   RADIO IN SPACE:  THE ISS CELEBRATES ITS 10TH ANNIVERSARY   
      
      
   The International Space Station marked a major milestone on Tuesday,   
   November 2nd.  This, as it celebrated the 10-year anniversary of human   
   beings living aboard the orbital outpost.  Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, is in   
   the newsroom with more:   
      
      
   --   
      
      
   The story of the International Space Stations manned operations began on   
   November 2, 2000.  That's when an American astronaut and a Russian   
   cosmonaut floated side by side into the station that sits in orbit at   
   about than 300 km above Earth's surface.   
      
      
   The station's first crew was made up of Russians Yuri Gidzenko, Sergei   
   Krikalev and American commander Bill Shepherd.  In the intervening   
   decade close to 200 people, many of them licensed radio amateurs have   
   spent time on board the ISS and operated the ARISS ham station.   
      
      
   The Current Expedition 25 crew is made up of Commander Doug Wheelock,   
   KF5BOC along with NASA astronauts Scott Kelly and Shannon Walker,   
   KD5DXB.  Also on-orbit with them are Russian cosmonauts Fyodor   
   Yurchikhin, RN3FI, Alexander Kaleri, U8MIR and Oleg Skripochka, RN3FU.   
      
      
   The I-S-S has also been a hotel on-orbit for several visiting space   
   tourists including Richard Garriott, W5KWQ.  He is the son of Astronaut   
   Owen Garriott, W5LFL, who was the first ham radio operator to take to   
   the airwaves back in 1982 from the space shuttle Columbia.   
      
      
   NASA Administrator Charles Bolden was to have begun the event, speaking   
   live to the I-S-S crew at 9:15 a.m. EDT from the Kennedy Space Center in   
   Florida.  His remarks and the following news conference were broadcast   
   live on NASA Television.

   In addition to the crew news conference, NASA is updating the content of   
   the International Space Station section of its website in recognition of   
   the 10th anniversary.  The update supports the on-going transition from   
   station assembly to utilization. It now will focus on the research in   
   the unique microgravity environment of low-Earth orbit as found on-board   
   the I-S-S.  (ARNewsline Archive, NASA News and various other sources)

   HAM RADIO IN SPACE: SECOND HAM STATION FOR THE ISS   
      
      
   A second ham radio station will soon be on the air from on board the   
   International Space Station.  This, after NASA approves use of the   
   original VHF and UHF Ericsson handheld radios from the Russian module   
   for use in the US segment of the orbital outpost.   
      
      
   A new power cable for the Ericsson radios is being delivered to the   
   I-S-S.  The second station is planned to initially use the same   
   frequencies currently used by the Kenwood D-700 amateur radio   
   transceiver.  Studies are underway to determine a compatible operating   
   plan which would allow both stations to operate simultaneously.

   RESCUE RADIO:  GLOBALSET ON NOVEMBER 13th   
      
      
   The second Global Simulated Emergency Test of 2010 or is slated for   
   Saturday, November 13th from 1100 to 1500 hours local time in the   
   geographic region of the stations taking part.  Also known by the   
   acronym GlobalSET, the operation will take place on and near the   
   established world-wide Centre-of-Activity emergency frequencies on the   
   80, 40, 20, 17 and 15 meter bands.   
      
   The objectives of GlobalSET are to increase the common interest in   
   emergency communications, to test how usable the emergency   
   Centre-of-Activity frequencies are across the three I-T-U regions and   
   practice the relaying of messages using all modes.  The exercise will   
   also be used to try to create practices for international emergency   
   communication.   
      
      
   IARU member radio societies and emergency communications group stations   
   intending to participate are requested to register their intention   
   through their IARU Regional or National Emergency Communications   
   Coordinators.  (IARU)

   RADIO POLITICS RAC AND IC MEET TO DISCUSS CANADIAN HAM RADIO   
      
      
   The 35th meeting of the Canadian Amateur Radio Advisory Board took place   
   on Thursday October 28th.  CARAB as its sometimes known, is composed of   
   representatives from both Radio Amateurs of Canada and Industry Canada.   
   The latter is the regulator of amateur radio in that nation.  Amateur   
   Radio Newsline's Norm Seeley, KI7UP, tells us what occurred:   
      
