   RESCUE RADIO:  MALAYSIA INCLUDES HAM RADIO IN FLOOD PLANNING   
      
   Malaysia is including ham radio in its emergency preparedness for the   
   upcoming monsoon season.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Don Wilbanks, AE5DW, has   
   the details:    
   --   
      
   Malaysia's Ministry of Communications and Multimedia will ensure that all   
   communication towers including those used by radio amateurs will be fully   
   functioning even though they are inundated during the flood season.     
      
   According to the Ministry, several communication towers that were inundated   
   during the flood season last year, especially in the Kemaman area.  To   
   prevent this happening again, many had already been upgraded so that they   
   were located on higher ground and would not be submerged by the rising   
   waters.     
      
   A Ministry spokesperson noted that there are several areas which could not   
   receive normal communication coverage but can be contacted using the amateur   
   radio.  The ministry went on to say that it would cooperate with several   
   amateur radio associations under the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia   
   Commission to assist in terms of information sharing in any flood-affected   
   areas.

   In its statement Malaysia's Ministry of Communications and Multimedia   
   indicated that amateur radio has the ability to provide communications into   
   and out of areas that no other quick response radio service can.  (Benama

   INTERUDER WATCH:  ILLEGAL DEFENFDER TAKES ON RUSSIAN MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS   
      
   An unidentified German amateur station has tried to disturb military   
   transmissions from Russia taking place in the 80 meter band.  Amateur Radio   
   Newsline's Stephan Kinford, N8WB, has what's known so far:   
      
   --     
      
   The action happened on 3 dot 733 MHz on October 22nd at 2000 hours UTC.  The   
   Russian Frequency Shift or FSK transmission is believed to have come from a   
   transmitting site in Kaliningrad.     
      
   A screenshot photograph taken by International Amateur Radio Union   
   Monitoring Service observer Wolfgang Hadel, DK2OM, shows a station trying to   
   insert Morse code dashes on the space breaks of the Russian transmission.  It   
   also shows the interfering station putting out spurious emissions at least 2   
   kilohertz wide.     
      
   According to the Monitoring Service, the same unidentified operator is   
   believed responsible for similar transmissions against Russian based   
   communications in the 40 meter band but this has yet to be proven.     
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephen Kinford, N8WB, reporting.

   EMERGING TECHNOLOGY:  49.9 MHZ RADAR 16 KW WITH 64 ANTENNAS IN ETHOPIA   
      
   A new back-scatter radar on 49.9 MHz is currently being constructed in   
   Ethiopia.  The Bahir Dar coherent backscatter radar is being assembled by   
   researchers from the University of Oulu, Finland and Boston College, here in   
   the United States.   
      
   The new system will operate just below the 6 meter band using a 16 kilowatt   
   solid-state transmitter and 64 antennas.  The return sampling is based on a   
   number of USRPX model 300 high-performance, modular software defined radios.    
   This is a platform developed by Matt Ettus, N2MJI that combine two   
   extended-bandwidth daughterboard slots covering DC to 6 GHz with up to 120   
   MHz bandwidth and multiple high-speed interface options.  (Southgate)

   PROPAGATION:  OLD SUNSPOT RETURNS:  QUIET WITH A CHANCE OF FLARES:    
      
   Old sunspot AR 2192 now renamed AR 2209 has returned to the side of the Sun   
   facing Earth.  As this report is being prepared solar observers say that it   
   still poses a threat for strong flares because the sunspot's magnetic field   
   is unstable and harbors the energy required for X-class eruptions.  If such   
   flare were to occur NOAA estimates a 25% chance it will be likely have a   
   direct effect on High Frequency communications because AR 2209 is almost   
   directly facing Earth.  You can keep an eye on AR 2207 and other solar

   HAM RADIO IN SPACE:  JAPAN ANNOUNCES DEEP SPACE HAM RADIO SATELLITE   
      
   A Japanese news report says the asteroid mission Hayabusa 2, planned to   
   launch before years end on will also carry an amateur radio satellite named   
   Shin'en 2.  The bird will have an elliptic orbit around the Sun and travel to   
   a deep space orbit between Venus and Mars.    
      
   Shin'en 2' inclination will be almost zero, which means that it will stay in   
   the Earth's equatorial plane. The distance from the Sun will be between 0.7   
   and 1.3 Astronomical Units. An Astronomical Unit is described as 149,597,871   
   kilometers.   
      
