** This time next year, ESA's Huygens spaceprobe will be descending
through the atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon, becoming the first
spacecraft to land on a body in the outer Solar System. In January 2005,
Huygens will parachute below the clouds to see what is really going on. Its
battery of instruments will return over 1000 images as it floats down and
samples the chemistry of this exotic place. --SpaceDaily
** The ARRL will ask the FCC to create a new entry-level Amateur Radio
license that would include HF phone privileges without requiring a Morse
code test. The League also will propose consolidating all current licensees
into three classes, retaining the Element 1 Morse requirement--now 5
WPM--only for the highest class. --ARRL
** The Austrian Amateur Transmitter Federation says that a Broadband over
Power Line field test in the city of Linz has been cut short as a result of
excessive radio interference. According to the national ham radio society,
the Government Ministry for Commerce, Innovation and Technology closed down
Linz Power Company's B-P-L pilot project because it was generating
interference on the HF bands. --Newsline
