 WIA SECRETARY - DIRECTOR PETER CLEE VK8ZZ
 
 In September 2022, the ACMA consulted on proposed amateur class
 licensing arrangements and higher power operation. They proposed
 changes to the draft amateur class licence to provide access to the
 50-52 MHz frequency band for Standard amateur licensees and overseas
 visiting amateurs with equivalent qualifications (overseas
 equivalents).

 The ACMA advised that, pending consultation outcomes, they would make
 these changes to the relevant legislation, before the amateur class
 licence is implemented.

 All submitters who commented on these changes supported the proposal.

 acma.cmail19.com/t/d-l-zujphl-trephkuj-u/





 This is Steven Green VK2TSG, one of your WIA Director's and following
 on from our Secretary, the draft amateur class licence also reflected
 their intention to remove access from Advanced amateur licensees and
 their overseas equivalents in the 3.4 to 3.6 GHz frequency band.

 This is within bands re-allocated by the ACMA for spectrum licensing
 under the document -  Radiocommunications (Spectrum Re-allocation -
 3.4 GHz and 3.7 GHz Bands) Declaration 2022 for Advanced amateur
 licensees and overseas equivalents. This band has also been
 identified for possible long-term earth station protection zones (or
 ESPZs). This is defined in frequency coordination procedures for the
 earth station protection zones (known as RALI MS44).  This also means
 that this Band could not be used within the region where an Earth
 Station is licenced.

 The ACMA are now consulting on making these changes to the Amateur
 Licence LCD and the visiting Overseas Amateur Class Licence.

 The ACMA welcome your views on the proposed changes by 5 pm (AEST), 
 Thursday 1 June.

 In other matters, have you registered for the WIA AGM yet?  This is
 available either online or in person in Canberra next Saturday..

 At the meeting, the Board of the WIA has resolved to recommend to the
 membership, that Peter Young VK3MV be elected as an 'Honorary Life
 Member' in consideration of his many years of exceptional service to
 the Wireless Institute of Australia. Details of the proposed motion
 and a short history of Peter's work is available on the WIA News web
 site, and via the link included in the text edition of this
 broadcast.

 EDUCATION

 Amateur Radio Victoria will be holding another On Line Tutorial for
 the Foundation Licence starting Monday 22nd May.
 Check out amateurradio.com.au

 And on the education front but in the USA comes news of a specialised
 STEM Trailer. Alec who is usually heard in YOTA news steps up now
 with this story 

 
 The All Things Amateur Radio Association (ATARA), W8ATR, in Ohio,
 revealed its new science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
 (STEM) trailer recently.

 The trailer, funded by a grant from the ARRL Foundation, offers
 visitors a hands-on STEM experience, including a CW oscillator,
 a display about the history of Morse code, and signage explaining
 the history of wireless technology and radios.

 There are set ups for visitors to build an FM radio. They even have
 a working replica of a spark-gap transmitter. There is also an
 amateur station with telescoping mast and the trailer has all of the
 necessary equipment for youth to fox hunt.

 ATARA Activities Director Diane Warner, KE8HLD, said it was a great
 day. She stated, "It was exciting to see children's excitement as
 they keyed their name in Morse code, built an FM radio and watched
 the waterfall on the radio station's monitor."
 
 Ms Warner also thanked the ARRL Foundation, saying, "We have been
 given a wonderful opportunity to reach youth and adults and show them
 the wonderful world of amateur radio!"

 The All Things Amateur Radio Association is an ARRL Affiliated Club.

 I'm Alec VK2APC.





SILENT KEY



 Cliff Bastin, VK6LZ, longest serving VK6 WIA Divisional President
 turned 90 this year and has just become SILENT KEY. With this news
 his Son Mark VK6FIVE.

 My Dad, Cliff Bastin was 1st Licenced in 1978 as VK5NCB and as
 member of the VK5LZ E.A.R.C.

 As a family we began, to life the life of Amateur Radio, with
 weekends away be it John Moyle or JOTA, we did Fox Hunts and put in
 strong showings in the annual Remembrance Day contest as well as a
 host of other Ham activities.

 During this moved to WA in 1980, and as an aumage to the Elizabeth
 Club, dad first took VK6NLZ an then KLZ on the way to Full Call and
 6LZ. Mum (Christine) took her Technicians and became VK6ZLZ, creating
 TEAM LZ.

 In the 1st VK6 Divisional WIA Meeting, held at the Institute of
 Engineers building, just days after arriving in VK6, dad put his hand
 up to help out as they had just lost their treasurer. This lead to a
 lifetime of service, being on Council of the Division until the
 National WIA was formed. Cliff Bastin became in terms of total time
 in the position the longest serving VK6 President.
 My Mother  Christine also  served on council for most of that time as
 well and they were also both strong members and councillors for the
 West Australian Repeater Group.
 
 During the 80s and 90s He was part of the team that built the
 Busselton and Cataby repeaters, also scoping out for a proposed
 repeater on Rottnest Is. he was also a Repeater manager for the
 Rolystone repeater for a time in the naughties.

 Sadly just over a month and a half after reaching the milestone age
 of 90, a short string of infections one after another took their
 toll; I must now inform that RAOTC member number 1310, and an Ex-G,
 as well as a valued WARG Life Member has passed to Silent Key,
 although he'd probably say that his key's been silent for a long
 time. Sorry... but if you're going to tell dad jokes, it might as
 well be about your dad.

 Love you dad, vale Cliff Bastin, VK6LZ.

 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	

 The German DARC is once again hosting its famous HamCamp during the
 upcoming Friedrichshafen fair in Germany from the 22nd to the 25th
 of June. There will be 160 beds available for youngsters up to 27
 years of age and their attendants. 




