   RADIO LAW: HR-607 SPONSOR BEGINS WORK TO ELIMINATE 70 CM HAM B AND FROM THE   
   BILL   
      
   Some more good news on the future of House of Representatives measure HR-607   
   and its possible impact on the amateur radio allocation from 420 to 440 MHz.   
   Mike Lisenco, N2YBB, was one of the four New York City area hams that   
   recently met with the bills sponsor Representative Peter King and elicited a   
   promise to get the measure changed. This, so as to eliminate the possible   
   sale of that ham radio allocation from it. Now says Lisenco, the action to   
   do this is already underway:   
      
   --   
      
   N2YBB: "After we met with Congressman King on the 19th; shortly after that   
   we were told by his staff that the Congressman requested of the committee   
   that Section 207 which is the section in HR-607 that deals specifically with   
   the sale of spectrum below 512 MHz be completely removed from the bill.   
      
   "He went to Conressman Greg Walden, who is a Republican from Oregon, whose   
   callsign is W7EQU, and who is the chairman of the House Subcommittee on   
   Technology, Communications and the Internet.   
      
   "Both of them agreed to remove the section and we are being told that the   
   bill will absolutely not move forward until (Section) 207 is removed from   
   it."   
      
   --   
      
   According to N2YBB, he sincerely believes that Congressman King is a man of   
   his word and will follow through completely on his commitment to remove any   
   reference to the 70 centimeter band from the measure. And according to   
   Lisenco, this is a good lesson in how hams must learn to deal with all   
   political issues on a grass roots level:   
      
   --   
      
   N2YBB: "I think the lesson that we learn here is that the best approach is   
   to develop working relationships with all legislators; whether they be on a   
   Congressional level; whether they be on a local level such as a City Council   
   member or a state representative.   
      
   "It really behooves us to go out and build these working relationships with   
   our representatives because a face-to-face meeting with a constituent is a   
   thousand times more powerful then 10,000 letters."   
      
   --   
      
   Lisenco notes that unlike the 1950's, 60's, or 70's, that today with the   
   speed at which communications takes place it really is necessary to get a   
   face to face meeting with legislators on issues that affect our service.   
      
   As to when the action to remove 420 to 450 MHz from possible resle under   
   HR-607, Lisenco cannot say. He notes that legislation in Washington moves   
   at its own pace but he is certain that Representative King will act in the   
   best interest of his constituents in the amateur radio community which he   
   represents in Congress. (ARNewsline(tm))

   HAM RADIO IN SPACE: NEW US ONLY SELECTION PROCESS ANNOUNCED FOR ARISS   
   CONTACTS   
      
   An announcement that will change the way in which educators in the Unuited   
   States must apply for ham radio in space classroom contacts with the   
   International Space Station is now in place. Norm Seeley, KI7UP, reports:   
      
   --   
      
   The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station or ARISS planning group   
   along with the NASA Johnson Space Center Education Office's Teaching From   
   Space staff have jointly announced a new processes that United States based   
   educators will need to follow. This, to submit a proposal for a school   
   contact with the International Space Station crew.   
      
   Effective immediately, a application for an ARISS school contact must consist   
   of a comprehensive education plan, of which the ARISS contact is one of many   
   components. Other parameters include the integration of NASA education and   
   ARRL content with surrounding education activities, and incorporate creative   
   ways to maximize the reach of the ARISS contact and the experience for   
   students. .   
      
   The proposal should include study topics related to space technology, space   
   exploration or space research, as well as amateur radio, radio science and   
   wireless communications technology. Also, the educator must describe the   
   instructional activities and lessons to be engaged in with students as part   
   of the learning and preparation for the proposed contact   
      
   ARISS astronaut contacts under the new processes will begin in January 2012   
   and end in July 2012. A window of opportunity will open every six months   
   when another NASA news release goes to educators. The first of these opened   
   on May 19th and will close on July 15th.   
      
   The initial NASA news release was sent on May 19th to 18,000 educators.   
   NASA's Teaching From Space Office stresses that for the moment the new   
   procedure applies only to schools in the United States. Educational   
   institutions in other countries will continue to follow their existing   
   process.

   RESTRUCTURING: JAPAN SCRAPS FINAL MORSE TESTING   
      
   The country that started the no-code licensing revolution some six decades   
   ago has finally dropped the Morse testing requirement for all of that   
   nations ham radio licensees. This with word that the Japanese Ministry of   
   Internal Affairs has decided to scrap Morse testing for the Amateur Radio   
   Class 1 and 2 licenses with an effective date of this coming October 1st.   
      
