==> AGENDA FOR WRC-11 POSES OPPORTUNITY AND CHALLENGES FOR HAMS
The next World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-11)
<http://www.itu.int/ITU-R/index.asp?category=conferences&rlink=wrc-11&la
ng=en> is scheduled for fall 2011. These periodic conferences of the
Member States of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
consider allocations to the various radio services -- including the
Amateur Radio Service -- and evaluate what new technologies and
applications should be addressed by future conferences.
The agenda for WRC-11, developed by the delegates at the last WRC in
Geneva in 2007 (WRC-07), was formally adopted by the ITU Council in
2008. There are 25 agenda items addressing potential new or revised
spectrum allocations to existing services. Of most interest to amateurs
is agenda item 1.23, "to consider an allocation of about 15 kHz in parts
of the band 415-526.5 kHz to the amateur service on a secondary basis,
taking into account the need to protect existing services."
"This agenda item is the highest item on my long term priority list,"
said ARRL Technical Relations Manager Brennan Price, N4QX. "We are
fortunate that WRC-11 presents an opportunity for a new secondary
allocation in the medium waves. While the outcome in 2011 is far from
certain, our experience in other bands -- most notably 30 meters --
indicates Amateur Radio's compatibility with certain other services as a
secondary user."
Price said that some WRCs have posed great challenges for Amateur Radio,
with blocks of spectrum potentially at risk. "This was the case at
WRC-03 and WRC-07, which posed a very real potential reallocation of
portions of the 40 meter band in Region 2 to HF broadcasting," he said.
"The agenda for WRC-11 does not pose any threats to Amateur Radio as
clear or as overt as those faced in prior years." Price and ARRL
Technical Relations Specialist Jon Siverling, WB3ERA, are monitoring
developments on a number of other agenda items that could affect Amateur
Radio if they take unanticipated turns, including:
* Agenda item 1.14, considering requirements for and implementation of
the radiolocation service (radar) between 30-300 MHz.
* Agenda item 1.15, considering possible allocations between 3-50 MHz
for oceanographic radar applications.
* Agenda item 1.19, considering regulatory measures to enable
software-defined and cognitive radio systems.
* Agenda item 1.22, examining the effect of emissions from short-range
devices.
"Oceanographic radar is perhaps our biggest defensive issue," Price
said. "Fortunately, its proponents, at least domestically and at least
at this time, are acknowledging that sharing with Amateur Radio would be
problematic."
WRC-11 is tentatively scheduled for October 24-November 18, 2011, in
Geneva.
==> ARRL SEEKS NOMINATIONS FOR ANNUAL AWARDS
Each year, the ARRL Board of Directors has the opportunity to select
recipients for a number of awards that honor Amateur Radio operators.
These awards, designed to recognize educational and technological
pursuits in Amateur Radio, represent many categories, including
education and technical excellence. If you know of someone who deserves
to be recognized by the ARRL for the service and dedication they have
shown on behalf of Amateur Radio, now is the time to submit their name
for consideration. Nominations and supporting information should be
submitted to ARRL Headquarters by March 31, 2009. Nomination forms and
further information on these awards are found on the ARRL Web site
<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/edunom.html>.
The ARRL Herb S. Brier Instructor of the Year Award
<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/award/herb-tor.html> goes to a volunteer
Amateur Radio instructor. The ARRL Professional Educator of the Year
Award <http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/award/pey-tor.html> is given to a
professional teacher who has incorporated Amateur Radio into his or her
class curriculum.
The ARRL Microwave Development Award
<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/instructor/instructor/awards.html> is
presented to a licensed radio amateur (or to individuals who are
licensed radio amateurs) who contribute to the development of the
Amateur Radio microwave bands.
The ARRL Technical Service Award
<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/instructor/instructor/awards.html>
recognizes a licensed radio amateur (or individuals who are licensed
radio amateurs) who provides Amateur Radio technical assistance or
training to others.
