 Welcome to all that have tuned into the WIA Broadcast this week.
 This is WIA President and Director, Scott Williams  VK3KJ.

 This week, the WIA wrote to all Affiliated Clubs, and we were
 delighted to announce that the WIA has formally entered into a
 new insurance arrangement with our preferred insurance partner,
 GippsInsure, to provide insurance products and services to Clubs.
 GippsInsure is a Victorian based insurance Broker and is part of
 the large Steadfast insurance network throughout Australia.

 Over the past 3 months, the WIA has reviewed the insurance needs of
 clubs and the way the arrangement has been previously administered
 through the WIA.  What became clear is WIA Affiliated Clubs had a
 broad range of insurance needs that extended from Public & Product
 Liability insurance, Association Liability insurance incorporating
 Professional Indemnity, Management Liability insurance, Volunteer
 Workers insurance, General Property insurance also covering
 equipment taken away from club rooms and a range of other insurance
 requirements.

 Overall, the new arrangement that has been put in place is price
 attractive and enables clubs to consolidate their insurance needs,
 making the administration of insurance far simpler.

 Affiliated Clubs will now to be able to liaise directly with
 GippsInsure and under our group buying arrangement, supported
 by our 136 Affiliated Clubs, have access to a comprehensive range
 of insurance products and services.

 All WIA Affiliated Clubs who have previously pursued insurance
 through the old arrangement, will find generally their policy
 expires at the end of this month, so clubs will need to act promptly
 if you wish to ensure continuity of insurance.

 All Clubs are encouraged to carefully consider your insurance
 requirements and ensure adequate insurance is in place commensurate
 with your activities. 
 
 The contact details for GippsInsure, is published on the WIA website
 at wia.org.au under a recent posted news article.
      
 I will now pass you back to Graham to continue with this weeks
 broadcast. 

 Stay safe and well.

 Best Regards

 Scott VK3KJ

 INTERNATIONAL NEWS With thanks to IARU, RSGB, RAC,
 ARRL,  NZART, eHam, AMATEUR RADIO NEWSLINE, eHam, 
 Radioworld.com and the World Wide sources of the WIA.  


 REGION ONE
 
 Hams in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Northern Asia are being
 asked to take the challenge of seeing into the future.

 Region 1 of the International Amateur Radio Union is inviting teams
 and individuals to engage in two types of brainstorming as part of
 the region's HamChallenge competition. Both challenges are designed
 to inspire projects that increase awareness of amateur radio's
 vitality and relevance today.

 The first challenge asks hams to create projects that reach out to
 people who do not have a radio licence. The project could be a
 social media campaign, a video, a storyboard or some other creative
 venture that showcases the power ham radio has in building
 friendships and expanding scientific knowledge.

 The second challenge focuses on a project that reaches out to other
 hams showing the way amateur radio might look in 10 years.
 Entries in this part of the challenge can be a technology project,
 an experiment or something else.

 All ideas should be sent to the IARU Region 1 by July.




 Hackers Disrupt Russian Radio

 Writing in the ICQPODACST, Colin Butler says radio stations in
 several Russian cities were disrupted on 22nd February by the
 sound of air raid sirens and a warning of imminent missile strikes.

 Recordings of the broadcast were shared on the social media network
 'Telegram' and reported on by Meduza. Meduza, an independent news
 agency now based in Latvia, was forced to move its operations out of
 Russia during the media crackdown that followed Russias February
 22 invasion of Ukraine.

 EMERCOM, the Russian Ministry for Civil Defence, Emergency
 Situations and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters,
 confirmed the broadcasts in a statement on its Telegram channel,
 blaming an unspecified hacker attack on servers of a number of
 commercial radio stations in some regions of the country.

 According to a post by AvtoRadio, the hack was focused on the
 satellite signals used to distribute programming.




 IMD at the Museum of Vintage Radio in Howth

 It is twenty years since the late Pat Herbert founded Ye Olde Hurdy
 Gurdy Museum of Vintage Radio in Howth. EI 0 MAR was established
 there that same year.

 In conjunction with IMD, International Marconi Day, which takes
 place on the 22nd of April, Pat's son Simon plans a day of
 celebration at the museum. The Mayor of Howth will be also be in
 attendance. EI0MAR has always taken part in IMD.

 Martello tower, in which the museum is located, is where Lee
 De Forest, the inventor of the triode valve, demonstrated his
 wireless telegraphy system to engineers of the British Post Office
 in 1903. Two years later The Marconi Company set up an experimental
 wireless receiving station in the tower to monitor transmissions
 from a vessel sailing to different locations in the Irish Sea.





