 ACMA have Revised the foundation amateur radio syllabus

 As advised by ACMA in their July e-bulletin, they have
 revised the process for updating the amateur radio syllabus
 to remove the requirement that the Syllabus Review Panel must
 approve changes. 

 ACMA have now advised the Australian Maritime College (AMC)
 of changes to the foundation syllabus and requested they
 ensure the amateur radio examinations they conduct including
 by its accredited assessors are based on the revised
 foundation syllabus. The changes relate to removing historical
 restrictions on foundation licensees from the
 Radiocommunications Licence Conditions (Amateur Licence)
 Determination 2015, and some editorial changes. The revised
 syllabus is available on the AMC website.

 Future changes to the syllabus will be undertaken through the
 ACMAs usual consultation process with the broader amateur
 community  ACMA will let us know when this happens.

 Transfer of call signs form

 To give amateurs more options and flexibility in managing
 call signs, licensees can now transfer their call sign to
 another licensee by completing an online call sign transfer
 form. The application needs to be completed and signed by
 both parties before it is lodged with the ACMA.

 Delays in qualification and call sign processing

 We are all very much aware of delays in processing
 applications for amateur radio qualifications and call signs.
 These have been caused by a surge in applications for new
 call signs following recent changes to the call sign template,
 as well as COVID pandemic-related resourcing constraints. 

 The source of these delays is temporary, and the AMC will
 soon revert to normal processing timeframes.

 Get your licensing notices emailed

 Email ACMA on info @ acma.gov.au and let them know your email
 address. This way, youll get your notices faster and reduce
 paper waste.

 Your questions answered

 ACMA often get questions about whether a licensee has to wait
 for the Register of Radiocommunications Licences (RRL) to
 reflect their licence has been granted before they can start
 operating an amateur station.  

 The answer is: No.

 The RRL is not updated immediately. As long as you have a
 receipt of your payment, you are authorised to operate an
 amateur station under the LCD.

 This is Lee VK3GK, WIA Vice President for WIA news.




 Jamboree On The Air (JOTA), the worlds largest and radio
 Scout event promoting friendship and global citizenship
 is taking place over this weekend, 16 to 18 October.

 There are of course a few difficulties this year due to the
 COVID-19 pandemic. However, the event is on air NOW  often
 with creative ways of operating.

 Here in VK our Australian Governor General ( and Chief Scout )
 opened the event.

 Complete audio on  wiaq.org.au/ftp/JOTA.mp3

 With many young Scouters tuned today it's befitting we
 take an extract from QNEWS where VK4ZPP Geoff Emory has
 some words worth taking on board..
 
 "We need to understand more of what is enthralling to the
 generation of the internet and the mobile devices. For the
 technologically savvy young person, there should be a welcome
 entry into a technological pursuit such as amateur radio. The
 different developments which span such a universe of
 knowledge in science and technology can engross the mind that
 is exploring and learning, assimilating what the world has to
 offer. 

 From satellites and the associated astrophysics and astronomy
 to the subterranean pursuits of long wave ground propagation
 with the earth sciences and electronic technology the
 engagement of amateur radio goes and spreads. We can take our
 devices and engage them with other articles and develop
 skills in coding and searching out minute pieces of
 information. We can talk around the globe with and without
 using the internet and we can bounce signals back to earth 
 from the Moon.
 There is so much more that goes with amateur radio such as
 friendships that last and last and we may never get to meet
 in person. And if we do travel, there are friendly faces who
 will welcome us along the way because of this hobby. We can
 be makers and developers or just the relaxed hobbyist; we can
 be students and use the knowledge from our hobby to become a
 professional. We can take part in safety networks and we can
 exercise in radio sport, hone our operating skills in
 contesting or challenge ourselves to gain certificates and
 awards.

 With all this at our finger tips, how do we get that person 
 with the sparkle in the eye to become a participant? How do
 we reach out the hand of friendship and tell someone how
 great we find this pursuit? How do you who is interested in
 science and technology get to meet with us, find a mentor and
 get to enjoy the same glow of satisfaction of the hundreds
 and thousands of radio amateurs around the world.

 Today the world may seem more closed down than it should be
 because of the epidemic restrictions. Today radio amateurs
 are communicating in so many ways free of those restrictions
 because we use the same radio waves that bring the internet
 and our family and friends voices to our mobile phones. Today
 radio amateurs are relaxing and chatting, challenging
 themselves with new skills and today you can join with us too".

 JAPAN

 Contact between Japanese ham radio experience stations

 What is believed to be Japan's first contact between two
 unlicensed people using amateur radio took place October 11
 between Experience Stations 8 J 1 YAB/1 and 8 J 3 YAA/3 

 The specially licensed experience stations aim to give the
 general public a chance to experience the fun of amateur radio.