The ARRL Technical Innovation Award
<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/instructor/instructor/awards.html> is

The ARRL also offers an award to recognize someone who has served
admirably as an ARRL Section Manager. The Knight Distinguished Service
Award recognizes exceptionally notable contributions by a Section
Manager to the health and vitality of the League. The first such award
was presented to Joe T. Knight, W5PDY (now SK) in 2003 -- for whom the
award was named -- in recognition of his exemplary service not only as
the ARRL New Mexico Section Manager for more than a quarter century, but
also for his willingness to share his knowledge and skills.
The Knight Distinguished Service Award may be awarded to an ARRL Section
Manager who has distinguished himself or herself in accordance with the
following ideals: Exceptionably notable contributions over and extended
period of time within his or her Section and beyond; demonstrated
efforts that have contributed to the health and vitality of the ARRL and
its Field Organization, and displayed actions that are in the spirit of
the unselfish contributions of Joe T. Knight, W5PDY. Nominations may be
made by any ARRL member and shall be accompanied by a narrative of the
accomplishments of the nominee identifying the long term contributions
of the nominee to ARRL and its Field Organization.

Ewald, WV1X, via e-mail <wv1x@arrl.org>; or by phone at 860-594-0265.
==> APPLICATION DEADLINE APPROACHING FOR ARRL TEACHERS INSTITUTE ON
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
Donors to the ARRL Education & Technology Program (ETP) fund
<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/tbp/> have made it possible to offer seven
sessions of the Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology this summer
<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/tbp/ti.html>. According to Education
Services Manager Debra Johnson, K1DMJ, she is receiving applications for
the Teachers Institute daily, but seats are still available in most
sessions: "If you are a teacher -- or you know one who may be interested
in exploring the world of wireless technology in their classroom -- now
is the time to apply!"
This year, Teachers Institute sessions will be offered in Roswell, New
Mexico (May 26-29); Rocklin, California (June 15-18); Tucson, Arizona
(June 15-18); Viera, Florida (June 23-26); Berrien Springs, Michigan
(June 29-July 2); Dayton, Ohio (July 6-9), and Newington, Connecticut
(July 27-30). Educators interested in the New Mexico, California and
Arizona sessions need to apply no later than April 15, while those
interested in the sessions in Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Connecticut
have until May 15 to apply.
Johnson said that wireless technologies "underpin so many areas of daily
life. It is increasingly important for today's education to include at
least some basic understanding of the technology involved," she said.
"One of ARRL's goals for the Education & Technology Program, and the
professional development opportunity that we have developed with the
Teachers Institute, is to build wireless technology literacy among
America's citizens. It's equally essential to provide an opportunity at
an early age for students who will become tomorrow's scientists and
engineers to engage their imagination with the fascinating world of
radio science."
Teachers who are interested in exploring the basic principles of
electronics, satellite communications (including communications with
weather satellites), radio signals and radio science, radio astronomy,
scientific data collection, microcontroller technology and robotics --
and who want to gain a transmissible understanding of the wireless
technologies that are so vital to so many areas of everyday life -- will
want to investigate this opportunity. The instruction and resources
presented in the seminar provide the tools to engage with subject matter
in core classroom curricula in science, math, geography and language
arts. The resources offered at the Teachers Institute can be adapted to
engage students in the primary levels through university. Applicants do
not need to be licensed radio amateurs. Teachers need to complete an
application
<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/tbp/TeachersInstituteApplication2009.doc>
for this 4 day, expenses-paid seminar. Check the ARRL Web site
<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/tbp/ti.html> for more information.
For the first time this year, Johnson said that the ARRL is offering an
Advanced Teachers Institute, open to six graduates of the TI program
that will focus on satellite communications. "This opportunity has been
enthusiastically received and is at full enrollment," she said. "As
demonstrated by the application response, we are pleased that the
teachers who have participated in the past see the value of the
resources that the ARRL offers through this program and are eager to
take their exploration of wireless technology to the next level."