   What amounts to Japan's version of a Notice of Proposed Rule Making on the   
   Morse test was held earlier in the year. There were 39 people who   
   responded. Following a discussion of the information the responses   
   provided, the Ministry announced that Morse telegraphy testing would be   
   discontinued.   
      
   Japan pioneered the High Frequency No-Code Amateur Radio or Class 4 license   
   in the 1950's although they still required Morse for the higher license   
   classes. The written exam for the Class 4 is roughly equivalent to the   
   Foundation exam in the United Kingdom and Australia and the discontinued USA   
   Novice.

   RADIO HEALTH: WHO NOW SAYS CELLPHONES MAY CAUSE CANCER   
      
   According to the World Health Organization, radiation from cell phones can   
   possibly cause cancer. This as the agency now lists mobile phone as a   
   carcinogenic hazard.   
      
   According to published news reports, a team of thirty-one scientists from   
   fourteen nations reached this the decision after reviewing previously   
   reviewed studies on cellular telephone safety. The scientists say that they   
   found enough evidence to categorize personal exposure as possibly   
   carcinogenic to humans. What that means is they found some proof of   
   increase two types of brain cancer with mobile phone users, but have not   
   been able to draw conclusions for other types of cancers.   
      
   The wireless industry responded to the announcement saying it "does not mean   
   cell phones cause cancer. The Cellular Telecommunications Industry   
   Association noted added that World Health Organization researchers did not   
   conduct any new research, but rather just reviewed already published   
   studies.   
      
   Before its announcement on Tuesday, May 31st the World Health Organization   
   had assured consumers that no adverse health effects from cellular   
   telephones had been established. (Published news reports)

   RESCUE RADIO: SPRINGFIELD TORNADO RESPONSE   
      
   Two tornadoes touched down in Central Massachusetts on Wednesday, June 1st   
   causing widespread damage to the city of Springfield and several other   
   communities. Amateur radio operators sprang into action on several fronts   
   including providing assistance to the National Weather Service in spreading   
   word about the storms

   Operations Center in near the city of Springfield which was one of the towns   
   hit by a tornado.   
      
   At airtime the death toll stands at four but first responders are going door   
   to door looking for other victims trapped in damaged buildings.

   ENFORCEMENT: MIAMI UNLICENSED BROADCASTER FINED $20,000   
      
   Yet another unlicensed broadcaster in Florida has been handed a stiff penalty   
   by the FCC. This, as it upholds a $20,000 fine against Nounoune Lubin for   
   operating a radio station in North Miami, withour a government grant to do   
   so.   
      
   According to an FCC release, on four occasions in late 2009 and into 2010,   
   agents from the Miami office traced the source of an illegal signal on 90.1   
   MHz to Lubin's premises. They also traced a cable from an antenna in the   
   backyard to transmitting equipment in her home.   
   The FCC says that even after receiving two Notices for operating an   
   unauthorized station, Lubin continued on the air. That's when it decided to   
   issue a Notice of Aparant Liability to Monetary Forfeiture in the amount of   
   $20,000.   
      
   In response, Lubin simply claimed she did not operate the station, but   
   offered no other proof. The regulatory agency was unconvinced. In   
   affirming the fine it said that even if Lubin herself didn't operate the   
   station, the equipment was on her premises, powered on and under her   
   control.   
      
   The agency then upheld the original penalty, which has now escalated to a   
   forfeiture order. Lubin was given the customary 30 days to pay or to file   
   an appeal. (FCC)

   ENFORCEMENT: COURT DISMISSES K1MAN COUNTERCLAIM   
      
   Another loss for Glenn A. Baxter, K1MAN, in his legal battle with the United   
   States government which is seeking to collect a $21,000 fine issued against   
   him by the FCC.   
      
   On May 23, the US District Court in Maine released an Order, dismissing one   
   of Baxter's amended counterclaims on multiple grounds. In its dismissal the   
   court noted that the counterclaim by the plaintiff does not have standing to   
   file a civil action against the government for its decision not to initiate   
   a prosecution. Also that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction to   
   review a Federal Communications Commission licensing decision, and that the   
   Federal Tort Claims Act does not authorize a civil suit based on a   
   governmental agency's alleged failure to perform its statutory duty.   
      
   According to the October 2010 complaint, the $21,000 fine had been levied   
   against Baxter for - and we quote -- defendant's willful and repeated   
   violations of Sections 97.101(d) which is commencing transmissions on top of   
   existing communications. Also for violating Section 97.113(a)(3) which is   
   transmitting communications in which the station licensee or control   
   operator has a pecuniary interest. Baxter had also been charged for his   
   alleged willful violation of Section 97.105(a) which is exercising control   
   over station, Section 97.113(b) that deals with propitiations on amateur   
   service stations broadcasting and for his failure to file requested   
   information pursuant to an Enforcement Bureau directive.   
      
