Southgate ARC – The place of the amateur service in the world is largely determined by the provisions of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Radio Regulations. Locally, the amateur service is regulated by relevant Australian legislation, the Australian Radio Frequency Spectrum Plan and the Amateur Licence Condition Determination which are the national derivatives of the Radio Regulations

AMSAT is proud to announce the relaunch of its Ambassador Program, an opportunity for members to share what they’ve learned about amateur radio in space with others, and, in the process, help inspire the next generation of AMSAT’ers.
ARRL member-volunteers will be part of the excitement as the 2019 International Experimental Aircraft Association annual AirVenture show gets under way this week in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
–> Weekly Club Log DX Report
Technical papers are solicited for presentation at the ARRL and TAPR Digital Communications Conference (DCC) and publication in the Conference Proceedings. Conference proceedings are published by the ARRL. Presentation at the conference (Detroit, Sept. 20-22) is not required for publication. Submission of papers are due by July 31, 2019.
As temperatures rise to 26 °C (79 °F), Martti Laine, OH2BH, reports that activity from some Arctic Circle islands begins this week. This includes OJ9A from Kataja/Inakari (EU-192) and OH9A from Lapland Islands (Selka-Sarvi — EU-126). The two islands, located in the Tornio River delta, will be active July 24 – 29, including during the Islands on the Air (IOTA) Contest.
“ Some hams depend on Lab reports and ratings to make purchase decisions. If they are to be believed any time the rankings from one of the Labs changes that they quickly order the new top dog and sell off their present radios. What a load of crap…”
High school students in Brazil are building a ground station for the amateur radio transponder on the QO-100 geostationary satellite as part of a STEM education project.

Regarding access by the Aeronautical Mobile Service to the amateur radio 144 MHz band Switzerland’s Ofcom says: ‘a possible so-called co-primary usage between both services could be examined’
A report on the USKA site says:
For us radio amateurs of course this application is a real threat, because we do not see how the amateur radio service with its many powerful 2m stations for DX connections, contests or EME and the service “Aeronautical” could stand side by side on this band without it comes to operating restrictions. The USKA has therefore sent an official letter to OFCOM on 10 July 2019 with our point of view and our concerns regarding the 2m band, as well as other requests related to the WRC 19.
OFCOM’s Head of Frequency Planning has also responded quickly, assuring that it is not a matter of depriving radio amateurs of primary use. However, a possible so-called “co-primary” usage between both services could be examined.
Of course, our goal is to preserve the sole exploitation rights of the 2m band, and we will do our utmost to avert such “co-primary” usage. We are therefore in close contact with the DARC and the ÖVSV.

