   RADIO LAW:  ARRL WORKS WITH CONGRESS TO INTRODUCE BILL TO ECTEND PRB-1 TO   
   INCLUDE CCR'S   
      
   The ARRL reports that a bill with bipartisan support has been introduced in   
   the US House of Representatives.  One that calls on the FCC to apply the   
   reasonable accommodation three-part test of the PRB-1 federal pre-emption   
   policy to private land-use restrictions.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Bruce   
   Tennant, K6PZW, reports:   
      
   --   
      
   The Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2014 also known as HR.4969 was introduced on   
   June 25th at the request of the American Radio Relay League which worked with   
   House of Representative staffers to draft the proposed legislation. The   
   bill's sponsor is Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and it has   
   initial co-sponsorship from Representative Joe Courtney of Connecticut.    
      
   If the measure is approved by the 113th Congress, it would require the FCC,   
   within 120 days of the bill's passage, to amend the Part 97 Amateur Service   
   rules to apply PRB-1 coverage to include homeowners' association regulations   
   and deed restrictions.  These are often referred to as covenants, conditions,   
   and restrictions and presently PRB-1 only applies to state and local zoning   
   laws and ordinances.   
      
   HR.4969 has been referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.    
   Representative Greg Walden, W-7-E-Q-eye of Oregon chairs that panel's   
   Communications and Technology Subcommittee, which will consider the measure.   
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, in Los Angeles.   
      
   --   
      
   ARRL Hudson Division Director Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, is a principal advocate   
   for the current legislative initiative to gain PRB-1 recognition for CC&Rs.     
   Lisenco said the most urgent task now is to get additional co-sponsors to   
   sign onto HR.4969.  (ARRL)

   RADIOSPORTS:  WORLD TEAM RADIOSPORT CHAMPIONSHIP JULY 12 - 13    
      
   The World Radiosport Team Championship 2014 operating event will take place   
   on Saturday, July 12th beginning at 1200 UTC and concluding Sunday the 13th   
   at 1200 hours UTC.     
      
   WRTC2014 pits fifty-nine two-operator amateur radio teams, representing 32   
   countries, in a battle of operating skill and strategy from identical   
   locations and using identical antenna systems.   
      
   Competing teams were selected from 29 qualifying regions around the world   
   based on scores in a series of 55 qualifying events over a 3 year period.    
   The team with the best score during the 24 hour operating competition will   
   claim the gold medal and earn the distinction of being the best in the world.   
      
   Live video streaming of some of the social events surrounding WRTC2014 will   
   begin on Wednesday July 9th.  These include the welcoming BBQ Dinner, the   
   opening ceremony as well as the closing ceremony.     
      
   The World Radiosport Team Championship is held every four years.  This   
   year's venue is in and around the city of Westborough, Massachusetts.    
   Previous events have been held in Seattle, San Francisco, Slovenia, Finland,

   RADIO RECORDS:  BRENDAN TROPHY ATTEMPT ABOUT TO GET UNDERWAY   
      
   The Irish Radio Transmitters Society's Brendan Trophy for the first two-way   
   transatlantic amateur communication on 2 meters has gone unclaimed for years   
   but that could change within the coming days.  This with the announcement of   
   a highly determined attempt that is about to get underway by the Brendan   
   Quest team operating from Pouch Cove, Newfoundland.    
      
   Using 750 watts of power to a 98 foot long 43-element Yagi at some 25 feet   
   above average terrain, the VC1T team hopes to achieve transatlantic   
   communication first on 2 meters which remains one of the few remaining VHF   
   amateur radio distance records.  The two stations involved must be located on   
   land or non-tidal waterways within the continental shelves of Europe and   
   North America.  The limit of the continental shelf of Europe is considered to   
   lie along the line of maximum depth between the European land mass and   
   Iceland,.  That of North America is defined to lie along the line of maximum   
   depth between Canada and Greenland.   
      
