Weekly Wrap Up

On Friday, Tony, VK7LTD, activated Knopwood Hill Nature Recreation Area, situated between Mornington and Howrah. The following Saturday, Tony, VK7LTD, and Angela, VK7AMP, activated Ralphs Bay Conservation Area, located in Lauderdale. This conservation area is a haven for both resident and migratory shorebirds. It's fantastic to see Angela, VK7AMP, and Tony, VK7LTD, sharing their passion for ham radio by activating parks together.

Phil, VK7ID, travelled to Tasman Island by helicopter, activating both the Tasman Island Summit and Tasman National Park. Located in the southeast of Tasmania, Tasman Island is part of Tasman National Park and lies just below Cape Pillar. This marked the very first activation of the Tasman Island Summit. What an incredible way to reach the island and return!

Matt, VK7MAT, took full advantage of the long weekend by activating the St Patricks Head SOTA summit, along with four park references: St Patricks Head State Reserve, Notley Gorge State Reserve, Virginstow Conservation Area, and Franklin Rivulet Conservation Area.

Rodney, VK7HAM, Al, VK7AN, Peter, VK7ZPE, and Shane, VK7SW, made their way to the North Scottsdale Regional Reserve, located on the banks of the Forester River. As soon as the team had set up their End Fed antenna, the rain began, they all piled into the Pajero, where they remained for the activation, fortunately remaining dry. There were some impressive static crashes during the activation, given all the storm activity in VK7 throughout the day.

Lance, VK7TO, got the sand between his toes while activating the BOTA reference at Legacy Beach using CW. Located in Coningham, southern VK7, this hidden gem is a localâ€Ös secret, the area offering peaceful beaches and being just a stone's throw from the D'Entrecasteaux Channel.

The end of the month is quickly approaching, so don't forget to upload your logs for a chance to receive a new Quansheng UV-K5, donated by Matt, VK7MAT. The UV-K5 will go to the operator who completes the most activations and uploads their logs between February 9, 2025, and March 31, 2025.

With daylight savings ending next month, now is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the longer daylight hoursâ€ögrab your gear, go portable, and activate a summit, park, or island!

73, Matt, VK7MAT

Digital Help Needed

Our Digital broadcast team of Clayton VK7ZCR, Gavin VK7HGO, Phil VK3PG and Ross VK7WP are urgently looking for some more people to help put the DMR Talk Group 5 and DSTAR Reflector 91C broadcasts to air each week.

If you listen to the Digital broadcasts on TG5 or 91C then it is a small step to help out and put the broadcasts to air once a month and then take callbacks after the broadcast and report numbers back to VK7WI.

If you are interested then please have a chat with Clayton VK7ZCR on email at: clayton7008(at)gmail.com.

NEWS FROM THE NORTH WEST

Due to very little traffic in recent months on the FM 70CM. Voice Repeater VK7RDR located on the Dazzler Range, it was decided to add SSTV Analog as an additional mode to this repeater.

In addition, software for connecting to an International SSTV Gateway has also been implemented on VK7RDR.

At this time, the Gateway has 6 active SSTV Repeater Stations DB0BEN, DB0PTB, DB0UHF, HB9ZF, PI1DFT and now VK7RDR.

It is activated daily for a 12 hour trial period from approx. 1000 hrs - 2200 hrs and transmits a beacon image at 5 mins after the hour, showing current active gateways.

Users please note that if they wish their image to be transmitted to the gateway, a 1750 FSKID Tone for approx. 2 Secs at the start of the transmission is required, transmissions without the 1750 tone will only be relayed locally on VK7RDR.

CW ID of your call sign should also be activated to ensure all info is included in the date & time stamp.

All images are available for viewing on the following Web (the actual Links 

www.vk7ax.id.au

worldsstv.com (look for VK7RDR)

International gateway/repeater stations [ max.cqsstv.com/VHF.php (look for 6 active gateway stations)

Regular Local stations using the repeater & gateway are VK7KT, VK7MD and VK7AX.

Remote stations can connect via Allstar Node 28348 and at this time include VK3EME and VK3NDH.

ZL4OI regularly connects via Allstar 28348 using IaxRpt Web Transceive mode to access.

