Thursday Night SSTV Nets
Another quiet net night that saw the following participants, VK7s – ZAB, PD, EKA, ZGK and ZBX all sharing seventeen photos via the North South link.
There were various subjects like:
A series of murals in Launceston at Windsor Park and the flood levees
The Apollo 10 Command Module and its main control panel on display in London
The London Underground with Big Ben and a rainbow painted escalator
The DXpedition to Märket Reef, an uninhabited region in the Baltic Sea, shared by Sweden and Finland. Under the callsign OJ0EME there has been more than 100 EME (Earth-Moon-Earth) QSOs on 23 cm, setting a new record. There is a link in the text edition for further reading
A wrist watch with a face reminiscent of a domestic HYDRO mechanical power meter
Ways to save electricity on voice communications. From Mrs. Richards not turning her hearing aid “on” to Maxwell Smart using a voice tube

Northern Tasmanian Amateur Radio Club Incorporated
www.ntarc.net
I know the Centenary Open Day at Ulverstone was covered previously in length, but I would just like to add from our perspective Eric VK7EV, as Coordinator and his team of helpers achieved an awesome outcome in organising the venue, the internal infrastructure and the assistance provided to anyone with an exhibit.
Thanks to club members Rob VK7FUJ, with his working display of radio equipment for the visually impaired, voice synthesis certainly has improved in the last twenty years and Peter VK7KPC, for his functioning 6 metre military transceiver display. Peter even worked some contacts.
Also thanks to Fran who brought along a tray of magnificent apple cakes to complement the lunch time cup of tea and sausage as well as Kayâ€Ös “well infused” dark fruit cake that evidently she stayed up all night making. Hi-Hi
The last Club room Technical night proved popular with some members having arrived before the doors were open, even at the earlier time slot of 18:30.
The first items of interest came from Peter VK7KPC, a two piece military 6 metre transceiver. The receiver normally is mounted on a helmet and can be used with an ear piece or the inbuilt speaker that vents to the outside world via a flat pressed metal circular horn with the opening positioned at one ear.
The handheld transmitter is pure simplicity, Channel 1 or 2 selector, a tone or voice selector and a dual direction twist to talk knob.
The combination was the first American military field equipment to incorporate Integrated Circuits in their design and subsequent production. These are not the present day surface mount devices or the tradition dual inline black chips but were more like a metal “canister” transistors but with many more leads.
Unfortunately replacement originally specified batteries have long been unobtainable, but Peter recently purchased a mint condition original battery for the transmitter. Needless to say the battery was somewhat discharged and completely flat after thirty or so years. So all Peter has to do now is find his scalpel and surgically open the military grey cardboard outer casing, remove the contents and replace them with a combination of readily available batteries. Unfortunately the same problem applies to the receiver, except this time he is hoping to find some suitably sized copper tubing and batteries that will fit to overcome the problem.
Equipment link is included in the text version.
http://k4che.com/PRRPRT/PRR-9PRT-4Battery.htm
Ross VK7ALH, arrived early with a radio in a box, well not exactly, but a collection of boards, parts and modules in a cardboard box. They originated from various faulty Yaesu FT1000s over the years that he had collected hopefully to resurrect a working unit.
Main control and audio boards suffering from various problems and questionable repairs or modifications.
Antenna Tuning Module excellently designed with the maintenance technician in mind with a hinged control board giving access to all relays and coils.
Receive / Transmit switching and band low pass filter board which led him a merry chase through the circuit until the fault was isolated to this board and a “leaky” relay allowing RF signal into where it shouldnâ€Öt have been was identified. Ross certainly has his work cut out but the box couldnâ€Öt be in better hands.
Lionel VK7ZLB, produced a couple of samples from his affordable hand held test gear collection, a newer style “TinySA” Spectrum Analyser with the larger display. The modest screen size increase does make it quite a bit easier on the eyes when trying to operating the unit. This is certainly nice and portable. One surprise to me was his compact Vector Network Analyser (VNA), sporting “N” type connectors, this is rather a nice variation from the usual small SMA connectors. A version that I hadnâ€Öt seen in the flesh before.
Also recent arrivals on his door step was an assortment of SMA RF cables, adaptors and attenuators to augment his patching accessories as well as a very nice beefy looking 25W dummy load, incorporating a 10db pass through and “N” type connectors.
The last item from Lionel was almost totally unrelated and purely for show. It was an item that literally went off with a substantial BANG earlier in the day. A Duracell - ProCell 9 Volt battery blew the bottom out of its metal container, luckily it did this while not in use or installed in any equipment or in anyoneâ€Ös pocket, but was sitting next to him on the bench. I believe the sheer volume and closeness of the bang was somewhat disconcerting! I know itâ€Ös “Best before” date had passed and it didnâ€Öt get accidentally shorted but still quite an unexpected surprise.
It was somewhat fortuitous of Lionel to bring his TinySA as Lewis VK7IT had his latest equipment acquisition with him, a Quansheng UV-K5 hand held transceiver. Lionelâ€Ös TinySA was soon pressed into service as a low-level signal generator to put Lewisâ€Ö new hand held through its paces.
This one still has the ex-factory software version and is sold as a 5W handheld transceiver with transmit enabled on the 2m and 70cm bands. It has a substantial receive range of 50-600MHz and includes AM mode for the air band section. Lewis has yet to delve into some advanced features like a frequency counter and ctcss decoder. An interesting little radio and looking at the web there is the ability to experiment with different software that might expand the receive coverage quite considerably. No doubt we will see what Lewis does with it in the future. There is a very informative review conducted on Haydenâ€Ös VK7HH YouTube channel and a link is included in the text version.
Quansheng UV-K5 (BETTER Than a Baofeng!) - NEW 2023 Radio | Ham Radio DX
All in all a very interesting technical night.
Further developments on Nic VK7WWâ€Ös “Cent” CW Transmitter. These updates have now been added to the NTARC Website under “Projects”. They include a Diode for Reverse Polarity Protection, RF Choke notes, Crystal Oscillator improvement, modifications for 40m band operation and the option of adding Sidetone via an additional module. Nic has certainly been studiously beavering away on this Centenary project.
Hot off the press.
Peter VK7KPC has obtained 36th place World Wide in the Single Operator, 20 metre band, category for the Alessandro Volta RTTY competition held earlier this year and has just received the certificate to prove it.
While we are congratulating Peter on this activity, he also has taken out 4th place for Single Operator, 10 Watt, All Mode section in the 2023 VK Shires Contest, and appears to be the only Tasmanian to have entered! Doubly well done Peter on your achievements.
Now to finish off, Nic VK7WW, has had yet another successful long distance Morse Code contact on 3.580 MHz, using his recent transmitter project called the “Cent”, which is a celebration of 100 years of Amateur Radio in Tasmania. This contact was with ZL1KFM conducted a couple of nights ago at 8pm. Spanning a distance of 2449 Kilometres, from Legana Tasmania to North Waikato, Auckland New Zealand using only 1.01 Watt with a received signal report of 549 to 569 QSB. Thatâ€Ös pretty impressive QRP using one watt Nic!
UPCOMING EVENTS
Club Technical Night – will be replaced by the Midyear Social Evening on Wednesday the 12th of July. The venue is “The Park on Invermay”, in the “Tramms Family Bistro” area, not to be confused with the “Inveresk Tavern” a little bit further down the street. Time is 6:00 for a 6:30 meal.