   A detailed operating schedule has now been released along with the procedure   
   and a description of the modes that will be used.  Modes include CW, SSB and   
   WSJT.  The latter being for digital attempts.  All the needed information   
   including a full description of the monster antenna being used can be found   
   on-line at brendanquest.org.  (GB2RS, SARL, others)

   RADIO LAW:  COCONINO COUNTY AZ AMMENDS CONTRIVERSIAL DIRSTRACTED DRIVING LAW   
      
   A big win for amateur radio and other two way radio services in Coconino   
   Country Arizona.  This as the County Board of Supervisors reverses itself on   
   a number off key elements in what had become one of the nation's most   
   controversial distracted driving laws.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Bill   
   Pasternak, is in the Newsroom with the details:   
      
   --   
      
   On June 26th the Coconino County Arizona Board of Supervisors approved   
   changes to ordinance regulating the use of communication devices while   
   driving.  Before the changes were approved, anyone caught with a hand-held   
   push to talk microphone while their vehicle was in motion and they were   
   behind the steering wheel was subject to be issued a citation.     
      
   Among several new exemptions is one that applies to those who holds a valid   
   amateur radio operator license issued by or any license issued by the Federal   
   Communications Commission or the driver who uses two-way radio such as a CB.     
      
   Matt Ryan is the Coconino Board Chairman.  He stated that the Board and   
   other county officials remain dedicated to enhancing public safety by   
   reducing injuries and fatal crashes on our roadways.  However, it was brought   
   to their attention that the originally approved ordinance created hardships   
   for specific segments of drivers, such as truckers, amateur radio operators   
   and bus drivers.    
      
   Ryan added that while the overall goal is to curb distracted driving, that   
   the Board still feels the ordinance as revised does exactly that.   
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, in the newsroom   
   in Los Angeles.   
      
   --   
      
   For the purpose of informing and educating the public and motorists, the   
   ordinance allows for law enforcement officers to issue verbal warnings to   
   persons found violating the terms of the revised ordinance through November   
   22nd.  Law enforcement officers will then have discretion on whether or not   
   to issue a citation.  (K5KNM, others)

   ENFORCEMENT:  FCC DISMISSES LONG STANDING LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION OF   
   K1MAN   
      
   After being on-hold for more than 9 years, the FCC has dismissed the license   
   renewal application of Glen Baxter, K1MAN, of Bellgrade Lake, Maine.  This   
   because he failed to pay a long standing $10,000 fine issued against him by   
   the regulatory agency.   
      
   In its letter notifying Baxter of this action, the FCC stated that his   
   application could not be processed because it was red lighted by the FCC's   
   Universal Licensing System.  It went on to note that the Red Light Rule was   
   adopted as part of the Federal Communication Commission's ongoing effort to   
   implement the Debt Collection Improvement Act.  This law provides that the   
   Commission check whether entities or individuals seeking licenses or other   
   benefits from the FCC are delinquent in debt owed to the Commission.   
      
   The FCC added that anyone filing an application or seeking a benefit that is   
   found to be delinquent in debt owed to the FCC and who fails to pay the debt   
   in full or make other satisfactory arrangements in a timely manner will have   
   their application dismissed.  Because Baxter had failed to resolve this   
   matter according to those rules that his application was being dismissed.

   COMMUNICATIONS LAW:  CONGRESS WEIGHS IN ON NET NEUTRALITY   
      
   The concept of Net Neutrality appears to be hitting home with the nations   
   law makers as we hear from Amateur Radio Newsline's Hal Rodgers, K8CMD:   
      
   --   
      
   Congress is weighing in on the issue of Net Neutrality.  On June 17th   
   Senator Patrick Leahy and Representative Doris Matsui introduced the Online   
   Competition and Consumer Choice Act.  If passed into law, the measure would   
   grant the Federal Communications Commission the authority to bar paid   
   prioritization agreements between internet service providers and content   
   providers over the last-mile of a broadband connection.   
      
   As written, broadband provider would not be allowed to speed up one service   
   at the expense of any other.  Nor would providers be permitted to charge   
   extra fees to particular content providers. Internet Service Providers would   
   also be barred from prioritizing their own services or devices over   
   competitors.   
      
   The legislative maneuver appears designed to try and supersede the FCC's   
   current regulatory efforts to seek public comment on a proposal to bar   
   internet actions that it might deem to be commercially unreasonable   
   violations of the principle of network neutrality.  The Online Competition   
   and Consumer Choice Act has already garnered support from net neutrality   
   advocates.     
      
   Im Hal Rogers, K8CMD.   
      
   --   
      
   How far this measure will get in Congress will depend on the amount of   
   cooperation that can be generated between Republicans and Democrats over this   
   issue.  Net Neutrality is an important issue in the ham radio community   
   because more and more aspects of the hobby such as station remote control and   
   satellite tracking rely on unencumbered high speed Internet connectivity.

