Bob Cropper VK7BY
Bob was born on the 18th February 1932 in Southport Lancashire, near Manchester & Liverpool on the West Coast of England. He joined the Navy straight out of school at 15yrs old, doing 3yrs in training, gaining a trade as a carpenter. Bob spent 30 years in the Royal Navy, rising to the rank of Chief Petty Officer. Just after marrying Maryl, Bob was transferred to Malta as a shipwright, his task was to maintain the large Mediterranean fleet, Malta had the capability to haul ships out of the water for major repairs.
Maryl was allowed to move to Malta as an accompanied draft, where their son Rhys was born. While in Malta, Bob was sent to Singapore to maintain the fleet for a while, but Maryl was not allowed to accompany Bob.
In Malta, Bob & Maryl had become good friends with another British couple, the lady was a teacher for the deaf at the large School, for sailorâ€Ös children in Malta. While Bob was working in Singapore, Maryl was approached by her British friend to help with relief teaching at the school. When Bob returned from Singapore he was intrigued in the teaching for the deaf, and the birth of the electronics being used to assist deaf people, as Bobâ€Ös hearing was failing, which he blamed on needing to wear a large brass diving Helmet, when working underwater to inspect and repair ships.
Bob was an extra in a movie made in relation to world war 2. A British warship, was made to look like a German destroyer for the movie, and Bob and others were tasked with adding false panels etc, to turn the English ship HMS Manxman into a German fast minelaying cruiser, fitted for the film with large mock-up gun turrets over her 4" guns. The torpedo damage was simply painted on the side of her port bow and three enlarged raked funnels. Bob was one of the Navy crew roped in as an extra in the movie, called Sailor of the King, Maryl did let me loan the movie to watch on CD.
When Bob retired from the Navy, he enrolled at Manchester University as a Teacher of the Deaf, and then taught at schools in Britain. While attending University, Bob and some of his amateur friends got into trouble, conducting experiments with radiation at the University, and they apparently had their UK Amateur licences suspended for 6 months, Bob would still chuckle re the incident.
In 1972 both Maryl And Bob were poached by the NSW Education department to come to Australia to work, while on Holiday in Tassie in 1974, they were offered employment in Tasmania, with a can you start asap.
In 1975 Bob started as a Teacher for the deaf in Tassie, finally retiring in 1985. Bob still loved the sea and his son Rhys bought the yacht Lowana, that had been used in the Sydney/Hobart, and Bob and Rhys used to sail the yacht in the Melbourne to Devonport or Melbourne to Hobart yacht races, Bob had very good navigational skills which Rhys appreciated. Bob bought a 30ft Yacht for himself which he sailed from Wynyard on the 1st April year unknown to Cairns, on arrival he decided the vessel was too large for one person to sail and sold it.
Bob in his Naval career, was very interested in radio and CW, and designed and built many antennas in Britain, and while living in NSW and now Tasmania. He had quite an antenna farm. He also had a 256-acre property adjoining the National Park at Rocky Cape, he allowed Scouts to setup facilities for camping and JOTA activities, as well as allowing JOTA to operate at his 3-acre property at Wynyard.
In 1999 Bob became the Vice President of the WIA NW Branch.
Unfortunately, his antenna farm that operated from 160m to 2m had fallen into disrepair. In October 2019, the club installed a new dual band vhf/uhf antenna on a mast and setup a radio room in his spare bedroom. Since then Bob became a keen participant on the Mt Duncan 2m weekly net and monitored the state-wide link through 70cm Table Cape. There were plans to erect a 20m vertical for Bobâ€Ös favourite band - 20M CW, but this was never achieved.
Bobâ€Ös body may have been letting him down, but his brain was still sharp, quoting antenna formulaâ€Ös, lengths etc, and always has plenty of tall but true stories to share re his naval and amateur activities, on my visits.
Unfortunately in January 2022 after a short period in Burnie hospital due to Bobâ€Ös declining health, he was moved from the Burnie Hospital, to the Yaraandoo Nursing Home at Somerset.
A Handheld was setup to enable Bob to access the Table Cape repeaters once he has settled in but, the nursing home wasnâ€Öt accommodating.
In October 2022, Bob moved to the Nursing Home Synovum Care in Wynyard.
Synoyum Care is where VK7KEV Kevin is residing, Bob and Kevin have been best mates for years, so they enjoyed one anotherâ€Ös company and sitting together during meal times.
We will miss Bobâ€Ös banter and chats at the club, he was a respected and knowledgeable amateur and friend
Bob passed away in the nursing home on the evening of the 11th October.
Bob didnâ€Öt want a funeral service, but his family will organise scattering his ashes at sea, where Bob enjoyed life
Fair winds and following seas Bob, RIP

Ron McMullen
The morse code list let recipients know that a Australian stalwart of the global Morse Key collectors fraternity had recently passed away.
Ron McMullen ran the The AUSTRALIAN TELEGRAPH OFFICE and his website and collection was enormous. He tracked Australian Telegraph History and the link to the website is on the email edition of this broadcast.

