   WORLDBEAT:  BREAKUP OF THE NETHERLANDS ANTILLES AND THE CQ OPERATING   
   EVENTS   
      
      
   With several groups operating from the new DX entities created by the   
   breakup of the Netherlands Antilles ongoing, questions have arisen   
   regarding their status for CQ DX awards and contests. To clarify the   
   matter, CQ Editor Rich Moseson, W2VU, has issued the following statement   
   which we paraphrase in part.   
      
      
   In regard to the CQ DX Awards program, each of the five islands involved   
   in the change of status retains its previous PJ callsign prefix.   
   According to CQ DX Awards Manager Billy Williams, N4UF, the previous   
   entities of the Leeward Islands and Windward Islands Islands were   
   deleted as of October 9, 2010.  Four new entities - Curacao (PJ2), Sint   
   Maarten (PJ7), Bonaire (PJ4) and Saba/St. Eustatius (PJ5/6) became   
   active on October 10, for a net gain of two DX entities. Confirmations   
   for contacts made with the new entities will be accepted for CQ award   
   credit effective immediately.   
      
   Moseson went on to note that the country multiplier list for the CQ   
   World Wide DX Contests is based on a combination of the ARRL's DXCC list   
   and Germany's Deutscher Amateur Radio Club's Worked All Europe list.   
   Since the ARRL has also made the same changes, effective October 10th,   
   and these "new ones" will each count as separate country multipliers in   
   the CQ sponsored events, Moseson said.  (CQ)

   NEWSLINE FOLLOW-UP:  UK REGULATOR OFCOM UPDATE HAM SPECTRUM USE FOR 2012   
   GAMES   
      
      
   U-K telecommunications regulator Ofcom has published an updated spectrum   
   plan for wireless communications at the London 2012 Olympic Games.  This   
   includes an update on the various demands for spectrum and how they will   
   be met in part by tapping into the VHD and UHF ham bands.  Amateur Radio   
   Newsline's Norm Seeley, KI7UP, has more:   
      
      
   --   
      
      
   Frequencies in a number of bands allocated in the United Kingdom on a   
   secondary basis to the Amateur Radio Service will be used at Olympic   
   venues.  This according to United   Kingdom telecommunications regulator   
   Ofcom who days that the 70 cm, 23 cm and 13 cm bands will be used.   
      
      
   Regarding the 430 MHz band the plan, Ofcom says that the 430 to 440 MHz   
   band is managed by the Ministry of Defense and is used by Radio   
   Amateurs.  Ofcom notes RAYNET's support for the St John's   
   Ambulance, Red Cross and other similar users as well as amateur radio   
   special events stations for cultural events linked to the London 2012   
   Games will be considered.   
      
      
   According to Ofcom, as in past games, amateur radio bands, especially   
   430 to 440 MHz  have been used and this remains a possibility for the   
   London 2012 Games.  This, if the demand requires it.   
      
      
   In the statement Ofcom says that it has identified the bands that could   
   be used for land mobile radio, handheld communications and talkback.  As   
   such it is now able to provide more technical detail for use of those   
   these bands. With regard to the Amateur-Satellite Service the document   
   says that while Ofcom does not at this time think it will be necessary   
   to use those frequency bands.  However, it adds that it will retain the   
   option to consider whether there is a requirement to use them as it   
   develops its venue-specific spectrum plans.   
      
      
   Ofcom adds that it will continue to work closely with key stakeholders   
   as it develops its spectrum utilization plans for the 2012 games.

   RADIO LAW:  CQ WRITER TACKLES THE DEMISE OF THE FCC INDECENCY LAW   
      
      
   A writer for a major ham radio publication has tackled the recent court   
   ruling that overturned the FCC's regulation on indecency in   
   Broadcasting and what it might mean to ham radio enforcement.  Bill   
   Pasternak, WA6ITF, is in the newsroom with more:   
      
      
   --   
      
      
   With the Federal courts having recently struck down the FCC's policy   
   on broadcast indecency, many are wonder what impact if any that decision   
   will have on the prosecution of wayward members of the ham radio   
   community.  Now, writing in his Washington Readout column in the October   
   issue of CQ Magazine, columnist Fred Maia, W5YI, confronts this issue   
   head on.   
      
      
   In his article, W5YI notes that in the past, the FCC has held that the   
   indecency rules applying to radio and television broadcasting also   
   applied to amateur radio transmissions.  That in making obscenity or   
   indecency determinations that the FCC staff analyzes what was actually   
   said.   If the FCC determines that the curse words transmitted actually   
   violate its rules, it can issue a Notice of Apparent Liability or N-A-L   
   which is a preliminary finding that the rules have been violated.   
      
      
   But says Maia, to date the FCC has never issued a citation or a N-A-L to   
   a ham radio operator for solely violating its obscenity or indecency   
   rules.  The violation notice usually mentions other accompanying   
   offenses which can be easily proven and do not involve controversial   
   First Amendment issues.   
      
      
   Fred Maia is not an attorney but is a longtime FCC watcher and writer.   
   He also possesses a very good understanding of communications law and   
   has the ability to make it understandable to the general ham radio   
   public.  And he does that very well.

