 The Sesquicentenary of the Overland Telegraph

 On the 22nd August 1872 the construction of the Overland Telegraph
 line between Adelaide and Darwin was completed. This year marks the
 150th anniversary since this achievement. It has been described as
 the greatest engineering feat carried out in nineteenth century
 Australia.

 Within months it was linked to the Java-to-Darwin submarine
 telegraph cable, and Australias communication time with Europe was
 reduced from months to hours. Australias isolation from the rest of
 the world was lessening.

 Charles Todd, South Australian Superintendent of Telegraphs, 1872:
 We have this day, within two years, completed a line of
 communications two thousand miles long through the very
 centre of Australia, until a few years ago a terra incognita
 believed to be a desert. 

 The construction started at both ends, Darwin and Adelaide, and the
 joining point was at Frews Ponds, 25 km south of Dunmarra,
 Northern Territory, on the 22nd of August 1872.

 All telecommunications and the internet in Australia can be pointed
 back to this moment in time. This is the start point. Everything
 evolved from here.

 Even when the two points of the line were a few miles apart, they
 were sending messages by horse-back to complete the gap.

 Alice Springs, which was established as a repeater station, became
 the administrative hub for central Australia.

 WIA VHF - UHF FIELD DAYS

 Roger Harrison VK2ZRH, manager for the VHF-UHF Field Days wrote us
 to say "as contestants are aware, with the passing in January of
 Mike Subocz VK3AVV, developer of the VKCL contest logger and of our
 log-checking software, there has been a hiccup in processing Field
 Day logs while we awaited probate of Mikes estate.

 Field Day events have continued and, in the meantime, we have sought
 to develop a means for determining and publishing results from logs
 submitted.

 For all contestants who submitted logs for the past three Field Days
  that is, the Spring 2021, Summer and Winter 2022 events  I have
 good news. Firstly, all the log files sent to the Field Day log
 uploader on the WIA website have been retrieved successfully.

 Secondly, while you have all been waiting patiently for the
 preparation and publication of results, a small team of problem
 solvers has doggedly worked at finding a log-checking application
 suited to our purpose to satisfy your not unreasonable desire to
 know how you went. 

 And how others went, too.

 Well, a log-checking application suited to our purpose has been
 found and panel-beaten into shape so as to do the job required.

 Accordingly, this past week, work has proceeded to prepare a table
 of claimed scores for the 2021 Spring event from the logs submitted. 

 You will find this posted on the VHF-UHF Field Days website.
 Download it and take a look. 

 For those reading this before Sunday 28th news, you have until
 midnight Saturday 27 August to respond if you have any issues or
 queries.

 Similarly, claimed scores for the 2022 Summer and Winter events will
 be posted to the website also. Likewise, therell be roughly a week
 to review and respond to each.

 Once this process is completed, tables of final scores will be
 compiled and published on the WIA website.

 REGION ONE 

 IARUMS newsletter - Over The Horizon Radars

 IARU Monitoring System (IARUMS) Region 1 newsletter says in July,
 like every month for many years, Over The Horizon Radars were the
 most numerous transmissions causing interference to our HF amateur
 radio bands

 The front runner was the RUS Contayner received in all bands from
 40 to 12 m. The CHN OTHRs sending short bursts were also very active
 and were mostly observed on the 20 m and 15 m bands.

 The International Amateur Radio Union Monitoring System (IARUMS)
 Region 1 July 2022 newsletter can be read at

 iaru-r1.org/



 REGION TWO

 From Baltimore comes the fascinating story, bound to interest all DXers.

 Ever since humans could first observe sunspots about 400 years ago,
 we've been using them to try to define the solar cycle. Approximately
 every 11 years, solar activity such as sunspots and solar flares
 ebbs and flows, causing changes to weather patterns on Earth and
 occasionally threatening telecommunications. Predicting these
 changes reliably could help everyone from farmers to the military.
 Traditionally, scientists have used the concept of a "solar minimum,"
 when solar activity is reduced, to mark the beginning of each cycle.