July Presentation Night - Dayton Hamvention Experiences
Last Wednesday evening we were treated to a trip to Dayton for the Annual US Hamvention.
Hayden ran the audience through to the history starting in 1952 and the statistics of the Dayton Hamvention which is the largest ham gathering in the USA and the second largest behind the Tokyo Ham Fair.
Hayden ran through the other events that happen around Dayton - contest university with 16 presentations in four rooms on the Thursday before Hamvention. There is also a QRP event held including an annual homebrew contest. There is also a Vendor night to showcase their products.
How big is Hamvention - Hayden showed some photos of the Flea market taking a whole race course and more. There is enough room for 2500 flea market plots. Then there are the five inside vendor areas next to the flea market for 450 vendors.
There are four forum rooms running over the weekend with 53 forum topics. There is a huge food van area as well.
Hayden showed some videos of the inside of some of the vendor pavilions.
Hayden caught up with his YouTuber team and shared Australian Beer, TimTams and Vegemite!
There was a ham who was jumping out of a plane with a handheld who did multiple jumps and made contact with Hayden.
Hayden finished with some pictures of his trip to the Air Force Museum and how you get there and some pics of his travel then took questions.
A huge thank you to Hayden for sharing his Dayton experience.
The presentation is available on the REAST YouTube channel.

Technical News
Tasmanian Government Radio Network officially launches
The Tasmanian Government and Telstra hosted a launch event this week to officially inaugurate the Tasmanian Government Radio Network (TasGRN). The $763 million network, provided by Telstra and Motorola Solutions, was announced in 2020 and has been built on a feature-rich platform providing capabilities including greater interoperability, increased coverage, secure, encrypted communications for emergency service workers and a modern user interface.
“Motorola Solutions is proud to provide the technology and services for Tasmaniaâ€Ös Government Radio Network that will transform emergency management in the state,” said Rob Fyfe, APAC Regional Services Director for Motorola Solutions, speaking at the launch event. “The network, being inaugurated this week, will provide Tasmaniaâ€Ös emergency responders and government organisations with a highly advanced, mission-critical communications network to support reliable communications every day while providing the capacity to respond to emergencies throughout the state.
“The innovative network is built on a feature-rich technology platform to provide a variety of additional capabilities for the stateâ€Ös emergency services needed for today and well into the future. These include broadband push-to-talk services enabling seamless communication between radios, smartphones and other devices, as well as enhanced integration between existing communication centresâ€Ö operating systems and Motorola Solutionsâ€Ö consoles.”
Having trialed the network during the T20 World Cup in Hobart in 2022, the Tasmanian Government has since announced that eight public safety agencies will soon transition to the TasGRN. Hydro Tasmania, TasNetworks, Parks and Wildlife, and Sustainable Timber Tasmania will be the first to transfer, followed by police, fire and emergency services.
“The new communications service will enable Tasmaniaâ€Ös emergency services to manage increasingly complex operational requirements â€ö from combating natural disasters to dealing with the evolving security landscape and beyond,” Fyfe said. “With our advanced communications solutions and services, Tasmaniaâ€Ös public safety agencies will benefit from more reliable, secure and resilient communications today that will also contribute to making the state safer and more prosperous for the future.
“The network will provide interoperable communications for multiple government organisations, helping to provide the highest levels of safety for communities as well as the emergency responders that put their lives on the line every day to keep Tasmanians safe.”
