40m Band Plan Harmonisation WIA next steps
Following the 40m band plan harmonisation consultation conducted by
the WIA, discussions have taken place with the IARU Region 3 HF Band
Plan committee (HFBPC) over the WIA findings.
The IARU Region 3 sub-committee has now taken into consideration the
work of the WIA and has decided that it would be beneficial to all
if the Region 3 sub-committee deliver the new IARU perspective paper
directly into the IARU Region 3 conference to be held in Thailand in
November. This approach was proposed so that all member societies can
engage in discussion on the proposals freely at the conference,
including the WIA, based on whatever local feedback they receive.
For the WIA, it means that we will not be directly proposing the
changes to the conference, thus giving us more freedom at the
conference to act in the best interests of all radio amateurs in
Australia.
The WIA therefore invites its members, and interested radio amateurs
in Australia, to provide feedback on the new IARU Region 3 paper to
WIA, which can then be taken forth to the conference. Amateurs in
other countries within Region 3 should do likewise through their
regional IARU member associations.
To see what the IARU Region 3 sub-committee has proposed, you can
obtain a copy of their paper from
tinyurl.com/4s8sx3ws
If you are in Australia, please forward your feedback to the
secretary(at)wia.org.au who will collate member input and pass it on to
the WIA delegation attending this years conference.

AUSTRALIANA
URBAN MYTH? OR HOUSEHOLD FACT?
I think we first reported on this story way back in 2017, that story
being that automatic robot vacuum cleaners could be hacked to spy on
us.
Every couple of years this resurfaces, and only last month the ABC
ran a story. The ABC and Brisbane based journalist Julian Fell,
claimed that professionally hackers were able to hack a robotic
vacuum cleaner, most robotic vacuum cleaners and a lot of
electric vehicles have a LiDAR object based detection camera system
that researchers claim are all vulnerable to professional hackers.
At the end of the day, we are all vulnerable to attack when connected
to a Bluetooth or Wi Fi network for smart speakers, smart security
cameras, smart light globes, smart coffee machines, smart alarm
clocks, smart refrigerators, even some kids toys and baby monitors
are technically Internet of Things devices many of which have been
able to be accessed by hackers and professional security companies
who test for vulnerabilities.
But, just be careful which room of your house your robot vacuum
cleaner parks itself of an evening!

