 1 - 31 January Ross Hull Memorial VHF/UHF DX Contest ( Marathon )
         
        The contest was established in 1950 to honour the memory of
        the late Ross A. Hull and his pioneering achievements in the
        study of tropospheric propagation and the development of new
        equipment techniques for the higher bands.

        Entrants may operate on every contest day, but the final score
        is based on the best seven days nominated by the entrant.

        For amateurs with limited operating time, there is also a
        "Best 2 Days" section.

 26th of January Australia Day Contest

 After last years successful running of the Australia Day contest,
 comments were in favour of making the contest a global event.  There
 was a strong indication for distance-based scoring and the inclusion
 of FT8/4. 

 A suggested rule set was forwarded to the contest committee for their
 input.  On agreement with the new rules, we now have the following
 outcome. 

 1. The contest is open to all amateurs worldwide on 160, 80, 40, 20,
    15 and 10 meters.

 2. Scoring is based on distance, calculated on 4-character grid
    squares exchange.

 3. Phone, CW and Mixed categories with a separate digital category
    for FT8/FT4. a. A log can contain all modes and on submission,
                    digital contacts will be pulled from the log and
                    put into the digital category while also keeping
                    an operator in the phone and CW sections.

 4. WSJT-X users can operate as normal as the .adi file can be
    imported into N1MM logger for scoring and log creation. Make sure
    a new .adi file is used for the contest. As no serial number is
    needed, the standard 4 character grid square used during normal
    operation is all that'?''?'s required.
 
 5. VKCL will not cater for this contest, so make sure N1MM logger is
    ready to go.
 
 6. The User Defined Contest required to be loaded with N1MM is 
    available from vk4sn.com under contests.
 
 7. It is evident that a lot of operators are migrating over to N1MM.
    For new users a N1MM help file for this contest is available at
    the end of the rules. Download it from the WIA contest pages.

 NEW SMARTPHONE MODELS GAIN SATELLITE ACCESS

 In this new year, sat-phone users and amateur radio operators won't
 be the only ones who can bounce radio signals off satellites.

 ARNewsLine say some smartphones are gaining a new capability this
 year: direct satellite access. Text-messaging that uses satellite
 communications will be possible for some consumers using Huawei and
 Apple devices. While Apple and Huawei expect to use older satellites
 that are already in orbit by putting new chips in their flagship
 handsets, new low-Earth-orbit satellite networks are also being built.

 Those are in the works from start-up companies Lynk Global and
 AST SpaceMobile, which hope to provide service to 5G phones in areas
 without terrestrial coverage.

 Observers note that this satellite functionality on smartphones will
 not include the ability to make phone calls or to stream data but its
 added capacity of texting will provide another means of calling for
 help in an emergency in regions where the caller has a clear view to
 the sky.

 Working in partnership with Globalstar, Apple devices have offered a
 service called Emergency SOS via satellite since last November.
 Huawei however has not yet announced the date of its rollout. 




 REGION ONE

 ITALY

 Marconi Was Here! is an international amateur radio award organised
 by ARI Fidenza Radio Club with the main objective of the award being
 to commemorate, historically, some of the most important and
 significant Italian cities where Marconi performed scientific
 experiments in radio engineering, long distance communications,
 radio direction-finding and others; experiments that, in the
 following periods, revealed themselves to be crucial for technical
 and scientific advancement and the progress of wireless
 communications.

 The award period lasts the whole of this year.

 Each month is being dedicated to a specific Italian city connected
 to the story of Guglielmo Marconi and is paired to a different
 special callsign. January II 4 TRN is the station call, from the city
 of TURIN and celebrates Marconis air  ground radio communication
 experiments of 1915.

 Further details, special callsigns and award rules can be found on
 the ARI Fidenza Radio Club website.

 REGION THREE

 THAILAND 

 ICOM Inc. presents letter of appreciation to the Department of
 Special Investigation in Thailand.

 Now astute readers/listeners will recall this story on counterfeit
 ICOMS some 2 years or so ago but it's still a work in progress

 It was January 2021, and the Department of Special Investigation had
 carried out the clampdown to counterfeit suppliers for Icom products
 and other radio manufacturers, seizing 37,694 pieces of counterfeit
 products valued at over 50 million Thai Baht (about AUD 2.2 million).
 At this time, the judgement on the lawsuit against these counterfeit
 suppliers was made and ICOM Inc. expressed deep appreciation for
 efforts of the Department of Special Investigation and presented the
 letter of appreciation on 2 months ago, Nov 2022.

 ICOM will continue to work on countermeasures against counterfeit
 products and suppliers and try to supply high-quality and safe
 products.

 WIRELESS WEATHER

 X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE:

 Earth-orbiting satellites detected an X1.9-class solar flare last
 Monday, it's source?  hyperactive sunspot AR3184, now emerging over
 the sun's south-eastern limb.

 NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the flare's extreme
 ultraviolet flash:

 Radiation ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a shortwave
 radio blackout cantered on the Pacific side of South America:
 Mariners, aviators and ham radio operators have noticed fadeouts and
 other unusual propagation effects at frequencies below 25 MHz.

