WWFF, SOTA, POTA and IOTA
Weekly Wrap-Up
Stuart, VK7FADZ, travelled to Hartz Peak Summit in Hartz Mountains National Park. The summit stands at 1,253 metres. He made 6 contacts on the 40 metre band, earning 13 SOTA points for the activation.
Travis, VK7VXT, headed to Collins Bonnet Summit, the second highest peak in the Wellington Range. He logged 4 QSOs and added 13 SOTA points to his tally. Travis had planned two activations in the Great Western Tiers but had to postpone them due to high river levels blocking access to the trails.
Angela, VK7AMP, and Tony, VK7LTD, activated Calverts Hill Nature Reserve in Sandford. The reserve is notable for being home to the endangered Eucalyptus morrisbyi, a species found only in Tasmania. Both Angela and Tony enjoyed a steady stream of contacts during their activations.
Hayden, VK7HH, brought along his camera and radio for an activation at Truganini Conservation Area. He made 18 contacts during the activation, using an Icom 7610 powered by an Anker Solix portable power station, a very capable setup for park activations!
Rodney, VK7HAM, Peter, VK7ZPE, and Al, VK7AN, spent their Wednesday afternoon activating the Tamar Conservation Area. Covering around 4,633 hectares along the Tamar River estuary, the area has been activated 15 times by local and interstate activators.
POTA is expanding its list of activatable references to include rivers that contribute to preserving Australia's story and heritage. To qualify for activation, you must be within 100 feet of the riverbank or on the river itself. Hayden, VK7HH, and Matt, VK7MAT, are currently working on adding eligible VK7 rivers to the POTA database.
VKFF is currently looking for volunteers to support the program in several roles. Available positions include a Boomerang Award Manager, who will oversee the award that recognises activators and hunters for logging the same VKFF reference multiple times. Two Overseas Award Managers to process VKFF awards earned by international operators. In addition, regional promotional representatives are being sought for each state or territory. These reps will work with their respective state managers to help promote the program at a local level.
If you're interested in volunteering, please contact Paul, VK5PAS, VKFF National Manager, at vkffaustralia(at)gmail.com

Statewide SSTV Nights
A “light hearted” net night that saw the following participants, VK7s – EV, ZAB, AX, OO, TW, ZCF, ZSB and KT all sharing fifty photos.
The main themes were:
2025 Dark Mofo and fireworks from Cracker Night
Single propeller aircraft, fighters from World War 2 through to a Piper Tomahawk
The Kenny Everett show with Captain Kremmen and Carla
Some horsing about
Complaints handling strategies
Other highlights were:
A vintage car with a discreet HF antenna setup
The addition of an F-bomb to the weapons arsenal
A Tassie accurate clock that doesnâ€Öt need to show minutes
The size of Uranus compared to planet Earth
An “upside down” house at Tasmazia, a set of mazes near Sheffield
A misunderstanding on the meaning of bands
Dummies for Windows – and not the operating system
Mister Squiggle and Blackboard, who first appeared on TV on the 1st July 1959 – does that make you feel old?
A tongue twisting cartoon rhyme
What do you do if you find a spider on the toilet roll
And where do duck farts come from?
Again Tony VK7AX interconnected VK7RJG to his SSTV International Gateway and VK7s exchanged photos with PC1K and PA3EKI in the Netherlands. Remember to leave a 30 second break between transmissions to allow the European counties a chance to send photos. Tony will connect the gateway again next week at 6:30 pm.
Note - Ken VK7KRJâ€Ös and Steve VK7OOâ€Ös fully automatic 24/7 monitoring sites allow anyone who has sent SSTV pictures the ability to check them on their pages almost immediately, any time, both South and North Tasmania.
If you missed the net there are archives of these SSTV nights on Kenâ€Ös and Steveâ€Ös SSTV websites or on NTARCâ€Ös website under blogs. Please remember to use your own photos or those that are copyright free.