   Shin'en 2 already has a set of IARU coordinated frequencies.  These are   
   437.505 MHz for its CW beacon and 437.385 MHz to be used for WSJT telemetry.    
   It will also carry a Mode J  inverting SSB and Morse transponder operating   
   with a Lower Sideband uplink between 145.940 to 145.960 MHz and a UHF   
   downlink from 435.280 to 435.260 MHz on Upper Sideband.     
      
   Shin'en 2 is a deep space satellite built by students at Kagoshima   
   University in Japan.  Its primary mission is to establish communication   
   technologies with a long range as far as moon.   (AMSAT, SkyRocket.de),

   DX UP FRONT:  ARNO ISLAND NOV 26 TO DEC 3   
      
   In DX up-front, NL8F says that he will be active as V73TM from Arno Island   
   rather than Majuro Island between November 26th and December 3rd.  The reason   
   for the change is the hotel next to the airport on Majuro now belongs to the   
   Education Ministry and hence the move of the operation to Arno.  During his   
   stay, he plans to operate on 80 through 10 meters using CW, SSB with the   
   possibility of some digital operation.  QSL's go via K8NA as shown on see

   HAM RADIO ON THE SMALL SCREEN:  NBC MAY BRING FREQUENCY TO THE SAMALL SCREEN   
      
   Will the early 2000's motion picture Frequency show up on NBC as a weekly   
   series?  That could happen if the Peacock Network proceeds with plans to   
   bring the big screen thriller to the home screen on a weekly basis.  Bill   
   Pasternak, WA6ITF, who used to work in Hollywood has some insight:   
      
   --   
      
   For those who have never seen it, the movie Frequency is centered on the   
   character John Sullivan played by James Caviezel, a New York City police   
   officer in his mid-30s who is still haunted by the tragic death of his   
   firefighter dad Frank portrayed by Dennis Quaid.  The elder Sullivan had died   
   three decades earlier and that experience has haunted the younger Sullivan's   
   life ever since.    
      
   One night, John locates an old ham radio transceiver that belonged to his   
   father, and begins transmitting.  To his shock, John soon gets a response   
   from his deceased father, thirty years in the past.  The scientific   
   explanation for this is explained that the aurora borealis is taking place   
   overhead has somehow allowed the two men to communicate across time.     
      
   John Sullivan uses the contact to warn his father Frank of his impending   
   death and gives him the information on how to survive.  But changing what   
   happens with time always has its consequences and John Sullivan's changing of   
   past events inadvertently causes consequences with the potential to be worse   
   for all involved.   
      
   Now the industry trade publication the Hollywood Reporter says that NBC is   
   looking to create a television series based on the New Line Cinema thriller.    
   It says that the Peacock Network has already issued a 'script plus penalty'   
   commitment for the series.  The term a script plus penalty means that even if   
   a show is not produced that those involved in its initial creation are still   
   paid a fee, but does not guarantee that a movie or television show actually   
   be brought to production.   
      
   And talking about the development of the Frequency into a television series,   
   its reported that Jeremy Carver is writing the script for Warner Brothers   
   Television and would also be the Executive Producer of the series.   Toby   
   Emmerich who wrote the original movie will be a co-producer.     
      
   As with any show in early development, there are a lot of rumors floating   
   around.  For example, another industry trade on-line newsletter says that   
   there's no word yet on if any of the film's original cast members will return   
   if the Frequency TV series gets a go ahead.  But it also adds that while   
   unlikely that it may not be outside the realm of possibility.

   Radio Newsline.

   It also notes that the show is in its earliest of development stages and   
   there is no planned premiere date.   (nevadahamradio.com, N7UR, Hollywood

   WORLDBEAT:  DMR EXPERIMENTS TAKING PLACE DOWN-UNDER   
      
   Hams down under are doing some interesting experimentation using the Digital   
   Mobile Radio or DMR voice mode.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Jim Meachen,   
   ZL2BHF, has the details:   
      
   --   
      
   On September 7th at 12:45pm local time here in New Zealand, Steve Jepson,   
   ZL2KG, who was situated at the Stratford Plateau car park on the slopes of   
   Mt. Taranaki worked John Yaldwyn, ZL4JY at his home in Waikanae over a   
   distance of over 191.7 km.  This, using the nations 70 Centimeter Digital   
   Mobile Radio simplex frequency on 432.7625 MHz.  A Connect Systems CS700   
   handheld connected to a dual-band mobile antenna was used at Mt. Taranaki and   
   a Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 5550 mobile tied to an 8-element Yagi was used in   
   Waikanae for contact with perfect signals in both direction   
      
   To test the usable range for DMR relay operation, ZL1KG also tried working   
   through the ZL2DMR repeater, which is located on Colonial Knob at a distance   
   of 213 km from his location on Mt. Taranaki.  What was found was that ZL2KG   
   could receive without any problem, however he could not transmit through the   
   machine.  While the repeater was triggered, however a voice QSO could not be   
   made through it. By moving closer to the repeater to the top of Waitotara   
   Hill, which is located 149 km from the ZL2DMR repeater, voice contact was   
   possible and a two-way QSO made.   
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline. I'm Jim Meachen. ZL2BHF, in Nelson, New   
   Zealand.   
      