A few weeks ago, C. Crane sent me one of their newest radio accessories: the CC Buds Solo Single Earbud.
Here’s the description from the C.Crane product page:
Single Earbud Optimized For Voice
The CC Buds  Solo single earpiece provides a unique advantage over traditional earbuds because it allows you to interact better with others while listening to radio, podcasts or audiobooks (your boss will love you). The integrated stereo to mono plug works with smartphones, radios, tablets, and most other audio devices.
The Solo can give you a safety advantage when running, biking, or walking because you are more likely to hear if danger approaches. The cable is Kevlar reinforced for maximum durability. It is perfect for scanner radio listening. Can work well for law enforcement when greater awareness is needed.
Audio is tuned for superior voice clarity. Included are three silicone and three compressible foam covers––sized small, medium, and large. The small covers usually fits a small ear comfortably. Standard 3.5 mm headphone jack. Cord Length 48″.
At first blush, the idea of a single earpiece smacks of vintage solid-state radios. I’ve a number of classic portables that were designed around a hard-plastic single earpiece–anyone else remember those?
In fact, my Sony ICF-5500W (above) even has a little compartment to house its custom earpiece.
The Sony ICF-550W’s unforgiving 1970s era earpiece.
In my youth, I carried a hard plastic single earpiece with me everywhere, especially at school, because it made listening to the radio and still having some situational awareness possible. [Unfortunately, I was known to listen to the radio during classes…what a renegade I was back then!]
If you, too, used those hard plastic earpieces, I doubt you’d have ever described them as “comfortable.” I never found them even remotely so. Those earpieces were functional, but the audio they produced was tinny and it was always difficult to keep them in my ear.
Think of the CC Buds Solo as the earpiece we all wish we could have had back then!
The Solo includes numerous earpiece options, a carry bag and owner’s manual.
Here are some of the CC Buds Solo pros:
- The audio quality is superb for spoken word
- The earpiece is very comfortable (see notes below)
- The audio plug allows for mono listening on stereo devices (obviously a must in 2019)
- Features a super-strong Kevlar-reinforced cord
- Includes a clothing clip that acts as strain relief
- Ships with a small, soft carry bag
So does the Solo deliver what it promises? Yes, it does.
What I really love is the number of soft silicon and foam earpieces that ship with the Solo: a total of seven options, when including the default earpiece.
If you’ve ever used in-ear earbuds, you’ll understand the importance of swapping out the soft earpieces to a size that best suits your ears––that is, to a size that makes for a comfortable seal.
The Solo might also be useful if your hearing is a bit better in one ear than the other.
Unlike single earpieces of old, it’s actually a pleasure to use the CC Buds Solo earpiece.
Before using the Solo, I would often wear only the right earpiece of my stereo earbuds when I needed to be able to hear the environment around me. This obviously isn’t ideal because the left earpiece would dangle, catch on my shirt or otherwise get in the way, and often lead to jerking out the right earpiece. Not to mention, it led to an awkward muffling (or altogether missing) of some of the sound in that other dangling earbud when stereo sound is split or processed differently for each ear. Clearly, not the best way to listen.
Note the adjustable clothing clip.
Now, when I’m driving, working, or walking, I can use the Solo clipped it to my shirt; it’s a more simple and annoyance-proof solution that allows for greater mobility and permits me to hear all of the intended sound.
I’ve only used the Solo for spoken word; primarily AM/SW broadcast band listening and for listening to podcasts.
These days, while I’ve been at work on a home renovation, podcasts have become an essential part of my day by helping me pass the time while painting, sanding, cleaning, mowing, doing yard work, or carrying out other tedious tasks. A good podcast definitely keeps it fun. The Solo makes podcast listening easy.
And of course, the Solo is also a great solution for listening to audio books, too.
I’ll admit, when I first saw the product announcement for the CC Buds Solo, I was curious if there’d still be a market for a mono earpiece. I suppose I proved it, myself, as I have found it quite useful when I don’t need the total isolation or stereo sound from two in-ear earbuds.
Well played, C.Crane!
Win a CC Buds Solo!
C.Crane kindly sent me two samples of the CC Buds Solo at no cost to me. I’ve used one for evaluation purposes and C.Crane is kindly allowing me to give the other away to a lucky SWLing Post reader.
Here’s how you can enter our Solo giveaway!
As I mentioned, I consume a lot of podcasts these days. Here are just a few you might want to check out:
What are your favorite podcasts or radio shows?
Please leave a comment with some of your favorite podcasts or radio shows for a chance to win! Next Tuesday (July 30, 2019) I’ll pick a winner at random from the comments section and ship them a brand new CC Buds Solo single earpiece courtesy of C.Crane!

No I did notg quit the group. I was taken off by good old mother nature. Wow were we taken off. If u see the storms in New York today we had them on Sat morning at 10am. We lost power I lost a couple of wire antennas but by far much less than others. One ham 15 miles south west of my qth had five trees which gave him nice shade coverage. Today he has no shade. Two ash trees two oak trees and one sugar maple pulled right out of the ground unto his house. On the way down he lost a cocouple of wire antens bplus they took out his tower and antenna at the base. Whatg a day for that guy. Atown six miles sout f me thelocal manard store had there front doors blown away. Wind speed 96 miles an hour. I got power back last nite but no internet until this afternoon. Wide spread damage. Out city alone has replaced 300 transformers and 186,000 feet of wire among other things. We still have 10,000 without power. Populatin of out town is 34000 people. I do not want to see that again I hope. It is nice to be back on air. 73’s mike kc9ldo PS Sorry about any typo errors. Guess I type to fastsometimes.