   EMERGING TECHNOLOGY:  MONARCH BUTTERFLY HAS MAGNETIC COMPASS   
      
   Researchers now say that the monarch butterfly uses a magnetic compass to   
   guide its extraordinary migration thousands of miles across North America.   
      
   Monarchs are believed to possess a form of Sun compass but even on cloudy   
   days they still keep flying south towards Mexico.  To test for the theory   
   that they also possessed a form of magnetic compass scientists strapped   
   butterflies into a flight simulator allowing them to point in any direction   
   while flying.  They then surrounded the chamber with a magnetic coil and then   
   varied the inclination angle of the field while at the same time exposing   
   them to ultra-violet light.  This in essence effectively changed the position   
   of the equator and the poles.  The monarchs responded by turning in the   
   direction they perceived as south.

   EMERGING TECHNOLOGY:  NEW STUDY SHOWS THAT QUANTUM PARTICLES CAN TUNNEL   
   THROUGH MULTIPLE BARRIERS   
      
   According to the new study, quantum particles have been found capable of   
   tunneling through multiple long range barriers.  This is a phenomenon that is   
   known as quantum tunnel effect.    
      
   Formerly, this procedure was for one particle to pass through one barrier.    
   However the latest study was conducted by a team of researchers at the   
   Institute for Experimental Physics in Austria showed the tunneling of quantum   
   particles through five consecutive barriers simultaneously is possible with   
   the help of an effect known as Bose enhancement.  Bose enhancement is a   
   phenomenon that effects in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.   
      
   How the study was performed and its findings to date were published in a   
   recent issue of the journal Science.  More is on the web at

   WORLDBEAT:  UK CB OPERATOR LUCKLY AVOIDS BEING HIT BY LIGHTNING STRIKE TO   
   HIS STATION   
      
   Turning to news from around the world, word that a United Kingdom CB radio   
   enthusiast was likely moments away from being electrocuted when a lightning   
   bolt hit his antenna and blew up his station equipment.     
      
   According to the news account Robin Tester had just used his radio to warn a   
   friend of an impending storm.  He then turned off his gear and within moments   
   the lightning bolt struck the antenna located in his garden only some 6 feet   
   away from his home.   
      
   According to Tester, the lightning strike destroyed his radio, the   
   microphone and parts of the antenna.  He noted that he did have a good   
   lightning arrester connected between the radio and the antenna but that was   
   destroyed as well.   
      
   According to Tester, the only saving grace was the fact that the antenna   
   lead in travels underground so it was able to ground out some of the strike.    
   Tester added that had it not been, it would have been worse.  (HuntsPost.com)

   THAT FINAL ITEM:  MORSE RETURNS TO WW2 SECRET BASE DOWN-UNDER   
      
   And finally this week, 7 News Australia reports a secret World War 2 base in   
   northern Victoria state, that has resumed Morse code radio communication with   
   the world after more than 70 silent years.  Graham Kemp, VK4BB, of the WIA   
   News has the details:   
      
   --    
      
   The restored Flying Boat Museum at Lake Boga near Swan Hill in northwest   
   Victoria was the home of the No. 1 Flying Boat Repair Depot during World  War   
   II.    
      
   Now a Lions Club project it's a fitting memorial to the 1,000 who made a    
   sterling contribution at the repair and radio base that kept the Catalina    
   Aircraft serving.   
      
   Hidden from aerial view with bomb-proof walls is a Communications Bunker.    
   It has been restored and put on air by Thomas Brownstein VK3EO, complete    
   with war-time receivers and smaller transmitters.   
      
   The latest media coverage of the Flying Boat Museum has been on the Channel    
   7 network news that featured a radio amateur and his realized efforts to  put   
   it back on air.   
      
   Thomas VK3EO was interviewed while on the key in contact with the former    
   enemy - a QSO with a JA station near Tokyo. Among his other CW contacts he    
   has spoken to Europe, America and New Zealand.   
      
   Dropping in at the time of the recent TV news interview was Jean Willox, a   
   war-time radio operator who tried the key for the first time since the  war,   
   and described it really amazing.   
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Graham Keemp, VK4BB, of the WIA News in   
   Australia.   
      
   --   
      
   Thomas Brownstein, VK3EO, also teaches youngsters about Morse code and what   
   went on in secrecy during World War 2.  He described the whole experience as   
   being a little like magic.  WIA News)
