will be Y O T A.

 For Amateur Radio NewsLine I'm Jim Meachen ZL2BHF.
