 The 2nd Meeting of the APT Conference Preparatory Group
 for the World Radio Conference 2023 (APG23-2) was held
 virtually / online from 19 to 23 April.  The meeting was
 organized by the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT).

 More than 700 people were registered from 26 APT Members,
 Associate Members, Affiliate Members, and International
 Organizations including IARU Region 3.

 In the Opening and Plenary session around 500 people were on
 the Zoom screen.

 The Chairman of IARU Region 3 Directors.  Wisnu Widjaja and
 the Secretary of IARU Region 3 Shizuo Endo attended the
 meeting as representatives of IARU Region 3.

 Region 3 Directors Ken Yamamoto and Don Wallace along with
 Dale Hughes of the Wireless Institute of Australia attended
 as members of their administrations delegations.

 It was advisedat VU2UR Manohar Arasu, former Monitoring
 Manager for R3 became silent key on April 28 due to Covid.
 He was a Life member of Amateur Radio Society of India
 (ARSI) and was the Frequency Monitor for several years
 filing intrusion reports with the IARU-R3 representing ARSI.  
He was well known in Amateur circles and had won more than 
1200 certificates and plaques and received recognition from 
organizations across the globe.

 The IARU region 3 newsletter has bid farewell to Editor
 Peter, VK3MV who, for health reasons, has had to retire
 from his IARU roles.  Thanks for a job well done .
 Don Wallace, ZL2TLL, Director IARU Region 3 is the new Editor.
 




 A manufacturer here in Brisbane, Australia, is claiming to
 have created an aluminum-ion battery with a charging speed
 as much as 60 times faster than that of top-quality
 lithium-ion cells.

 The company, Graphene Manufacturing Group, also says the
 newly developed aluminum-ion coin cell is capable of holding
 three times the energy of other aluminum-based cells. The
 batteries are said to last three times longer than the
 lithium-ion variety.

 This development relies on nanotechnology developed at the
 University of Queensland, according to a recent article in
 Forbes magazine. The battery was created by inserting
 aluminum atoms into perforations made in graphene planes.

 The company claims that because the batteries lack an upper
 Ampere limit that would otherwise cause spontaneous
 overheating, the batteries are also safer. The stable base
 materials also facilitate their recycing later.

 The company hopes to bring these cells to market by the end
 of 2021 or early 2022.

 (ARNewsLine)


 Also in Brisbane Grith University researchers, working
 alongside a US team of scientists, have developed an
 antiviral treatment that cut the COVID-19 viral load in
 infected mice by 99.9 per cent.

 The breakthrough nanoparticle treatment could be available
 as early as 2023, depending on the next phase of clinical
 trials.

 Again, like the incredible battery researh and Covid vaccine
 trials conducted by UQ, this team of scientists from the
 Menzies Health Institute Queensland at Brisbanes Griffith
 University are leading the way throughtout the world.
  
 Back in the USA, US chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci has
 pointed out that, while we now have coronavirus vaccines,
 there is a lack of targeted treatments for the virus. This
 is really one of the first cabs off the rank in terms of a
 direct therapeutic, so we are really excited, Professor
 McMillan said.

 The breakthrough also raises hopes that future pandemics
 will be less devastating as the treatment is designed to
 work on all betacoronaviruses.

 WIA Satellite Policy

 At its most recent meeting the Board of the WIA adopted a
 policy on support for Amateur Satellite Applications.

 The draft policy document had been published on the WIA web
 site for several weeks and the board took into consideration
 submissions received.

 The purpose of this policy document is to provide some
 guidance to the WIA Executive on making decisions when
 approached by organisations seeking WIA support or 
 endorsement for their satellite mission and agreement for
 the use of amateur service frequency allocations for
 operation of satellites and associated ground control
 stations.

 As listeners are well aware the Wireless Institute of
 Australia  is the National Society of Radio Amateurs in
 Australia. The WIA is recognised by the International
 Amateur Radio Union (IARU), an international confederation
 of national amateur radio organisations, as the sole
 Australian Amateur Radio peak body.

 The IARU requires the endorsement of the national body for
 any satellite project seeking to utilise service frequency
 allocations

 The WIA has already provided support for the Binar-1
 satellite program initiated by the Space Science and
 Technology Centre of Curtin University. Binar-1 is due
 to be launched this August

 Tentative approval has been given to the CSIROs satellite
 program

 It was agreed that when considering an application for an
 Amateur Satellite service request that it was important to
 follow certain guidelines before approval would be given.
 If the mission is seen to meet these requirements and is in
 the general interests of the amateur service and the WIA,
 support and endorsement of the proposed mission may be given,
 otherwise it should be withheld.

 The Board of the WIA wish thank contributors in drafting
 this policy document especially the contributions of
 Dale VK1DSH.

 Read a summary of the policy document on the WIA news page
  and follow a link to the full satellite policy document.

 This has been WIA Secretary Peter VK8ZZ

 A Spy in Every Embassy

 'The intelligence coup of the century'.
 The extraordinary story of the longest running and most
 successful secret intelligence operation of the 20th Century.

 For more than half a century, governments all over the world
 trusted a single company, Swiss-based Crypto AG, to keep the
 communications of their spies, soldiers and diplomats secret.
 But what none of its customers ever knew was that Crypto AG
 was owned for over 20 Cold War years by the CIA in
 partnership with the BND, the German Intelligence Service.