DISCUSSION POINT
With David VK4DN.
Blind amateurs on the Air!
Recently I have had the opportunity to work with a couple of
Blind persons locally here in Brisbane.
One was already an advanced station that had not been on the air
for something like 15 years! He didnt have ANY radio gear, had
dropped out of the hobby, but had kept his callsign active. After
learning about his situation, I told him not to worry, we will
organise a cheap little radio and a flowerpot antenna and get
him back on the air and access into all the local repeaters.
Well, you should have seen his face light up!
So I ordered a new Baofeng radio online. I was able to get one for
less than $30! And as many of you will know, these little radios will
announce what channel or frequency you are on which is a big help when
you cant see the display!
After building the flowerpot antenna, I visited his QTH and with the
help of his support worker, we installed it on a pole with a length of
coax and he was able to start chatting on the air!
His wife has since contacted me to thank me for organising this for
him because it has made a huge difference in his life now that he is
active again and we are currently looking at some new radio equipment
that will be a much better setup for him.
The other fellow we are helping is currently studying for his
Foundation. Once again, I was able to source a UV5R and flowerpot to
allow him to listen until he gets his own callsign. He is an avid
short wave listener, and often calls me on the phone to ask questions
about something he has heard on the repeaters or to remind me a net
is on!
The point I am making is that someone who is blind may sometimes feel
very isolated. And on the air, no one would even know you are blind
(unless you tell them!)
In fact many people living in our community WITHOUT a disability often
feel isolated or alone too! I know a number of amateurs (myself
included!) who will agree that the hobby has made a huge impact on our
lives! I often like to say that we are not only members of a local
amateur radio club, we are also members of a local amateur radio
community! Its up to each of us to make everyone feel welcome, and to
do what we can to help them get on the air and participate in this
amazing hobby we call amateur radio.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS is with thanks to ARRL, DX-WORLD, eHam, Hackaday,
IARU, ICQPodcast, IRTS, NEWSLINE, NZART, RAC, Radioworld.com, RSGB,
SARL and the World Wide sources of the WIA.
Starting with our thoughts for all suffering in the United States,
civilians and Ham Radio Ops. alike from the absolute devastation
caused by hurricanes Milton and Helene.
WinLink operations are requesting all non-essential, that is weekly
nets and testing, cease until emergency traffic eases.
That old Proverb, "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good" may be
incorrect after all.
After radio proved essential for communication during recent disasters
in the Southeast of the USA, Attorneys General from a dozen states are
emphasizing the importance of keeping AM radio in cars. They say
Hurricane Helene highlights why AM radio is crucial in emergencies and
are urging Congress to pass legislation that would require automakers
to keep AM radio in vehicle dashboards.
During emergencies, it is vitally important that federal, state, and
local officials be able to deliver emergency warnings and other
information to their citizens, the group writes. AM radio signals
travel greater distances as compared to FM, and citizens can receive
information via AM radio even when phone lines, electricity, and cell
phones are inoperable.
The proposed AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act last month cleared its
final committee hurdle and now awaits a vote in the full House.
If passed, the bill will require the Secretary of Transportation to
issue a rule requiring access to AM broadcast stations in motor
vehicles. If they dont, carmakers could be fined.
The Sri Lankan amateur community has suffered the loss of two
prominent amateurs, who became Silent Keys one day apart.
Vasanth Guruge, 4S7VG made a name for himself among prominent DXers
not long after receiving his licence in the mid-1970s.
Twice was president of the Radio Society of Sri Lanka - first from
2005 to 2007 and again from 2015 to 2016. The radio society referred
to him as a "cornerstone of the Sri Lankan amateur radio community."
VS7VG died September 15 aged just 70.
One day earlier, Sadeepa Sepala, 4S6SAD, became a Silent Key.
4S6SAD was a dependable mentor to operators utilizing the digital
modes or the Automatic Packet Reporting System. He was, above all,
a kind and respected mentor, according to the radio society website,
which praised him for sharing his wide knowledge of astronomy,
antenna theory, and radio science with hams and university
undergraduates. He took a particular interest in encouraging young
students to embrace radio science.
RIP 4 S 6 SAD and 4 S 7 VG.
In the UK the RSGB are really leading the way encouraging more and
more youth into YOTA, Youngsters On The Air by the appointment of
two new volunteer Youth Champion roles. Chris Aitken, MM0WIC will be
the RSGBs School Youth Champion and Rhys Williams, M0WGY/AJ6XD will
be the University Youth Champion.
Chris is a Computing Science teacher at Wick High School, Caithness nd
Rhys represented the RSGB at the YOTA Camp in Prague this year and
sent back daily reports on his activities.
Ben Lloyd, GW4BML is the Board Liaison for youth activities. He says,
I welcome Chris and Rhys to their new youth volunteer roles and look
forward to working closely with them in the future to attract and grow
RSGB youth membership."
Alan VK2COD will be joining Col VK3GTV with lots more news as it
relates to Youth On The Air a little further down this WIA

RUSSIA
Russian state media company VGTRK, which owns and operates the
country's main national TV stations, was targeted in a massive
cyberattack coinciding with President Vladimir Putin's birthday.
(born 7 October 1952)
The website of VGTRK, the All-Russia State Television and Radio
Broadcasting Company, was not loading early on Monday and its
Rossiya-24 rolling 24-hours news channel was not available online.
"Online broadcasting and internal services are down and even the
Internet and telephony are not working. It's going to take a long time
to fix," one source said.
Speaking in Moscow, Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian
Foreign Ministry, did not say who was behind the attack but told
reporters that Russian media had long since become targets.
Moscow would raise the cyberattack in all international forums,
including at UNESCO, the UN agency which promotes freedom of speech,
Zakharova said.