This facility is open for all amateurs and we encourage its use in an attempt to activate an otherwise unused repeater which was destined for closure.

ENJOY

Northern Tasmanian Amateur Radio Club Incorporated

www.ntarc.net 

Itâ€Ös amazing what drops into your YouTube “You might like” feed sometimes, this week there was a video that was titled “How to make a simple Morse Code transmitter for 80 Metres”, nothing unusual or surprising with that you might say….. However looking more closely at the picture of the populated printed circuit board and its construction method using diagonal hacksaw cuts to make solder islands, looked very familiar!  

It was in-fact a project from a few years ago that Nic VK7WW designed and constructed to help celebrate 100 years or a century of amateur radio in Tasmania. An 80 Metre, crystal locked, QRP, CW 1 Watt transmitter project called the “Cent”.

The YouTube video was made by Jordan VK3ACU, who is situated in Victoria and covers his building of the project and its subsequent testing. Jordan presented a very clean compact version of the build and then put it through its paces. With his test set up it was easily heard using a remote SDR in Perth Western Australia, this would have been a distance of about 3000 Kilo Metres. He followed up showing a live CW contact approximately 700 Kilo Metres away in New South Wales.     

This is only a short video, it is well produced and narrated and well worth the eight minutes to watch.

The link is included in the text version of this broadcast.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XIBcEhON3M

At morning tea last week it was good to see a couple of project updates of works in progress.

Firstly Trevor VK7TB, had his new Voltage Controlled Oscillator or VCO that he is designing and constructing. He had just finished machining a flywheel to attach to the drive shaft of a 1930s Bendix worm drive gearbox. The reduction gearbox provides very fine shaft rotation control on a variable capacitor. The precision machining of the flywheel was certainly obvious, with its smooth fit onto the gearbox drive shaft even without the grub screw being tightened. The overall tactile feedback was incredible, both from the point of just enough momentum from the fly wheel to the zero back lash in the gear assembly, all giving a very positive control effect. The feel was certainly reminiscent of “Top End” test instruments that I have been lucky enough to use over the years. 

I think we might have to get Trevor in on a Club Technical Night for a bit more of an in-depth run down on this VCOs “from the ground up construction”.   

The other work in progress came from Stuart VK7FEAT, who is collaborating with a friend to design and 3D print some “Radomes” or environmental shields to go over some omnidirectional antennas in the 1 Gig region. The first prototype looks great and hopefully it will fit their requirements otherwise we may see a few more variations.

I am sure we will get progress reports from both Trevor and Stuart.

As always pictures will be available on the NTARC Web site under “Blogs” for this broadcast. NTARC Blogs

REAST March Event

https://www.reast.asn.au/2025/03/13/reast-visits-aunty-abc/

A huge thank you to Damien VK7SD and Allen VK7KAN for their fantastic, interactive tour of the ABC studio and technical areas on Wednesday, 12 March 2025.

A group of 27 attendees explored the impressive ABC facilities, starting with the Radio Studios, where we split into two groups to learn about the high-tech digital studios and the vital roles of presenters and producers. We even had the pleasure of hearing from the Producer of the Night Radio programming, who shared insights into his role.

Next, we visited the Music Producing Suite, where musicians can be recorded or perform live for broadcast. From there, we stepped into the TV Interviewing Suite, used for live crosses with journalists, special guests, and dignitaries.

Our journey continued into the Newsroom, the bustling hub where journalists, graphic specialists, social media teams, and news gatherers work throughout the day. We then moved into the TV News Studio control room, where Damien and Allen walked us through the evening news production, explaining how content integration, queueing, graphics, and sound are all managed.

In the main TV and Weather Presenting Studio, Damien demonstrated the huge LED weather screen, along with the cameras, lighting, and autocue systems.

We then stepped outside to the garage, where the impressive satellite Outside Broadcast (OB) truck is housed, before heading into the Radio and TV Master Control Room and Technical Services.

Damien and Allen also shared insights into the many projects theyâ€Öre involved in, including the development of replacement electronics used throughout the ABC network across Australia.

Once again, a massive thank you to Damien and Allen for their time and expertise in showcasing the incredible ABC facilities in Hobart.
