   RESCUE RADIO:  FEMA AND ARRL ANNOUNCE NEW COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT   
      
   The ARRL and the Federal Emergency Management Agency have announced a new   
   Memorandum of Agreement.  One that is destined to enhance cooperation between   
   the League and FEMA in the area of disaster communication.  Bill Pasternak,   
   WA6ITF, is in the Newsroom with the details:   
      
   --   
      
   Calling radio is one of the most resilient communications technologies we   
   have, FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate, KK4INZ, penned his name to a   
   Memorandum of Agreement with the American Radio Relay League.  This to   
   further mutual cooperation in times of disaster and preparing for such   
   emergencies.   
      
   The new agreement will allow FEMA and the ARRL to work together to provide   
   resources, services and personnel to fortify the relief agency's capacity in   
   certain areas.  These include emergency communications, disaster preparedness   
   along with response and recovery assistance.  It will also task the two with   
   jointly raising public awareness about the use of Amateur Radio as a public   
   safety resource.     
      
   The agreement also outlines the ways in which the two organizations will   
   cooperate to carry out their individual responsibilities with respect to   
   disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery operations.  This,   
   in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.   
      
   The signing ceremony took place on July 18th at the ARRL's Centenary   
   Convention in Hartford, Connecticut, with League President Kay Craigie, N3KN,   
   signing the document for the League.  This agreement takes the United States   
   Amateur Radio service yet another step forward in becoming a vital   
   communications resource when disaster strikes and especially in those   
   instances when all other means of communications fail.     
      
   And to quote FEMA Administrator Fugate: "Amateur Radio is taking that hobby   
   and turning it into saving lives."   
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, in Los Angeles.   
      
   --   
      
   After FEMA Administrator Fugate's talk, League President Craigie presented   
   him with the ARRL Medal of Honor.  (ARRL)

   SPECTRUM SHARING:  144 MHZ CHANNELS TO BE USED FOR THE UK COMMONWEALTH GAMES   
      
   The Radio Society of Great Britain says that that four 25 kHz bandwidth   
   channels in the 2 meter band between 144.0 and 144.1 MHz are being used at   
   the Commonwealth Games that began on July 22nd and will conclude on August   
   4th.  This following negotiations between the United Kingdom's national   
   amateur radio society and telecommunications Ofcom.   
      
   Usage of this spectrum by the Commonwealth Games will be limited the   
   vicinity of Glasgow, Scotland games venues and will be limited to handheld   
   equipment operating on a maximum of 5 watts of Effective Radiated Power.    
   Ofcom emphasizes that use of Primary Amateur spectrum is only for the   
   specified time period and does not constitute a long term change of usage.   
      
   In making the announcement, Ofcom said that it was aware of the very short   
   notice to the United Kingdom's ham radio community.  Therefore the   
   authorization for use of this spectrum is on a non-interference,   
   non-protection basis.  That said, hams in the Glasgow area are requested to   
   avoid these frequencies until 4th August.  (RSGB, Ofcom, Southgate)

   RADIO RULES:  IRELANDS COMREG 5 YEAR AMATEUR RADIO LICENSE NOTIFICATION   
   PROCESS WILL REQUIRE E-MAIL   
      
   In June 2009, Ireland's telecommunications regulator ComReg, introduced a   
   new Amateur Station Licensing system. Under those rules station licenses are   
   granted for the lifetime of the licensee with a condition that he or she   
   check in with ComReg every five years to confirm whether the details of the   
   license are correct.  Now, ComReg has begun notifying licensees who have held   
   their ham tickets for 5 years that their license detail confirmation is   
   required and informing them how to comply with this license condition.     
      
   Correspondence to hams will be issued approximately 2 months before the   
   anniversary of the of the license issue date.  Those with a registered e-mail   
   address will be notified that way while hams who have no registered e-mail   
   will get theirs by postal mail.     
      
   The notifications will provide detailed instructions to each license holder   
   on how to make their returns which must be done via ComReg's e-licensing   
   website.  As such this will require all hams in Ireland to gain web access to   
   provide ComReg with a valid e-mail address.  (IRTS)

   HAM RADIO NEAR SPACE:  VK HAM RADIO FLOATER BALLOON REACHES BRAZIL    
      
   A small Australian high-altitude floater balloon signing the call VK3YT-8   
   reached South America and is now believed headed further east.  Amateur Radio   
   Newsline's Stephan Kinford, N8WB, reports:   
      
   --   
      
   The pico balloon was the idea of Andy Nguyen, VK3YT.  Along with his support   
   team, VK3YT launched the tiny balloon carrying amateur radio tracking gear   
   from central Victoria state in Australia on Sunday, July 13th.     
      
   The balloon traveled eastward across the Pacific Ocean eventually reaching   
   the South American coastline.  It did not land, but continued its trek East.    
   According to its last copied APRS data it appeared to be at an altitude of   
   about 29,000 feet and some 50 miles north of Brasilia.     
      
