 Peter VK8ZZ WIA Secretary and Board Member reports:-

 In 2020 the Board of the WIA supported the Binar-1 small satellite/CubeSat
 mission which was launched from the ISS by Curtin University.

 Binar-1 is a 1U CubeSat currently in low-Earth orbit (LEO) and was a
 technical demonstrator of in-house developed hardware that aimed to
 become a repeatable platform for research and educational purposes.

 This year the Board of the WIA agreed to support the upcoming mission 2
 that will see satellites: Binar-2, Binar-3 and Binar-4 be deployed
 from the ISS in the same way as Binar-1 into LEO. A subsequent
 mission 3 will follow about a year later with three more CubeSats
 (Binar-5,6 and 7) to also be delivered into Low Earth Orbit.

 Part of the Binar mission is to try to make it easier for young,
 enthusiastic students to learn more about and how to use amateur
 radio in a way which directly relates to STEM. We believe that this
 specific use of amateur radio is a fantastic crossover opportunity
 for education and encouragement of STEM. Previously young students
 were constrained by resources, and current progtam wants to provide
 a platform where students - both high-school and university - can
 learn about amateur radio, spacecraft, their operations, and science
 experiments flying onboard the spacecraft.

 The satellites in Launch 2 will be Binar-2, 3, 4 will have a
 multiband radio, capable of operating in the amateur band. The radio
 frequencies are allocated in the 70cm Amateur Satellite Radio band 
 and, as required by local and international regulatory bodies
 (ACMA, ITU, IARU), will be coordinated through the IARU
 (International Amateur Radio Union) with the support of the
 Wireless Institute of Australia as the national association for
 Amateur Radio in Australia .

 The main purpose of the usage of the amateur-satellite band
 allocation onboard the Satellites in Launches 2 and 3 is to provide
 a platform to educate high school and university students on
 satellite technology.

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

 REGION ONE 

 ARDC grants 99,915 Euros to Finnish ham radio club

 Finland's national amateur radio society, the S.R.A.L. reports the 
 OH 2 CH radio club applied for and got a grant of 99,915 Euros

 The SRAL say:

 Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) is a private foundation
 whose mission is to support the science and technology of amateur 
 radio and digital communications
 
 ampr.org

 The almost 150,000 AUD (99,915 Euro) grant is for the implementation
 of an independent 5GHz IP backbone network focused on radio amateur
 services connecting digital and analogue repeaters maintained by the
 club together and enable access to AMPRNet services and the internet.





 REGION TWO

 On July 28 Innovation Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED)
 released an update to a very important document for Canadian Radio
 Amateurs:

 The document specifies what frequencies they may operate on and with
 what bandwidths.

 There are two major new additions to the Canadian Spectrum:

 * 472 to 479 kHz, also known as 630 metres:
   maximum of five watts EIRP, using emissions with a maximum
   bandwidth of 1 kHz.

* 5351.5 to 5366.5 kHz in the 60 metre band:
  Canadian Amateurs are allowed to run a maximum of 100 watts ERP,
  using emissions with a maximum bandwidth of 2.8 kHz.

 The new 60 metre band is in addition to their existing
 fixed-frequency allocations at 5332, 5348, 5373 and 5405 kHz.
 Canadian Amateurs are unique in having authority to use 100 watts
 ERP on the four spot frequencies and on the new 15 kHz segment.




 RADIO SEIZED FOR INTERFERING WITH POLICE TRANSMISSIONS

 In Texas, authorities cracked down after a hand-held radio caused
 emergency interference with police transmissions. Mike Askins
 KE5CXP speaking on ARNewsLine said that it had operated for
 months on emergency frequencies used by the Young County Sheriff's
 Office. According to local media reports, the transmissions on the
 dispatch channels often included the voices of a man, woman and some
 children yelling at one another and the sounds of a barking dog.

 A story in the Olney Enterprise newspaper said that the police were
 so hampered in using their own assigned frequencies that they often
 had to use cell phones instead to communicate.

 Sheriff Travis Babcock contacted the Federal Communications
 Commission which provided him with an official statement to read on
 the emergency channel but that failed to bring the transmissions to
 a halt. The news report said that on July 8th two officers patrolling
 in their car heard the unauthorized traffic and were able to track
 down the radio and its owner. 

 It was not clear what charges would be filed against the owners of
 the radio, which is now the property of the county sheriff's office.
 Charges could range from a misdemeanour for interfering with public
 duty to a federal offense for interfering with emergency
 communications.




 BRIDGE WORKS AHEAD

 SpaceX and NASA have delayed the launch of the next U.S. crew flight
 to the International Space Station to no earlier than Sept. 29, 
 allowing time for ground teams to replace an interstage on the
 missions new Falcon 9 booster after it was damaged during transport.

 The Falcon 9 booster stage, riding horizontally on a truck and
 trailer, struck a bridge during the trip from SpaceXs factory in
 California, to the companys test facility in Texas.





 REGION THREE

 Radio broadcasting still crucial in Sarawak

 The Borneo Post reports on the importance of radio broadcasting in
 Sarawak

 The newspaper says:
 Radio broadcasting has imprinted a profound impact on society since
 its conception in the early 20th century and despite the emergence
 of digital platforms, it remains one of the most powerful
 communication tools up to this day.

 According to Radio Television Malaysia (RTM), Sarawak Radio Services
 in Sarawak continue to play an important role in reaching out to the
 masses especially in the rural areas that have yet to have digital
 accessibility, but can be reached through receptions on bands,
 waves or radio frequency transmissions either via FM or Short Wave.

 The SW band is still needed, especially in the interiors, for the 
 delivery of information and to keep listeners up-to-date about whats
 going on the Borneo Post said.

 encourages international communication.

 Our WIA News Editor explains how it works.

