 REGIONN ONE

 UBA, ROYAL BELGIAN AMATEUR RADIO UNION has been advised by their
 regulator, the radio amateur service in Belgium now has access to the
 frequency range 40.660  40.690 MHz on a secondary basis for holders of
 a class A operating certificate i.e. the HAREC licence.

 Quite a few conditions are in place including a power limit of 5 W ERP, 
 a bandwidth limit of 3 kHz and it will not only be mandatory to keep a
 logbook in which all transmissions are noted BUT at the end of each
 year, the holder must submit his logbook to BIPT, their regulator.

 This is an important development as Belgium now joins Ireland (EI),
 Slovenia (S5) and South Africa (ZS) with official amateur radio
 allocations on the 40 MHz band.




 UK RADIO FANS LAUNCH PETITION TO SAVE BBC's LONGWAVE SERVICE

 Radio fans in the UK are raising their voices - and a petition - to
 convince the BBC to keep a longstanding favourite radio service.
 We hear about their efforts from Amateur Radio NewsLine and Jeremy Boot
 G4NJH.

A petition drive has been launched to press the BBC to reverse its plans to take its longwave service on 198 kHz off the air by 31st March 2024. The BBC made the announcement in May 2022 that it was closing its longwave transmitter, describing it as a dying technology.

According to the petitioners on the Change.org website, the single longwave transmitter at Droitwich is efficient, covering most of the UK and northern Europe. It is viewed as one of the more historic features of the BBC, and its planned shutdown would come a mere six months before it marked its 90 years on the air. The Change.org petitioners called it [quote] "a historic radio lifeline." [endquote]

BBC Radio 4 has already begun a public information campaign to convince listeners to make the change from longwave to the broadcaster's other platforms. Those platforms are expected to carry many of the programmes now on Radio 4 Longwave, including Test Match Special, Yesterday in Parliament, Shipping Forecast and the Daily Church Service. The BBC has been following listeners' trend toward favouring digital radio and has acknowledged on its website that a wide range of alternative listening services have become available.

This is Jeremy Boot G4NJH.





 REGION TWO

 On-Air Special Event Celebrates 56 Years of Handiham Program.

 Tomorrow, Monday, September 11, as part of the 2023 Handiham Radio
 Camp, they will be conducting a special event QSO party to honour the
 56th Anniversary of the "Courage Kenny Handiham Program".

 The goal is to work as many stations as possible throughout the United
 States and beyond on both SSB and CW on 10, 15, 20, and 40 meters
 from 16:00  21:00 UTC.

 Using both W 0 ZSW and W 0 EQO, two call signs with a rich history in
 the Handiham Program.

 The Courage Kenny Handiham Program helps people with disabilities earn
 their amateur radio license and get on the air. The goal is to assist
 in all aspects of life while promoting STEM related activities. Since
 1967, the Handiham mission has been To empower people with
 disabilities to reach their full potential in every aspect of life.




 RadioShack's New Owner Plots Old Comeback Strategy:

 RadioShack has been acquired by El Salvador-based Unicomer Group with a
 plan to overhaul its website and add new programs driven by its
 heritage in technological innovation for franchised operators.
 RadioShack will seek to establish an Amazon.com storefront and revive
 franchise development.

 Founded in 1921 to provide equipment for amateur ham radio operators,
 RadioShack now has around 400 stores worldwide, down from a peak of
 over 7,000 in 2003.





 REGION THREE

 Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared in 2014 carrying 239
 passengers with its final resting place remaining a mystery - however,
 amateur radio technology may have found it according to a new news
 story attributed to mirror.co.uk dated September 1 2023.

 tinyurl.com/muptnfxa

 It is believed flight MH370 could be found about 1,560km west of Perth,
 thanks to the amateur radio technology Weak Signal Propagation
 Reporter, or WSPR. WSPR was used by researchers to track the Boeing
 777's flight path for six hours after contact was lost.

 In a new 229-page report, the team say: "The results represent credible
 new evidence. It aligns with analyses by Boeing and drift analyses by
 University of Western Australia of debris recovered around the Indian
 Ocean."

