BREAKING NEWS: ARRESTS MADE IN DEATH OF CALIF. AMATEUR
STEPHEN/ANCHOR: We begin this week’s report with breaking news. As Newsline went to production, police in California released information about the death of amateur radio operator Henry Stange WA6RXZ and announced that they have charged two people with homicide. Henry’s body was found on June 2 in a shallow grave in Joshua Tree National Park. An three-month investigation by the Murrieta Police Department and the San Bernardino County Sheriff resulted in the arrests of Curtis Krueger, age 30, and Ashlie Stapp, age 27, on the 29th of August.
Further details about the killing were not immediately available.
Henry Stange, who lived in Murrieta, was 54 years old.

RADIO RESPONDS TO EMERGENCIES IN VENEZUELA AND HAWAII
STEPHEN/ANCHOR: With the recent earthquake in Venezuela and hurricane in Hawaii, it’s been a challenging time for hams involved in emergency communications. We turn to Kevin Trotman N5PRE for this recap on Venezuela.
KEVIN: A magnitude 7.3 earthquake rocked the northern coast of Venezuela and parts of the Caribbean on August 21st and shock waves could be felt as far east as Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Grenada and as far west as Bogota, Colombia. The U.S. Coast and Geological Survey said because of its depth of nearly 77 miles the quake did not cause major damage or lead to any casualties in Caracas but buildings were evacuated nonetheless. Scattered power outages were reported. The YV5RNE National Emergency Network of the Radio Club Venezolano activated on 7.088 MHZ but officials later reported there was no loss of life and damage was limited. Although cellular communications and scattered outages had been reported, hams networks functioned well on HF, VHF and even EchoLink.
For Amateur Radio Newsline I’m Kevin Trotman N5PRE.
STEPHEN/ANCHOR: In Hawaii, emergency amateur radio operations became active after Hurricane Lane stormed into the region. Hawaii ARES and the Salvation Army Emergency Radio Network were among those responding to keep communications open and WinLink was used for formal handling of messages. Although the storm dumped as much as 19 inches of rain on parts of Hawaii’s Big Island, the region was spared the worst of a direct hit and the hurricane was downgraded to a tropical storm by the 24th of August. At Newsline’s production time, residents and hams alike were keeping an eye out, however, for the next event on the horizon: Tropical Storm Miriam.

ARRL PRESIDENT SPEAKS AT WEST VIRGINIA CONVENTION
STEPHEN/ANCHOR: Should the ARRL rebrand itself to appeal to a new generation? The organization’s new president posed that possibility at a recent appearance in West Virginia. Jim Damron N8TMW was there.
JIM DAMRON: The 60th annual West Virginia State ARRL convention was held August 25th in Central West Virginia at the WVU Jackson’s Mill Conference Center near Weston. A highlight of the convention was an address by ARRL president Rick Roderick K5UR. In his 45-minute keynote speech to a capacity crowd, president Roderick asked:

— New series of events will offer insight and instruction on planning, design and construction of audio hardware and DSP —

New York, NY — In the infancy of the professional audio industry, gear was commonly constructed by the engineers who operated the hardware. This year’s 145 Audio Engineering Society International Convention, taking place in New York, October 17 – 20 at the Jacob Javits Center, will host a series of events following the tradition of do-it-yourself innovation and promoting the understanding of audio technology, in partnership with the Audio Builders Workshop – a workgroup of the AES Boston Section. These presentations and hands-on demonstrations will offer attendees the chance to learn more about audio device design and construction, as well as the opportunity to build their own circuit to take home, while exploring a showcase of projects from other DIY audio enthusiasts and professionals.

Audio Builders Workshop events at AES New York 2018 will present an insider introduction to this popular field of creative expression through audio gear design and construction. Activities begin with an open-to-all Audio Builders Workshop exhibition and educational space setup in the Javits Center main lobby on Wednesday, October 17, offering a first-hand look at DIY projects and technologies. Following that is the All Access Technical Program’s Audio Builders Workshop mini-track on Saturday, October 20. Single-day All Access registration is available for AES New York registrants wishing to attend specific All Access events like the Audio Builders Workshop.

Sessions such as “Build Your Own Recording Equipment” will offer insight into the tools, skills and budget needed to create one’s first piece of gear, while “Design and Build Your Own Gear” will show what it takes to design a circuit, put it in a box, and power it up, featuring insight from Bob Katz and centering on his DIY project, the “tube blender.” Additionally, in “The State of the Art of Do It Yourself Audio,” Audio Builders Workshop founder Owen Curtin will take a look at ways that the DIY market has exploded in popularity and how some quality pieces are now inexpensively in reach for those willing to wield a soldering iron.