NOW CONTEST WISE:- 2024

--------------
Following meetings with contest directors and World Wide Radio Operators Foundation leadership, the organizers of CQ World Wide contests have restored eligibility for awards to qualifying amateurs from Russia and Belarus. That policy change took effect during the weekend of the CQ World Wide RTTY contest, which took place on the 28th and 29th of September.
CQ World Wide Contest Director John Dorr, K1AR, announced on the contest blog that the elimination of those operators' eligibility for award plaques -- a decision made two years ago -- was never formally incorporated into any contest rules; it was merely a policy statement. That policy is no longer in effect, bringing the contests into alignment with so many other competitions around the world.

WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS - FAITH.
Combining the often separated worlds of faith and technology, the
newly released book Jesus, Faith, & Antennas by Gerald Tausch offers
an innovative perspective that bridges ham radio, electronics, and
faith through a personal and technical journey.
Aimed at amateur radio enthusiasts and readers interested in both
technology and spirituality, this book provides a comprehensive guide
to transmitting radio signals across multiple antennas while
reflecting on lifes deeper questions of belief, morality, and human
connection.
In Jesus, Faith, & Antennas, the author takes readers on a dual
journey one through decades of hands-on experience with radio and
electronics and another into the more philosophical realms.
The core of the book introduces a revolutionary technique for
transmitting signals across multiple antennas, a method that
challenges traditional amateur radio practices, and is presented with
clear, step-by-step instructions. This practical guidance opens up
new possibilities for hobbyists and professionals alike, especially
those seeking innovative approaches to antenna configuration and
signal transmission.

IARU HANDLES 1,000TH REQUEST FOR AMATEUR SATELLITE FREQUENCY
The International Amateur Radio Union, which coordinates the radio
frequencies used by ham radio satellites, announced that it recently
processed request number 1,000 for a satellite frequency.
IARU's Satellite Frequency Coordination Panel has faced new challenges
in recent years with the increasing popularity and growth of CubeSats.
With less onerous costs to launch these small satellites, the focus
has been on carefully managing the spectrum and ensuring minimal
interference with terrestrial services.
The IARU issued a statement saying: "As Earth's orbit becomes more
crowded, the IARU's work in frequency coordination will remain
critical for future missions."

EME EARTH-MOON-EARTH
On Friday 18 October and Saturday 19 October 2024 the Dwingeloo Radio
Telescope will once again function as an online Earth Moon Earth
(EME) relay station for JOTA. This is a single-dish radio telescope
in the north-eastern Netherlands.
It will be online between 17:00 UTC and approximately 22.30 UTC so
that the JOTA participants can send messages to each other via the
moon. The frequency on which the JOTA groups transmit is 432.050 MHz.
This year, in addition to the 70cm band I mentioned, they will also
stream part of the 23cm band (1296 MHz 1298 MHz). Of course,
non-JOTA stations can also use this opportunity to test equipment.
QRP EME.
For example, a single Yagi antenna with sufficient elements with
approximately 50W transmitting power can be considered. This is often
sufficient in this situation because the Dwingeloo telescope is such
a sensitive receiver, they do ask the non-JOTA EME stations to
transmit around 432.100 MHz or higher so that the weak JOTA stations
will not be hindered!
These signals are offered over the internet by means of the CAMRAS
WebSDR. You can watch via the link in our "written word".
websdr.camras.nl:8901/?tune=432050.00usb
Remember to have installed the special decoder software WSJT-X .
wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html
The scouts use the mode JT65 and sub B in WSJT-X and at the same
time the option EME delay must be enabled so that the required 2.5
second delay is used. This delay is necessary to take into account the
transit time of the moon echoes.