 REGION TWO

 Currently, radio amateurs in the US have access to five discrete
 channels on a secondary basis and can use an effective radiated power
 100 W PEP.

 The FCC proposes to allocate 15 kHz of contiguous bandwidth between
 5351.5 - 5366.5 kHz on a secondary basis with a maximum power of only
 15 W EIRP (equivalent to 9.15 W ERP). This allocation was adopted at
 the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference.

 The US federal government is the primary user of the 5 MHz spectrum.
 The government's manager of spectrum use, the National
 Telecommunications and Information Administration has expressed
 support for implementing the allocation as adopted at WRC-15.
 Doing so would result in amateurs losing access to four of the five
 discrete channels, and power limits would be reduced however, it
 would provide access to a new contiguous 15 kHz band that includes
 one of the current five channels.




 The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is recruiting the second
 group of students for their program, Exploring the Electromagnetic
 Spectrum (and Why Amateur Radio Matters).

 This program aims to educate emerging generations about the
 electromagnetic spectrum through an interactive, substantive
 experience with amateur radio. Funded by a grant from Amateur Radio
 Digital Communications (ARDC), the program focuses on broadening the
 excitement of amateur radio among BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ students.

 NRAO is looking for 20 students, 18-20 years old, with an interest in
 learning about the electromagnetic spectrum and amateur radio
 including obtaining amateur radio licenses. The program will begin
 in September and run through May 2024.

 If selected, students will:
 
 Receive a stipend, $4,000 over the 40-week project and m meet
 weekly to learn more about the electromagnetic spectrum and how it is
 used in a variety of STEM fields. They also will prepare to take and
 pass the US Technician Class amateur radio license test.

 BOOK REVIEW

 Amateur radio operator and intelligence studies professor at
 Charles Sturt University, Dr Hank Prunckun (VK5XB), has had a book
 on "spy radio" published.

 As we know, secret intelligence operations that used covert radio
 methods did not end when the Berlin Wall fell.  Radios are still
 utilised by spies operating in denied areas and by various
 underground groups.  This is because intelligence officers who serve
 overseas under non-official cover and the agents they recruit need to
 communicate with those directing their mission.

 Operations officers need reliable yet secret channels to receive
 instructions and send back data; their agents need the same methods
 to ask questions as issues arise, so these urgent matters demand
 dependable equipment.  While operatives who work from embassies under
 official cover have the luxury of using secure computer links to
 transmit their cables, those under non-official cover need other
 devices.

 This is where Hank's book finds its audience.

 Titled Espionage Black Book Seven: Spy Radio Explained
 tinyurl.com/bdcsrh9z

 Hank posits that although the theory of secret communication is
 straight-forward, covert communications systems are technically
 advanced.  Accordingly, to understand the topic, Hank takes the
 reader through the scientific basics of radio spycraft.  Released in
 April by Australian publisher Bibliologica Press, his book is
 available from any online bookseller.

 Where has Australia's commitment to International Marconi Day
 been parked?

 Well in the US and one PARK in particular they commemorated and 
 celebrated that day in 1903 when the first public two-way wireless
 communication occurred between the United States and Europe.

 A message from President Theodore Roosevelt was sent to King Edward
 VII from the South Wellfleet site, now preserved within the Cape Cod
 National Seashore in Massachusetts.

 For International Marconi Day 2023, the Marconi Cape Cod Radio Club
 activated the site with their club call sign, KM1CC. Their event
 featured a special guest, the Director of the US National Park
 Service Charles "Chuck" Sams III.

 The Director operated third party from the site for a scheduled QSO
 with W 1 AW, the Hiram Percy Maxim Memorial Station at ARRL
 Headquarters in Newington, Connecticut.

 During the 40-meter QSO, Sams relayed his appreciation for the
 history of the site, stating, "This historic site is listed on the
 National Register of Historic Places for its global importance in
 communication history." He also noted his time in the United States
 Navy and how critical it was to have two-way radio communications
 from ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship.

 XW-2A Satellite Decays

 The popular linear transponder satellite XW-2A has decayed from
 orbit some 8 years after being launched in September 2015. The record
 distance achieved on XW-2A was a transatlantic QSO between EA 4 NF
 in Spain and VE 1 CWJ in Nova Scotia - a distance of 4,751 km.

 (ANS)


 
 For nearly 27 years the Japanese Fuji-3 Oscar 29 satellite remains
 the most widely used linear transponder satellite and an ideal
 starting point for beginners. However, the period of permanent
 illumination of the solar panels powering OSCAR-29 is over again.
 For now the transponders will be powered up each morning, and will
 run until the solar panels receive too little light.

 NEW WORLD DISTANCE RECORD ON 430 MHz

 The day after Christmas 2022, Bernie van der Walt, ZS4TX contacted
 Thomas Worthington, NH6Y on Maui Island, Hawaii on the 430 MHz band.

 They used Q65, a digital mode from the WSJT suite of protocols, with
 signals reflected off the moon. The contact was confirmed on the
 Logbook of the World, along with previous contacts on 50 and 144 MHz.
 Tom had also worked Bernie on 144 MHz when Bernie was 7P8Z in
 Lesotho.

 Hawaii is very close to being antipodal from South Africa. After a
 series of enquiries, it has become evident that the distance of
 19,054 km is a new world record, beating the 1989 record of Ian
 White, G3SEK (now GM3SEK) and Graham Alderson, ZL3AAD by about 84 km.
 Graham had incrementally improved the record from 1985 to 1989 with
 several contacts into Europe.

 Bernie ZS4TX is pursuing the ultimate goal of a DXCC award on the
 70CM band. He's already confirmed contacts with almost half of the
 required 100 countries.
