WIA AGM 2021
The Annual General Meeting of the Wireless Institute of
Australia will be held in May 2021.
The format of the event is still to be finalised but it is
likely to be a HYBRID event, with some actual participants
on site and others joining by video conference.
Members may also opt to watch the whole event on a streaming
service similar to what we did earlier this WIA year.
This has been WIA Director Peter VK8ZZ
Hi, this is Oscar VK3TX.
Did you worked a YOTA station in December?
For the Amateur Radio community, December was designated as
YOTA month. It is an annual initiative sponsored by
Youngsters on the Air that wants to demonstrate amateur radio
to youth to encourage them to get licenced, and for younger
radio amateurs, to get active on the ham bands.
All radio amateurs can support this effort by contacting
participating stations; an awards program is available for
those interested.
For more information visit
events.ham-yota.com/awards
This is Oscar VK3TX for WIA National News.
December's Youngsters on the Air (YOTA) Month activity has
exceeded its goal of making 100,000 contacts, but promoters
arent stopping there. With a few late logs to come in they
are encouraging a last-minute push to break 2020's world
contact record of nearly 129,000.

CHINA'S RADIOTELESCOPE WELCOMES THE WORLD
With the Arecibo Observatory gone following its collapse,
China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, or
'FAST', is opening its doors to the world's astronomers.
FAST is the world's largest radio telescope, taking that status
from Arecibo after its construction was completed in 2016.
According to the French news agency AFP, China's giant
telescope is giving the international community of astronomers
access to its antennas and radio receivers so they can study
radio waves emitted from black holes, galaxies and stars and
even transmit and reflect signals to see what bounces back.
EUROPE
People purchasing new passenger vehicles across Europe will
be able to benefit from the advantages of digital radio,
greater choice, clearer audio and enhanced data services.
Any car radio receiver integrated in a new vehicle which is
made available on the market for sale or rent in the Union
from 21 December 2020 shall comprise a receiver capable of
receiving and reproducing at least radio services provided
via digital terrestrial radio broadcasting.
The regulation applies to all EU member states regardless
of the status of DAB or DAB+ in each country.
worlddab.org/news
Will the new year bring Europe its own system of low-earth
orbit satellites? Ralph Squillace KK6ITB explores that
possibility in a report from Amateur Radio Magazine.
With 2021 underway, officials in a number of European Union
nations will begin a feasibility study for a constellation of
low-earth orbit satellites similar to the Starlink project
under way by SpaceX. Europe's version of the U.S. satellite
constellation is envisioned as being able to give people in
isolated areas access to the internet and permit more secure
communications for governments. It would reportedly cost
6 billion euros.
The development could lead to a rivalry in space broadband
coverage as SpaceX's own beta version is said to begin
service to Europe by February or March of 2021.
UK (sans EU)
Ofcom the UK regulator has confirmed its decision to amend
regulations regarding the use of 24 GHz short range radar
equipment in vehicles.
Short range radar equipment includes blind spot and collision
radars and other driving assistance technology, some of which
relies on spectrum.
The Wireless Telegraphy (Automotive Short Range Radar)
(Exemption) Regulations 2013 allow certain SRRs in cars to be
used in the 24 GHz band without the need for a spectrum
licence. OFCOM have amended the regulations, so that these
licence exemptions continue to apply in the UK after the end
of the transition period in the Withdrawal Agreement between
the UK and the European Union WHICH WAS 11pm 31 December 2020.

USA
AM transmitter sites sold for logistics
Since 2000 nearly 400 AM radio stations have ceased operations
in the US. Transport Topics says the transmitter sites are
now valuable real estate for the logistics industry
The report says:
The familiar real estate adage location, location, location
rings true these days for huge tracts on the outskirts of
major cities sites that for decades housed huge AM radio
towers but that today command top dollar as e-commerce fuels
rising demand for new warehouses and logistics centres.
Look no further than the $51 million sale of a five-acre
parcel in Queens, N.Y., where WFME AM radio station will
eventually abandon its existing tower and transmitter site,
and move it.
Prologis, a San Francisco developer that specializes in
building warehouses for companies looking to expand
final-mile capability is reputed to have been the purchaser.

AWARDS
"Elettra - The Miracle Ship" is an international amateur
radio award organized by A.R.I. Fidenza, a Italian Radio Club
affiliated to the Italian Amateur Radio League with the
sponsorship and the historical consultancy and supervision
of "Guglielmo Marconi Foundation" and "Marconi Museum" .
Just think of when the great scientist, from the radio room
of the Elettra, anchored in the port of Genoa, turned on the
lights of the Sydney Town Hall, on the other side of the
planet, using a radio signal.
It is no coincidence, therefore, that the poet
Gabriele D'Annunzio defined Elettra
"White ship that sails in the miracle and animates
the silences of the world."
The award period lasts the whole year 2021:
Each month of 2021 is dedicated to one specific event
concerning "Elettra"ship and is associated to a
different special callsign.

