   RESCUE RADIO:  HAMS IN HAWAII RESPOND TO TROPICAL STORM ISELLE   
      
   Hams in Hawaii were once again ready as Tropical Storm Iselle made landfall   
   on the Big Island on Friday, August 8th.  Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, is in the   
   newsroom with the details of how radio amateurs on the Island State were   
   ready for this severe weather event:   
      
   --   
      
   As soon as hams on Hawaii were informed that Hurricane Iselle was headed   
   toward them, preparations for its arrival began:   
      
   --   
      
   AH6RH: "We figured that there would be landfall in about 10 days, so we   
   already began to put out the word and the preparation.  The baseline plan was   
   to run our communications over a common channel on VHF and UHF.  We have a   
   statewide repeater system for that.  So the National Weather Service and   
   SKYWARN people would take the lead and state Civil Defense and county Civil   
   Defense in case there was storm damage on any particular island."   
      
   --   
      
   That's Ron Hashiro, AH6RH, who serves as both Hawaii State RACES coordinator   
   and Emergency Coordinator for ARES.  He tells Amateur Radio Newsline that   
   everything was in readiness when Iselle made its closest approach:   
      
   --   
      
   AH6RH:  "As the storm approached the Big Island it approached as a category   
   1  Hurricane and then just off shore it fizzled out a little bit to a very,   
   very high end tropical storm.  It hung off shore for 5 1/2 hours and in the   
   process the brutal winds and the punishing rains ground down on the   
   South-East coast of the Big Island and they took quite a beating over there."   
      
   --   
      
   As a result of the storm, some 21,900 residents were without electric power.   
   And landline and cellular service was down in some area.  But ham radio kept   
   the emergency responders in communications with one another:   
      
   --   
      
   AH6RH:  "The governor had previously declared an emergency.  With that   
   declaration we were able to activate our repeater on the top of Mauna Kea.    
   That single repeater covered about 2/3 of the island and provided   
   communications for a lot of the people.   
      
   "The county brought up their volunteers.  Many of them are CERT members and   
   a lot are amateur radio operators and they used that repeater to keep in   
   touch.   
      
   --   
      
   It took about 10 days for things to settle back to normal with all power and   
   telephone service restored as we go to air.  Hashiro says a lot of the   
   success of the ham radio response is that all hams who work as emergency   
   responders do so together for a common goal:   
      
   --   
      
   AH6RH: " We all work cooperatively together.  We do not make a strong   
   distinction between SKYWARN, ARES or RACES.  We all work together and very   
   often it's the same leaders who are serving in different capacities at   
   different times.     
      
   "But we do want to stress interoperability between all amateur radio groups.   
   Because Hawaii being the most populated area in the most remote part of the   
   world, should anything adverse happen we all have to rely on each other.  We   
   all have to back each other up and amateur radio is a big component of that   
   plan."   
      
   --   
      
   AH6RH adds that he wants to give a lot of credit for this well planned   
   response to Paul Agamata, WH6FM, who organized the amateur radio response on   
   Hawaii's Big Island.  Hashiro says that it was because of WH6FM, that the Big   
   Island was prepared for the arrival of Tropical Storm Iselle and for the   
   area's recovery.   
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, in Los Angeles.   
      
   --   
      
   All in all, a job well done by a group of radio amateurs who are always   
   ready to expect the unexpected.  (ARNewsline)

   RESCUE RADIO:  GAREC 2014 LOOKS AT RESCUE RADIO   
      
   The recent Global Amateur Radio Emergency Communication conference, or GAREC   
   2014 held in Huntsville Alabama held just prior to the Huntsville Hamfest   
   shared many informative presentations, videos and discussions on recent   
   experiences plus some media interest.  This while looking at the future of   
   ham radio emergency communications worldwide.   
      
   GAREC 2014 was hosted by ARRL Alabama Section and the Huntsville Hamfest and   
   was attended by delegates from all three International Amateur Radio Union   
   regions.  Organizer Greg Sarratt, W4OZK, said that besides routine items such   
   as IARU regional reports that presentations were received on many topics.    
   These included Emergency Communications as an element of promoting Amateur   
   Radio along with the Salvation Army's SATERN program and digital modes and   
   remote control operation.  Other presentations included the United States   
   Defense Department use of the Military Affiliate Radio Service for   
   Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief, and a combined Emergency   
   Services Dispatch Centre providing interoperable communications.   
      
   During the conference a number of themes began to emerge.  These included   
   the importance of meaningful conversations with served agencies to ensure   
   that their communications needs are met.  Another was to focus attention on   
   Amateur Radio as a trusted partner in emergency response in all phases of the   
   communications life cycle.  Also topic taken under advisement was use of   
   social media as way to send near real-time information on an event.  This as   
   long as doing so does not compromise amateur radio's relationships with   
   served agencies.   
      