   The court upheld complaint that seeks to force Baxter to pay the $21,000 fine   
   along with a filing fee and such other and further relief as the Court deems   
   just and proper. Two United States Attorneys filed the complaint against   
   Baxter in US District Court in October 2010, for not responding   
   appropriately to an order that he pay a $21,000 monetary forfeiture. Baxter   
   countered by filing several pro se motions of his own. (ARRL, others)

   NAMES IN THE NEWS: VUAC WANTS INPUT ON HOW TO INCREASE ACTIVITY   
      
   According to Jon Platt, W0ZQ, the ARRL would like to encourage more   
   participation in several VHF and UHF contests held each year. In a posting   
   to the VHF Reflector, Platt is quoted as noting that many of the High   
   Frequency transceivers sold in recent years include 50 MHz. Some also   
   include the 144 and 432 MHz bands with multi-mode capabilities. He goes on   
   to say that the question at hand is how can we encourage more owners of such   
   radios to utilize these bands and modes to participate in VHF and UHF   
   contests?   
      
   Platt says that the ARRL VHF/UHF Advisory Committee - the VUAC -- has been   
   asked to consider this question. Also to make recommendations on ways to   
   encourage, explore and expand the ARRL VHF and UHF contests and other   
   operating activities by using the multi-band and multi-mode capabilities of   
   modern transceivers and related equipment.   
      
   W0ZQQ says that VUAC would like to ask the amateur radio community to provide   
   its comments and ideas for consideration. Please send any that you have to   
   your ARRL VUAC Division representative no later than July 1st. A listing of

   Computing Systems. One of these is titled "Your Noise is My Command:   
   Sensing Gestures Using the Body as an Antenna."   
      
   In this case, the human body isn't transmitting. Rather it is receiving   
   electromagnetic noise from objects the body or hand. It then feeds this

   THAT FINAL ITEM: A LADY THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE DAYTON HAMVENTION   
      
   And finally this week the story of a Dayton Hamvention forum leader who has   
   been a part of the annual event for close to a quarter of a century. Amateur   
   Radio Newsline's Mark Abramowicz, NT3V, has the story of this educator who   
   keeps kids coming to Hamvention year after year after year:   
      
   --   
      
   Carole Perry, WB2MGP, has been the driving force behind Dayton's annual Youth   
   Forum on Saturdays here at the Hamvention for years.   
      
   Perry says it's been an incredible experience working with young people who   
   really have an interest in not just turning on a radio and talking or typing   
   on a keyboard, but interest in the technical side.   
      
   Perry says she's heard from those who attended past Youth Forums and went on   
   to some pretty exciting careers...   
      
   "The kids work for NASA, the kids get involved with the Hubble telescope -   
   they've reported back. They've all gone on - for the most part - into   
   technical pursuits," Perry says. "And even if they never got a license, the   
   fact that they had fun and became technologically a little bit more   
   knowledgeable, then that's the stuff we're there to do with them."   
      
   So how did Perry get connected to the Youth Forum?   
      
   "I taught 'Introduction to Amateur Radio' for 30 years," Perry says. "And now   
   that I'm retired, it was either the hammock or continue doing this and I   
   chose to do this.   
      
   "And, I love working with young people. There's a positive energy that you   
   get when you work with young people. So that's why I love it."   
      
   Perry says the Youth Forum at Dayton wouldn't be possible if it weren't for   
   the equipment vendors, ham radio publications, and the Radio Club of   
   America...which she says is especially generous to the youth who make   
   presentations...   
      
   "At the end of it, each presenter from RCA gets the 'Young Achievers Award'   
   from RCA as well as a $100 stipend to encourage them for their presentations   
   and for their work in wireless communications," Perry says.   
      
   Next year is the 25th anniversary of the Youth Forum and Perry says she's   
   already working on some ideas with the folks at Dayton and others.   
      
   "I've got DARA thinking about it, a lot of the publishers of the ham   
   magazines are thinking about it," Perry says. "We're considering doing a   
   reunion of all the kids who have presented over the last 25 years - that's   
   one of the thoughts. So we're going to be working on that."   
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Mark Abramowicz, NT3V, reporting from the   
   Dayton Hamvention.   
      
   --   
      
   Carole Perry, WB2MGP, has received many honors over the years, but perhaps   
   the greatest is the fact that 24 years after she began the Dayton Hamvention   
   Youth Forum, it is still growing in size and importance each year.