   The belief is that the floater balloon left the Brazilian coastal line on   
   the morning July 22nd and is continuing to fly eastward.  Where it will   
   finally come to rest is at this time unknown but some low-altitude floater   
   balloons have been shown to have an almost unlimited range.   
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephen Kinford, N8WB, reporting.   
      
   --   
      
   Floater balloons are usually those silverized party balloons that hams equip   
   with micropower APRS beacons that are either battery or solar powered.  Those   
   interested in this project can get the latest information by putting the call   
   VK3YT-8 into the APRS.FI tracking website.  (VK3PC)

   ENFORCEMENT:  FCC ISSUES TWO PROPOSED FINES FOR ALLEGED 20 METER INTERFERENCE   
      
   Two hams have been issued of Notices of Apparent Liability to Monetary   
   Forfeiture.  This, for alleged interference to other amateur service   
   communications in the 20 meter band.     
      
   On July 22nd the FCC notified Michael Guernsey, KZ8O, of Parchment,   
   Michigan, that it was proposing to fine him $22,000 after agents monitored   
   transmissions from his station for approximately 40 minutes on March 7, 2014.   
   During that time the FCC says that the agents heard him transmit a   
   pre-recorded song and other noises on the frequency of 14.313 MHz which   
   interfered with the communications of other radio amateurs.   
      
   Also on July 22nd the regulatory agency issued an $11,500 Notice of Apparent   
   Liability to Brian Crow, K3VR, of North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania.  In this   
   case the FCC says that this past March 14th that its agents spent three hours   
   monitoring transmissions purportedly emanating from K3VR's station.  At that   
   time the agents claim to have heard the station transmit slow-scan television   
   signals as well as a recorded voice transmission of another amateur station.     
      
   KZ8O and K3VR were each given the customary 30 days from the date the   
   Notices of Apparent Liability were issued to pay the proposed fines or to   
   file written statements seeking reduction or cancellation of the forfeitures.   
      
      
   In both cases the FCC says that its agents used radio direction-finding   
   techniques to locate the sources of the transmissions.  (FCC)

   EMERGING TECHNOLOGY:  RING IN DEVELOPMENT AT MIT WILL HELP THE BLIND TO READ   
      
   When we think of communications usually the words radio or broadband tend to   
   come into our mind.  But for those who are blind, getting access to the   
   printed word makes communications take on a more far reaching meaning.    
   Amateur Radio Newsline's Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, has the details of a new   
   development that holds a lot of promise in this area:   
      
   --   
      
   Over the years several devices have been devised to assist the blind to read   
   text.  The problem is that most have been fairly large or they require some   
   form of scanner coupled to a computer.  Now comes word of a totally new and   
   wearable unit developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media   
   Lab promises far more flexibility to those who cannot see.   
      
   The device, which is still in its prototype stage, is being called the   
   Finger Reader.  A tiny camera at the tip of the wearers' finger converts text   
   into audio.  The ring scanner also has the ability to track when the user's   
   finger goes off the line of text with alert that vibrates the ring.   
      
   A market-ready version of the Finger Reader is still quite some time off,   
   and there is no price point set on it yet.  But the researchers believe it   
   could be made available at a reasonable cost to consumers when it does   
   eventually go on sale.

   THAT FINAL ITEM:  LARGEST COLLINS RADIO AM SHORTWAVE TRANSMITTER SAVED FROM   
   EXTINCTION   
      
   And finally this week, a historic radio transmitter has been saved from the   
   scrap-heap thanks to three organizations who worked diligently to preserve   
   it.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Skeeter Nash, N5ASH, has the story with a happy   
   ending:   
      
   --   
      
   The announced transfer of the Voice of America broadcasting station in   
   Delano California to the General Services Administration for disposal had   
   potentially sealed the fate of the last compete Collins Model 821A-1 250,000   
   watt High Frequency Autotune transmitters in the world.   
      
   Meantime the Collins Collectors Association and the Antique Wireless   
   Association had formalized an alliance named the Collins Radio Heritage   
   Group.  Hearing of the potential loss of the transmitter the latter working   
   in cooperation with members of the Arthur A. Collins Legacy Association began   
   campaigning to save some of the significant historical artifacts related to   
   the Delano Voice of America transmitter site.   
      
   In December of 2013 a proposal was submitted to the Voice of America and the   
   Government Services Administration to recover, preserve and display the   
   transmitter and the studio control console from the Delano site.  This past   
   May the proposal was approved and recovery began.   The effort was recently   
   completed with the transmitter, studio board and other associated remote gear   
   being removed and shipped to the Antique Wireless Association Museum in   
   Bloomfield New York where they will be displayed.     
      
   Im Skeetrer Nash, N5ASH,   
      
   --   
      
   A future vision of the groups involved in saving the transmitter include   
   coordinated displays in both Bloomfield, New York and Cedar Rapids, Iowa,   
   with live streaming video and audio connecting both locations.
