 202328

 acma.cmail20.com/t/d-l-zkldujl-trephkuj-t/

 spectrum management and factors used to inform the ACMA's planning
 and spectrum allocation priorities. It includes a detailed annual
 work program, with activities and milestones for the 202324
 financial year.

 The ACMA and the WIA are committed to working together in support of
 Amateur Radio in Australia.

 The draft FYSO is a key part of their engagement with industry and
 the community on their spectrum management priorities. The ACMA
 welcomes feedback by COB, Friday 28 April.

 The Wireless Institute of Australia will provide feedback on the
 FYSO as has been the norm. The feedback is prepared  by the
 WIA Spectrum Strategy Committee and endorsed by the Board of the WIA
 prior to submission to the ACMA

 Hey, Dudes. 

 Its Roger Harrison VK2ZRH, Editor-in-Chief of Amateur Radio
 magazine.

 For those of you in the bush patiently awaiting the arrival of
 Issue 2, it occurred to me that you might be partial to a bit of
 poetry in the style of the bush ballads of yesteryear.  Those
 vernacular verse-aramas often carried a gentle message, not
 necessarily a comment on the times, but observations on human
 nature.

 For those whove already received your Issue 2, turn back to page 4
 and youll see what Im talking about.

 Its titled: SAID HARRY HAM.

 "The bands are rooned," said Harry Ham 
 In accents all forlorn, 
 Outside the club, down by the dam 
 One early Sat'dee morn. 

 The members then attending slumped 
 With chins upon their chests 
 Breathing low, yet barely pumped 
 While deciding what was best. 

 A loudly whine and sorry rave 
 Was what the members feared 
 From Harry Ham and his mate Dave, 
 The pair that no one cheered. 

 Another member soon chimed in, 
 "What is your beef there mate? 
 Tell us! Dont mutter in your chin!" 
 "Them solar signs arent great!" 

 He spoke! The members shocked! 
 At Harry's verbal drought. 
 No wonder now the clubroom rocked, 
 They marvelled at the rout. 

 "I tell you now, that Sun of ours 
 Exhibits feeble thrust, 
 But science says the cycles fit 
 To capture all our trust." 

 The Pres'dent turned to remonstrate 
 With doubters, skeptics all. 
 Asks Dave and Harry to debate, 
 That early Sat'dee morn. 

 And round it went, all in that hall 
 Till they were verb'lly worn; 
 They came upon consensus all, 
 That early Satdee morn. 

 I styled that on the poem titled Said Hanrahan, by one
 John OBrien. Ironically, OBrien was the penname of
 Patrick Joseph Hartigan, a man of the cloth, as they used to say.

 You can come out from under your shack benches now, theres much
 more better stuff to be found in this issue.
 
 The grammar lapse is deliberate. Microsoft Word gave me only an
 88 per cent score.

 Tough.

 Amateur Radio magazine, Volume 91, Issue Number 2 for 2023. Serving
 Australian radio amateur dudes for 90 years on the trot. Available
 in print and online. Always published to a schedule, never random or
 half-heartedly slapped together.

 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.  

 In just days, 2023 World Amateur Radio Day will be celebrated,
 literally, around the world!

 WARD is held on April 18 every year and is celebrated by radio
 amateurs and their national associations which are organized as
 member-societies of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU).
 It was on this day in 1925 that the IARU was formed in Paris.
 American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Co-Founder Hiram Percy Maxim
 was its first president.

 The IARU announced previously that Human Security for All
 (HS4A) will be this year's World Amateur Radio Day theme.
 The day is being celebrated with a 2-week operating event occurring
 April 11 - 25. Special event stations will be operating from around
 the world, making two-way radio contacts to call attention to the
 HS4A campaign. The United Nations Trust Fund for Human Security
 describes 'human security' as "a more powerful, lasting approach to
 the most difficult deficits in peace and development," such as
 poverty, war, and natural disasters.

 ARRL encourages all radio amateurs to take to the airwaves for
 WARD, to enjoy our global friendship with other amateurs, and to
 show our skills and capabilities to the public.

 A number of IARU member societies have already become active, for
 example the German DARC team has activated the special event
 call-sign DA 23 WARD and are on air until the 18th of April.
 Another society marking World Amateur Radio Day is the UBA special
 event station in Belgium, using the call-sign OT 23 WARD, active
 until the end of April. Yet another, from South Africa where the
 SARL has been issued ZS 9 WARD, which will be active until 30 April
 on various bands and modes.

 More information about 2023 World Amateur Radio Day is available at
 iaru.org/on-the-air/world-amateur-radio-day




 REGION ONE

 The Coronation of The King and the Queen Consort.
 
 The RSGB Coronation Events Coordinator, Alan Messenger, G 0 TLK
 says the RSGB has planned many events and have created activity
 suggestions for how UK radio amateurs can mark the Coronation in
 their own way.

