 LOT'S LOT MORE IN THIS EARLY EDITION OF NEWS FROM
 THE WIRELESS INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA - ANZAC DAY 2012 

 Our Southern area of Tasmania viewers and listeners are in
 for a treat at REAST's May presentation night, it's on
 lightning, whistlers and other phenomena by VK7MJ,
 Dr. Mike Groth.

 While Army Signallers in the trenches in France during the
 First World War were using early valve amplifiers to detect
 the earth currents generated by the field telephones in the
 enemy trenches, they discovered that the earth generated a
 range of strange audio frequency signals, including clicks,
 tweaks, and whistling.

 These remained a scientific curiosity for almost 40 years,
 until the International Geophysical Year in 1957-8, when
 they became a tool for exploring the electrical and magnetic
 properties of the Earths magnetosphere, this, before the
 development of specialised geophysical monitoring satellites
 in the 1970s.

 This will be another fascinating presentation from Mike and
 is on May 5 in the Queens Domain clubrooms and will be
 streamed via the REAST YouTube channel.

 WIA Vice President, Lee Moyle VK3GK.

 Today is a very special day, Anzac Day, 25 April, is one of
 Australias most important national occasions. It marks the
 anniversary of the first major military action fought by
 Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War
 and commemorates all the conflicts that followed.

 Today is one of the few days during the year that the ACMA
 allow us to replace the VK prefix with the AX prefix in
 commemoration of Anzac Day. Make sure you get on air and
 contact some AX prefix users, or even better operate on the
 HF bands and work some DX, as many overseas stations and
 award hunters will be looking to contact the special AX
 prefix.

 Many members have been enquiring about the WIA AGM.

 The Board met last Tuesday and it was at the top of the
 discussions. The AGM date and venue are being finalized and
 once confirmed, we will inform our members via the website,
 social media and memnet. The Covid issues are still at the
 forefront of venue decisions as boarder closures can happen
 quickly putting our AGM plans in jeopardy. We plan to have a
 physical venue and members can also join in as was done last
 year via an online zoom session.  Location, date and time to
 be announced in the up coming weeks.

 The AGM is when the four directors fill the vacancies and
 will be joining the board for the next two years of their
 terms. Voting for your preferred candidates is still open
 but please consider posting off to the WIA HQ quickly, to
 enable your vote to count. Keep in mind that ballot
 submissions close April 30th.  I look forward to working with
 the new board members creating a successful team delivering
 new member benefits and to propel the WIA into 2022.

 At the AGM many awards and commendations are announced.
 Do you know of someone who is a deserving recipient?
 If so, then email the WIA office with your suggestion
 and a short note detailing the persons contribution to the
 Amateur Radio community. 

 Have you downloaded and used your member benefits card yet?
 If not then log in to memnet, and download your card included
 on your last receipt. Reports in from ecstatic members are
 suggesting savings on some purchases are well in excess of
 the cost of WIA membership. Now that is a great deal. 

 VK 20 HOME is the WIA special event callsign for members to
 use while Covid is amongst us. It is current 'til December 31
 2021. We have been very lucky in Australia but in many places
 around the globe, strict lockdowns are still occurring.
 Check the WIA website and Special Event pages to book your
 time slot for use.

 ACMA - WIA 

 While the WIA has been focused on the main class licence
 submission, it seems the team has also been monitoring the
 ACMA consultation pages for other issues that may affect the
 amateur service due to ammendments.

 Among specific instruments being amended was the Overseas
 Amateurs Visiting Australia Class Licence 2015. This class
 licence is used today to authorise visiting qualified radio
 amateurs to operate amateur radio stations within Australia
 for a period of up to 90 days. It is equivalent to the
 existing Radiocommunications Licence Conditions
 (Amateur Licence) Determination 2015 that domestic amateur
 licensees are bound by.

 In short, new proposals sees a disparity between we locals
 and our bretheren visiting (when they are able) from
 overseas ports.

 The WIA has contacted ACMA via submission hoping to retain
 EME management parity between domestic and overseas visiting
 amateur licensees. The WIA will be watching this issue
 closely.

 Much more detail is on WIA frnt page news on wia.org.au

 INTERNATIONAL NEWS With thanks to IARU, RSGB, RAC,
 Southgate AR Club, ARRL,  NZART, AMATEUR RADIO NEWSLINE
 & the World Wide sources of the WIA.  