 But the "solar minimum" framework is somewhat arbitrary and 
 imprecise, explains Robert Leamon, research scientist at the
 Partnership for Heliophysics and Space Environment Research, a UMBC
 partnership with NASA.

 Leamon led new research showing that a "solar clock" based on the
 sun's magnetic field, rather than the presence or absence of
 sunspots, can precisely describe and predict many key changes
 throughout the solar cycle. The new framework offers a significant
 improvement over the traditional sunspot method, because it can
 predict surges in dangerous solar flares or changing weather trends
 years in advance.


 


 REGION THREE

 EARTHQUAKE BALLOONS IN THE STRATOSPHERE:

 If you want to detect an earthquake on Venus--good luck. The planet's
 surface is hot enough to melt lead, and the atmospheric pressure is
 crushing. No ground-based seismometer could possibly survive.

 What's an extra-terrestrial seismologist to do? Launch a balloon.

 For the first time, a network of high-altitude balloons has detected
 a strong earthquake using infrasound sensors in the stratosphere.
 Results from the mission were just published in the Geophysical
 Research Letters. Now that the technique has been proven on Earth,
 researchers want to try it on Venus.

 Full story in thursday aug 11 edition of space weather  @ Spaceweather.com.

 A new paper just published in the Geophysical Research Letters
 reports the detection of a magnitude 7.3 earthquake by a fleet of
 balloons floating through the stratosphere above Indonesia's Flores
 Sea. On-board infrasound sensors registered acoustic waves rippling
 upward from the sea surface below, proving that, here on Earth,
 balloons can be used as seismometers.

 "The same technique should work in the atmosphere of Venus," says
 Raphael Garcia, the study's lead author and a planetary scientist
 at the Institut Suprieur de lAronatique et de lEspace of the
 University of Toulouse. "Balloon-based sensors could float high
 above Venus's deadly surface, collecting data at a safe distance."

 In the fall of 2021, the Centre National dEtudes Spatiales (CNES)
 launched a fleet of 16 balloons from Mah Island in the Seychelles
 archipelago. Unlike ordinary weather balloons, which explode in a
 matter of hours, these were "superpressure balloons," which can
 remain aloft for months. Stratospheric winds carried them over the
 Flores Sea.




 Hams in India have been waiting since 2019 for the return of 
 HamFest India in person and it is now back on the calendar.

 Jim Meachen reporting on ARNewsLine said "The organising committee
 for HamFest India has announced the event's return on the 12th and
 13th of November in Mysore, Karnataka. As with so many other major
 amateur radio events, this well-attended event, which made its debut
 in India in 1991, had not been held in person as a result of the
 COVID-19 pandemic.

 K. Shankar Prasad, VU2SPK, the event's general convenor, said the
 committee is putting together an agenda and a website and both 
 should be available soon. The website is under development at
 www.hfi2022.com


 We finish international news this week and have to say
 
 WE NEVER SAUSAGE A THING

 Over the past few weeks, NewsLine has carried stories about the
 fabulous images transmitted back to Earth from the James Webb
 telescope. Now in WIA's weird and wonderful' an update, a report
 that has.....even more...meat to it. 

 Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away there was a French
 physicist with a report that was also far, far away...in this case,
 from reality: In late July, a very excited scientist, Etienne Klein,
 posted an image on his Twitter account, identifying it as the
 James Webb telescope's highly detailed capture of Proxima Centauri
 which, at 4.2 light years away from Earth, is the closest star to
 the sun. It is so close to the sun, in fact, you might say it
 sizzles.

 In this case, it sizzles like sausage -->
 because that's what it turned out to be:
 a single round slice of chorizo, a type of savoury Spanish smoked
 sausage, in close-up under the camera lens. Klein later admitted his
 post was a light-hearted deception but only after thousands of his
 Twitter followers - who presumably were NOT vegetarians - had
 approved of the image. He told French media later that the tweet was
 meant only as a joke and insisted that any and all reports of
 celestial sausage are, you might say, tough to swallow. 

