   RESCUE RADIO: HAM RADIO EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS AGREEMENT IN POLAND   
      
   Polish radio amateurs have signed an agreement with that nation's government   
   regarding emergency radio communications. Amateur Radio Newsline's Heather   
   Embee, KB3TZD, has the details:   
      
   --   
      
   On May 7th, what might best be described as a mutual aid agreement was signed   
   between Poland's Minister of Administration and Digitization, Michal Boni,   
   and the Chairman of The Polish Amateur Radio Union, Jerzy Jakubowski,   
   SP7CBG. The accord promises cooperation between that nations amateur radio   
   service and the Polish government in support of actions that provide   
   information on natural disasters and other events that threaten public   
   safety.   
      
   The new agreement encourages cooperation between the Ministry and the Polish   
   Amateur Radio Union in the support of actions relating to the creation of   
   back-up radio communication in the Republic of Poland. This in emergency   
   situations or when normal communications methods such as telephones and the   
   internet are overloaded or have failed.   
      
   Cooperation and coordination between The Ministry of Administration and The   
   Polish Amateur Radio Union will be the responsibility of The Planning   
   Department of Civil Emergency Management and Emergency Notification System.   
   Participation in the agreement is voluntary and financial investment is not   
   obligatory unless the parties agree to it at a local level. This could   
   include renting or purchasing equipment or providing staff during training   
   exercises as well as in the event of an actual emergency callout.   
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm heather Embee, KB3TZD, in Berwick,   
   Pennsylvania.   
      
   --   
      
   The agreement was first drafted in 2011 by the Polish Amateur Radio Union   
   with the cooperation of the former Ministry of Internal Affairs and   
   Administration. (IARU-R1)

   RADIO RULES: SOUTH AFRICA RADIO RULES CORRECTION STILL ON HOLD   
      
   The long sought after correction to the South African regulations regarding   
   amateur radio will take a bit longer. This according that nations national   
   society the South African Radio League.   
      
   In a news release that national society says that the subject of corrections   
   to the rules published on April 1st of 2011 is on the agenda of every joint   
   meeting between itself and regulator the Independent Communications   
   Authority of South Africa. The problem is that the matter must remain in   
   limbo pending the outcome of a court case between the regulatory body and a   
   cellular telephone company.   
      
   The corrected regulations are ready in draft format. They address the issue   
   of power for both class A and Class B licenses on certain bands and a few   
   other issues. The draft still has to be approved at the ICASA council. But   
   until the pending matter between ICASA and the cellular provider is   
   adjudicated no progress can be made. (SARL)

   RADIO LAW: CANADA MAKES POWER LINE INTERFERENCE CONTACT INFORMATION   
   AVAILABLE   
      
   Telecommunications regulator Industry Canada has just posted contact   
   information on where to report Power Line Radio Interference. The   
   cyberspace location is tinyurl.com/Canada-interference-report.   
      
   This information at the website covers all the major Power Line companies in   
   Canada and is being provided with the cooperation of the Canadian   
   Electricity Association and its member power utilities. Hams in Canada are   
   encouraged to use this contact information and report a problem when   
   confronted with suspected power line interference. (VE3LC)

   RESTRUCTURING: UK HAMS MAY LOOSE 2310-2450 AND 3450-3475 MHZ BANDS   
      
   UK Telecommunications regulator Ofcom has published a Notice of Proposed   
   Rules Making which in Great Britain is called a Consultation. In this case   
   relating to amateur use of the 2310 to 2450 and 3400 to 3475 MHz bands.   
      
   According to the Consultation document, these frequencies are within, and   
   adjacent to, spectrum planned for release by the Ministry of Defense or MoD.   
   The Ministry intends to free up 40 MHz of spectrum between 2350 and 2390   
   MHz and an additional 150 MHz from 3410 to 3600 MHz for new civil uses. The   
   technical and regulatory aspects of this release will be the subject of   
   another Consultation in the future, but in advance of this, Ofcom is looking   
   at proposals to make changes to the United Kingdom Amateur Radio License for   
   these bands.   
      
   According to Ofcom, it is likely that the released Ministry of Defense   
   spectrum will be used for wireless broadband using 4G Long Term Evolution or   
   L-T-E advanced technology. Based on its technical analysis Ofcom believes   
   that the impact and likelihood of harmful interference being caused by   
   amateur uses to new users in the 2350 to 2390 and 3410 to 3600 MHz spectrum   
   is sufficiently severe to preclude continued ham radio use following the   
   reallocation taking place.   
      
   Ofcom is also looking at proposals for the adjacent bands at 2310 to 2350,   
   2390 to 2400 and 3400to 3410 MHz. In those cases Ofcom's current thinking   
   is that amateurs should continue to be granted access to these adjacent   
   bands although with additional terms in the license which amend the current   
   terms of access to these bands. Continued access would be on the basis that   
   interference may not be caused to new and existing uses in the release and   
   adjacent bands and that no protection from interference from those new uses   
   can be expected.   
      
