   RADIO RECORDS:  ZS6OB ACHIEVES 1ST SOUTH AFRICAN 2 METER DXCC   
      
   A new record for VHF DXing from South Africa.  David Conradie, ZR6DHC, tells   
   us about the success on 2 meters by Pine Pienaar, ZS6OB:   
      
   --   
   December saw a landmark for South African VHF DXing when Pine Pienaar ZS6OB   
   applied for the DXCC award using only contacts made in the two meter band.   
   With this Pine became the first amateur in Africa and only the second in the   
   southern hemisphere to achieve this feat.   
      
   DXCC is issued by the American Radio Relay League for proven contact with at   
   least 100 entities. Most of these entities are countries, with a few   
   additions that are regarded as separate, mostly for geographic reasons.   
      
   More than two thirds of two meter DXCC holders are in Europe, with their   
   concentration of almost 70 countries in close proximity. North America   
   features about a fifth of applicants, with about a tenth in Japan. Bob   
   Macquarie ZL3TY was the first in Oceania and the southern hemisphere, with   
   ZS6OB being first in Africa. South America has yet to produce its first   
   winner.   
      
   Pine used digital modes with a four-Yagi station. He has been working on his   
   DXCC for a full decade. His single-band award brings the number of bands on   
   which South Africans have earned DXCC to eleven.   
      
   For the Amateur radio Newsline I am David Conradie ZR6DHC   
   --   
      
   Our congratulations to ZS6OB, on this truly difficult achievement.  (ZR6DHC)

   WORLDBEAT:  NUMBER OF HAM RADIO LICENSEES IN UK IN DISPUTE   
      
   The U-K based Southgate news says that the number of ham radio operators in   
   the United Kingdom is on the decline and not growing as reported by other   
   news sources.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Norm Seeley, KI7UP reports:   
      
   --   
      
   The on-line Southgate News Service cites a sentence near the end of an   
   article published on the American Radio Relay League's web page using numbers   
   compiled by AH0A that the newsletter says gives a rather misleading   
   impression of the situation in the United Kingdom.   
      
   At the time it was posted, the ARRL article said that: "In the United   
   Kingdom, 76,362 licensees were on record as of March 2012 up by 3.9 percent   
   over 2011, and growth was consistent."  This says Southgate paints a   
   completely false picture of the situation where the reality is that the   
   number of UK radio amateurs has fallen by 47% over the past 7 years.   
      
   According to Southgate, United Kingdom Amateur Radio licenses should be   
   renewed or revalidated every 5 years.  But says the news service, U-K   
   telecommunications regulator Ofcom recently admitted that 47% of the licenses   
   reported in its monthly statistics had not been renewed.  Also that the   
   license statistics still include people who became Silent Keys or who gave up   
   the hobby as far back as 7 years ago.   
      
   Southgate says that in the UK there is also a double or even triple counting   
   of licenses.  It notes that when people upgrade from Foundation to   
   Intermediate and Full Advanced their previous licenses remain in the figures.   
   In addition, a significant number of amateurs hold two Full Advanced   
   licenses as a result of that nations old Class A and Class B licensing   
   structure.   
      
   While all of this may be true, anyone outside the United Kingdom can only go   
   by the official information provided by a nation's telecommunications   
   regulator.  And as this story is being written the numbers on the Ofcom   
   website show a grand total of 82,793 licensed radio amateurs in the UK as of   
   January 1st of this year.  That's an increase of 6,431 total UK hams since   
   the numbers cited by the ARRL web article appeared.   
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Norm Seeley, KI7UP, reporting.

   WORLDBEAT:  NEW UK BAND PLANS PUBLISHED   
      
   The Radio Society of Great Britain has published new band plans for all   
   United Kingdom amateur allocations from 136 kHz to 250 GHz.  Copies of the   
   band plan pages can be freely downloaded from the Operating section of the

   WORLDBEAT: CANADIAN NEWSPAPER SAYS HAM RADIO PERFECT FOR EMCOMM   
      
   The Canadian newspaper the Camrose has run an article describing how amateur   
   radios unique communications expertise can make all the difference in times   
   of emergency.  The article quotes Rose City Amateur Radio Club vice-president   
   Gary Horne VE6GD.  He says that one of the things hams do is keep an   
   emergency radio in the county office so if they are called on for emergency   
   communications that they have a base station already set up.  He also notes   
   that the city also has ham operators names should they need any help.   
      
