 Hello, this is your WIA Director, Steven Green VK2TSG, with this
 Weeks Board Comment.

 [for the listeners] I apologise for my Voice right now, as it
 appears to be my turn for the dreaded virus.

 Today, I'd like to bring to your attention, the WIA awards programme.
 There is an annual call for nominations ahead of the AGM, with the
 decision of the Board made on the basis of contribution or
 achievement; with not all awards made yearly.

 Your nominations for awards help promote not just the awardees
 achievements, but also Amateur Radio as a whole within Australia
 and its territories.

 At this time we have received only a few nominations, and to be
 truthful, we would like to see a good deal more.

 Do you know someone who has made a significant contribution to
 Amateur Radio, the WIA, or affiliated groups?  Why not nominate
 them today?

 Please take a look at the WIA website for more information and the
 nomination form, under the "For Members" menu.

 wia.org.au/members/wiaawards/about/

 This year we would like to close nominations on the 31st of March,
 and while that is not exactly tomorrow, it's better to get in early
 or before items more pressing  overtake us.


 In other matters, for WIA Affiliated clubs, it is very important to
 ensure you have a base level of WIA members as part of your club to
 maintain affiliation with the Wireless Institute and therefore
 access to insurance and other benefits. We encourage clubs and their
 members to consider this with the beginning of club activities for
 2023.

 That's all from myself for now; , so 73's...  Steven VK2TSG

 Graham Alston VK3GA - WIA DX Awards Manager

 The WIA DX Awards Committee would like to congratulate Bunbury Radio

 a remarkable 7336. The North East Radio Group were second on 3859,
 with Amateur Radio NSW third on 1360.

 In total, 12 radio clubs participated in 2022.

 The winning members of Bunbury Radio Club were VK6APK, VK6DW, VK6IR,
 VK6OZ and VK6RZ.

 Thank you to our sponsor, DX Radio Systems, for providing the medals
 for these members.

 The competition is open for 2023, again sponsored by DX Radio Systems

 I'M JOHN KNOX VK4FJRK AND THIS IS REWIND 

 At the age of 12 he built his first amateur radio transmitter with
 pieces of broken toys and at 15 his first TV camera.

 A whole life has passed since a Mexican became the best known
 scientist of the time, some 60 years ago.

 It was Mexican inventor Guillermo Gonzlez Camarena who came up with
 the concept of Colour TV. His knowledge transcended so much that
 Mexicos'  Channel 5 carries the call XHGC, in honour of Gonzlez
 Camarena, his initials engraved forever.
 
 In the early 1940's Camarena developed his first colour television
 system, known as the Colour Television System Number 1, which was
 patented in 1942. This system used three colour lenses to separate
 the television signal into red, green and blue, which allowed the
 transmission of colour images.

 Despite its innovation, Camarenas system was not adopted commercially
 due to competition from other colour television systems under
 development at the time, including the NTSC standard, which was
 adopted as the official colour television standard in both the
 United States and Mexico.

 Still, Camarenas work was recognized by the industry and he was
 honoured with several awards and recognitions, including Mexicos
 Medal of Technological Merit and Mexicos Order of the Aztec Eagle.
 His legacy continues to be remembered as one of the pioneers in the
 history of television in Mexico.

 REGION ONE

 CEPT Short Range Device project team SE24 meeting #108 took place
 911 January.

 The IARU participated in the work of the group on several work items
 associated with Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) and Ultra-Wide Band
 (UWB) automotive radars. 

 The impact and standardisation of WPT technologies is being
 carefully assessed across the lowest HF bands and the impact of the
 UWB technologies is relevant in the amateur service allocations in
 the mm-wave bands at 76 GHz, 122 GHz and 134 GHz. 

 IARU R1 continues to fully engage in the ongoing studies associated
 with WPT to ensure minimal impact to our lowest HF bands.

 iaru-r1.org/2023/lowest-and-highest-bands-under-the-spotlight-in-cept-se24/




 The SARL 100 project is progressing very well.

 From the smallest newspaper clipping to the handwritten notes of
 amateurs from the early 1900s. It is amazing what has been preserved
 donated, or made available to the project so far.