   All presentations will soon appear on line at www.w4ozk.com/GAREC14.htm.    
   The next and 10th GAREC will be in Tampere, Finland in June of 2015.  (VK3PC,

   RESCUE RADIO:  HAM RADIO EMCOMM MESSAGE FROM GOUGH ISLAND    
      
   It was ham radio to the rescue on when an important message from remote   
   Gough Island to the South Africa's Department of Environmental Affairs could   
   not be sent as the normal lines of communications were down.  Amateur Radio   
   Newsline's Stephan Kinford, N8WB, is here with the details:   
      
   --   
      
   The story really began this past February when  Pierre Tromp, ZS1HF,   
   volunteered to go to Gough Island after a member of the Gough Team had passed   
   away on the island.  Tromp was then transported to Gough Island where he was   
   assigned the call sign ZD9M.     
      
   Over the weekend of August 9th, a serious incident occurred on the island.   
   As the Satellite Phone connection to the African continent had been poor   
   since the first week of August, ZD9M decided to use ham radio to contact   
   Trevor Brinch, ZS1TR for relay of the information back to Cape Town.    
      
   While the text was not made public, the message contained 836 words and was   
   sent a few at a time and repeated back for confirmation.  The entire process   
   took about 1 hour 45 minutes to transfer via High Frequency radio.  During   
   this time the two stations were forced to alternate between 20 and 30 meters   
   as conditions were fading in and out on both bands.  After confirmation of   
   the content of the message it was retyped into e-mail format and successfully   
   sent to the listed recipients.   
      
   Another example of amateur radio being able to get the message delivered   
   when all others methods fail.   
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephen Kinfod, N8WB, reporting.   
      
      
   --   
      
   Gough Island is located in the South Atlantic Ocean and is uninhabited   
   except for the personnel of a weather station which the South African   
   National Antarctic Program has maintained continually since 1956. That makes   
   it one of the most remote places on Earth with a constant human presence.

   HAM RADIO IN SPACE:  CHASQUI-1 HAM RADIO RESEARCH CUBESAT DEPLOYED FROM ISS   
      
   The Chasqui-1 amateur radio satellite has been successfully deployed from   
   the International Space Station during a space-walk by two Russian Cosmonauts   
   .      
      
   ,At 14:00 UTC on August 18th Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev opened   
   the hatch of the docking module to start their space walk or EVA.  The tiny   
   satellite was successfully deployed by Artemyev about 23 minutes later.   
      
   Chasqui-1 is a research satellite designed to standard CubeSat dimension by   
   the Peruvian National University of Engineering in collaboration with the   
   Southwestern State University in Kursk.  Experiments on-board include a   
   cameras that visible light and another that detects only infra-red.    
      
   The tiny bird carries a beacon on 437.025 MHz that can transmit either 1200   
   bit per second Audio Frequency Shift keying using AX.25 protocol or 9600 bits   
   per second Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying better known as GMSK.  (AMSAT UK)

   ENFORCEMENT:  FCC ORDERS PAYMENT OF $15,000 NAL    
      
   The FCC has turned down a Petition for Reconsideration of a $15,000 Notice   
   of Apparent Liability filed by Walter Olenick and M. Rae Nadler-Olenick of   
   Austin Texas.  This, in regard to an unlicensed broadcast station that agents   
   of the Enforcement Bureau had previously traced to their residence.  Amateur   
   Radio Newsline's Skeeter Nash, N5ASH, has this latest follow-up report:   
      
   --   
      
   This story goes back to August 12, 2013 when an agent from the FCC's   
   Enforcement Bureau's Houston Office used direction-finding to locate the   
   source of a radio signal on 90.1 MHz to an antenna atop a tower mounted to   
   the side of an apartment building in the city of Austin.   Ownership of both   
   the building and tower were traced to Walter Olenick and M. Rae   
   Nadler-Olenick at that address.   
      
   On September 6, 2013, the Houston Office issued Mr. and Mrs. Olenick a   
   warning letter, which advised them that the operation of an unlicensed radio   
   station from their property violated the Communications Act.     
      
   In their reply, the Olenick's did not deny that they owned the apartment   
   building and operated the unlicensed radio station from it.  Rather they   
   stated that the FCC agent did not have permission or consent to enter the   
   premises.     
      
   They also stated that because they had no commercial nexus with the   
   Commission, they did not consent, directly or by any implication, to the   
   Commission's policies, procedures, or jurisdiction.  They also implied that   
   they do not consider themselves subject to the laws of the United States and   
   stated they expect any future communications to come from the International   
   Bureau only after a treaty to which they are "signators" is signed.   
      
   But in its findings the FCC noted that it has every right to observe from   
   common grounds and that it also had the authority to regulate radio   
   transmissions within the state of Texas.  With that it gave the Olnicks the   
   customary 30 days from the February 19th issuance of the proposed $15,000   
   fine to pay or to file an appeal.   
      