   UK hams have until July 22nd to file in response to the consultation on this   
   matter. (Southgate)

   HAM TECHNOLOGY: MOON BOUNCE FROM ANTARCTICA TO ENGLAND   
      
   The exploits of Craig Hayhow, VK0JJJ, in bouncing radio signals off the moon   
   from Antarctica has been written about in the Australian Antarctic Division   
   science newsletter.   
      
   VK0JJJ achieved a 742,000 kilometer hop when he made an EME contact with   
   Peter Taylor G8BCG at Cornwall in England, on May 4th. Two nights later he   
   contacted Bo Nilsson, SM7FJE, in Sweden through another EME contact.   
      
   The newsletter hailed these as a first from an Australian Antarctic station.   
   It also notes that the equipment and software has now been proven and that   
   more EME contacts will be made. (VK3PC)

   DIFFERENT DX: 4 METER UK DXPEDITION TO LA MOYE JERSEY   
      
   A DX operation of a different kind. This with word that the United Kingdom's   
   North Wakefield Radio Club will be active as GJ4NOK on the pan-European 4   
   meter band from La Moye in Jersey on July 5th to the 8th.   
      
   The operators will be on for at least 8 hours on July 5th and 6th and 16 to   
   18 hours on the 77th and 8th using CW, SSB and FSK44. The activity also   
   coincides with VHF National Field Day so the station is sure to be in   
   demand.   
      
   The operation is sponsored by The DX shop which is loaning the DXpedition a

   RESTRUCTURING: NEW USER ON THE 903 MHZ BAND   
      
   According to the ARRL, a portion of the 902 to 928 MHz or 33 centimeter band   
   may become less useful to radio amateurs in urban areas as a result of a   
   recent FCC Order. Amateur Radio Newsline's Stephen Kinford, N8WB, reports:   
      
   --   
      
   The FCC as given Progeny LMS, LLC permission to begin commercial operation   
   of its multilateration location and monitoring service known as an M-LMS in   
   the upper portion of the band 33 centimeter band. According to the   
   regulatory agency, Progeny's location service is designed to operate using   
   approximately 4 megahertz or about one-half of the M-LMS portions of the   
   band between 919.750 and 927.750 MHz where the company holds its licenses.   
      
   In its June 6th release, the FCC stated that Progeny is deploying a wide-area   
   positioning system to provide more precise location services in areas where   
   Global Positioning System and other existing services may not work   
   effectively. This is particularly true of indoor locations or in urban   
   canyons.   
      
   The FCC opened the 33 centimeter band to ham radio on a secondary basis in   
   1985, provided hams did not interfere with the Automatic Vehicle Monitoring   
   service, which the Commission subsequently expanded into the M-LMS. While   
   M-LMS operations, at least on paper, have a higher priority than unlicensed   
   Part 15 devices on the band, Progeny had to demonstrate through field   
   testing that its network would not cause unacceptable levels of interference   
   to such Part 15 devices as cordless telephones and baby monitors. This was   
   a result of an FCC policy to promote co-existence in the band, while not   
   elevating Part 15 devices to co-equal status with M-LMS systems.   
      
   The FCC says that Part 15 devices will adapt to Progeny's operations because   
   they are designed for operation in an interference environment. However the   
   effect on ham radio, especially any attempts at weak signal operations will   
   likely be hampered severely by this new entry into the band.

   RESCUE RADIO: FORT LEE N.J. BEGINS CITY EMCOMM ALERT AM STATION   
      
   Fort Lee, New Jersey has launched its own emergency broadcast radio station   
   for alerting the public in times of disaster. Put on the air by the mayor   
   Mark Sokolich office and the Fort Lee City Council, residents can tune into   
   the new emergency station on 1630 Kilohertz for real-time updates and safety   
   tips during events like Hurricane Sandy.   
      
   The station will operate out of the Fort Lee Municipal Building with   
   generator backup. Aside from emergency announcements, city officials may   
   use the station for traffic updates and to broadcast City Council meetings.   
      
   Fort Lee also used a separate $10,000 private donation to buy more than 250   
   hand-cranked or wind-up emergency radios. These will be distribute at   
   municipal buildings, communal spaces and large residential complexes. (NJ

   RESCUE RADIO: NAB HONORS BROADCASTERS ASSISTANCE IN WAKE OF OK TWISTERS   
      
   The National Association of Broadcasters has issued a special Oklahoma   
   edition of its Licensed to Serve community service newsletter. This to   
   salute Oklahoma broadcasters and others who have been assisting in the wake   
   of the tornadoes that recently struck the state.   
      
   According to the newsletter, across Oklahoma stations led efforts to assist   
   citizens affected by the severe weather. Some examples include Ponca City's   
   KPNC-FM and KLOR-FM) raising $27,000 for the Red Cross while the whole town   
   put together four truckloads of supplies in the wake of the Moore tornado.   
      
   But it was not just stations in Oklahoma that helped out. Radio broadcasters   
   and broadcast groups across the nation made special efforts to raise funds   
   or collect supplies. Cumulus Media put the call out to its 500 plus   
   stations and received almost $4 million in a variety of efforts, including   
   involvement in the Healing in the Heartland concert by its country music   
   formats. Clear Channel Communications also pitched in on the Healing in the   
   Heartland benefit.   
      
