   ** RESCUE RADIO:  AMATEUR RADIO RESPONDS TO COLORADO FLOODS Ham radio   
   was once again a first responder as a week of torrential rainfall   
   brought destruction to parts of Colorado.  Many of these were the same   
   areas that were damaged by a series of wind-driven wildfires earlier   
   this year and back in 2012.  At least seven people have been confirmed   
   as killed by deadly flooding and efforts to locate more than 1,000   
   missing people continue. Some of the worst flooding followed the path   
   of the High Park and Waldo Canyon fires.  The 2013 Waldo Canyon fire   
   was the worst in the state's history burning more than 18,000 acres   
   near Colorado Springs and destroying more than 300 homes. Jack Ciaccia,   
   WM0G is the ARRL Colorado Section Manager.  He says that as the flood   
   waters began arriving on Thursday, August 12th, ham radio operators   
   were ready: -- Ciaccia"  "The hams in the local ARES groups reported to   
   the regional and local county emergency operations centers and manned   
   their positions.  Plus the state Emergency Operations Center in   
   Centennial Colorado was opened and staffed by senior ARES personnel" --   
   The unprecedented storms dealt a heavy blow to both utilities and   
   communications.  News reports say that many cellular telephone towers   
   have either fallen, were washed away or are simply without power.  This   
   in turn cut off wireless and broadband communications to several   
   communities.   Also destroyed have been powerlines and some   
   landline-based telephone service.  This has left ham radio as the   
   mainstay of communications into and out of these areas.   
   -- Ciaccia:  "The next thing to happen was we started hearing of   
   evacuation centers being opened kind of spontaneously because a large   
   building in a dry area was the only criteria.  And as fast as we could   
   we needed to get communications to them because in many of the mountain   
   areas where these evacuation centers were there was no other means of   
   communications" -- As the operation progressed, some hams were assigned   
   to monitor the Boulder County ARES Repeater as well as the two Mountain   
   Emergency Radio Network Repeaters located in high altitude communities.   
    The latter turned out to be true life savers.  Again, WM0G: --   
   Ciaccia:  "We were fortunate to have some hams located in some of the   
   remote areas which is (the result) of another project that we had   
   created in the past year since the fires called the Mountain Emergency   
   Radio Network.  This is a small network of repeaters that the ARES hams   
   have trained upward of 60 mountain residents and who have gotten their   
   licenses.  We then repurposed a bunch of VHF radios ­ both handy   
   talkies and mobiles for them to utilize these repeaters. "And just   
   tonight we were told by the Fire Chief in one of those remote   
   communities that had it not have been for that MERM repeater system   
   that there probably would have been a lot more deaths because people   
   were able to communicate with each other as to what was happening,   
   where the destruction was and how to get out." -- On Monday the 16th   
   the ARES groups received new marching orders.  In addition to search   
   assistance, evacuations, shelter communications and logistics another   
   role has been added.  That of disaster assessment: -- Ciaccia:    
   "Disaster assessment teams from the Red Cross and from the counties   
   will be mobilizing and we have been asked to provide hams, radios and   
   also video cameras to record video of the disaster areas.  So we will   
   be taking on that assignment as well." -- According to Ciaccia so far   
   some 200 ham radio volunteers have been deployed in and around the   
   various flood-stricken counties with some providing communication where   
   no other means existed or still exists.  News reports say that at the   
   height of the flooding that the towns of Estes Park, Lyons and   
   Jamestown were relying on ham radio as their only contact with the   
   outside world. This is a still developing story and we will have more   
   in future Amateur Radio Newsline reports.  (ARNewsline(tm)) ** RESCUE   
   RADIO:  XE HAMS RESPOND TO TROPICAL STORMS INGRID AND MANUEL Mexican   
   radio amateurs have been using 40 and 20 meters as part of their   
   response to the effects of tropical storms Ingrid and Manuel.    
   According to a posting to Twitter by that nations national amateur   
   radio society, both 7.060 and 14.120 MHz have been activated in the   
   wake of these severe weather outbursts.  Amateurs elsewhere are asked   
   to please keep those two frequencies clear until post storm   
   communications have been secured. (FMRE, Southgate) ** WORLDBEAT:    
   CHINA VS. THE PHILIPPINES OVER SCARBOROUGH REEF DXpeditions to   
   Scarborough Reef and other locations in that region could become a lot   
   harder if not impossible if China makes good on its expected move to   
   occupy a disputed chain of shoals in the South China Sea.  This   
   according to a top Philippines' diplomat who says that China may act to   
   expand China's territory before regional rules on maritime behavior   
   comes into effect. Albert del Rosario is the Philippines Foreign   
   Affairs Secretary.  On September 4th he said that his nation believes   
   China's incursion into the area known as the Scarborough Shoal is a   
   threat to peace in Southeast Asia.   But in Beijing, a foreign ministry   
   spokesman described the shoal area as China's inherent territory.   
   Scarborough Shoal or Reef, also known as Huangyan Island, is a shoal   
   located between the Macclesfield Bank and Luzon Island of the   
   Philippines in the South China Sea.  It is a disputed territory claimed   
   by the People's Republic of China, by Taiwan and the Philippines.  The   
   shoal's status is often discussed in conjunction with other territorial   
   disputes in the South China Sea such as those involving the Spratly   
   Islands or the Paracel Islands.  Since the 2012 Scarborough Shoal   
   standoff access to the territory has been restricted by the People's   
   Republic of China. Tension in the South China Sea has risen of late as   
   China uses its growing naval might to assert extensive claims over the   
   oil and gas rich waters more forcefully.  This in turn has been   
   fuelling fears of a military clash for some time. The last major   
   operation from Scarborough was in 2007 where the BS7H team made over   
   45,000 QSO's.  Currently Scarborough is listed as number 21 in the Club   
   Log Most Wanted List and number 7 in the latest most needed list   
   published by the DX Magazine. (defensenews.com, inquirer.net, South

