Hi Folks,
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that I have just
learnt of the passing of our dear friend Clive Wallis, G3CWV on 27th
March 2015.
Clive has been a very staunch supporter of AMSAT from the very early
days. Many will recall his intense interest and loyalty in following
UOSAT-2/UO-11. He maintained a very comprehensive web site with details
of the spacecraft's activities. He wrote many articles for Oscar News
about his activities. He attended many AMSAT-UK Colloquia.
He was awarded the Louis Varney cup for 2015 by the RSGB, and although
he knew of the award before his passing, the formal presentation is not
until 25 April.
His funeral is to be held on Tue 22 April 2015 at 3.00pm at
Christchurch, Bedford Road, Hitchin, Herts, UK. I am sure that his
family would appreciate the presence of any AMSAT members who are able
to be there.
We send our condolences to his widow, Janet.
RIP, Clive.

Thank you for your suggestions I will try them but my main concern was that
I was sure that I had the tone set but was still unable to access the bird
and wondered if I had not set the tone properly. I have just acquired the
ic- 910 I have been using an ic-820H and was not sure if I had set the tone
properly. The 820 worked with SatPC32 seamlessly but I had to set the 910
to go to satellite mode so I wasn't sure if I was setting the 910 properly.
Or if there was something that I had to do. The 910 works with all other
birds fine just not SO50.

Eight year old Hope, KM4IPF, has figured out that FM17 is probably a rare
grid square and has asked me to take her to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel
to work the SO-50 pass in the next hour from that location. The will be on
the south island of the north tunnel, which is in FM17.
Look for her if you need FM17.

Paul,
That is great news. The ability to have an FM quality conversation, not
just make contacts, on a satellite will be welcome. L-Band is the
way to go.

Hi Jim,
He is going to be missed as I learnt a lot from Clive decoding telemetry on
UO-11 and am saddened by the news of his passing.
I will always remember his great sense of humour on an evening out during
the Colloquium and his interests in the workings of the satellites!
Thanks,

The FCC - for the past about 20 years - would never have consciously allowed
MURS and FRS at greater than 500mW and GMRS in one HT.
There are several other technical factors which makes this AnyTone series
non-compliant.

greatful to him for his contributions to Oscar News while I was editor and
his ongoing input when I handed over the reigns.

Unfortunately, the FCC no longer is a technically inclined agency. ?It is
now "top heavy" with lawyers and bureaucrats. ?In fact, that has been the
case for several decades.
Personally, I have been involved with telecommunications, primarily
commercial two-way radio, microwave radio, and data infrastructure for
50-years as well as having held an amateur radio operator's license for
basically 56-years. ?I was a technician for the Motorola Service Station in
Atlanta, Georgia, my junior year at Georgia Tech, and then was employed
directly by Motorola to establish, and then manage, their very first company
owned portable / pager repair facility away from the Schamburg, Illinois,
plant. ?Then, a couple of years with Collins Radio, 10-years owning the
Motorola reconditioned equipment center for the south central United States,
light manufacturing for the two-way radio industry, and, finally, over
25-years as a telecommunications consultant. ?As such, I am very aware of
the certification process.
In 1989, recommended by Senator Phil Gramm of Texas, I was nominated, under
President George H. W. Bush, for appointment as one of the FCC
Commissioners. ?This was because of my experience with the commercial
two-way radio and microwave radio industry, not because I was an amateur
radio operator. ?I made it until the final round of approval. ?The final
round was all Washington, DC, attorneys, no one with any technical
background. ?Although I was not selected, I definitely feel honored to have
even been nominated!
Since the 47 CFR Part 95 radio services do not have any bearing on the 47
CFR Part 97 Amateur Radio Service, certification of radios for those
services really doesn't have anything to do with amateur radio. ?The only
thing that amateur radio operators need to remember is that amateur radio
equipment does NOT meet the certification requirements to be used on any
frequencies that require certificated (new "buzz word" for "type accepted")
equipment. ?There are no regulations against receiving frequencies outside
of the amateur radio bands (except for the cellular telephone frequencies).
?However, it is definitely against the law to transmit on those frequencies.
For those amateur radio operators caught transmitting, using non
certificated equipment, there can be serious penalties including the
following:
Fines of up to $11,000 per day per radio used for transmitting.
?Confiscation of the the equipment. ?Loss of one's amateur radio operator's
license and not being allowed to get another one for the rest of their life!
?Under certain circumstances, imprisonment (means "go to jail").
Because amateur radio operators certified, by signing their application for
an amateur radio operator's license, that they know, and will obey, all laws
and regulations concerning the use of transmitting equipment, the FCC
definitely comes down "harder" on amateur radio operators who violate these
regulations than those persons who are not licensed.
It is not illegal to own equipment that is not certificated for use outside
of the amateur radio bands. ?It is illegal to transmit, on frequencies
outside of the amateur radio bands using that equipment. ?It is also not
illegal to sell, trade, give away, such equipment to another individual or
to a company specializing in the sale of amateur radio equipment. ?It is
illegal to sell, commercially, such banned equipment. ?Also, it is perfectly
legal for a licensed amateur radio operator to modify, "re-tune", etc., such
equipment for use on frequencies within the amateur radio bands. ?In
addition, it is legal for an amateur radio operator to use such equipment as
an intermediate frequency for amateur radio equipment such as transmitting
converters and transverters. ?However, care must be taken to prevent such
signals from reaching the antenna system.?Glen, K9STH?AMSAT 239 / LM 463

The FCC - for the past about 20 years - would never have consciously allowed
MURS and FRS and GMRS in one HT.
There are several factors which makes this AnyTone series non-compliant.