 Since so much information had already been gathered, the author
 started compiling and editing the first chapters of the book from
 the beginning of Wireless Telegraphy in South Africa to the beginning
 of the Second World War, a period of over 40 years, where among
 other achievements the foundation for broadcasting in South Africa
 was also laid by the amateur radio pioneers.

 In the next weeks, Anette, ZR 6 D will travel to Cape Town and back
 via the Garden Route and Port Elizabeth to visit some senior amateur
 operators to record their stories and collect memorabilia they want
 to donate to the project. Where the items are valuable and or cannot
 be donated, they will be photographed to have a record of the items

 No matter where you are in the world if you have ZS memorabilia
 Anette can be contacted on archives(at)sarl.org.za




 REGION TWO

 USA

 North Carolina Station Loses Two Towers to Vandalism

 "These recent incidents coincide with a dramatic increase in metal
 thefts," said the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters

 Police are investigating after vandals brought down two local radio
 towers belonging to WSJS (AM), according to station officials.

 According to WFMY News, a TV station based in Greensboro, the North
 Carolina Association of Broadcasters issued a message to member
 stations about the vandalism, writing in part, NCAB has recently
 heard reports from several association members of perpetrators
 intentionally damaging communications towers and stealing copper
 from broadcast facilities/tower sites. As has been reported to us,
 at least three radio sites in the Triad area have been vandalized;
 in one instance, a towers guy wires were cut, leading to a tower
 collapsing. These recent incidents coincide with a dramatic increase
 in metal thefts, with copper, bronze, brass and aluminium all being
 targeted, according to law enforcement.

 The FBI is also involved in this case since its a federal crime.

 CURACAO

 The Dave Kalter Memorial Youth DX Adventure group is returning to 
 Curacao this year and is inviting young amateurs to be part of the 
 operation between July 13th and 18th with the goal of forming a
 DX team of amateurs between the ages of 12 and 17.

 This year, the timing of the trip has an added bonus: Because this
 year's DX adventure overlaps somewhat with the Youth on the Air Camp
 taking place in Canada in July, the young hams in Curacao can
 expect to have some scheduled contacts with the YOTA campers as well.




 REGION THREE

 NEW ZEALAND

 NZART the ZL equivalent of our WIA will hold their 2023 Conference
 and AGM in Palmerston North over the King's Birthday Weekend, being
 3 and 4 June in ZL. Location is the Millennium Copthorne Hotel,
 Palmerston North. 




 INDIA

 A massive religious pilgrimage in India has just concluded and as
 always the safety of the thousands attending was assured with the
 help of amateur radio.

 This Pilgrimage  is the largest religious gathering in India, the
 Gangasagar Mela, and the West Bengal Radio Club was there as always
 to assist with public safety, communications and coordination for
 individuals who fell ill and needed airlifting from the island to
 area hospitals.

 More than a dozen people were reported missing at the massive
 gathering and the hams assisted in reuniting them with their
 families on the island.

 Officials told the Hindu newspaper that they had the support of
 about 42 amateur radio operators.

 WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS - FINAL FRONTIER
 AMSAT-VK Secretary - secretary(at)amsat-vk.org

 A group of University of Arizona students are putting the final
 touches on a CubeSat set to be launched into space this year.

 CubeSats are about the size of a small microwave oven. The UA
 "CatSat" will give students hands-on experience developing and
 running a space mission. UA astronomy professor Chris Walker says
 the students took their proposal to NASA four years ago.

 Around 40 students over the years have been working on it and our
 current cadre of students is about ten," Prof. Walker explained.
 "They are very motivated students, excellent students, from all
 different departments of the University, different levels.

 Walker notes graduating students mentor newcomers to the program
 semester-by-semester. They put the finishing touches on the
 satellite last month. 

 The CatSat will ride into space aboard a privately-owned rocket.
 Its launch date has yet to be finalized.

 Wade VK1MIC joins us with news of that special SOTA call VI 10 SOTA
 which will be used from February to years end.

 The callsign will be used by anyone activating a VK1 summit during
 the year.  An online reservation system has been implemented.
  Details via the VK1 SOTA mailing group on groups.io

 While the callsign has been allocated for the entire year, the
 official launch of the callsign is planned for the 1st of February,
 which is the date from which the VK1 SOTA summits were officially
 registered with the SOTA summits database in the UK.