As far as I know Ron was not an amateur but had many friends who were.

Thursday Night SSTV Nets
Another quiet net night that saw the following participants, VK7s – ZAB, ZGK and PD all sharing ten photos.
The various subjects were:
The continuing series on repeater sites and this week featuring VK7RAA and RJG on Mt Arthur, which is near Lilydale. Showing tower work on a typical cloudy day and another looking out over a layer of clouds on a sunny day
The continuing series of TasRail diesel-electric locomotives. This photo dates from the now decommissioned Hobart to Bridgewater railway corridor
Vacuum tubes flying around a TV picture tube, looking like electrons
A murals of a happy patron drinking from a beer keg
A recent activation of VKFF-2914 at the Port Sorell Conservation area
Remember Ken VK7KRJâ€Ös and Steve VK7OOâ€Ös fully automatic 24/7 monitoring sites that allows anyone who has sent an SSTV picture the ability to check them on their pages almost immediately, any time, both South and North Tasmania.
Also if you missed the net there are archives of all SSTV nights. These photos can be seen on Kenâ€Ös 2m SSTV website as an infinitely-scrolling web page or on NTARCâ€Ös website under blogs and arranged as weekly nets.

NEWS FROM THE NORTH WEST
JOTA Callout to NW Amateurs
Hi NW Amateurs,
JOTA this year runs from Friday 20th to Sunday the 22nd of October 2023.
In the North West we would like to activate Paton Park behind Ulverstone, between 10am and 6pm on the Saturday only, at the well setup Scout camp, near North Motton,
The site has a large hut complex, with a kitchen and toilets.
We will be utilising two rooms for HF and VHF/DMR.
A VHF Amateur station communicating on VK7RMD 2m.
A UHF Amateur station communicating on VK7RMD 70cm.
Two Short Wave Amateur stations , 1 station operating on 80/40m and the other on 20M.
A DMR Radio if an operator is available.
Fox hunts will be run by Scout leaders.
We are looking for at least 6 amateurs to help on-site on the Saturday.
In Burnie on Saturday we usually have at least 4 operators at the Burnie Scout hall, on HF VHF UHF.
We normally supply radios, antennas, dual headphones boxes so operators and Scout can listen to the radio through headphones.
If you wish to bring your own radio, that would be great.
The amateur radio operator, controls the radio, monitors the conversation, and assist the Scout to make the contacts, and fills out the JOTA logs sheets, and prompt Scouts with the JOTA talk sheet if they stumble on questions to ask.
The whole idea of the day is the amateur operators facilitate with radios and their knowledge, to assist Scouts/Joeys/Guides, to speak to other Scouts etc around Tassie, Australia and hopefully the world.
If you are available or interested , can you please advise me, Eric VK7EV ASAP, at ericvdneut1(at)bigpond.com so we know who wants to be involved and how much we can do.
We need to advise Scouts that JOTA Paton park is going ahead.
Regards, Eric, VK7EV, JOTA Coordinator NW

NEWS FROM THE NORTH
SOTA/WWFF PARKS GROUP
The Summits On The Air/World Wide Flora and Fauna parks group meets twice weekly – Mondays and Fridays 10.30AM till 12.00 at the Glebe Gardens Cafe, Henry Street, Launceston.