   The article says that amateur radio operators are often called on to assist   
   in the coordination of emergency services during disasters like the Pine Lake   
   tornado, the floods in southern Alberta or the Slave Lake fire.  You can read

   DX UP FRONT:  NCDXF ANNOUNCES MAJOR GRANT TO FT5/T TROMELIN ISLAND DXPEDITION   
      
   In DX up-front, word that the Northern California DX Foundation has   
   announced a grant of $25,000 to the FT5 stroke T, Tromelin Island DXpedition   
   planned for November of this year.   
      
   Tromelin is a very small and very environmentally fragile area.  As such,   
   there are strict limitations to the number of visitors and the time allowable   
   on the island.  Because of this it is currently number ten on the DX   
   Magazine's Most Wanted List for 2014 and number three most wanted on the U.S.   
   West Coast.   
      
   For the past 42 years the Northern California DX Foundation has funded major   
   DXpeditions to many Most Wanted Entities.  Without this type of financial   
   support from the foundation, DXpeditions like this to challenging or rare   
   locations would not be possible.   
      
   More on the DXpedition itself is on-line at www.tromelin2014.com/en/

   DX UP FRONT:  LESOTHO DXPEDITION NEEDS MORE OPERATORS   
      
   K5LBU has announced that he is still looking for a few more team members for   
   a DXpedition to Lesotho this April.  He states that he already has three   
   DXers but islooking for several more.  Plans are to arrive in Johannesburg on   
   April 21st or 22nd and then drive down to Roma, Lesotho.  If he can end up   
   with 6 or more operators, the operation will have at least three stations on   
   the air.   Those interested can contact him via e-mail to 3DA0CF (at) gmail   
   (dot) com.  And we will have more DX news later on in this week's newscast.

   RESTRUCTURING:  CANADA FULLY AUTHORIZES 5 MHZ CHANNELS   
      
   Some good news for our friends to the North.  On January 22nd, the Canadian   
   regulator, Industry Canada released a decision to allow that nations ham   
   radio community the permanent use of five spot frequencies in the 60 meter or   
   5 MHz band.   
      
   The new grant in Canada is the result of an official Industry Canada    
   consultation held in the Summer 2012.  The frequencies designated are 5.332,    
   5.348, 5.358.5, 5.373 and 5.405 MHz.  Canadian hams can use them on a   
   non-interference, no-protection basis.  The maximum allowable bandwidth is    
   2.8 kHz at 100 watts peak envelope power.   
      
   It should be noted that in general, the new Canadian grant closely follows   
   the same permits and restrictions as imposed on United States hams by the   
   FCC.  In reality, Canadian amateurs have had access to these frequencies   
   since 2012, provided they applied for a special interim 5 MHz developmental   
   license using a specially assigned VX9 series callsign.  You can read the   
   full Industry Canada 5 MHz decision at tinyurl.com/canada-60-meter-grant.

   ENFORCEMENT:  CHURCH IN PUERTO RICO FINED FOR TOWER VIOLATION   
      
   The FCC proposed a $7,000 monetary forfeiture against the Catholic,   
   Apostolic and Roman Catholic Church in Puerto Rico.  This for it's alleged   
   failure to have an effective locked fence or other enclosure around the tower   
   for its WKVM A-M radio station in San Juan.   
      
   The story goes back to April 2nd of last year.  That's when an agent from   
   the San Juan office of the Enforcement Bureau inspected the station's   
   three-tower array and saw that the perimeter fence was not locked and one   
   section was lying on the ground.  Also, the individual fence around one of   
   the towers was partially on the ground and the gate was open.   
      
   In its response the station management told the FCC that a storm had damaged   
   the fences in the fall of 2012, however the fences around each of the three   
   towers was still intact.  It also said someone had damaged the perimeter   
   fence in the beginning of 2013.   
      
   The station said it had the individual tower fences repaired and was   
   planning to have the perimeter gate fixed.  However the FCC countered by   
   noting that the station had still violated its rules and that the proposed   
   fine is justified.   
      
   As is usual station was given 30 days pay or to file an appeal.  (FCC, RW)

   ENFORCEMENT:  TWO ALLEGED COPPER THIEVES CAUGHT IN CONNECTICUT   
      
   Police have apprehended a pair of individuals whom they allege stole copper   
   from multiple transmitter sites in the Connecticut Valley.   
      