==> HAMS TO ACTIVATE MIDWAY ATOLL AS K4M IN OCTOBER 2009
Earlier this year, US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) announced that
they would open Midway Atoll <http://www.fws.gov/midway/> to Amateur
Radio operations for two weeks only, from October 5-19, 2009
<http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2009/01/27/10596/>. Tom Harrell, N4XP,
of Monroe, Georgia, and Dave Johnson, WB4JTT, of Aitkin, Minnesota, have
put together a team of 19 operators from all over the world to activate
Midway Atoll for a 10 day period as K4M <http://www.midway2009.com/>.
This the first time that USFWS has allowed amateurs to operate from the
wildlife refuge since 2002.
"Midway ranks as Number 24 worldwide and Number 13 in Europe on DX
Magazine's Most Wanted List <http://www.dxpub.com/>," Harrell and
Johnson said. "Activity will be on 6-160 meters with 5 to 6 stations. At
least one station will be active on 20 meters around the clock for those
who need it for a new country. Major efforts will be made to meet the
demand to the most needed geographical areas, the low bands and RTTY."
The team has posted a list of planned frequencies on their Web site
<http://www.midway2009.com/kh4freqs.html>.
The co-leaders said that travel to the atoll is only allowed by
chartered aircraft: "Because of the size of the aircraft, the team is
presented with unique challenges. As such, the aircraft will only be
able to carry the team, requiring the equipment to be shipped by boat
some months ahead."
In January, the USFWS started a program to encourage visitors to
experience Midway's wildlife, history and culture, as well as
non-wildlife-dependent activities -- including Amateur Radio. To ensure
the safety of the wildlife on the Refuge, Midway Atoll Refuge Manager
Matt D. Brown said that Amateur Radio operations will be permitted for
two weeks only, and only within a designated area on the north side of
Sand Island. Brown also said that while portable generators will not be
permitted, there is 120 V power available at the operation site; any
modifications to the island power grid/infrastructure must be approved
in advance and be paid for entirely by the radio operators.
Brown said that the K4M team will also be required to attend a refuge
orientation shortly after their arrival designed to enhance visitor
safety, wildlife protection and overall enjoyment of the wildlife
refuge. "Although determined to be a wildlife-compatible activity,"
Brown said, "this [Amateur Radio] opportunity is being conducted on a
trial basis." Brown has the authority to discontinue the activity at any
time, based on wildlife protection and conservation goals.
Midway is located in the North Pacific Ocean (near the northwestern end
of the Hawaiian archipelago) -- approximately 1250 miles northwest of
Honolulu -- about one-third of the way between Honolulu and Tokyo. At
less than 150 miles east of the International Dateline, Midway Atoll is
truly "midway" around the world from the Greenwich meridian. The atoll
is an unincorporated territory of the United States and is the only
atoll/island in the Hawaiian archipelago not part of the State of
Hawaii. Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge is owned and administered
by the USFWS on behalf of the American people and has international
significance for both its historic and natural resources.
In 1988, Midway became a National Wildlife Refuge, at the time subject
to the primary jurisdiction of the Navy. In 1993, the Navy decided to
close the Naval Air Facility after more than 50 years of continuous
operation. On May 20, 1996, custody and accountability for Midway Atoll
transferred from the Department of the Navy to the Department of the
Interior. President Clinton signed Executive Order 13022 on October 31,
1996, effectively superseding earlier orders assigning responsibility
for Midway to the Navy. A new code of regulations governing activities
at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge was published in the Federal
Register on March 10, 1998.
When Midway became a national wildlife refuge, it joined a network of
more than 500 separate units of the National Wildlife Refuge System,
encompassing nearly 93 million acres, throughout all 50 states and
several territories and possessions. Refuges represent the only Federal
lands set aside and managed principally for the conservation of fish and
wildlife.