 You might even call it a bit of baloney.

 WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS - FINAL FRONTIER

 End of mission for two ham radio CubeSats

 The Manila Bulletin reports on two amateur radio CubeSat's, built by
 Philippine students and carrying APRS Digipeaters, that have now
 re-entered the Earth's atmosphere

 The newspaper says:

 After 10 months in orbit, the countrys first local university-built
 Filipino cube satellites, CubeSats Maya-3 and Maya-4 re-entered the
 Earths atmosphere Aug.4 and Aug. 8 respectively, ending their
 mission, the Philippine Space Agency has said.

 Built in a local university setting, the two cube satellites were
 designed and developed by the first batch of scholars under the
 Space Science and Technology Proliferation through University
 Partnerships (STeP-UP) project of the STAMINA4Space Program.

 Maya-3 and Maya-4 were pivotal in the development of the local
 space industry. These CubeSats are experimental and educational
 platforms, and while all low earth orbiting satellites will
 eventually fall to earth, what matters more are the lasting
 intangibles that the project brought  knowledge, skill, partnerships
 and confidence that we can do it, said Dr. Maricor Soriano,
 program leader of STAMINA4Space Program.





 PENNSYLVANIA CLUB MARKS 10TH ANNIVERSARY 'ABOARD' MARS ROVER

 Hams in one Pennsylvania club are celebrating a relationship with
 the Mars rover that began 10 years ago. Randy Sly W4XJ had those
 details on a recent ARNEWSLINE program

 How do you celebrate a 10th anniversary? A Dinner? A Party?

 The Holmesburg Amateur Radio Club in Philadelphia decided to send
 its club call, WM3PEN, on a long vacation that would take 255 days
 to get there. They teamed up with NASAs Mars Science Laboratory
 rover, Curiosity, to visit Bradbury Landing, on Mars.  The boarding
 pass was purchased on April 25, 2011 and Curiosity, with their
 callsign on board, landed on the red planet in early August, 2012.

 Since the landing, Curiosity and WM3PEN have travelled nearly
 18 miles searching for the perfect location for the Dxpedition.

 The folks at WM3PEN also thought it would be a good trip to team up
 with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory since they decided to make it a
 CW event.  To help measure size and distance, the JPL engineers
 carved out the dots and dashes of the letters J-P-L in the tire
 treads. How could a ham argue with a CW buddy along for the ride?

 NASA reports that engineers are devising ways to minimize wear and
 tear and keep the rover rolling: In fact, Curiositys mission was
 recently extended for another three years.

 When asked whats next for the WM3PEN team, callsign trustee
 Bob Josuweit, WA3PZO, said that after just coming off Field Day and
 the 13 Colonies Special Event in June and July, it will be time to
 relax before planning the next adventure.

 Lighthouse weekend is alive now, weekend, 20-21 August and it's a
 great opportunity to chat to a lighthouse and work some rare DX.

 There will be over 350 lighthouses on the air in over 40 countries.
 Germany has 70 registered, USA 41, Australia 38, England 19.
 Some smaller countries with 1 entry are Canary Islands, Cyprus,
 Gibraltar, Iceland, Isle of Man, Latvia, Malta.

 As this will be the 25th anniversary for the International
 Lighthouse Lightship Weekend, one of the Indian supporters has
 organised a set of first day cover postage stamps to be printed.

 After the event there will also be a 25th anniversary certificate
 available for download from the ILLW web site for those who would
 like to have a record of their participation in the event.

 It is interesting to note that some stations have taken part in the
 event every year some, with the same call sign and some at the same
 lighthouse. It is the support of amateurs globally that has grown
 this event into what it has become, one of the most popular events
 in the amateur radio calendar

 RADIO PREPAREDNESS PROJECT BEGINS IN TRIPURA

 A new emergency-preparedness strategy by officials in the
 northeastern Indian state of Tripura is giving high priority to
 amateur radio. 