      
   --   
      
      
   Among key issues discussed at the meeting was Industry Canada's policy   
   regarding temporary authorization of frequency assignments in amateur   
   bands to non-amateur services such as last September's Pro Tour race   
   in Quebec.  Radio Amateurs of Canada did all it could to impressed upon   
   the Industry Canada officials that Canadian amateurs, objected to   
   intrusion into amateur bands by non-amateur services, especially for   
   non-emergency purposes.  For its part, Industry Canada noted the   
   objection.  It also committed to improve coordination and cooperation   
   and advised that they were sensitive to Radio Amateurs of Canada's   
   concerns   
      
      
   Industry Canada committed to continue to work with Radio Amateurs of   
   Canada on the national societies request for an allocation in the 60   
   Meter band which mirror those frequencies available to United States   
   amateurs. Radio Amateurs of Canada emphasized the importance of this   
   request as seen by Canadian amateurs.   
      
      
   Industry Canada and Radio Amateurs of Canada also discussed the positive   
   role that amateur radio played in emergency situations.  Industry Canada   
   noted that there would be value in more cooperation and planning between   
   it and Radio Amateurs of Canada in this area. Follow-up meetings between   
   the two will be arranged over the coming month's.   
      
      
   Lastly, the value of the Canadian Amateur Radio Advisory Board as a   
   consultative body between Radio Amateurs of Canada and Industry Canada   
   was reaffirmed by both parties and the Terms of Reference between the   
   two were updated.

   RESCUE RADIO: OHIO CLUB RECEIVES GRANT FOR NEW GEAR   
      
      
   The Lancaster and Fairfield County Amateur Radio Club of Lancaster,   
   Ohio, has received a $5,219.86 grant from the George and Dollie L.   
   Zimpfer Memorial Fund.  The grant, administered through the Fairfield   
   County Foundation, permitted the club to purchase emergency radio gear   
   and associated equipment that can be used at all special community   
   events, local emergencies, natural disasters and during other times used   
   for membership training and simulated emergency drills.  The equipment   
   will also be used to supplement emergency responders and provide   
   education and training to volunteers who will assist those responders.   
   The Lancaster and Fairfield County Amateur Radio Club is a public   
   service group and has operated the K8QIK repeater on 147.030 MHz since   
   1976.  (Eagle-Gazette.com)

   ENFORCEMENT:  US ATTORNEYS OFFICE GOES TO COURT TO COLLECT $21000 FINE   
   ISSUED AGAINST K1MAN   
      
      
   It has taken almost five years, but the United States Department of   
   Justice has gone to court to collect a $21,000 fine issued back in March   
   of 2006 by the FCC to Glenn, Baxter, K1MAN, of Belgrade Lakes, Maine.   
   This, as two US Attorneys file a Complaint in the US District Court in   
   Maine against Baxter for not responding appropriately to an order that   
   he pay the fine that was issued for his alleged violating of several   
   sections of the Part 97 rules.  Amateur Radio Newsline's Burt Hicks,   
   has the details:   
      
      
   --   
      
      
   The Complaint was filed on October 25 in the US District Court in Maine   
   by United States Attorney Thomas E. Delehanty and Assistant U.S.   
   Attorney Evan Roth and.  It seeks to force Glenn A. Baxter, K1MAN, to   
   pay the $21,000 fine along with a $350 court filing fee and other relief   
   as the Court deems just and proper.   
      
      
   According to the court document, the fine had originally been levied   
   based on what the FCC had deemed as the defendant's willful and   
   repeated violations of Sections 97.101(d) and 97.113(a)(3) of the   
   Commission's Rules.  In this case the violation of Section 97.101(d)   
   dealt with Baxters alleged commencing transmissions on top of existing   
   communications on 3 point 890 MHz while 97.113(a)(3) involved what the   
   FCC claimed to be transmitting communications in which the station   
   licensee or control operator has a pecuniary interest.   
      
      
   Baxter had also been cited for willful violation of Section 97.105(a)   
   which deals with exercising proper control over his amateur station and   
   Section 97.113(b) which is a prohibition against broadcasting in the   
   Amateur Service bands.   Lastly the complaint notes Baxer's failure   
   to file requested information pursuant to an FCC Enforcement Bureau   
   directive.   
      