 REGION TWO

 Automakers have replied to U.S. Sen. Ed Markeys letter urging them
 to maintain broadcast AM radio as a feature in electric vehicles and
 other future vehicles. But the auto industrys response by no means
 offers any guarantees that the senior band will remain in the
 dashboard going forward.

 Senator Markey wrote in December to all the big automakers: Ford,
 General Motors, BMW and Kia among them. He asked for a thorough
 accounting of where AM radio receivers stand in the view of
 automakers and to inform him of any plans to discontinue access to
 AM in new cars.

 The auto industry response comes from the Alliance for Automotive
 Innovation and appears to be a resounding NON-endorsement of
 AM radio. In fact, the letter makes no mention of the industrys
 intentions of keeping AM radio intact in the dashboard.




 March 13th, 2023, astronomers around the world marked the 10th
 anniversary of the inauguration of the Atacama Large Millimeter /
 submillimeter Array (ALMA), the worlds largest radio telescope.

 Over the past decade, ALMA has revolutionized our understanding
 of the Universe and unveiled its secrets, from the formation of
 planets, stars, and galaxies to deciphering the chemistry of the
 cosmos, and even taking part in capturing the first images of
 black holes. 

 ALMA consists of 66 antennas, spread over up to 16 kilometres
 on a plateau of the Chilean Andes at 5,000 meters above sea level.
 The technology that makes the telescope special is borne of an
 international collaboration of 21 countries from across
 North America, Europe, and East Asia.

 public.nrao.edu/news/alma-10-year-anniversary-inauguration/





 REGION THREE

 A very quiet month for intruders observed in our region 3 last
 December, just 61 observations. Still, that is a couple per day.

 Reports for December 2022 were contributed by ARSI, NZART and JARL
 with 45 observations from ARSI, 12 Observations from NZART and 4
 from Japan, the JARL.

 The most prominent intruder in the 40 meter band was a broadcast 
 radio station from Ethiopia and in our 15 meter band the over the
 horizon radar setups in China and Cyprus.

 A link in our text edition of WIA National News will take you
 directly to the IARU Monitory Service reports this week.

 HAM RADIO OPERATIONAL NEWS - IT'S A CONTACT SPORT

 NOW CONTEST WISE:-
 --------------
       2023
 --------------
 --------------

While you are at plugging along with the John Moyle Field Day contest
this weekend many stations to our west are active in the Africa All
Mode International DX Contest.

Their Activity is on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 metres with CW, RTTY
and  SSB all wrapped up in the one 'test'.

BUT

joining me again this week is Denis VK4AE contest Manager for the John Moyle Field Day 2023.

"Yes As this news goes to air the contest is nearing completion, and as many stations will still be active I wish them well in the remainder of the contest, 

Logs have been arriving steadily.  There does not seem to be not as many as the number received at this point after the contest last year.  

It is highly recommended that once you have submitted your log you should check a bit later that your callsign has been added to the list of logs received.  If your call is not on the list, then it might not have been received.

A couple of logs have been submitted as a PDF which is just a picture and contains no more useful information to the contest than a picture of a flower as the data is not accessible electronically and hence usable to me.  

In the same way a couple of logs were submitted using a Cabrillo format that does not contain all of the information required by the JMMFD VHF/UHF rules and requires much extra work for the Contest Manager to attempt to fix those logs.

It is timely to remind you all that while there is not a lot of time left to submit the log and it will pass quickly and the final date is the 7th April 2023.  This is required by the very long lead times now for the AR Magazine.  

Following this date all of the logs will be processed and the results prepared and made available soon after.  The results will be shown on the WIA contest page as soon as they are ready.

So, check that your call is on the list, resend the log if it isnt.  It might also be a good idea to submit your log now as you never know what can happen to delay you in the next few days".

 JUST AHEAD OF SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP NEWS - WIRELESS WEATHER

 The current solar cycle 25 far exceeds the predictions of the
 international panel convened for this purpose in 2019.

 The solar cycle is important in determining the lifetime of
 satellites in low-Earth orbit because satellite drag correlates
 with the solar cycle. In addition, the forecast gives a rough idea
 of the frequency of space weather storms of all kinds, from radio
 blackouts to geomagnetic storms to radiation storms, and is
 used by many to estimate the expected impact of space weather in
 the coming years. Including we radio amateurs.

 WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS ---  ASTRONOMY

 Visible light is just one part of the electromagnetic spectrum that
 astronomers use to study the universe.

 Bruce VK3FFF joins us
 

 The James Webb Space Telescope was built to see infrared light,
 other space telescopes capture X-ray images, and observatories like
 the Green Bank Telescope, the Very Large Array, the Atacama Large
 Millimetre Array and dozens of other observatories around the world
 work at radio wavelengths.