 "Yes there are awards to be had in the 42nd contest sponsored by the
 Australian Ladies Amateur Radio Association. There are even
 certificates and trophies - but organisers want participants around
 the world to know that the real goal of the 42nd annual ALARA
 Contest on the 27th and 28th of August is to get all licensed ham
 radio operators around the world - OMs and YLs alike - talking to
 one another. By spotting on the clusters and even on Facebook, all
 the competitors actually work together to make it easier to make
 those important contacts.

 Competition?

 Yes! But friendly competition.

 Be listening too for some of the newest licenced YLs as well as
 Girl Guides and Scouts. Some contacts are expected to be made on
 EchoLink as well.

 NASAs Shane Kimbrough, KE5HOD, Retiring After 18 Years As An
 Astronaut

 NASA has announced the retirement, on July 31, of Astronaut Shane
 Kimbrough, KE5HOD. The retired U.S. Army colonel spent a total of
 388 days in space, landing him fifth on the list of record holders 
 for cumulative time in space for all NASA astronauts.

 He flew three different spacecraft  the space shuttle, Soyuz, and
 SpaceX Crew Dragon  and he performed nine spacewalks during his
 spaceflights.

 KE5HOD was recently the commander of NASAs SpaceX Crew-2 mission to
 the International Space Station, the second long-duration mission
 for the Crew Dragon spacecraft, and the longest spaceflight for a
 U.S. human spacecraft. Throughout the mission, Kimbrough and the
 Expedition 65 crew performed more than 250 scientific investigations
 designed to benefit all of humanity and help future exploration.




 WEBB TELESCOPE SUSTAINS UNCORRECTABLE DAMAGE

 The James Webb Space Telescope, which recently
 transmitted its first colour images to us here on Earth,
 has suffered serious damage following a micrometeoroid strike. 

 Scientists said in a recent report that the impact sustained 
 in late May may have disrupted the space telescope's operation
 more than first believed. The scientists wrote that they believe
 that the problems are not correctable. Their biggest concern 
 is the long-term effect on the primary mirror, which scientists
 believe will be degraded as a result of the meteoroid strike.

 Operating Tips for FM Satellites

 Recent abuses on AO-91, and continued bedlam on FM satellites
 generally, have raised a growing number of complaints among
 operators and control stations. AMSAT NORTH AMERICA (AMSAT-NA)
 have published some tips to help everyone enjoy these satellites
 and avoid being labelled as a "bad actor"

 LISTEN!

 These satellites are almost always busy when over populated areas.
 If you aren't hearing activity on the downlink, it is unwise to make
 a "blind" call on the uplink frequency. Getting into the satellite
 is often easier than hearing it. Make certain you copy the downlink
 before transmitting.

 AND  NO  CQs.

 FM satellites have a single channel and many stations are attempting
 to use the channel in a limited time. There is no time for calling
 CQ, or for repeatedly announcing your own call. Instead, listen for
 stations already active on the pass, and when you have an opportunity,
 make a call to a specific station you wish to work.

 VK4 lsteners to QNEWS and those hearing it via Tony VK7AX's site
 heard this last week but for the rest of we hams around the globe, 
 listen up for  Mark VK4DMH for the Gold Coast Amateur Radio Society.

 The Gold Coast Amateur Radio Society was asked to help with radio 
 communications at the recent Kokoda Challenge. The 96km course with
 around 3,300 participants mostly walking, a few jogging, passes
 through some very isolated bushland walking tracks in the Gold Coast
 Hinterland.

 Check point 3 had no radio coverage for both emergency services and
 commercial 2-ways radio, and no mobile phone coverage. Check point 4
 had limited commercial 2-way and mobile phone coverage when you
 stood on one spot of a hill.

 The Gold Coast club did field tests before the event, then setup a
 2 metre & 70cm radio network, with 40 metres being used as backup.

 Seven Amateur Radio operators were positioned at three of the check
 points, a mountain top radio relay site, and the events Joint
 Operations Centre.

 Ralf VK4GCR was at the heavily rainforest Check Point 3, and handled
 numerous requests for assistance. One particular request was a
 priority medical case where Amateur Radio was used to request an
 ambulance, and relay vital medical details between paramedics.

 Peter VK4LUB, Aidan VK4APM, and Nigel VK4AMP were positioned at
 check points 4 & 6, and used our radio network to request transport
 for exhausted participants, do welfare checks, and follow up on a 
 few people that had gone missing.

 Jamie VK4XD and Geoff VK2DLA looked after the mountain top relay
 site, where a 2 metre repeater was used in the club's communications
 trailer, with an antenna on a 11.2 metre pneumatic mast. This
 allowed the three check points to communicate directly with myself
 (VK4DMH) back at the Joint Operations Centre.

 All of our team members were pleased with their work for the day,
 and reported great cooperation between the Amateur Radio operators,
 the event organisers and emergency services. 

 The Kokoda Challenge management have already asked us to help again
 next year.

 Youth Mentorship program launched by Radio Club of America

 The worlds oldest wireless society has launched a new mentorship
 initiative to encourage youths to tap into wireless and STEM-related
 careers.

 Again this week Alex VK2APC joins us.

 The Radio Club of America Mentorship Program will provide
 opportunities for young professionals to learn from the experiences
 of more seasoned RCA members. After completing an application to
 participate in the year-long program, interested members will be
 contacted by a mentorship committee and then matched with an 
 appropriate mentor or mentee. 

 A set of guidelines for both mentors and mentees include setting a
 series of specific goals, defining expectations and honouring
 diversity, equity and inclusion in the program.

 RCA recognized that an important new value for our membership was
 to have our more experienced members provide help to members who
 were relatively new to the wireless industry, said John Facella,
 RCA president.