   DISTANCE RECORD A new United Kingdom distance record on 76 Gigagertz of   
   102 kilometers was achieved on Saturday September 14th.  This in a   
   contact between Chris Towns G8BKE and John Hazell G8ACE at Batcombe   
   Hill, in Dorset and Ian Lamb GW8KQW on Eglwysilan Mountain in Gwent.   
   The success of this attempt is a result of continual innovation and   
   systematic improvements and testing of the equipment built and used by   
   the Wessex microwave enthusiasts.  This with support from other   
   microwave radio devotees in the UK and Germany. This is also believed   
   to be the first 76GHz contact between Wales and England. The mode used   
   was narrowband FM.  More is on the web at tinyurl.com/uk-76ghz-record.

   ** ENFORCEMENT:  PORTUGAL TAKES ACTION AGAINST ILLEGAL RADIO   
   COMMUNICATIONS Portugal is going after the radio bad guys.  Amateur   
   Radio Newsline's Norm Seeley, KI7UP, has more: -- Jose Francisco,   
   CT4AN, reports that the Portuguese national telecommunications   
   regulator ANACOM has taken action against illegal radio communications   
   in that nation.  In a second joint action, ANACOM and the Portuguese   
   Maritime Police seized radio gear and issued heavy fines to ten   
   unlicensed operators.  Besides having the equipment confiscated, the   
   operators face monetary forfeitures which may reach close to 1650 US   
   Dollars each. The Authorities said that the raids were based on   
   interference complaints to legal Portuguese radio operators.  These   
   included stations licensed to operate in the Amateur Radio Service,   
   Aeronautical and Maritime Services and on certain unspecified   
   commercial radio frequencies. For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Norm