“Recording engineers walk away from our workshops with a deeper understanding of the equipment they use every day, and many get the bug to learn other forms of engineering,” states Owen Curtin, Audio Builders Workshop founder and chair for the AES New York Convention. “People come to our events having never soldered or coded, but they have a curiosity for how it all works. Introducing people to the DIY community and exposing them to experts in the field leads them to quickly pick up the skills and confidence to start building their own gear. I started these events as an excuse to assemble experts who could answer my own questions. To do that, I invited experts to come to meet each other and novices to come to learn with me, which has led to a community of teachers and students who support one another. What started out as a one-day seminar has grown into a video series, monthly meeting, and a team of members who will help foster the DIY community at this year’s AES New York Convention.”

Further Audio Builders Workshop events demonstrate the latest techniques with hands-on aspects of audio design and construction. With programming custom plugins or embedding one’s own code into hardware now being accessible to those with almost no coding experience, customizing audio gear is no longer limited to the analog domain, and DSP functions can be created that aren’t otherwise feasible, as shown in the presentation “Code It Yourself: DIY-DSP.” Attendees will also get an interactive look at analog circuit design in the “Audio Builders Workshop” exhibit, which will walk through the process of designing and testing a circuit, with parts provided by Mouser Electronics, which visitors will be able to keep upon completion.

As with any AES Convention presentation, education and inspiration play leading roles at all levels. In the presentation “Educating Audio Builders,” attendees will be inspired by the wide range of possibilities brought to light by educators from an array of institutions offering review of their DIY Audio-related programs. Additionally, during the “Custom Gear Show” portion of the Audio Builders Workshop events, custom audio creators will be on-hand to showcase some of their most successful creations, along with time for questions and networking with other audio builders.

The AES New York 2018 Convention will offer four days of Technical Program presentations, workshops, discussion panels, and more (October 17 – 20), as well as the year’s largest dedicated professional audio showcase and exhibition, taking place the first three days of the show (October 17 – 19), featuring the largest-ever AES Convention offering of free-to-attend workshops and tutorials on the exhibition floor and throughout the convention’s demo room areas with Exhibits-Plus badge registration. Complimentary Exhibits-Plus badges are available to AES Members or by using VIP promo code AES18NOW with online registration though the full convention experience, including the Audio Builders Workshop are only available with All Access registration. Early Registration discounts are still available. AES Members and Student Members receive substantial discounts. Visit aesshow.com for the latest information.

As an amateur astronomer, I knew it was only a matter of time before the astronomical community became involved to save WWV.  Specifically, it’s a group of mostly amateur astronomers who observe and record occultations.

What’s an occultation?  It’s the term when a solar system object passes in front of, and blocks out a star.  Why is this important to observe?  Lunar occultations are the easiest to observe (if the star is bright enough, one can do a crude observation with binoculars or even the unaided eye).  But there is very valuable science to be had with smaller objects.  When a dwarf planet [like Pluto] or an asteroid – passes in front of, and “blinks” out or blocks the light of a star – measurements can be taken that reveal the dwarf planet or asteroid’s size/diameter.  We can even determine if an object is round/oval – or maybe cigar-shaped when multiple ground observers record and accurately time how long the star “blinks” (or if the star doesn’t get covered by the asteroid in some locations but does in others). Okay, that is Occultations 101 (if you are interested in learning more, see the link).

Credit: Upcoming occultation – showing the path where the occultation is visible – from IOTA: International Occultation Timing Association

Note 1: In 2017, amateur astronomers using a 3” telescope determined that an asteroid had a moon!I had a 3” telescope, back in the 1970s, when I was a kid!

Credit: Sky and Telescope Magazine & IOTA: the International Occultation Timing Association

Note 2: Multiple occultation observations involving the dwarf planet Pluto are helping scientists navigate the New Horizons space probe (and to identify hazards) as it speeds through space to its next target – nicknamed Ultima Thule – beyond Pluto (on January 1st, 2019).

Equipment used to record and document these fleeting events (some graze occultations only last fractions of a second) requires – you guessed it – time stamped video devices.  Back in the old days before video and other advanced equipment, astronomers would sit a shortwave radio next to the telescope with a tape recorder to audibly capture & record the time signal with the observer noting the start/stop of the event (we’ve come a long way since then – time stamped equipment has advanced this from “approximately” to “exact science”!).

