 International Morse Code Day is coming up this week - 
 Thursday April 27th, the anniversary of Samuel Morses Birthday.

 Now theres some argument about whether or not Samuel Morse was the
 actual inverter? (inventor - Ed) of the Code but never-the-less,
 International Morse Code Day is still celebrated on his Birthday.

 Whether you love it or hate Morse Code, it has been the basis of
 radio communications since the late 19th Century, and today, theres
 been a real resurgence in amateur radio interest in the fine art.
 
 So to celebrate International Morse Code Day, the CQ QRS Slow CW
 Practice QSO Team is inviting you to a Morse Code Trivia Quiz on
 Thursday evening, ( 27th April ) using Zoom videoconferencing. 
 Last year we had participants from WA, SA, NSW, Tassie and Florida
 and were hoping that youll join in the fun this year.  Mister Morse
 Code Richard VK6PZT will run the Quiz for us.
  
 Although some knowledge about Morse Code will help, dont worry, like
 most trivia quizzes, well have multi-guess questions and youll have
 just as much opportunity to have a laugh as the rest of us.
 
 Also with Zoom, as long as you have access to a phone, tablet or
 computer connected to the Internet, youll be able to join in.

 Log-in details and the quiz time will be published on both the
 Bunbury Radio Club and Peel Amateur Radio Group websites.

 But wait - theres more!

 The CQ QRS Slow CW Practice QSO Team will also be running a really
 simple slow CW contest on 80m on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.  No
 complex logs required - and you wont even need to be proficient at
 CW - the participants will match your speed - and lots of repeats
 will be order of the evening!  And the organisers will be adding
 a twist, to the usual contest exchange.

 Information on the International Morse Code Day Slow CW Corroboree
 will also be published this week on the Bunbury Radio Club and
 Peel Amateur Radio Group websites.

 So put them in your diary:

 International Morse Code Day Trivia Quiz, this Thursday evening,
 April 27th.

 International Morse Code Slow CW Corroboree Friday, Saturday or
 Sunday April 28th, 29th or 30th.

 So those websites for information:

 World Amateur Radio Day.

 This week saw the activations of many special event stations across
 the world with many stations signing off with WARD as their suffix.

 In celebration of World Amateur Radio Day, I had the pleasure of
 working many of these stations whilst I was activating YU/VK3FY
 from Vitanovac, in Central Serbia.

 The local TV Station in Kralegevo, made a surprise visit to the
 station of YT1AD/YT5A contest station. To interview Hrane on what
 Amateur Radio is. It was a good PR Event for the hobby.

 To my surprise they interviewed me for the segment as I was a foreign
 visiting Amateur Radio Operator.

 73s from Chris VK3FY on behalf of the WIA Board for WIA's Weekly
 National News Broadcast originating from VK1WIA.





 DISCUSSION POINT  

 Geoff Emory, VK4ZPP who week upon week, never a fail, sends thoughts
 to the local VK4 area news, QNEWS, is sort of a proselytiser for the
 club and social side of the amateur radio community.

 Over to you Geoff..

 "I mean, like many of us I want to see this community continue to
 expand and grow with the involvement of as many people as we can
 find to enjoy this recreation. Fishing might be the most popular
 past time in the country but amongst the pursuits that are
 technical, well I would like to see others get the enjoyment and
 involvement that we obviously have.

 To this end I periodically offer prompts as to what we can consider
 to grow our club membership and get the story of amateur radio
 percolating in the community. Pointers to activities and groups and
 segments of the local community have been relatively plentiful and I
 dare say will continue to be as the recruitment and retention of
 members ensures the continuity of a great story.

 Some years ago, the Wireless Institute of Australia produced a
 publicity kit that could be used to draft press releases and this
 was accompanied by poster artwork which could be reproduced to
 promote events. We no longer hear reference to these items and like
 the National Field Day that they supported along with World Amateur
 Radio Day, 18th April, they seem to have been archived as pieces of
 history no longer relevant. 

 Well to a point that might be true because the mass media has moved
 on with many of the local papers caught under a monopoly ownership
 with publication now only online and only available to paying
 subscribers. Broadcasters are being caught in the jaws of needing
 money and having the various internet and social media platforms
 engorging on the advertising revenue that once supported everything
 from the buy and sell pages of the newspapers to production of local
 content and the buying of rights to popular programming. 

 The art of the journalist is still surviving and newspapers, radio
 and television may be holding on to their place against the
 onslaught of the internet and when it comes to getting publicity out
 to the broad community, we depend on those professionals to present
 it. This brings us back to the publicity kit. Now putting things
 together and distributing it may need to be a bit more sophisticated
 than previously. We have our smart phones with nice cameras to
 capture still and video images. 

 Local TV stations in my area ask for video and papers will gladly
 accept stills of good quality that are suitable for print. We are
 fortunate that the tools to show our function, our community service
 are in our hands these days. Videos only need to be short so we
 arent looking for a Spielberg production just a glimpse to whet the
 interest of the viewer. 

 Now to my mind this all suggests that some of the hams who have the
 experience in the media could get their heads in front of their
 devices video cameras and revamp the old material to make it work
 for us today. I know the skills are in our audience and we just need
 to be given the direction to get it done and out to our clubs.


 Im Geoff Emery VK4ZPP and thats what I think....how about you?"