 The final resting place is slightly north of previous estimates. The
 researchers said: "Together with the data, a comprehensive picture of
 the final hours can be collated. Flight MH370 was diverted into the
 Indian Ocean where it crashed of fuel exhaustion at some point after
 the last signal after midnight.

 At the time of writing, MH370 still has not been found despite 
 extensive surface and underwater searches.

 REWIND 

 Space Shuttle Remembered in todays REWIND.

 Im VK4FJRK

 Last July, marked the 12th anniversary of the last Space
 Shuttle mission. Ham astronauts operated amateur radio in space
 on a number of shuttle missions, providing many with their first
 opportunity to contact an astronaut in space -- an opportunity still
 actively pursued today through Amateur Radio on the International 
 Space Station (ARISS).

 Over three decades, the five NASA space shuttles were launched on
 135 flights to orbit. The shuttles collectively travelled more than
 537 million miles and spent more than three and half years in orbit.

 355 people flew aboard the shuttles, including Sally Ride, the first
 American woman to fly to space. Her first mission was aboard the
 Challenger in 1983.

 Missions averaged about 10 days, with the shortest at 2 days, 6 hours
 and the longest 17 days, 15 hours.

 Mission objective included building the International Space Station,
 carrying large satellites to space and maintaining equipment like the
 Hubble Space Telescope. Ten missions remain classified, with little
 to no information publicly available.

 Ultimately, the fatalities on Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003
 helped bring about the end of the Shuttle program. The investigation
 in the loss of Columbia concluded that safety improvements would be
 costly. The program was shut down after construction on the ISS was
 complete.

 My time is up - for REWIND, I'm John Knox VK4FJRK.

 In New Zealand, hams will be activating summits and remembering a
 devoted SOTA friend and colleague, as we hear from Jim Meachen ZL2BHF
 on Amateur Radio NewsLine..

The sudden death of Andrew White, ZL3CC, in March of 2018 was a difficult loss for many of the amateur radio friends who had come to know the Christchurch operator through Summits on the Air and his SOTA activation blog. New Zealand hams are especially grateful that Andrew played a big role in establishing SOTA on the South Island. On May 1st, 2016, the day that the South Island officially became active in the SOTA programme, Andrew wrote happily on his blog and thanked the many friends on the team who helped make it happen.

Many of his radio friends set aside the closest Saturday to what would have been Andrew's birthday to hold Andrew White ZL3CC memorial day. This year it is on the 9th of September. It is a day of activation, summit-to-summit contacts when possible and then fellowship at a nearby cafe, often near the Banks Peninsula summits. Operators will be able to honour Andrew and work toward the ZL3 award at the same time.

It would no doubt please him to know that the South Island summits are still alive with RF.

This is Jim Meachen ZL2BHF.





 WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- CW
 www.morsecodeclassnet.com 

 Learning to send and copy Morse code involves many skills;

 Vince Alvino, writing in turbofuture.com has an article on such skills.
 in this article, he covers six of the most important ones and knowing
 these will make anyone a better CW operator. They are:

 Listening
 Timing
 Instant character recognition
 Codes and abbreviations
 Attention
 Mirroring

 Mirroring I hear you say?

 When starting a new conversation (QSO), it is best to mirror the speed
 of the other person. This is a distinct sign of a good operator, and
 not just in CW. The first thing is to identify their speed and adjust
 to them. Then, you want to match their QSO by sending your information
 in the same format they sent to you.

 If they send their location, name, and weather report. Then return the
 same three things in that order; after that, add something new or turn
 it back over to them.

 It is difficult to know the skill level of someone you just started a
 new QSO with, and this makes it easier for them to copy what is being
 sent. This is called mirroring because your sending format matches, or
 mirrors theirs.

 September is Canadian Straight Key Month

 The Straight Key Century Clubs yearly on-air event promotes the clubs
 many Canadian members. This year VC 3 K is the special call sign that
 has been granted in Canada for this event, which is referred to as
 Canadian Straight Key Month.

 VC3K runs September 1 through September 30 and is a perfect time to
 introduce or reacquaint Amateurs to the fun of hand-keyed Morse code
 sent with straight keys, bugs, and side-swipers. 