   Fred Maia is best known as the founder of the W5YI V-E-C and was the   
   longtime editor of the highly acclaimed W5YI Report ham radio   
   newsletter.  His very insightful commentary on the demise of the   
   FCC's indecency policy and its affect on our hobby begins on page 54   
   of the October issue of CQ Magazine.  It's an article well worth   
   reading by all in the United  States ham radio community.  (CQ)

   ENFORCEMENT IN SPACE:  EARTH RESOURCES SATELLITE BLINDED BY ILLEGAL   
   TERRESTRIAL OPERATIONS   
      
      
   And speaking about enforcement, here's a story of a different sort.   
   The European Space Agency says that it has launched a behind-the-scenes   
   campaign to shut down pirate radio and TV transmissions interfering with   
   a major climate satellite.   
      
      
   According to ESA, its Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity probe has been   
   bugged by patches of interference from radar, TV and radio transmissions   
   in what should be a protected band.  The interference to the bird is at   
   its peak as it passes over parts of southern Europe, Asia, the Middle   
   East and some coastal zones.   
      
      
   ESA believes that the intrusion has two sources.   One is a leak from   
   other services into the spectrum from 1400 to1427 MHz.  This is a   
   portion of the so called L-band that has been assigned to space   
   astronomy and Earth exploration satellites.  The other source is   
   believed to be illegal transmissions by TV, radio links and networks   
   such as security systems that are operating in this radio band.  ESA   
   adds that terrestrial radars appear to cause interference as well.   
      
      
   The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity satellite reportedly cost some   
   315-million-euro's to develop and launch into space.  (ESA)

   HAM RADIO BUSINESS:  MORE CHINA BUILT HAM GEAR ON ITS WAY   
      
      
   The sales success of the low priced Wouxon dual band hand held   
   transceivers has aparenty not been lost on the well established ham   
   radio retail trade.  This with the announcement by the five member   
   buying group Ham Pros will be selling both the Wouxon and other   
   made-in-China ham radio gear under the banner of nowchinadirect dot com.   
      
      
   In addition to the Wouxon HT, other gear in their full psagre ad in the   
   November QST Magazine include several metered power supplies, a pair of   
   SWR and power meters and two hand held transceivers from TYT.  These are   
   the TH-F5 single bander that covers 2  meters and the UV-F1 that covers   
   both 2 meters and 70  centimeters.   
      
      
   The ad notes that all of the H-T's carry Part 90 FCC certification.   
   According to ARRL Counsel Christopher Imlay, W3KD, writing elsewhere in   
   the same issue of QST, Wouxon and presumably other mainland China   
   manufacturers who have obtained Part 90 certification for their   
   equipment can legally sell these units and hams.  Also that hams can use   
   them as long as they are operated strictly in the ham radio bands.   
      
      
   Imlay also notes that Wouxon U.S. has chosen to limit the range in which   
   their HT's can transmit to the ham radio bands.  He says that this   
   is akin to good fences making for good neighbors.

   interpretation along with a full review of the Wouxon dual band HT

   RESCUE RADIO:  REBUILDING BROADCASTING FROM GROUND ZERO   
      
      
   An audio recording of the 2003 Audio Engineering Society conference   
   detailing how radio and television broadcasting was returned to the   
   metro New York City area following the September 11th 2001 terrorist   
   attack by al-Quida is now on line at the AES website.   
      
      
   Immediately after the attack, broadcasters, especially TV stations, had   
   to scramble to get back on the air or return their service to full   
   coverage.  A common solution was to broadcast from the Empire State   
   Building, where many had been based before moving to the World  Trade   
   Center.  Nearly two years later, the the 115th AES Convention featured a   
   session titled "Rebuilding of New York Broadcasting."  It   
   examined the events from 9/11 through getting broadcasters back up onto   
   the air and exploring ways to make the broadcast systems of the city   
   safer and more secure.   
      
   Now, seven years later, audio of that two-hour session is available   
   online at the AES website for anyone to hear.  The panel included Joe   
   Giardina of DSI RF Systems, John Lyons of property owner the Durst   
   Organization, Kevin Plumb of WABC and WPLJ, Steve Shultis of WNYC Radio   
   and Tom Silliman of tower builder and antenna installer ERI Inc.

   EMERGING TECHNOLOGY:  NIST DEVELOPS RHEOMETER ON A CHIP   
      
      
   Its being called a lab on a chip and its purpose is to experiment with   
   elasticity in just about any material that you can think of.  Even   
   things found inside of your ham radio station.  Amateur Radio   
   Newsline's Jim Davis, W2JKD, has more:   
      
      
   --   
      
      
   Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology,   
   better known in ham radio simply as the  NIST have demonstrated a   
   microminiaturized device that can make complex viscosity measurements on   
   sample sizes as small as a few nano-liters.  Currently a table-top   
   prototype, the NIST Rheometer could be a particularly valuable tool for   
   biotechnologists  studying minute quantities of complex materials that   
   must function  in  confined spaces.   
      
      
   Viscosity, elasticity and how materials flow when subject to a force is   
   the subject of the science of Rheology.   Measurements tell a lot about   
   a complicated material like a gel in determining if it is more like a   
   liquid or a solid and to what degree under what conditions by   
   determining its visco-elasticity.  For example, the popular   
   children's toy known as Silly Putty is a classic example of complex   
   visco-elasticity, bouncing better than a rubber ball under a sharp,   
   sudden force but slumping into  a puddle when left alone.   
      
      
   NIST's early prototype Rheometers include only the core sliding plate   
   mechanism on a MEMS chip, and rely on a microscope and high-speed   
   cameras for the actual measurements.  According to the research team, in   
   their more polished version the necessary sensors could be  included on   
   the MEMS chip and the entire instrument reduced to a handheld device.