 Crypto AGs own secret was only cracked last year in a
 combined investigation by German ZDF television, Swiss SRF
 and the Washington Post
 
 A Spy in Every Embassy is the story of the story, presented
 by German intelligence journalist Peter F Muller, who
 produced last years television programme for ZDF, and
 British journalist David Ridd.

 An audio programme considers the collateral damage of
 deception on a grand scale and is available in the BBC 
 archives.

 REGION ONE

 Netherlands amateur radio society VERON has released a
 summary of the results of its 2021 member survey. a survey
 with a confidence level of the results being 99% with a
 margin of error of just 3%. 

 52% of members indicate that they are regularly or often
 engaging in self-construction.

 Sadly, and one might suspect we in VK are in the same boat,
 the 2021 interest survey asked whether members participate
 in youth activities. An overwhelming majority, almost 72%,
 say they never organize or participate in youth activities.

 In the Netherlands, as elsewhere in the world, Ham Radio is
 still unknown to the general public and is often associated
 with on air piracy, 'unknown makes unloved.' VERON have asked
 members to make sure that our hobby is positively in the
 news. 



 With some 8 production units in Finland, Estonia and Russia
 WISA plywood is quite well known to our Region One friends.

 NOW WISA is about to be known globally, thanks to the
 WISA Woodsat project, a satellite about to be sent into
 orbit by years end.

 Although we've mentioned this unique PR project from WISA
 previously on WIA National News more information is being
 revealed including its ability to extend a 'selfie stick'
 to capture photographs of the wooden box as it hurtles
 through space at 40,000 kilometres per hour. This will allow
 the mission leaders to monitor the impact of the environment
 on the plywood.

 The satellite would downlink its telemetry and images from
 two cameras using amateur radio frequencies.



 Scientists at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology
 and their colleagues from the University of Graz and the
 Kanzelhohe Observatory (Austria) along with the European
 Space Operations Centre have developed a method and software
 ( called RESONANCE ) to predict the solar radio flux activity
 for 1-24 months ahead. 

 RESONANCE will serve to improve the specification of
 satellite orbits, re-entry services, modelling of space debris
 evolution, and collision avoidance manoeuvres. 

 The research results were published in the high-profile
 Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series.

 REGION THREE

 Well this story although originating from Region 3 actually
 takes us on an intergalactic ride.

 The United States now has company on MARS.

 A Chinese spacecraft descended through the thin Martian
 atmosphere and landed safely on a large plain on, May 14
 accomplishing a feat that only two other nations had before.

 The Tianwen-1 mission launched from Region 3 here on
 Mother Earth last July, consists of an orbiter, a lander
 and a rover.



 JAPAN ANNOUNCES AWARD

 RCI English section: goodbye

 Canadas international broadcast service from the English
 language team of Radio Canada International has come to an
 end. RCI, (originally the International Service, CBC-IS) was
 initially created towards the end of the Second World War.

 The purpose was to broadcast news and information from home
 via shortwave to Canadian military personnel fighting in
 Europe. It also began providing reliable news and information
 to recently liberated countries and to Germans still in the
 war. That reliable news and information was considered of
 great value during the subsequent Cold War years, as several
 more languages were added to the service. 

 With 14 language sections in 1990, and some 200 staff, the
 full English and French newsroom provided news of interest
 and importance for each language section and specifically
 targeted to each of the various broadcast regions around the
 world.

 In December 2020, the domestic public broadcaster
 CBC / Radio-Canada announced that the English and French
 sections of RCI would close for good in May.

 That date has come, and RCI has closed.

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

 The SpaceX SN-15 flew, landed, and failed to explode, unlike
 its predecessors.

 Starship SN15 ascended through low lying cloud cover,
 performed a nominal climb to 10 km, then belly-flopped, and
 finally completed a successful two-Raptor soft landing.
 A small methane fire at the base of the vehicle was again
 visible after landing, possibly due to a thermal protection
 blanket coming loose and catching fire. But, unlike previous
 tests, the fire did not appear to be caused by structural
 damage.

 In further news from SpaceX, they have revealed the flight
 plan for the first orbital test launch of the companys huge
 stainless steel Starship rocket, a 90-minute, around-the-world
 mission that will originate from South Texas and culminate
 with a controlled re-entry and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean
 near Hawaii.

 When fully assembled, this gigantic reusable rocket will
 stand nearly 120 meters tall, making the Starship stack the
 largest launcher ever built.

 The company expects the un-crewed demonstration mission to
 occur sometime this year, 2021 after June 20th.

 VK2 - MayHam (Wyong Race Course) May 30               (vk2ji)

       OK, we've got Hammy back in his sty - he's so excited

       you will be coming with old "treasures" to sell in the
       undercover car boot sale area and don't mention to the
       wife that you could be bringing some newer stuff back
       with you from Wyong!

       Some lucky buggas are going to win the raffle and with
       an Anytone 878, an Anytone D578UV Pro and an ICOM IC-705
       as the three main prizes. Lots of people will be buying
       several of the $5 raffle tickets I think! If you don't
       win the raffle, there's 25 trader tables with new gear 
       in air-conditioned comfort, at the best prices to whet
       your appetite. With so many car boot sales spots you'll
       need to go around a few times to make sure you don't
       miss that bargain.

       As always Wyong will be well catered and is the
       absolute best place to meet up with mates old and new.
       It's time to put the depressing last year behind you
       and come and celebrate all that is good in our hobby
       at Wyong!