 SKCC members and non-members alike are welcome to hunt the Canadian
 based VC3K stations.  Non-members are encouraged but not required to
 use straight keys for their VC3K contacts.

 WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS - FINAL FRONTIER 
 AMSAT-VK Secretary - secretary(at)amsat-vk.org

 NASA officials have sounded an alarm about the agencys Deep Space
 Network, a collection of antennas here in Australia and in California
 and Spain, used to maintain contact with missions scattered across the
 Solar System.

 Everything from NASAs Artemis missions to the Moon to the Voyager
 probes in interstellar space rely on the Deep Space Network to receive
 commands and transmit data back to Earth. There are currently around
 40 missions that rely on the DSNs antennas to stay in communication
 with controllers and scientists back here on Earth.

 Another 40-plus missions will join the roster over the next decade or
 so, and many of the 40 missions currently using time on the network
 will likely still be operating over that time.

 We have reached a really critical point on the DSNs aging
  infrastructure, said Sandra Cauffman, deputy director of NASAs
  astrophysics division.

WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS - IOTA

On October 4th 2023, a band of ten experienced ham radio DXpeditioners will be QRV from Swains Island in the South Pacific. 

Particularly those in VK4 Swains Island is NOTHING to do with your
off coastline Swains Reef.

This much sought after QSO on Swains is ranked #27 on the Club Log
most wanted DXCC list. DX Hall of Famer, and W8S teammate, Adrian
Ciuperca KO8SCA explains their entire operation in detail including
the teams unique relationship with the island owners, the Jennings family, who are providing a significant amount of logistical support
for the trip.

Before you get on the air to make your contact, learn more about Swains and the effort being made to bring you this rare DXCC, IOTA and POTA contact.

(dxworld)




 IOTA Ltd has, from 1 September 2023, established a DXpedition Fund to
 help reduce the costs of expeditions to the rarer and less accessible
 IOTA groups.

 Administered by the IOTA Board it will consider making grants to
 operations from IOTA references confirmed by less than 25% of IOTA
 members based on the last 10-year listing in IOTAs Most Wanted List.

 The grant request should be submitted more than 30 days prior to the
 operations start and the evaluation and grant process is based on
 various criteria including the rarity of the IOTA reference,
 planned number of stations on the air, of days operating, of contacts
 made, of bands and modes used, QSL and QSO matching practice and
 estimated cost of the expedition project.

 Applications should be addressed to

 Hurricane Idalia:

 FCC Approves ARRL Petition to Aid Emergency Communications

 ARRL the USA National Association for Amateur Radio has received
 approval from the Federal Communications Commission for an emergency
 waiver to facilitate amateur radio emergency communications for
 hurricane relief.

 The request, filed by the ARRL Washington DC Counsel, sought a waiver
 of HF symbol rate restrictions.

 The waiver, which was granted August 30, is for a 60-day relief period
 from the rules, based upon the immediate need related to the threat of
 Hurricane Idalia. It would cover use directly related to any additional
 hurricanes that may develop within the 60-day period. Only messages
 related to these hurricanes would be permitted to be sent via the
 higher-speed modes, and only publicly documented modes would be
 allowed.

 ARRL Director of Emergency Management Josh Johnston, KE 5 MHV, said the
 rate increase will help response abilities. The increased symbol rate
 provides for faster more efficient message transmissions for digital
 communications. These modes such as WINLINK are used to send forms for
 served agencies and other data that can be vital during a disaster,
 he said.


 MEANWHILE.

 Section Manager of the ARRL Northern New Jersey Section Robert Buus,
 W2OD, and Section Manager of the ARRL Southern New Jersey Section
 Tom Preiser, N2XW, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with
 representatives from the American Red Cross New Jersey Region.

 The MOU focuses on disaster planning and response for communities
 within New Jersey during and after a disaster event.

 As part of the MOU, Amateur Radio Emergency Service teams in New Jersey
 will aid with communications in support of disaster relief through
 training, testing, and exercises, and by providing emergency
 communications to support local shelter operations. This is especially
 important when normal communications are disrupted or overloaded.