 Some of these activities are just for radio amateurs, but in keeping
 with the Coronation theme of community the RSGB have included
 several outreach ideas where radio amateurs can involve their local
 communities.

 These include Celebratory callsigns, prefixes and suffixes

 A Flagship Special Event Station in Greenwich, London.

 Beaconnect  connecting the ancient fire beacon sites around the
 UK by amateur radio. The UK has a network of ancient fire beacons
 whose original purpose was to signal major events between what were
 then more isolated communities. They have been used since at least
 Roman and Anglo-Saxon times.

 They have also historically been used to mark Royal events but they
 are not being lit for the 2023 Coronation so the RSGB would love to
 use amateur radio to link the sites of this ancient signalling
 network to showcase amateur radio, 




 REGION TWO

 Maryland is a Mid-Atlantic US state and its largest city is
 Baltimore.

 Howard County in Maryland is home to scientist Dan Wilt who has been
 presented with the Emergency Management Volunteer of the Year award
 by County officials for his dedication to safety and advancing
 emergency response capabilities in the county.

 Dan Wilt is a member of the Columbia Amateur Radio Association and
 leads the Howard County Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service.
 "Dan has a special and often unrecognized set of technical skills as
 an amateur radio operator and chooses to support his community.
 Many people might not know about the critical role these radios
 could play in an emergency, but they would be invaluable to 
 communication ability to respond to neighbours needs if phones,
 power or other communication systems were unavailable.

 The award annually recognizes an individual who volunteers time
 through the Howard County Community Organizations Active in Disaster
 to assist the county in preparing for, responding to and mitigating
 or recovering from emergency incidents or disasters.

 Well done that man, Dan the Ham.




 Rossville, Georgia, on the border with Tennessee in the USA, doesnt
 look like a tech town, the population is just under 4,000.
 
 BUT

 In the view of entrepreneur Charles Whitener, Rossville is the
 perfect place to stage a revival in US technology and manufacturing,
 albeit with a device that was cutting edge when the Ford Model A
 ruled the roads.

 Whitener owns Western Electric, the last US manufacturer of vacuum
 tubes, those glass and metal bulbs that controlled current in
 electric circuits before the advent of the transistor made them
 largely obsolete. Tubes are still prized for high-end hi-fi
 equipment and by music gear companies such as Fender for their
 distinctive sound. But most of the worlds supply comes from
 manufacturers in Russia and China, which after the transistor era
 began in earnest in the 1960s helped sunset the US vacuum tube
 industry by driving down prices.

 Whitener, a 69-year-old self-described inventor bought and revived
 AT&Ts vacuum tube business in 1995. 

 Now as I leave you this week, some words from Peter Parker
 VK3YE .. well it IS April hihi and this is from Aptril One.

 (its a joke bit about using repeaters
  and is audio intensive ie - no script)

 Amateur Radio Activity Honours African American Heritage

 Parks on the Air or POTA sites that honour African American heritage
 are the focus of an operating event organized by the OMIK Amateur
 Radio Association.

 The OMIK POTA Challenge 2023 will run until December 31.

 OMIK was founded in 1952 by black amateur radio operators. While it 
 is still a predominately African-American organization, today it
 represents a multi-racial, multi-cultural organization with members
 from the US and around the globe and is an ARRL Affiliated Club.

 OMIK members are encouraged to activate sites using the OMIK club
 call sign, K 0 MIK.

 The group has a list of suggested sites that are known to have a
 significant role in African American history. They hope that at
 least five unique national parks will be activated as part of the
 POTA event, contributing to a total of at least 10 successful
 activations.

 ground. They can make radio contacts during their breaks, pre-sleep
 time and before and after mealtime.

 The crew's usual waking period is 07:30 to 19:30 UTC.

 The most common times to find a crew member making casual contacts
 are about one hour after waking and before sleeping.

 86 YEARS OF AGE AND STILL VOLUNTEERING.

 Warren Wilde is the emergency services director for Franklin County
 in the USA  and he is preparing for flooding this year. He ordered
 15,000 sandbags ready for residents to fill and take to protect
 their homes. Residents have filled and taken 10,000 sandbags
 already, so Warren ordered 10,000 more!

 "It's a work in progress," he said. 

 The 86-year-old has been the emergency director since 1979.
 "I can talk to people all over the world with my ham radio and
 I can also use local and state radios," Warren said. "We also have
 an Emergency Operation Centre in the county building where the
 deputy emergency coordinator La Mont Doney can jump in and direct
 the work." Wilde has both amateur and commercial licenses.

 He and the 22 other active ham radio operators in Franklin County
 can all run on battery powered, handheld portables on a
 snowmobile if all other communication goes down.