   This past June 3rd the FCC affirmed the previously issued Notice of Apparent   
   Liability.  In doing so the FCC said that Section 301 of the Communications   
   Act explicitly sets forth the   
   Commission's jurisdiction over all radio transmissions, both interstate and   
   intrastate.  At that time the Olenick's were again given the 30 days from the   
   release of the order affirming the fine to pay it or to file any form of   
   appeal which they apparently did.  On August 19th in a Memorandum, Opinion   
   and Order the FCC denied the Olenick's Petition for Reconsideration.     
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Skeeter Nash, N5ASH, in Victoria, Texas.   
      
   --   
      
   The Olnicks' were again told that payment is due within 30 calendar days   
   after the release date of the Memorandum Opinion and Order.  Whether or not   
   the Olnicks' will continue the appeals process or possibly take the matter   
   into the Federal court system is unknown as we go to air.  (FCC)

   RADIO LAW:  UN-NARROWBANDING WAIVER REQUEST DENIED BY FCC   
      
   The FCC has denied a June 19, 2013 request from Del Norte County, California   
   that it be permitted to un-narrowband its radio system back to its 25 kHz   
   channels.     
      
   In its filing, the County had claimed that its narrowband system had reduced   
   critical coverage by 40 percent.  Also that three to five additional towers   
   would be needed to restore it to its capability.  Noting that the County had   
   only 30,000 people and no spectrum congestion, it asked to be permitted to   
   return to wideband operation.     
      
   But in declining the request the FCC noted that among other reasons, that   
   the county would eventually experience a less reliable system.  Also that the   
   wider-bandwidth equipment would become obsolete.  (LMR Radio Group, WA6ILQ)

   HAM HAPPENINGS:  WORLD DATV PARTY TO PROCEED DESPITE SOFTWARE ISSUES   
      
   Despite software issues the World Digital A-T-V Party will go ahead as   
   scheduled.     
      
   While most activity in this global event is based around Amateur Radio ATV   
   frequencies, the Internet-based Skype connection service is used for   
   Interstate and International connections.  However Skype is currently   
   grandfathering out older versions of its software and the new version do not   
   support import video from USB Dongles such as EzCap.  These are the devices   
   used to take the output video as received from the ATV Repeater and send it   
   to the remote anchor station.  Peter Cossins, VK3BFG, appears to have found a   
   temporary work around, but it will be dependant on the administrators of   
   Skype and their timetable.   
      
   Either way, the event will take place on Friday August 29 and Saturday   
   August 30 Melbourne Australia time.  In the United States the W6A-N Amateur   
   Television Network in southern California will be taking part.  Also, the

   HAM HAPPENINGS:  AMATEUR RADIO VILLAGE TO BE AT UK EMF-2014    
      
   AMSAT-UK has announced that there will be an amateur radio village and   
   special event station at the Electromagnetic Field or EMF 2014 event taking   
   place August 29th to the 31st.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Heather Embee,   
   KB3TZD, has the details:   
      
   --   
      
   EMF 2014 is described as a festival for anyone interested in radio,   
   electronics, space, homebrewing, robotics, 3D printing, the Internet culture   
   and pretty much anything else you can think of.  It is a volunteer effort by   
   a non-profit group inspired by European and US maker groups like the Chaos   
   Communication Camp and Toorcamp to name only a few.     
      
   This years' event will take place at Bletchley near Milton Keynes in   
   Buckinghamshire, England.  Attendees are invited to set up their own village   
   or camps within the camp.  That's where like-minded people can gather and put   
   on their own activities.  The EMF team of volunteers will supply power and   
   internet to each tent.   
      
   Ham radio-wise, special event station GB2EMF will be on the air from the   
   Amateur Radio Village but as of now no operating schedule, bands or QSL   
   routing has been made public.  One thing that likely won't happen is a   
   portable cross-band repeater that was to be on the air during the gathering.    
   Unfortunately telecommunications regulator Ofcom's licensing issues may   
   preclude this.  Either way, it appears as if EMF 2014 is going to be a maker,   
   hacker and ham radio good time.

   THAT FINAL ITEM:  RETIREMENT COMMUNITY ADOPTS HAM RADIO   
      
   And finally this week more than a dozen residents of a Redlands, California,   
   retirement community have become amateur radio operators and are working to   
   familiarize themselves with a local disaster relief plan.  This in the event   
   that emergency personnel were unable to reach their Plymouth Valley   
   retirement community should a disaster situation arise.  Amateur Radio   
   Newsline's Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, has more:   
      
   --   
   According to the Redlands Daily Facts on-line newspaper, Keith Kasin, AI6BX,   
   is the Plymouth Village executive director who is leading the group.  In the   
   article Kasin explained Plymouth Village is required to have an emergency   
   response plan as part of its day-to-day operations.  Also that the program   
   provides those involved with a chance to be pro-active.   
      
   The group is made up of Plymouth Village volunteers that meet regularly and   
   also hold practice drills using amateur radio.  Each volunteer is responsible   
   for a portion of the retirement community.  Kasin says that once training and   
   exams are complete, Plymouth Village will see around 30 certified operators   
   working to keep residents safe.   
      
   According to Kasen, Plymouth Village is a 37-acre campus with a population   
   of 300.     
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Cheryl Lasek, K9BIK, reporting.