   --   
      
   While not trying to set a record the distances of these contacts is quite   
   impressive.  It also shows the ongoing interest in DMR by the experimenters   
   within the ham radio community.  More information on DMR is at VA3XPR.net.

   there is less enforcement activity in Amateur Radio under current Special   
   Council Laura Smith than when he was doing the job, that's not the case. New   
   FCC privacy rules mean that Smith can only release information after an

   EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: MAGNESIUM-ION MAY SOON REPLACE LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES    
      
   Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are the mobile power sources of choice   
   today, used in everything from laptop computers to hand held transceivers and   
   even automobiles.  For years, though, it has been known that they can   
   overheat and even catch fire.  Now there may be a new battery material that   
   overcomes this problem as we hear from Amateur Radio Newsline's Heather   
   Embee, KB3TZD:   
      
   --   
      
   The overheating problem is much less likely to happen with batteries made   
   with magnesium.  And magnesium ions in the battery electrolytes can carry a   
   double positive charge, increasing the device's energy density, or the amount   
   of electricity the battery can store.   
      
   Still, no one's been able to make a commercially viable magnesium-ion   
   battery, mostly because of magnesium's high reactivity with other materials   
   in such a cell which would interfere with the movement of the ions through   
   the electrolyte.  Now, researchers Liwen Wan and David Prendergast of the   
   Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California have conducted computer   
   simulations that show this reactivity actually isn't a problem.    
      
   In the October issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, they   
   write that the interference is much lower than had been thought, and   
   therefore that a magnesium-ion battery would be more efficient than expected.   
   On that basis, researchers at the National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan   
   improved the stability of the magnesium-ion battery.  Fei-Yi Hung, one of the   
   three leaders of the team, told the online publication Energy Trends that   
   they accomplished this in part by turning to a new technology that uses   
   electrodes made of magnesium membranes and magnesium powder.   
      
   The idea of a magnesium-ion battery has long been attractive not only   
   because it's less likely to overheat, Hung said, but also has up to 12 times   
   the energy density of a lithium-ion battery and its charge-discharge   
   efficiency is five times greater.   
      
   So when can we expect to see Magnesium Ion batteries hit the consumer   
   market?  According to the research teams it will be a while as there are   
   still other technical hurdles to overcome.

   RADIO IN SPACE:  SPACE JUNK TURNS OUT TO BE RUSSIAN SATELLITE   
      
   And finally, its well known that there is a lot of junk in Earth orbit as a   
   result of over a half decade, but once in a while a piece of space debris is   
   not what everyone thinks it to be as we hear from Amateur Radio Newsline's   
   Hal Rodgers, K8CMD:   
      
   --   
      
   What was first thought to be a piece of debris left over from the launch of   
   three Russian military communication satellites has turned out to be a fourth   
   bird that is actually on-orbit and capable of maneuvers.   
      
   The three satellites were designated Kosmos 2496, 2497 and 2498 were   
   launched this past May.  An analysis of orbital elements from a United States   
   space radar showed that a ghost spacecraft that had been thought to be debris   
   from the launch had made a definite controlled maneuver between May 29th and   
   May 31st.     
      
   On June 24, the mysterious spacecraft started maneuvering again, lowering   
   its perigee by four kilometers and lifting its apogee by 3.5 kilometers.  The   
   object continued its maneuvers in July and its perigee was lowered sharply,   
   bringing it close to the launch vehicles upper stage which had originally   
   delivered all four payloads into orbit.     
      
   This is the second time a Russian piece of orbital junk has suddenly started   
   maneuvering while on-orbit.  The first time was in early 2014 after a   
   December 2013 launch.  At that time the Russians admitted five months later   
   that the supposed junk was itself actually another satellite.     
      
   I'm Hal Rogers, K8CMD.   
      
   --   
      
   Whatever else may be circling the Earth from space launches of years and   
   decades past is likely only known to those nations that put it on-orbit.