The main point of this blog entry: astronomers have been asked to sign the White House petition to maintain NIST stations funding. Sky & Telescope Magazine, if they haven’t already, will be posting an article with an interview that they conducted with one of the leading occultation observers that includes a link to the petition on their web site.

Let’s hope this momentum continues to build – and that it makes a difference!

A team of moonbounce enthusiasts expect to activate the 32-meter antenna GHY-6 at Goonhilly, on the Lizard Peninsular in Cornwall (IO70jb) in the UK on September 1 – 2, operating as GB6GHY. The group, including G8GTZ, G8GKQ, and G4NNS, will be on the HB9Q logger while operational, which should be between 0800 and 1200 UTC, but “earlier if possible,” they’ve said.

GB6GHY will concentrate on 3.4 GHz on September 1 and 5.7 GHz on September 2, with the ability to switch bands immediately.

“Anyone with a relatively small dish (3-meter or less) should be able to work us,” their announcement said. The European Space Agency is undertaking a project to upgrade Goonhilly Earth Station to track missions to the Moon and Mars. The work will see the GHY-6 antenna — which carried the 1985 Live Aid concert around the world — upgraded over the span of 2 years.

Everyone was on the same wavelength as amateur radio enthusiasts from all over the area gathered at the Edmond Town Hall on August 26 for the annual Western Connecticut Hamfest.

The event, presented by the Candlewood Amateur Radio Association, kicked off at 8 am and lasted until 12:30 pm.

Attendees were encouraged to take part in a VE session (ham radio exam), fall ARES Forum, and talk-in on CARA Repeater. The forum, hosted by the Amateur Radio Emergency Service, was the seasonal gathering for radio operators who work for towns to get radio transmissions out in times of emergency. The talk-in allowed licensed radio operators to listen to and/or speak with those who were already on site at the hamfest.

There were also demonstrations, tailgating, refreshments, raffles, and door prizes.

More than a dozen vendors parked in the town hall’s lower back parking lot and displayed items on tables in front of their cars. At the swap meet, purveyors like Craig Ross of Danbury sold a variety of different radios to people interested in expanding their collection.

Many ham radio fans visiting the Western Connecticut Hamfest came out specifically for the community and friendly atmosphere that the event naturally brings.

Rob Nebel of Greenwich, whose call sign is NLALF, gathered with a group of friends at the event, along with former Newtown resident Larry Lovell (N1YBA).

Also on site at the 2018 Western Connecticut Hamfest were musicians James Surprenant (AB1DQ) and Richard Pizzoferrato (K1RSU). The two are part of a Hamband, and they performed different songs with their accordions for attendees passing by.

Mr Surprenant said they are both affiliated with multiple radio clubs and enjoy coming out to the event every year to entertain guests.

IAW 2018 — > The 5th International  Air Ambulance Week will take place  on

8-16  September.  The  event  is primarily  intended  to  help  support  and

generate  donations  for  flying medical  services around  the  world.   See

http://www.radio-amateur-events.org/IAW/index.htm for complete information.

 

IOTA:  PROPOSED ADDITIONS  TO  THE LIST OF  VALID  ISLAND  GROUPS —> On 31

August  the  following  announcement  was  published  on  the  IOTA  website

(https://iota-world.org/):  “IOTA  Programme Structure  A.4.2  in  the  2018

Directory provides for a review of the list of  valid island groups to  take

place every five years. The last such occasion took place in  June 2014 with

the announcement made at the  50th anniversary celebration  of IOTA’s launch

the following month. It resulted in 11 new groups being added.

This time IOTA Management has decided to bring forward the review to  give a

chance for any  new groups  announced  to  be activated in 2019,  the target

year. The review process is scheduled to start with an  announcement of some

additions at this  year’s RSGB Convention  and  may  possibly finish  with a

top-up at next year’s Friedrichshafen Ham Radio event.

Any new groups will be very few  in  number, probably between  5 and 10.  It

should be noted that  only proposals  that meet  the  programme criteria  at

Sections B and C of the  IOTA Programme Structure  chapter  (2018 Directory)

will be considered and, as guidance, it is unlikely that any additions  will

be made to the Europe list because it is already generously covered.

Proposals for consideration should be sent to G3KMA  (g3kma[@]dsl.pipex.com)

by 1 October with a short  justification (one paragraph please) in  terms of

the programme criteria”. [TNX G3KMA]