Northern Tasmanian Amateur Radio Club Incorporated
www.ntarc.net
The main event at last weekâ€Ös club room technical night was provided by Trevor VK7TB ably assisted by Colin VK7ZCF.
It was a working demonstration of band pass filter characteristics. It covered the use of a spectrum analyser when analysing the characteristics of a crystal band pass filter. A spectrum analyser has the ability to visually show the voltage or level of all frequencies between upper and lower limits defined by the user.
This particular spectrum analyser was a Rigol DS-A815 which also incorporated a sweep generator. Simplistically the sweep generator side of the spectrum analyser generated a constantly increasing sinewave frequency between two set limits at a very accurate voltage or amplitude. If the sweep generator is fed into the spectrum analyser input you should get a horizontal line showing that the sweeping frequency level is constant. If anything is placed between the sweep generator and input you then have a visual representation of the effect that it is exhibiting on the signal at various frequencies.
Trevor started by connecting a high quality German filter unit that was in the same league as used in Collins communications receivers. He was able to display the characteristics of the pass band filter, namely, centre frequency, bandwidth and the filter slope. Trevor also visually demonstrated the change to characteristics when adjusting the filters trim capacitors.
He then moved on to looking at testing a single crystal. Needless to say he had previously designed and constructed a test jig, HiHi. This allowed an individual crystal to be held for testing as well as matching its impedance to the 50 Ohms of the test equipment it was connected to. This allowed him to display the series resonance pass band of the crystal under test. Trevor came prepared, he had a bank of 100 crystals, purchased at the same time and identical within manufacturing repeatability and cost. These are the same crystals mentioned in a broadcast last year, the ones that were subjected to hundreds of tests by his Vector Analyser to test and measure then record all working equivalent parameters of the crystals. He was able to show the variations in characteristics by randomly picking crystals from his wide selection
As might be obvious now Trevor has a need for a crystal filter and is currently focusing his research towards this. For those technically minded Trevor is designing a ten pole crystal ladder filter with 100 dB out of band rejection and 0.1 dB band pass ripple. To achieve this he requires crystal matching to within 10 Hz with a “Q” greater than 160,000.
We then moved over to a computer. Trevor showed us an interactive programme that is a “Crystal Ladder Filter Calculator” called DISHAL by DJ6EV. Now thatâ€Ös a pretty good starting point for this work in progress!
Thank you Trevor and Colin for a very informative night and demonstration of what is often only talked about.
As always pictures will be available on the NTARC Web site under “Blogs” for this broadcast. NTARC Blogs

GRAND CLUBROOMS REOPENING and
Forum Night - Essential Shack Test Equipment
https://www.youtube.com/live/lXzxilZ-KiI?si=4F_Gux4KMJxfHnfU
Our special guests who came along to the grand re-opening were Rob, Dan VK3DNO and Uta from ICOM Australia who also bought along some ICOM merch for prizes, thanks guys. We also saw Morgan VK6MTF who did his Foundation licence with us a while ago.
Our grand re-opening was performed with drum roll and huge thank yous to Anders VK7TCP, Hayden VK7HH, the Hobart City Council who agreed to replace the ceiling and Techquity especially Christian their sparky.
We then headed into our June Forum Night asking people what their top three pieces of shack test equipment is and why. We started with Martin VK7GN who bought along his portable antenna go-box complete with a RigExpert with a screen that is clearly visible in the sunlight. Rod VK7TRF demonstrated his power supply, multimeter, and Rigol digital oscilloscope, while Darren VK4GEO and Andy from the UK impressed with their collections of multimeters, RigExperts, TinySAs, and nanoVNAs. Steve VK7OO displayed dummy loads for both UHF and HF, and Richard VK7ZBX and Rex VK7MO showcased advanced microwave test equipment including noise meters, weak signal sources, and even a differential GPS rig for precision alignment.
Also featured were Matt VK7MRâ€Ös digital signal source and LibreVNA reaching up to 6.5GHz, and Paul VK7PEPâ€Ös well-stocked kit including a RigExpert, SDRKits VNA, component testers, and an UltraSA. Colin in VK uses a classic Marconi 2955 test set and a homemade microphone tester. Jim VK7JZ, Dan VK3DNO, and nearly everyone present (except Rex) had a NanoVNA. Stephen VK7ST brought a SARK analyser and a Rigol scope, while Morgan VK6MTF showed his Leatherman and RF Explorer for wireless mic tuning. Rounding out the gear parade were Hayden VK7HHâ€Ös HP 8920 service monitor, Justin VK7TWâ€Ös universal RF connector kit and IFR Com120B, and Matt VK7MATâ€Ös connector box, RigExpert, and multimeter â€ö truly a toolkit treasure trove!
Thanks to all involved and if you missed it you can catch the forum on the REAST YouTube Channel and marvel at the 4K resolution.