 Its worth noting that SOTA was first kicked off in Australia with
 the registration of VK3 summits in February 2012.  Vk5 followed
 later that year and VK1 joined a year later, then VK2 and VK4 SOTA
 were registered on the 1st September 2013.   VK6, VK7 and VK8 were
 registered in the next few years.  Since then, amateurs around
 Australia have been trudging up hills with radio equipment in their
 backpacks, to make at least 4 contacts from the summits activation
 zone, which is the zone that includes the summit itself and the
 surrounding land that is within 25m of the peak.

 SOTA summits require 150m of prominence over surrounding land, so
 not all peaks are eligible.  However many summits are located
 within parks registered under the WWFF scheme, and anyone listening
 on the HF bands will have heard activations of summits and parks
 under way almost every day of the week.

 A summit in a park gives those working the summit on the air credit
 for both the SOTA and the WWFF awards.

 For more information about SOTA, please look at SOTA.ORG.UK

 Mayday:

 It's the international signal for an emergency made by planes and
 boats which use radio communications, which was recently used on
 Qantas flight QF144 from Auckland to Sydney, which ended up landing
 safely, be it on only one working engine.

 But the history of the mayday call dates back to the 1920s 
 and while SOS had been used to signal an emergency via morse code,
 with the increase in air travel it was less practical to use over
 radio. Frederick Stanley Mockford came up with a new word for
 signalling an emergency: "mayday".

 Fredrick was in charge of radio at Croydon Airport near London but as
 planes flew to Le Bourget Airport in Paris, France, just across the
 channel Mockford proposed the word as it was the phonetic equivalent
 of "m'aidez" which means "help me" or "m'aider" which means
 "come help me" in French.

 It is repeated three times to avoid confusion and was approved in
 February 1923.

 South Africa

 Sunday 15 January, the Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centre
 requested SARL HAMNET Gauteng to deploy a team to assist with
 scene management of a light aircraft accident.

 SARL HAMNET is the ZS version of WIA's WICEN.

 They responded to the accident scene at NASREC in Johannesburg South
 to assist with various duties from managing the scene, keeping
 unauthorized persons from the site to assisting various rescue and
 law enforcement agencies and providing water to all personnel on
 site. The team provided much needed support and collaboration to
 the management of the incident scene alongside other emergency
 agencies.

  The volunteers were thanked for responding and although the
 outcome was  a tragic one, it demonstrated that Amateur Radio
 Operators (SARL HAMNET members in particular) are always ready to
 respond in a time of need.

brandmeister.network/?page=repeaters

 Radio Relay International, an independent amateur radio messaging
 organization, has expanded its Digital Traffic Network infrastructure
 to Puerto Rico. Col VK3GTV has the story.


 According to the organization, the DTN is a hybrid mesh network
 utilizing HF for long-haul traffic and VHF/UHF gateways for
 local emergency communications activities.

 CQ magazine says "Over the past year, according to RRI, the group
 has been providing training to volunteers in Puerto Rico as well as
 technical support and one-on-one assistance."
 
 During Hurricane Maria, it says, one RRI volunteer alone handled
 over 2000 welfare messages out of the stricken area. The system
 also makes use of WinLink and says it is fully interoperable and
 integrated with other emergency communications resources. RRI also
 sponsors the National SOS Radio Network and Neighbourhood Radio
 Watch programs.

 Short Wave Listener wins Young Scientists of the Year in Ireland

 SWL Shane O'Connor from Kildysart, County Clare, along with his
 teammate Liam Carew were announced as the winners of this year's
 BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition at the RDS in Dublin.

 Back in 1963 the USA Science Fair idea was brought to Ireland
 and has gone on to bigger and better things every year since
 reaching an all-time high this year when over 2000 projects were
 submitted. All entries were screened to select just 550 projects to
 go through to compete in the RDS. The event attracts over 40,000
 people making it one of the largest events of its kind in Europe,
 if not the world! 

 Shane and Liam, both aged 18 and in sixth year in the Abbey School
 in Tipperary won with their project Assessing the impact of
 second-level education on key aspects of adolescents' life and
 development. The pair will also represent Ireland at the European
 Union Contest for Young Scientists in Brussels in September, and
 at the 64th Annual London International Youth Science Forum this
 summer.