 If you are wondering what an SSES is, in the UK they have 2 types of
 Special Event Stations. 
 Specials   (SSES) short duration.
 Permanents (PSES) longer duration.





 REGION TWO

U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Lesko recently visited a HamFest and met with Amateur Radio operators at DeVry University campus in Phoenix, Arizona.

Congresswoman Leskos visit was a highlight of the event, as she is a major supporter of Amateur Radio. Lesko arrived early and spoke with many Amateur Radio attendees and ARRL leadership representatives. She toured the emergency communications vehicles and explored with great interest the interrelationship of Amateur Radios emergency responders with federal, state, and local agencies.

Congresswoman Lesko spent a considerable amount of time listening to how radio amateurs integrate communications support with first responders and how Amateur Radio supports civic activities and community events. ARRL leadership shared how Hams support government programs and how favourable legislation strengthens the effectiveness of the Amateur Radio Services mission of supporting the public.

Lesko said: It was wonderful to join ARRL and ARRL-Arizona and meet with amateur radio operators at HamFest in Phoenix, Arizona. Amateur radio operators play such a critical role in emergency situations, and our communities are safer thanks to their information sharing. I will continue to be an advocate for amateur radio operators in Congress and highlight the important contributions they have made to our nation.




The National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting, in conjunction with the West Chester Amateur Radio Association, announced expanded hours during the 2023 Dayton Hamvention.

The West Chester Amateur Radio Association, WC8VOA, will be on the air. The museum is a short drive from Hamvention, down Interstate 75 or Route 42 from Xenia.

 WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- ASTRONOMY

 Radio waves have led astronomers to an exoplanet - a planet
 beyond our solar system - and it's likely the same size as Earth.
 Dave Parks WB8ODF gives us the details as he gave to ARNewsLine.

 Repeating radio signals have led astronomers to a rocky exoplanet
 that is the same size as our own Earth and, like the Earth, it
 orbits a star -- one known as YZ Ceti. Further studies of the signal
 suggest that the planet may also have an atmosphere and a magnetic
 field. 

 Writing in a recent issue of the journal, Nature Astronomy, the
 researchers have named the planet YZ Ceti b. The scientists say that
 the magnetic field's interactions with the star are the likely
 cause of the radio signals.

 The signals were picked up in New Mexico by the Karl G. Jansky Very
 Large Array of telescopes. The star and exoplanet are 12 light-years
 away from Earth.

 Of course, this is not the first finding of its kind. Last year, the
 James Webb Space Telescope discovered its first exoplanet which is
 also believed to be rocky and almost as big as the Earth. That
 planet, called LHS 475b, is 41 light years away. The research team,
 which announced the discovery this past January, is trying to learn
 more about the star it orbits and whether the planet has an
 atmosphere.

 This is Dave Parks WB8ODF.





 WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS - DIGITAL

 March 17, 2023, and FT4DMC is launched.

 The aims of the club are promoting radio operations in FT4, creating
 incentives to use this mode of operation with a moderate number of
 available diplomas, and increasing activity on the amateur radio
 bands.

 Membership in the FT4DMC is free and open to all interested parties.

 FT4 is becoming more popular, and many DXpeditions use this type of
 transmission. FT4 was developed by Dr. Joe Taylor, K1JT.

 The original idea was to use only FT4 for contests. With about 2.5
 times the speed of FT8, FT4 is efficient, and the level of interest
 is terrific. In just around 6 weeks, the FT4DMC already has more
 than 1,300 members and the first diplomas have been awarded.

 As with the FT8DMC, the application for issuing the diplomas takes
 place via the program developed by Heinz Urban, DK5UR. The FT8DMC
 now has 21,600 members from 148 DXCC entities. More than 1.5 million
 diplomas have been issued.

 WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS - FINAL FRONTIER
 AMSAT-VK Secretary - secretary(at)amsat-vk.org
 
 NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei KG5GNP won't be a record-holder for
 much longer. He made news after logging the most days in space for a
 US astronaut -- 355 days -- aboard the International Space Station
 in 2022.
 
 Now, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio is right behind him and gaining.

 He's been on the ISS since September 21, 2022 and his mission has
 grown beyond its original six months. He's now scheduled to leave
 aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft by September 27th, meaning his
 371 days will eclipse the one set by Vande Hei. However, even with
 that accomplishment, he will still be leaving the world record
 intact. That was set by the late Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov,
 who logged an unprecedented 437 days aboard Russia's Mir space
 station in 1994 and 1995. The cosmonaut died last year at age 80.

 WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- SOFTWARE DEVELOPEMENT

The Amateur Radio Software Award (ARSA) Committee has announced that GridTracker, a project led by Stephen Loomis, N0TTL, and the GridTracker.org team, has been selected as the recipient of the 4th annual Amateur Radio Software Award.

The award recognizes software projects that enhance amateur radio and promote innovation, freedom, and openness in amateur radio software development.

The committee was impressed by the breadth of features in GridTracker, its innovative graphic interface, and its ability to make amateur radio more fun.

GridTracker is a tool that visualizes WSJT-X amateur radio traffic, like FT8 and contacts from log files, which makes it easier for radio amateurs to track their contacts and participate in contests. Its unique approach to visualizing radio traffic adds a new dimension of enjoyment to the radio art.