July Presentation
Chirpsounder Technology and Propagation Tool Interpretation
https://www.reast.asn.au/event/chirpsounder-technology-propagation-tool-interpretation/
This Wednesday night we have a special presentation - ever wondered how the Bureau of Meteorology or the Australian Antarctic Division or La Trobe Uni gather data about what the ionosphere is doing above them?
This presentation will be given by Dr Stephen Newbery with assistance from Dr Andrew Klekocuik and will explore chirpsounder technology that has been deployed to gather data about what the ionosphere is doing – realtime.
Dr Stephen undertook his PhD at Latrobe Uni on digital (phase) pulsed ionosondes and he did work in the US on the development of a pulse compressed ionosonde (Digisonde Portable Sounders). Latrobe Uni was known for the ionospheric research project called SuperDARN radar which included the TIGER HF radar antenna array on Bruny Island.
The presentation will also include some information about how amateurs can easily interpret some of the Ionospheric Prediction data that is available locally and globally on the interwebs.
When: this Wednesday 2nd July from 7:30pm
Where: Queens Domain Clubrooms and Streaming (REAST Youtube Streaming)

August Presentation
Antarctic Diary Recollections
https://www.reast.asn.au/event/reast-presentation-antarctic-diary-recollections/
August will see a very special historical presentation from Andrew Johns VK7AJ about his Dadâ€Ös Antarctic Diary from the International Geophysical Year in 1957.
The diary was unearthed in a box at the South Hobart Resource Tip Shop and traced back to Andrew (thatâ€Ös a story in itself!!).
David Johns VK0DJ/VK1DJ/VK7DJ headed south to Macquarie Island in 1954 and then to Mawson in 1957 for the Geophysical Year which started in July 1957 and ended in December 1958. The aim of the International Geophysical Year was for the simultaneous collection of data on a world-wide basis to take place and Davidâ€Ös physics role was to gather data about cosmic rays.
There is some wonderful insight into life in Antarctica in 1957 and many stories will be told.

Space News
Rubin Observatory Now Live
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, perched atop a mountain in Chile, has just released its first images captured by the worldâ€Ös largest digital camera â€ö and they are nothing short of spectacular. These high-resolution shots showcase stunning astronomical features both within and beyond our galaxy, including vast, painterly scenes of swirling galaxies and colorful gas clouds. ABC environment reporter Peter de Kruijff and astrophysicist Jonti Horner from the University of Southern Queensland both marveled at the extraordinary detail, with Horner describing the images as “breathtaking” and remarkably sharp, even when zoomed in to the farthest points.
What sets these images apart is not just their clarity, but the sheer scale they cover â€ö something other high-tech telescopes struggle to achieve. The secret lies in the Rubin Observatoryâ€Ös powerful setup: a telescope with an 8.4-metre-wide mirror funnels light into a massive, state-of-the-art camera. This camera doesnâ€Öt just capture high detail; it captures high detail across expansive areas of space, enabling researchers to view vast cosmic scenes with unmatched resolution and scope.
The cameraâ€Ös specs are staggering. While most smartphones boast around 12 megapixels and high-end digital cameras about 100 megapixels, the Rubin Observatoryâ€Ös camera dwarfs them all with a colossal 3,200 megapixels. Weighing in at 3,000 kilograms â€ö nearly a kilogram per megapixel â€ö itâ€Ös a technological marvel. This breakthrough allows scientists to explore the universe in unprecedented detail, opening new doors for discovery and deepening our understanding of the cosmos.