 This was an impulsive solar flare -- intense but probably too brief
 to lift a coronal mass ejection  out of the sun's atmosphere. It is
 too soon, however, to rule out the possibility of debris heading our
 way.

 Now we do have to start this segment with a call to VK1 Amateurs.

 In news from Amateur Radio NewsLine we see a story relating to our
 very own call area VK1 yet no one from the SOTA community or
 local ham thought it news worthy enough to pass onto you via WIA
 National News, so -- with thanks to ARNewsLine here are the details
 they have received.

  "In the World of DX, be listening for VI10SOTA (VEE EYE TEN SOTA)
   which is on the air in Australia to celebrate the 10th year of
   Summits on the Air in the VK1 region. The station will be active
   through to the end of the year and any amateur with an Australian
   licence who is activating a VK1 SOTA peak may use it."

 China's 1st Mars rover and Tianwen 1 orbiter may have gone silent: 

 Something may have gone very wrong for China's first-ever Mars 
 mission.

 China launched Tianwen 1 in July 2020 and the mission's rover, named
 Zhurong, touched down on the Red Planet in May 2021. The duo explored
 Mars smoothly until May 2022, when Zhurong was put into hibernation,
 hunkering down for the harsh winter.

 But the rover may not have exited hibernation as expected, according
 to reports from Space News, which cite reporting from the South China
 Morning Post in Hong Kong, that Zhurong was expected to wake up in
 December and hasn't called home yet. And simultaneously, the
 Tianwen 1 Mars orbiter appears to be experiencing a communications
 glitch.

 It's unknown what the issues might be, but "most likely the
 sandstorms have seriously weakened Zhurong's capacity to use its
 solar panels to generate power" 

 Tianwen 1 orbiter serves as a communications relay for the rover.
 "A Beijing-based source said ground control had encountered
 difficulty when downloading the latest data from the orbiting probe,
 Amateur radio operators have even observed that Tianwen 1 ground
 stations appear to have stopped attempting to make contact with the
 orbiter.

 China's space agency has yet to comment on the issues with Zhurong
 and Tianwen 1.

 The Service Academies Radio Group (SARG) was recently formed for
 alumni and amateur radio operators who are interested in the five
 U.S.A. military academies.

 William Curry, W5CQ, founder and net control operator for the SARG
 Net, said two months ago there was a new interest in forming a group
 and net. He noticed that only one military academy, West Point,
 W 2 KGY, was still operating a club station. At one time, every
 military academy in the United States  had an operating club station.
 
 The SARG net meets every Thursday at 2200 UTC on 7.280 MHz, and
 every Saturday at 1600 UTC on 14.338 MHz. All amateur radio operators
 whether they are veterans, or just have an interest in the military
 or history of the academies, are invited.

 I will wrap up this weeks edition of special interest group news
 with a thought - yes not everyone involved in ham radio has one
 particular interest , so strong, they have joined a club or forum
 delving into its cause.

 Some of us just like a good old fashioned rag chew.

 This story, which involves a VK5, like the first story of SOTA
 I brought you today only came to light because it was passed to
 ARNewsLine.. so we'll cross to ARNEWSLINE who in turn swing over to
 John VK4JJW with the story to "tie (thai/.. ) the ribbons.

 Here is  Paul Brown WD 9 GCO

 SAYING 73 TO THE OLD YEAR AROUND THE WORLD

 PAUL/ANCHOR: Our final story has a little bit of magic in it. Some
 of it is amateur radio magic and the rest is simply New Year's magic
 -- because we can't put a final ribbon on the holiday season without
 this story of a QSO that happened in two countries across the change
 of the year. John Williams VK4JJW explains.

 JOHN: With poor conditions on the bands, the 10-minute QSO between
 one ham in Australia and another in Thailand might have felt more
 like it lasted for a year. Well....in a way, it actually did.

 Supoj E25JRP was on 20 metres at 2130 local time in Bangkok in the
 final hours of the old year, but very few CW operators responded to
 his call in that first half-hour. At 2200 local time, someone more
 distant came back to him - like the others, his call began with a
 V - perhaps it was VR, from Hong Kong, or VU, from India. Battling
 serious QSB, Supoj asked for a repeat - and then another.

 He told NewsLine: [quote] "After a couple of question marks and
 'again,' I got all of his callsign." [endquote] It was VK5PL, Dave,
 a colleague from the Long Island CW Club in the United States. Dave
 was at home in Australia and recognised Supoj's callsign when he
 heard it on the air. Two thousand twenty-three was already well
 underway at his QTH. The year-change had started two hours earlier.

 Riding the fickle QSB, the two had just enough time to exchange new
 year's wishes - and for Dave to log his first QSO of the new year and
 Supoj to log one of his final ones of the old year.

 Dave wrote on the club's forum on groups.io: [quote] "I had a great
 start to the year." [endquote]

 Supoj told NewsLine: [quote] "I turned off my rig with a big smile." 
 [endquote]

 Now, of course, with everyone properly settled into 2023, the only
 thing that needs to get in sync are those band conditions.

 This is John Williams VK4JJW.