   ** ENFORCEMENT:  AUSTRALIAN CB OPERATOR ACCUSED OF HARASSMENT A   
   44-year-old Adelaide, Australia, man has appeared in court charged with   
   being abusive over his CB radio.  The Australian Communications and   
   Media Authority said the man had been charged with five offences   
   following an investigation into his alleged abuse and harassment over   
   that nations Citizens Band Radio service. The unidentified man appeared   
   at the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Friday, September 6 and was   
   released under an order to appear again on November 15th. Under   
   Australia's Radio Communications Act it is against the law to operate a   
   CB radio in a way that would cause a person to be seriously alarmed or   
   affronted or to harass.  It should be noted that Australia is a nations   
   whose legal system protects the identity of those accused of legal   
   infractions until a conviction has taken place.   (Seven News

   ISSUED NOV The FCC appears to be admitting that it is stumped by a   
   mystery station in Omaha, Nebraska, that operates on 1490 KHz in the AM   
   broadcast band. According to the Omaha World Herald newspaper, the   
   station uses the call letters KOMJ but is seemingly without owners,   
   advertisers or disc jockeys. Instead it plays a continuous loop of   
   oldies that some liken to a 1960's jukebox stuffed with an endless   
   supply of coins. In papers filed last month the FCC admitted it was   
   stumped in that it could not locate the stations owner nor its studio   
   location.  The regulatory agency said in its filing that the station is   
   technically owned by Cochise Broadcasting, in Jackson, Wyoming but that   
   it could find a phone number nor a website for the company. Regular   
   listeners to the station's oldies format say that commercials aren't   
   part of the entertainment cycle leaving questions about who is paying   
   for the programming.  Meantime on August 14th the FCC did issue a   
   Notice of Violation to Cochise Broadcasting for various alleged   
   violations of its rules in relation to the operation of KOMJ. More on   
   this fascinating story is on the web at

   changing of the guard in amateur radio continues with word of the   
   passing of one of the hobby's true legends.  Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF,   
   has the story of the life and legacy of Dr. Wayne Green,   
   W-2-Never-Say-Die: -- One of the people who truly changed the face of   
   ham radio in both the 20th and 21st centuries has gone to his final   
   reward.  This with the sad news that Dr. Wayne S. Green II, W2NSD, of   
   Hancock, New Hampshire, died September 13th at the age of 91. Dr. Green   
   was an outspoken figure during his many years writing about the hobby.    
   His public career really began with a five year stint at CQ Magazine in   
   the 1950's before founding 73 Magazine in late 1959. While at the helm   
   of 73 he often used the title of El Supremo and Founder of the magazine   
   which he published until 2003. Over the years Dr. Green was known for   
   many things.  He traveled the world and did his best to introduce ham   
   radio in developing nations.  He was one of the earliest supporters of   
   emerging modes such as RTTY, FM and repeaters and even started the   
   first ham radio digital communications magazine.  And as each new   
   technology came along, there was W2NSD as its point man urging all of   
   us to embrace the same dreams that he had.  Be it ham radio, personal   
   computing, the Compact Disc or numerous other technologies, there was   
   Wayne Green urging anyone who would listen to give it a try. But what   
   Wayne Green, W2NSD, will likely best be remembered for was his   
   editorials.  He wrote over a thousand of them covering everything from   
   giving his personal support to even the most mundane aspects of our   
   hobby to alternate science such as his belief in producing energy   
   through cold fusion.  The list of what he wrote about goes on and on.    
   It took a lifetime for him to write and for many of us; it took a good   
   part of our lifetime to read.  And in the process his zest for life and   
   commitment to ham radio and technology changed both for the better. On   
   his blog, Dr. Green left a short note for all of us.  It was his final   
   entry.  Please permit me to read it to you as it sums up the life of   
   the man as he saw himself: The wall clock clicks out the seconds With   
   so many yet ahead, I've ignored them A battery keeps the clock going I   
   wonder how my own battery is doing? The one with the most toys wins   
   Awash in toys, I'll pass on What did I win? Now what happens to my   
   toys? I'll leave books, records, tapes, and photos By the thousands A   
   lifetime archive Worthless to anyone but me. Pictures of family and   
   friends Treasured books and music The mileposts of my life All will be   
   headed for the trash heap. Like my father, grandfather, and great   
   grandfather I'll be another gravestone In a northern New Hampshire   
   cemetery And the world will carry on as if nothing had happened. I have   
   no complaints I've enjoyed the world and helped it a bit What would I   
   change if I could do my life over? Get a thick pad and I'll make a   
   list. 73 Wayne.  We will see you once again on the other side of the   
   great ethereal abyss. For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill

   EMERGING TECHNOLOGY:  HAM OWNED COMPANY DEVELOPS HF ASSET TRACKING   
   NETWORK HySky Technologies Inc. is using High Frequency communications   
   for an innovative asset tracking and reporting network.  Amateur Radio   
   Newsline's Skeeter Nash, N5ASH, has the details: -- The company whose   
   the Chief Executive Officer is Charles Maynard,  KJ4PPE, recently   
   gained an FCC license to use 954 H-F channels each 3 kHz wide.  The   
   mobile tracking units using this spectrum will transmit a maximum of 1   
   watt Effective Radiated Power using a small low-efficiency broadband   
   antenna.  The data will be received by nine stations located at   
   low-noise sites across the USA which will then be forward the data to   
   customers. The signal being transmitted will have a bandwidth of 2800   
   Hz and an emission designator of 2K80G1D.  The company says that a   
   military High Frequency waveform will be used and claims the system   
   will overcome coverage and other problems associated with traditional   
   tracking devices using cell-phone or satellite transmission interfaces.   
   The license issued to HySky reportedly covers up to 10,000 devices

   HAM RADIO IN SPACE:  NEW INFLATABLE ANTENNA FOR CUBESATS The   
   Massachusetts Institute of Technology reports that researchers have   
   developed a new design of inflatable antenna for CubeSats that can fold   
   into a compact space and then inflate when on-orbit. Due to their small   
   size CubeSats have up to now been limited to small monopole or dipole   
   antennas.  Such low gain omni-directional antennas have in turn   
   restricted CubeSats to Low Earth Orbits using lower data rates than   
   would be possible with a large directional antenna array. But the new   
   inflatable antenna may significantly increase the communication range   
   of these small satellites, enabling them to travel much farther in the   
   solar system.   It is claimed the distance that can be covered by a   
   satellite with an inflatable antenna array is seven times farther than   
   that of existing CubeSat communications. The MIT team, led by   
   Alessandra Babuscia, is part of the research group of Professor Sara   
   Seager, KB1WTW.  The group also includes graduate students Mary Knapp,   
   KB1WUA, Benjamin Corbin, and Mark Van de Loo from MIT, and Rebecca

   FINAL ITEM:  NASA TO REACTIVATE WISE INFRARED RADIO TELESCOPE And   
   finally this week, a currently mothballed space telescope will soon   
   have a new mission in space as we hear from Newsline's Jeff Clark,   
   K8JAC: -- NASA will reactivate a currently unused infrared space   
   telescope for a three-year mission.  This to search for potentially   
   dangerous asteroids on a collision course with Earth. The Wide-field   
   Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, telescope also will hunt for targets   
   for a future mission to send a robotic spacecraft to rendezvous with a   
   small asteroid and relocate part or all of it into a high orbit around   
   the moon.  Astronauts would then visit the relocated asteroid during a   
   test flight of NASA's deep-space Orion capsule which is slated for   
   launch sometime in 2021. Launched in December 2009, the WISE telescope   
   spent 13 months scouting for telltale infrared signs of asteroids,   
   stars, distant galaxies and other celestial objects, especially those   
   too dim to radiate in visible light.  As part of its all-sky mapping   
   mission, WISE observed more than 34,000 asteroids in the main asteroid   
   belt between Mars and Jupiter and another 135 asteroids in orbits that   
   come close to Earth.  In all, researchers cataloged more than 560   
   million objects from data radioed back to Earth from the WISE space   
   telescope. Im Jeff Clark, K8JAC. -- Orion and a heavy-lift rocket