ARDF or 'Fox hunting ' with software-defined radio
A favourite pastime in the ham radio community is where radio
operators attempt to triangulate the position of a radio
transmission.
While it may have required a large amount of expensive
equipment in the past, like most ham radio operations the
advent of software-defined radio has helped revolutionize
this aspect of the hobby as well.
Aaron on Hackaday shows us how to make use of SDR for
direction finding using his custom SDR-based Linux distribution
called DragonOS. This includes implementation of a
software package called DF-Aggregator. The software, along
with the rest of DragonOS, is loaded onto a set of networked
Raspberry Pi's. The networked computers can communicate
information about the radio waves they receive, and make
direction finding another capable feature.
Aaron has a few videos showing the process of setting this up
and using it, and all of the software is available for
attempting something like this on your own.

WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS - ASTRONOMICAL
SpaceAusScope team listen to the galaxy
We here in the great southern land have always had a
reputation for astronomy. It is a great site low in the
Southern hemisphere and there are lots of sparsely inhabited
areas free from light and radio interference. Some of the
first video from the Apollo 11 landing, for example, came in
from the dish that large radio telescope at Parkes,
remember our AGM there?
Australian hobbyists have formed a group, SpaceAusScope,
where teams across Australia are building radio telescopes
with the plan which has been delayed by the pandemic of
collecting data and providing it for public analysis.
Hackaday says that a secondary goal of the group is to provide
better documentation for amateur radio telescope builders.

Hams and everyday people on a small Indian Island east of
Reunion and Madagascar islands are getting ready for
something rather different, and special.
The first CubeSat from Mauritius, MIR-SAT1, is almost on
the launch pad. It carries an amateur radio digipeater and is
expected to launch to the ISS in February for deployment in
May/June but already Mauritian students are able to pick up
signals from about another 100 satellites in low orbit around
the earth as they prepare for their very own, to be known
far and wide as MIR-SAT1.
Young people, from five universities and 12 high schools,
participated in a workshop organized by the Mauritius Research
and Innovation Council from November 30 to December 4, 2020 at
Forest Side State Secondary School
Mauritius was awarded the opportunity to build and deploy,
a 1U Cube Satellite through the International Space Station
by JAXA and deployed from the Japanese Experiment Module
The first 1U Mauritian nanosatellite, MIR-SAT1 which stands
for Mauritius Imagery and Radio Satellite 1, was designed
by Mauritian Engineers and an experienced Radio Amateur
from the Mauritius Amateur Radio Society.

ARRL Amateur Radio Emergency Service volunteers were quick on
the scene in the aftermath of that apparently intentional
explosion early on Christmas morning in downtown Nashville.
The blast disrupted telecommunication systems, as the
explosion occurred in front of an AT&T switching facility.
ARRL Vice Director and Williamson County Emergency Coordinator
Ed Hudgens, WB4RHQ, is monitoring the situation and says.
Here in Nashville and the surrounding counties things are a
bit of a mess still. The explosion did a lot more damage than
was originally thought. AT&T now has about 30 mobile cell units
deployed throughout the area.
The hams are holding a continuous net on a five-repeater linked
system to assist as needed. We are relaying news updates from
AT&T and county governments and assisting callers on AT&T to
implement wireless calling on their phones. In the future we
may start taking traffic and routing it to the state nets.
The monitoring net on the linked system will remain up until
AT&T systems begin to come back online, he added.

THE QNEWS WORK BENCH - the nuts and volts report
Measure Twice cut Once.
Today on the bench a new Wi-Fi
Let's check out Wi-Fi 6 and the 6-GHz band.
It's important not to confuse Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi in the 6-GHz
band as these are two separate, but interconnected, topics.
Wi-Fi 6 is the Wi-Fi Alliances new consumer-friendly name
for the IEEE 802.11ax standard.
The 802.11ac standard has also been renamed Wi-Fi 5;
802.11n is now Wi-Fi 4.
The purpose of this new naming scheme is to make it easier
for we mere mortals to identify device generations without
remembering the complex 802.11 alphabet soup.
So again Wi-Fi 6 signifies the 802.11ax standard.
Now The Band Plays On. - the 6 GHz band that is
The introduction of the 6-GHz band for Wi-Fi use provides
instant gratification for all Wi-Fi 6 users. With enough
spectrum to safely deploy 80-MHz or 160-MHz-wide channels
and green-field deployments alleviating concerns of
backward compatibility, the 6-GHz frequency band could
become the VIP Lounge for Wi-Fi 6 users, where high throughput
rates and congestion-free network access can be instantly
achieved.
The 6-GHz frequency band, also called mid-band spectrum,
spans 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz and is divided into four bands.
All in all, Wi-Fi in the 6-GHz band means instant performance
increases for Wi-Fi 6 users. While there are still interference
issues to be resolved, opening up 6-GHz frequency bands for
Wi-Fi seems to be the move to ensure this widely used
wireless technology can deliver the performance needed for
future applications and networks.
( testandmeasurementtips.com )
BTW Wi-Fi 6 is ready for carrier network deployment
The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) has announced the
conclusion of five trial deployments of Wi-Fi 6 across
diverse markets, showing that with wider channels up to
160 MHz and capacity up to 9.6 Gbps it can enable data rates
nearly three times faster than Wi-Fi 5.