   Other fund raising or direct relief efforts took place in Dallas Texas, St.   
   Louis Missouri and Terra Haute, Indiana to name only a few. (RW)

   NAMES IN THE NEWS: MAJOR ARMSTRONG HONORED BY HIS HOMETOWN   
      
   It took nearly 60 years after his death, but the inventor of FM radio has   
   finally been recognized on the street where he lived. Amateur Radio   
   Newsline's Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, has the details:   
      
   --   
      
   On Monday, June 17th, city officials of Yonkers, New York in joined with   
   radio enthusiasts to unveil a new plaque honoring Major Edwin Howard   
   Armstrong. This for his numerous accomplishments in the area of radio   
   communications.   
      
   The bronze plaque in Hudson-Fulton Park is just a block away from the site of   
   Armstrong's home on Warburton Avenue. It overlooks the Hudson River and   
   across to the unique tower that Armstrong built in the near by town of   
   Alpine, New Jersey back in 1937 through 1938.   
      
   The plaque was the brainchild of Steve Klose. He is a New Jersey resident   
   who learned of Armstrong because of their shared interest in fast   
   motorcycles. Klose became fascinated by Armstrong's story and ended up   
   leading a fundraising campaign that generated more than $4,000 in   
   contributions to pay for the plaque.   
      
   Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano and several city council members were on hand for   
   Monday's ceremony, joined by two Armstrong descendants. The ceremony was   
   broadcast live on WA2XMN, the experimental Armstrong Memorial Station that   
   transmits on Armstrong's old 42.8 MHz frequency from the Armstrong's Alpine   
   tower.

   in Los Angeles.   
      
   --   
      
   This plaque may not be the last commemoration of Armstrong in his native   
   Yonkers. City officials are now working to get a replica made of a bust of   
   Armstrong statue now on display at Columbia University. There is also   
   discussion ongoing of renaming part of Warburton Avenue in Major Armstrong's   
   honor. (RW, published news reports)

   CHANGING TECHNOLOGY: LAND BASED TELEGRAPH IN INDIA ENDS JULY 15   
      
   It's the end of an era for an old but reliable form of communications in   
   India. Amateur Radio Newsline's Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, tells us what's going   
   away:   
      
   --   
      
   The newspaper the Hindu reports that as of July 15th that telegraph service   
   will come to an end in India. This is because of financial constraints that   
   have forced telecommunications provider B-S-N-L to wind down the service.   
      
   India's first telegraph message was transmitted live between Calcutta and   
   Diamond Harbor on November 5, 1850. That was a distance of about 50   
   kilometers. The service was opened for use by the general public in   
   February 1855 with a Radio-telegram system between the UK and India   
   established in 1927.   
      
   Over the years, B-S-N-L made several technical upgrades in the telegraph   
   service, with the latest being the introduction of a web-based messaging   
   system in 2010. However, growing Internet penetration and cheaper mobile   
   phones in the last decade have kept people away from the 182 telegraph   
   offices still in operation across that country.

   Lastly, LA8DW will be on the air as JW8DW from the JW5E club station on   
   Spitsbergen Island. This, between September 25th and October 3rd. Activity   
   will probably be on 80 through 10 meters using CW and SSB. Also there is the   
   possibility of some RTTY and PSK31. QSL via his home callsign, direct, via   
   the Bureau or electronically via Logbook of the World.

   THAT FINAL ITEM: A NEW PSA FOR FIELD DAY AND BEYOND   
      
   Lastly, just in case you are wondering about a new ham radio public service   
   spot being broadcast on some radio stations this past week, yes that is   
   Newsline's Jim Davis, W2JKD. Jim and our producer Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF,   
   put it together in less than 8 hours after reading requests from hams on   
   Facebook about not having anything new to help publicize Field Day this   
   year. As it was to close too Field Day weekend to get national   
   distribution, the decision was made to keep it a bit generic so that it   
   could be used at any time of the year. And this was the result:   
      
   --   
      
   "Amateur Radio, often called "Ham Radio" is really many hobbies and passions   
   under one name. From studying the stars to creating new computer   
   applications to practicing their emergency communications skills every June   
   on Field Day weekend, hams enjoy serving the community in many ways. To   
   find an amateur radio group near you, go to www.arrl.org/find-a-club"   
      
   --   
      
   No, there is no music bed nor video version and for good reason. Adding   
   music requires obtaining clearances and in some cases paying per play use   
   fees. And a video version would simply have taken to long to produce and   
   even longer to get any meaningful airplay. With little time to get it out   
   before Field Day weekend, the decision was made to keep it simple and that   
   seems to have worked.   
      
   The spot was originally distributed over the ARRL's Public Relations Remailer   
   to those in a position most likely able to get it on the air quickly. It is   
   currently available on our website at www.arnewsline.org and will be there   
   for another couple of days. If you want to download a higher fidelity copy   
   of it, just go to the site, scroll down a bit and follow the simple   
   instructions you will find there. We hope you will find it of use in   
   publicizing the greatest hobby in the world. (ARNewsline(tm))