   According to the Society of Broadcast Engineers Chapter 14 newsletter, the   
   unidentified pair apparently had a list of Connecticut transmitter sites in   
   their vehicle.  It says that the suspects would scout out potential sites to   
   hit on holidays.  They were caught on video on Christmas Eve while   
   purportedly doing reconnaissance at two transmitter sites in the state.  (RW,

   STRANGE TECHNOLOGY:  APPLIANCES BECOME SPAMBOTS   
      
   Possibly the first proven cyber attack to originate from connected smart   
   appliances occurred between December 23rd and January 6th.  This according to   
   the e-mail security compamy Proofpoint which says that the scam involved some   
   750,000 e-mails from more than 100,000 appliances that had been commandeered   
   by so called thingbots.  These are robotic programs that can be remotely   
   installed on digital devices.   
      
   Proofpoint noted that connected appliances typically aren't protected by   
   anti-spam or anti-virus software.  Nor are they routinely monitored for   
   security breaches.  As such they didn't require sophisticated hacks but the   
   mere use of default passwords was enough to make them vulnerable.

   It is hosted by QST Magazine's Managing Editor Becky Schoenfeld, W1BXY, whose   
   on screen presence rivals that of some of the very best network news talent.   
      
   The story line itself is simple.  It plays out as a timeline in the history   
   of the League from its earliest days right up to the present.  Along the way   
   you will learn some interesting facts that few know about.  This includes the   
   methods used by ARRL founder's Hyrum Percy Maxim, 1AW, and Clarence Tuska,   
   1WD, to insure the survival of ham radio after World War One when the Navy   
   Department decided to hold onto control of all radio following the end of   
   hostilities.  That tid-bit alone make this video well worth viewing.

   HAM RADIO IN SPACE:  SOUTH AFRICA AMSAT INVITES SCHOOLS TO PARTICIPATE IN   
   NEW HAMSAT   
      
   The South African Amateur Radio Satellite Association is inviting schools   
   and universities in that nation to submit proposals for an education project   
   for inclusion in their CubeSat satellite currently being developed.  The   
   satellite will carry a telemetry beacon which report on the health of the   
   tiny bird and provide opportunities for school students to acquire more   
   knowledge about space.   
      
   Satellites planners want to extend the learning experience by including a   
   student built project in the flight.  As such they are now accepting   
   proposals for a project from South Africa high schools and universities.   
      
   The project needs to be small enough to fit in with the rest of the   
   equipment of the 10x10x10 cm CubeSat and draw as little as power as possible.   
   The criteria for judging includes originality and once operating from space   
   the estimated level of interest it is likely to draw among young people.  The   
   most interesting proposal received will be considered for inclusion in the   
   satellite.   
      
   Proposals from South Africa schools should be documented as completely as   
   possible and be emailed to saamsat (at) intekom (dot) co (dot) za.  The   
   closing date for proposals to be received is this coming February 28th.  (SA

   THAT FINAL ITEM:  RADIO AND THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE MAKE POSSIBLE WEATHER   
   FORECAST FOR ALIEN PLANET   
      
   And finally this week, radio communications and an orbiting telescope have   
   made it possible for astronomers to provide a kind of weather forecast for an   
   alien planet.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Cheryl Lasik, K9B-IK, is here with   
   the details:   
      
   --   
      
   Astronomers from the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the   
   University of Chicago have actually been able to characterize the atmosphere   
   of an Earth class planet orbiting another star.  The team of researchers led   
   by Laura Kreidberg and Jacob Bean detected clear evidence of clouds in the   
   atmosphere of planet GJ1214b from data collected with the Hubble Space   
   Telescope and radioed back to Earth.   
      
   The Hubble observations used 96 hours of telescope time spread over 11   
   months.  This was the largest Hubble program ever devoted to studying a   
   single exoplanet. The researchers describe their work as an important   
   milestone on the road to identifying potentially habitable, earth-like   
   planets beyond our solar system.   
      
   The scrutinized exoplanet is called a super-earth or water world because its   
   mass is intermediate between those of Earth and Neptune.  It was found   
   orbiting a red dwarf star some 40 light-years from Earth.   
      
   An exoplanet, or extra solar planet, is a world outside the Solar System.    
   To date, over a thousand such planets have been found.

   Chicago in Zion, Illinois.