      
   It should be noted that this action to collect the $21000 fine is a   
   completely separate action from any further sanctions that the FCC might   
   take regarding the renewal of Baxter's Amateur Service license and K1MAN   
   call sign.  His renewal request had been in legal limbo since his   
   license was set aside by the regulatory agency before its expiration   
   date back in October of 2005.  Under the terms of a set aside, an   
   Amateur Service license holder can continue to operate until the matter   
   has been properly adjudicated.  Payment of a fine or forfeiture will   
   have no bearing on Baxter's renewal or continued holding of an FCC   
   license.   
      
      
   The action to collect the $21000 fine was brought under Section 503(b)   
   of the Communications Act of 1934, and Section 1.80 of the FCC Rules and   
   Regulations.  As noted, the original FCC Forfeiture Order was released   
   March 29, 2006.  The deadline for service of process would have been   
   February 22, 2011 so the Department of Justice beat that date by a   
   little over 3 months   
      
      
   For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Burt Hicks, in Los Angeles.   
      
      
   --   
      
      
   By now, Baxter has likely been informed he has 20 days from date of   
   service in which to answer the summons.  If he fails to respond a   
   default judgment will be entered against him in U.S. District Court   
   after which the government can cease whatever property is required to   
   satisfy the judgment.  Those interested can read the full text of the

   ENFORCEMENT:  NO STAFF RADIO STATION HIT WITH $25000 FINE   
      
      
   The FCC has notified Rama Communications, Inc, the licensee of A.M.   
   radio station WRHB in Leesburg, Florida, of a proposed forfeiture in the   
   amount of $25,000.  This, for violations of sections 73.1125(a) and   
   73.3526 of the Commissions rules.   
      
      
   The FCC says that the violations stem from a recent visit where   
   inspectors found that Rama failed to maintain full time management and   
   staff at its main studio.  It was also charged with failing to maintain   
   and make available a complete public inspection file.   
      
      
   The station was given the customary 30 days to pay the forfeiture or to   
   file an appeal.  (FCC)

   ENFORCEMENT:  INDIANAPOLIS POLICE SHOW UP AGAIN ON UNAUTHORIZED   
   FREQUENCIES   
      
      
   For a second time, Indianapolis police are investigating claims that   
   officers are using radio frequencies assigned to an area school district   
   without the proper permission to do so.  Jack Parker, W8ISH, has the   
   details:   
      
      
   --   
      
      
   Apparently some members of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police   
   Department are teaching a new lesson on how to abuse public airwaves and   
   violate FCC rules.   According to a report broadcast on one local   
   Indianapolis TV station, some of Indy's finest are using illegal   
   radios for chit chat on a local school systems bus frequency.   
      
      
   This abuse of police radio power has been recorded by a former   
   police-fire dispatcher.  According to John, who is a ham radio operator,   
   the cops not only use the school radio channel but mix foul language   
   with cross talk about cases on which they are working.  John claims he   
   has recorded about 72 hours of what sounded like car-to-car   
   conversations, some not fit for broadcast.   
      
      
   This is not the first report of this cop caper. Last year Amateur Radio   
   Newsline investigated reports of I-M-P-D officers illegally using   
   amateur radios and frequencies for talk around.  The police chief pulled   
   the plug on all un-official in-car-radios and ordered their   
   communications people to develop a legal radio system that officers   
   could use for casual talk.  Most officers rejected that offer citing the   
   out of pocket cost and the fact that any established radio channel could   
   be monitored by the police brass.   
      
      
   In the past year, at least one other local Amateur Radio operator has   
   filed complaints with FCC offices in Chicago and Washington citing   
   improper use of radio frequencies by Indianapolis Metro Police Officers.   
      
      
   Following that complaint some officers took the high road by earning   
   their amateur radio license.  But, they soon realized they can't   
   talk shop on amateur frequencies.  The jury remains out on a solution to   
   this touchy tactical dilemma.   
      
      
   I-M-P-D officials say they again are looking into the issue and will   
   implement policy changes if needed.   
      
      
   Reporting from Indianapolis, for Amateur Radio Newsline, this is Jack   
   Parker W8ISH.   
      
      
   --   
      
      
   This is not the first time that members of the Indianapolis Police Force   
   have been found on radio frequencies where they do not belong.  You may   
   remember back to when hams found officers chatting on both the 2 meter   
   and 70 centimeter FM sub-bands back in 2009. (ARNewsline(tm) from