==> GAREC-2009: EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS ACROSS BORDERS
The Fifth Global Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Conference
(GAREC) -- hosted by the Japan Amateur Radio League (JARL) -- will be
held in conjunction with the JARL Ham Fair
<http://www.jarl.or.jp/English/4_Library/A-4-6_ham-fair/ham-fair.htm> at
Tokyo Big Sight on August 24-25, 2009. Registration for GAREC-2009 will
begin in early May.
According to GAREC 2009 Organizing Committee Member Seppo Sisatto,
OH1VR, this year's theme is "Emergency Communications across Borders."
The program will include presentations about operations during disasters
that have occurred since GAREC-2008 in Friedrichshafen, Germany, as well
as discussions about new developments in technology and their
application in emergency communications. The detailed program will be
published in late April.
All Amateur Radio operators interested in Emergency Communications are
invited to participate in GAREC. The fifth GAREC continues the work of
its four forerunners: After the first and the second GAREC in Tampere,
Finland, the third GAREC in Huntsville, Alabama, USA, and the fourth
GAREC in 2008, this year's event will be the first GAREC conference in
IARU Region 3. The proceedings and the statements of the 2005, 2006,
2007 and 2008 conferences can be found at the GAREC Web site
<http://www.rientola.fi/oh3ag/garec/index.html>.
Sisatto pointed out that the theme of GAREC-2009 mirrors the theme
chosen by the IARU for World Amateur Radio Day
<http://www.iaru.org/worldAmRadioDay.html> on April 18, "Amateur Radio:
Your Resource in Disaster and Emergency Communication."
==> US COAST GUARD TO DISCONTINUE LORAN STATIONS
Last month, the US Coast Guard <http://www.uscg.mil/> announced that due
to economic conditions, they would be closing down the 24 LORAN-C (Long
Range Aid to Navigation) <http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/loran/default.htm>
stations operated under the auspices of the USCG. LORAN stations provide
navigation, location and timing services for both civil and military
air, land and marine users. According to the USCG, LORAN-C is approved
as an en route supplemental air navigation system for both Instrument
Flight Rule (IFR) and Visual Flight Rule (VFR) operations. The LORAN-C
system serves the 48 continental states, their coastal areas and parts
of Alaska.
LORAN-A stations were developed beginning in World War II, and signals
were transmitted on frequencies in and around our present-day 160 meter
band. LORAN-A was responsible for reduced amateur radio operations,
including frequency and power limitations, on 160 meters in the United
States. In 1979, the Coast Guard phased out the LORAN-A stations; they
were replaced by LORAN-C stations. The newer stations operated on 100
kHz, enabling the restrictions on the 160 meter amateur band due to
LORAN functions, to be dropped.
According to the Coast Guard, the nation's oldest continuous sea-going
service will continue to operate the current LORAN-C system through the
end of fiscal year 2009; it is in the process of preparing detailed
plans for implementing the fiscal year 2010 budget. According to USCG
Vice Commandant and Chief Operating Officer Vice Admiral V. S. Crea,
further details of the LORAN-C termination plan will be available upon
the submission of the President's full budget. -- Some information

==>SOLAR UPDATE
Tad "Where Suns peep in every sheltered place" Cook, K7RA, this week
reports: Last week's report again mentioned briefly appearing sunspots
and it happened again this week. For just two days, another Solar Cycle
23 spot appeared, number 1014. The latitude of the spot was consistent
with an old and fading solar cycle. As this period of quiet Sun drags
on, statistic based projections of a return to solar activity continue
to be pushed out. Sunspot numbers for March 5-11 were 0, 12, 12, 0, 0, 0
and 0 with a mean of 3.4. The 10.7 cm flux was 69.2, 69.1, 69.1, 68.9,
69.1, 68.8, and 68.9 with a mean of 69. The estimated planetary A
indices were 3, 2, 1, 8, 2, 3 and 3 with a mean of 3.1. The estimated
mid-latitude A indices were 3, 0, 0, 7, 1, 3 and 2 with a mean of 2.3.