 On Oct. 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik into orbit.
 As the small satellite circled the globe, amateur radio enthusiasts
 all over the world were able to pick up the radio signals it was
 beaming back to Earth. Since that historic flight, wireless signals
 have become part of almost every aspect of modern life --
 from aircraft navigation to Wi-Fi -- and the number of satellites
 has grown exponentially. The more radio transmissions there are, the
 more challenging it becomes to deal with interference in radio quiet
 zones. Existing laws do not protect these zones from satellite
 transmitters, which can have devastating effects. In one example,
 transmissions, said to be from an Iridium satellite, completely
 obscured the observations of a faint star made in a protected band
 allocated to radio astronomy.

 tinyurl.com/vkdaz8w9

 A solar eclipse visible in much of Australia will occur on 20 April.





 WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS - DIGITAL

 Last week, our Editor Graham told us of the substantial grant to
 the FreeDV team by ARDC. FreeDV you'll recall is that project
 where VK5DGR is a leading light in its development.

 To advance the state of the art in HF digital voice and to promote
 its use, Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) award is over
 some $630,000 Australian Dollars!

 With these dollars, the FreeDV Project team will, among other
 things :

 HIRE experienced digital signal processing developers to work with
 the volunteer staff to improve speech quality and improve low
 signal-to-noise ratio operation, making FreeDV performance superior
 to single-sideband over poor high-frequency channels.

 AND

 Work with commercial HF radio companies to embed FreeDV into at
 least two commercial radios, greatly reducing set up effort and
 reducing latency.

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

 The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre has revealed how the UAEs
 second astronaut, Sultan Al Neyadi, KI 5 VTV, will bring the wonder
 of outer space to classrooms and communities in that country during
 his six-month long, historic longest space expedition by an Arab.

 Over the course of 20 weeks, students will follow KI 5 VTV
 Al Neyadi on his ground-breaking space journey aboard the ISS.
 They will also hear from authors, space experts, and fellow
 astronauts Hazzaa Al Mansoori and Nora Al Matrooshi as they discuss
 the various challenges of working in space and the innovations that
 help overcome them.

 Alec, vk2apc has more.

 " Yes a new website, along with some 13 live calls and
 10 ham radio calls have been announced as part of the community
 outreach programme of Al Neyadis space expedition.

 The website, titled ELF in Space, will be the platform through
 which he will interact with students.

 M.B.R.S.C. said episodes will be released weekly, with each episode
 focusing on a different topic to help students connect the dots
 between what they learn in class and its impact on their lives and
 the world around them. Extra activities and resources will also be
 available for download each week to keep students engaged and
 propel their own explorations of the subject. "

 (gulfnews.com)

 Now we have had many a volunteer here on VK1WIA News but even today
 Alex has not let us down with this story.. and today of all days
 he  may have had an excuse. You see today is Alec's 13th Birthday.

 Congrats you OT to be.




 The International Space Station has had another 'regular' cargo
 delivery, essential for keeping the Stations seven-person crew
 supplied with experiments, consumables, and equipment during its
 operation in low Earth orbit. This mission, CRS-27, lifted off
 from the Kennedy Space Centre.

 A notable payload on this flight is a ball clamp monopod
 manufactured by students that can simplify filming in space.

 However, this is not the only payload on CRS-27 that students
 have been involved in with experiments from Canadian and German
 universities on-board.

 NASAs ELaNa (Educational Launch of Nanosatellites) 50 mission flew
 a pair of CubeSats aboard this CRS-27.

 ARKSAT-1, developed by the University of Arkansas, is a CubeSat that
 is equipped with an LED light. This light will be activated, and a
 spectrometer on the ground will conduct orbit-to-ground atmospheric
 measurements by tracking the light.

 ARKSAT-1 will also attempt to deorbit itself at the end of its
 mission with a Solid State Inflation Balloon. Inflating the SSIB
 should increase the atmospheric drag on the satellite, causing it to
 deorbit sooner than it otherwise would. If this technology works, it
 can be used to deorbit CubeSats at the end of their useful lives,
 preventing additional space junk from cluttering low Earth orbit.

 Another 1U CubeSat that is part of ELaNa 50 is LightCube, a
 cooperative effort between Arizona State University, CETYS
 Universidad in Mexico, and Vega Space Systems. Like ARKSAT-1,
 LightCube will have a powerful light as its main payload. In this
 case, LightCube is equipped with a flashbulb that can be controlled
 by amateur radio operators.