 REGION ONE

 An additional 10 local BBC radio stations are turning off
 their Medium Wave transmitters for good this year. 

 In addition, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Gloucestershire
 will reduce AM coverage.

 The BBCs intention to close MW transmitters was first
 announced ten years ago in 2011, then in 2018 the
 corporation commenced with these and continued them in 2020
 across Scotland, Wales, and England.

 A large and increasing share of radio listening in the UK
  including to the BBC  is digital, and the BBC is
 committed to a digital future for radio. In recent years
 BBC have made a significant investment in local DAB
 expansion, all local radio stations are available on
 digital terrestrial TV (such as Freeview), and they have
 transformed online and mobile offering with BBC Sounds.




 HarmfulcoronaviruscontentonLoveworldbreaks broadcasting
 rules for third time.

 An Ofcom investigation in the UK has found that coronavirus
 coverage on the religious satellite television channel
 Loveworld breached broadcasting rules for a third time.

 During two episodes of a current affairs programme,
 Full Disclosure, presenters made a number of materially
 misleading and potentially harmful statements about the
 coronavirus pandemic and vaccines, which were made without
 scientific or other credible basis, and which went without
 sufficient context or challenge.

 It is legitimate for broadcasters to discuss and scrutinise
 the public health response to the coronavirus pandemic,
 including the potential side effects of vaccinations and it
 is in the public interest to do so. But Loveworlds
 presentation of misleading claims without sufficient
 challenge or context risked potential serious harm to
 viewers, particularly at a time when people were likely
 to be seeking reliable information relating to the UKs
 vaccination programme.

 As I said, this is the third time that harmful coronavirus
 related content on Loveworld has broken Ofcoms rules.





 REGION TWO

 On April 20, the FCCs Enforcement Bureau issued a new
 Enforcement Advisory, repeating the admonishments contained
 in a January Advisory that no licensee or user of the
 Amateur or Personal Radio Services may use any radio
 equipment in connection with unlawful activities of any
 nature.

 The Commission specifically cautioned that individuals found
 to have used radios in connection with any illegal activity
 are subject to severe penalties, including significant
 fines, seizure of the offending equipment, and in some cases,
 criminal prosecution.

 In addition, licensees should be aware that illegal
 operation in any service or band, including completely
 outside the amateur allocations, could potentially
 disqualify a person from holding any FCC license in any
 service, not just the Amateur Service.




 The Caribbean Emergency and Weather Net (CEWN) has been
 providing round-the-clock coverage during the La Soufriere
 volcanic eruption on the island of Saint Vincent and the
 Grenadines. Several neighbouring islands are also still being
 affected by the disaster.

 When responding to disasters and emergencies such as this,
 the CEWN utilizes 3.185 MHz LSB and 7.188 MHz LSB.

 CEWN is requesting that all radio hams not involved in the
 volcano response to keep those frequencies clear.





 REGION THREE

 IARU R3 Disaster Management Coordinator role

 The role of IARU Region 3 DM Coordinator has become vacant.
 
 The overall role is (but not limited to) to circulate and
 publicise information within Region 3 on emergency events
 in which the Amateur Radio Service has been involved.

 WIRELESS WEATHER 


 BALTIMORESUN.COM SAY:-

 Astronomers have charted the sun's cycle of sunspot maximum and 
 minimum for hundreds of years. The roughly 11-year cycle includes
 a maximum as the number of dark visible sunspots crescendos followed
 by a diminishing number of spots leading to the cycle minimum.

 In the most recently completed cycle, the number of sunspots
 noticeably diminished. The cycle's sunspot maximum was the lowest
 since the opening decade of the 20th century. Another of the cycles
 statistics, the average daily sunspot count was the lowest since this
 statistic started being tracked in the mid-1800s.

 HOWEVER a team from the National Centre for Atmospheric Research is
 predicting that we can expect the current cycle to deliver the
 strongest sunspot turnout on record. The prediction is based on yet
 another cycle on top of the usual 11-year cycle. Indeed, a couple of
 large, highly complex sunspot groups formed near the end of the year
 2020.

 interference observations, 'one cannot even count them anymore'

 "Presumably there are only a few stations transmitting on often
 changing frequencies. In contrast to the past, they are more and more
 burst systems which usually transmit for only a few seconds, then the
 frequency is changed. Only the OTHR "Contayner" and "Pluto"
 (UK base Cyprus) each transmit on a frequency for a longer period of
 time."

 WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS - FINAL FRONTIER
 AMSAT-VK Secretary - secretary@amsat-vk.org

 Last Monday, NASAs Ingenuity Mars Helicopter became the
 first "air-craft" to make a powered, controlled flight on
 another planet. The Ingenuity team at the agencys
 Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California confirmed
 the flight succeeded after receiving data from the helicopter
 via NASAs Perseverance Mars rover.
 
 NASA Associate Administrator for Science Thomas Zurbuchen 
 announced the name for the Martian airfield on which the 
 flight took place.

 Now, 117 years after the Wright brothers succeeded in
 making the first flight on our planet, NASAs Ingenuity
 helicopter has succeeded in performing this amazing feat on
 another world, Zurbuchen said. While these two iconic
 moments in aviation history may be separated by time and
 173 million miles of space, they now will forever be linked.

 As an homage to the two innovative bicycle makers from
 Dayton, this first of many airfields on other worlds will
 now be known as Wright Brothers Field, in recognition of
 the ingenuity and innovation that continue to propel
 exploration.

 We say it's an aircraft, well it is. However relative to
 Earth, the air on Mars is extremely thin.

 Standard sea-level air pressure on Earth is 1,013 millibars.

 On Mars the surface pressure varies through the year but it
 averages 6 to 7 millibars. That's less than one percent of
 sea level pressure here on Mother Earth.

 A linked repeater system in Tennessee provided a
 communications lifeline for a woman hiking in a
 national park.

 Amateur Radio's Kevin Trotman N5PRE brings us that story.

 "A woman in distress while hiking with a group inside the
 Great Smoky Mountain National Park was brought to safety
 with the help of communications over the W4KEV repeater 
 system in Tennessee. With no cellular service available in
 the park, hiker Timothy Luttrell KA9EBJ used his HT to hit
 the repeater in Gatlinburg which was linked to one in
 Knoxville which was being monitored by David Manuel W5DJR.

 Timothy told David that a woman in the hiking party had
 suffered exhaustion and possibly dehydration and needed
 assistance. David notified Emergency Medical Service as well
 as a medic who was part of the park search team to help
 assess her condition via a series of questions. Meanwhile,
 phone calls were placed to the hiker's family. With
 questions relayed over the repeater, the medic determined
 the woman was stable enough to accompany the other hikers
 as they continued slowly down the trail, maintaining
 contact when possible.
 
 Arrangements were made for the hikers to meet with search
 and rescue officers in a parking area  and ultimately for
 the woman's safe pickup by her family.

 For Amateur Radio NewsLine I'm Kevin Trotman N5PRE."



 A similar yet not related item came across the wires this
 week, it seems the keen and practiced eye of ARRL member
 Ben Kuo, AI 6 YR, helped to guide rescuers to a hiker
 stranded on a mountainside. The hiker had spent the night
 in a remote region of the Angeles National Forest after
 getting in a tough spot.

 After a concerned friend reported him missing, the
 Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department dispatched
 search-and-rescue teams.

 Although amateur radio played no direct role in the rescue,
 AI 6 YR cited his enthusiasm for technology and ham radio
 satellites and for Summits on the Air for helping him to
 develop the skills he needed to guide searchers to the most
 appropriate area. He was able to determine the hikers
 likely location using the tiny photo the hiker posted on
 Twitter that shows his legs and the valley below.

 AI 6 YR set to work pulling publicly available satellite
 images and matching them to the vegetation and terrain
 below the hikers legs. His eye was good. He sent
 authorities the GPS coordinates of the most likely area and
 the rescue team found the man in distress less than a mile
 from that location.




 SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS - VHF AND ABOVE (The Plumbers Delight) 

 UK amateurs continue to create new DX records on the 122GHz
 band. Using barely one milliwatt, a new all-time UK record
 was set between Roger, G 8 CUB and Chris, G 0 FDZ, from 
 Danbury Hill in Essex to the Isle of Sheppey, a distance of
 nearly 36 km.

 This is all the more remarkable given the very low powers 
 and high atmospheric loss due to an oxygen resonance that
 affects this particular microwave band.