 Belgium suspends ham radio exams

 The communication regulator in Belgium, BIPT, has announced
 that because of the current COVID-19 situation, the safety
 of candidates and BIPT staff in the examination rooms can no
 longer be guaranteed.

 National amateur radio society UBA reports that as a result,
 all exams have been temporarily suspended.

 UBA says that BIPT will notify them as soon as exams resume.

 Anyone who is already registered for an exam (and has already
 paid for it) will be able to re-register at no additional
 cost at the resumption and will receive priority at that
 time.

 UNITED KIGDOM

 Giving Back to the Birthplace of the Computer

 The modern world has been shaped by what happened inside an
 English country house more than eight decades ago. Its no
 exaggeration to say that at Bletchley Park, the era of the
 computer was born by figuring out how to crack the Nazis
 secret communications,

 They did it by building the worlds first programmable
 digital computer and laying the foundations of modern
 computer science. Ideas developed at Bletchley Park remain at
 the heart of cutting-edge research in fields like artificial
 intelligence, online security and cryptography today.

 Today Bletchley Park is one of the UKs national treasures,
 open to people from across the world who want to witness
 the place where so much of modern computer science was born.
 But like too many of our favourite places, it has been hit
 hard by a drop in visitors and revenue this year, pushing it
 toward difficult decisions about its future.

 Now to its rescue comes FaceBook.

 FaceBook has provided 1 million pounds in support to help
 keep Bletchley Park open to the world.

 The 'Parks' most brilliant scientist, Alan Turing, still
 inspires FaceBooks tens of thousands of engineers and
 research scientists today, and is foundational to the entire
 field of computing, which has and will continue to shape the
 lives of billions of people

 A mural of Alan Turing made out of dominoes takes pride
 of place at Facebooks headquarters in California.

 Short-term restricted service licences  application window
 has just closed for the 2021 period of high demand

 Ofcom will grant successful applicants a for short-term
 restricted service licence to broadcast between 9 April
 and 14 May 2021 inclusive - an anticipated period of
 high-demand that also includes Ramadan.

 Short-term radio licences are granted in the UK for analogue
 services broadcasting to defined locations, or for coverage
 of events such as music or religious festivals, or sporting
 events. 





 USA

 Sale of amateur radio AMPRNet TCP/IP addresses raised
 $108 million.

 The President of Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC)
 has announced they received $108 million from Amazon for
 4 million amateur radio TCP/IP addresses

 Since its allocation to Amateur Radio in the mid-1980s,
 Internet network 44 (44.0.0.0/8), known as the AMPRNet,
 has been used by amateur radio operators to conduct scientific
 research and to experiment with digital communications over
 radio with a goal of advancing the state of the art of
 Amateur Radio networking, and to educate amateur radio
 operators in these techniques.

 In mid-2019 a block of approximately four million AMPRNet
 IP addresses, out of the 16 million available, was sold to
 Amazon by ARDC but it is only now that the sale price has
 been released. Amazon paid $27 for each IPv4 address.

                        Measure Twice cut Once. 
 
 RESEARCHERS CLAIM 'LIMITLESS' LOW-VOLTAGE POWER SOURCE

 Hams who operate portable, and even those who don't, are 
 always in search of the "perfect" power source. Researchers
 are too - and Kevin Trotman N5PRE from Amateur Radio NewsLine
 (arnewsline.org) tells us about some findings from scientists
 in Arkansas.

 KEVIN: Physicists at the University of Arkansas have created
 a circuit that they say can harvest the thermal motion inside
 graphene - an electrically conductive form of elemental 
 carbon - and turn it into low-voltage electrical current to
 power sensors or small devices.

 They also say the power is clean and limitless.

 They created the circuit by using two diodes to convert AC
 into DC. The pulsing DC current performs work on a load
 resistor.

 The researchers claim the diodes have a symbiotic
 relationship with the graphene and increase the circuit's
 power. They believe that this project has proven that
 graphenes thermal motion at room temperature induces an
 alternating current in a circuit -- an achievement that some
 physicists have said is not possible.

 Rocket Lab CEO Warns of Space Junk

 In 1978, NASA scientist Donald Kessler warned of a potential
 catastrophic, cascading chain reaction in outer space.

 Today known as "Kessler Syndrome," the theory posited that
 space above Earth could one day become so crowded, so
 polluted with both active satellites and the detritus of
 space explorations past, that it could render future space
 endeavours more difficult, if not impossible.

 Last week, the CEO of Rocket Lab, a launch start-up, said the
 company is already beginning to experience the effect of
 growing congestion in outer space.