 As many as nine new amateur radio stations are being set up by the
 government of Tripura in India in an attempt to improve
 communications during disasters. The State Disaster Management
 Agency told reporters during a recent press conference an estimated
 1500 trained volunteers have already stepped forward to operate the
 stations as they become available. The first station will be ready
 to go on the air shortly and will be based at the State Emergency
 Operation Centre in the Secretariat Complex. The remaining eight
 still require proper licences from the Ministry of Communication.

 The state officials said that ten more automated rain gauges and
 seven automated weather stations will also be installed in urban
 areas by India's Meteorological Department.

 Officials said they had hope that these additional measures would
 increase all teams' abilities to provide lifesaving response in the
 state, which is prone to a variety of catastrophes, including
 flash floods, strong winds and heat waves.

 Hi Everyone

 As you have heard here on National News recently,  REAST is having a
 hamfest/conference in Hobart on November 5 and 6 this year Diane
 VK4DI has been busy organising a gathering of Rotarians.

 So far Bill VK4ZD and Diane VK4DI Phil VK2MCB and his wife Carol,
 Peter VK3KCD and John ZL2JPM and his wife Helen are attending.

 some are only going mainly for the weekend plus a day either side
 and others are planning on a longer visit.

 I have booked a table for a ROAR display on the Sunday so no one 
 else needs to book as a vendor / preloved goods unless they want
 their own spot.

 So this is the first chance we've had in recent times to have a
 social get together we thought it would be a good opportunity for
 anyone who is attending to have a meal somewhere in Hobart on Sat
 night.

 Please let us know who's looking at attending so we can get an idea of 
 numbers and make a tentative booking in advance.

 10 GHz QSO between Portugal and Canary Islands

 On July 30 Michael CT1BYM and Cecilio EB8BRZ achieved a contact on
 10 GHz from Portugal to the Canary Islands

 In this translation of a post on the REP site Michael CT1BYM writes:

 During the evening of July 30 a QSO was made between EB8BRZ (IL28HA)
 and CT1BYM (IM57PC). This was my first ever QSO done at 10GHz
 between EA8-CT, using tropospheric propagation, distance around
 1187km. It was also a first for Cecilio, EB8BRZ.

 A sectorial beacon was installed in my balcony, direction EA8, with
 2W and a 10dBi horn, transmitting CW and Opera. The beacon runs
 247, helping identifying the possible QSO window. Beacon runs at
 10368.825MHz, TCXO disciplined.

 The beacon signal was received at EB8BRZ at 19:34UT, so we decided
 to go to SSB immediately.

 At Cecilio, EB8BRZ, the working conditions were a 60cm Procom prime
 focus dish, 2W, IC-705 for IF

 THIS IS REWIND AND THIS IS LINDA VK7QP 

 RTTY turns 100

 On August 9, 1922 a text was typed in an airplane and simultaneously
 printed out at a ground station

 With this experiment, the US Navy Department gave the telex
 procedure wings - exactly 100 years ago. From now on it was possible
 to transmit texts wirelessly at a speed of up to 100 words per
 minute. The ministry immediately pushed for messages to be made
 available in the opposite direction, namely from the ground to the
 plane. It was the birth of radio telex - "RTTY".

 After the Second World War, the first telexes came into the hands of
 radio amateurs, who then modified their transmitters for frequency
 shift keying (FSK). RTTY had now also arrived in the amateur radio
 service.

 With the advent of personal computers at the beginning of the 1980s,
 they replaced the previously widespread electromechanically
 generated RTTY with very simple RTTY programs. With the introduction
 of digital technology and the development of new types of
 transmission such as PSK31 and later FT8, RTTY has lost its previous
 importance in amateur radio. It's different in the maritime radio
 service: Despite modern and fast digital processes, RTTY
 transmissions still have their place there, e.g. to warn of dangers
 or to transmit current sea weather reports to the skippers.