Northern Tasmanian Amateur Radio Club Incorporated
www.ntarc.net
We will begin this week with an update on the general meeting held last Wednesday 11th October. There was an excellent roll up of members, many arriving well before kick-off time, claiming their seat and refreshing their memories by reading the minutes of the previous meeting held in August. The agenda was once again worked through in a timely manner. The two main items for future calendar reference by club members are:
Christmas social will be held on Wednesday evening the 6th December at a venue to be announced. It is being trialed early in the month this time, hopefully before members other family, school and work commitments require attendance.
Secondly the next club general meeting will be held on Wednesday the 13th December at 7:30 pm in the Rocherlea club rooms.
Members certainly were not in a rush to leave as many discussions continued on until well after 10pm. We thank all those members that donated food for the after meeting refreshments.
Last weekâ€Ös rumour was correct, Peter VK7KPC will be receiving another award. This time for his success in the 43rd ALARA Contest, taking out “Top VK7 OM” in the State awards section. Looks like one more certificate for the achievement folder, well done Peter!
Worth noting is that another VK7, Catherine VK7C, took out the National Award and Trophy for “Top Scoring Australian YL”. An excellent achievement, good going Catherine!
Next technical night - If all goes according to plan, Lionel VK7ZLB, will bring along his Icom 9700 transceiver with its newly acquired firmware update and some recently arrived mail order toys. Lionel will be giving us a bit of a run down on the Icom software site and updating Icom rigs. Probably the main improvement from the latest software update is the rigs ability to continuously update from its external frequency reference every 100 milliseconds. This should certainly help with frequency stability, assuming you provide a GPS locked external oscillator to the reference socket. Hopefully we will see Lionel, his rig and some of the new toys next Wednesday evening.
JOTA/JOTI for 2023 volunteers to assist are needed!
The Venue is the NTARC Club rooms, which is the Rocherlea Scout Hall, Archer St, Rocherlea.
The sessions will be on Saturday the 21st of October from noon to 6pm and Sunday the 22nd of October from 10am till 3pm. Groups are planned to arrive in two hour blocks, split up and rotate through four activities. We also need local contacts to chat with the participants on air in case we canâ€Öt link up to other Scout venues. If you are able to assist for any length of time over the two days please let Peter, VK7KPC or the club Secretary know of your availability or by e-mailing secretary(at)ntarc.net
NTARC Auction Hosting - we have received quite a bit of interest in the possibility of hosting a “Shack Clear-out” auction. This one will be open to all amateursâ€Ö not just NTARC members! So have a think, do you have items that are no longer needed, are you trying to claw back some of your space, do you just want to down size and consolidate your equipment setup? There already has been receivers, transceivers and test equipment pencilled in, so we have tentatively proposed an auction to be held on Saturday the 25th November. A percentage of item sale price will go to NTARC for hosting the auction.
As always equipment pictures and result links are available on the NTARC Web site under “Blogs” for this broadcast. Now back to the house keeping.
UPCOMING EVENTS
The Club Technical night - The next session will be on Wednesday the 18th of October and will commence at 6.30 pm through to about 10.00 pm, at the Club room Archer Street, Rocherlea.
Coffee Morning - held every Friday in the NTARC Club rooms. Time is from 10am to noon and we look forward to seeing you all there. So why not pop in and join us for a cuppa, there is endless tea and coffee along with biscuits available for a donation.
JOTA/JOTI - Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd of October at Rocherlea club rooms.
The TestNet and TechNet session - Wednesday the 25th of October. TestNet/CW course on 3.580MHz from 7pm till 7.30pm…. and a TechNet on 3.567MHz from 7.30pm till about 8.30pm. Your host for the evening will be Nic VK7WW.
FINALLY - A reminder to all members that if you have any items of news you would like added to our weekly roundup, no matter how trivial, then please email them to the Secretary at the following address news(at)ntarc.net all items to be received no later than 5pm on the Friday prior to the Broadcast.
Thatâ€Ös all folks,
73 from Stefan, VK7ZSB, Secretary NTARC Inc.

DATV Experimenter's Night
https://fb.me/e/39VVdqDCq
We started last Wednesday night with a welcome to our new outside VK7 member and viewers.
Justin VK7TW then showed the DragonOS_Focal distro which is focused on Software Defined Radio support.
DragonOS_Focal Download - https://sourceforge.net/projects/dragonos-focal/
DragonOS_Pi64 Download - https://sourceforge.net/projects/dragonos-pi64/
It was created during COVID by developer, Cema Xecuter. Cema saw the enormous positive impact that Kali Linux had on offensive security, penetration testing, digital forensics, and white-hat hacking. There was fantastic potential in following the Kali Linux model, but with the focus on Software Defined Radio (SDR).
Justin went through the enormous number of precompiled applications that are included in the distro. Then did a demo using both the Pluto and RTL-SDR.
The following SDR frontend applications were demonstrated -
Sigdigger demo with 23cm handheld ICOM T81A and the signal inspector using the Pluto SDR platform.
The using the RTL-SDR platform we demonstrated CubicSDR and GQRX
DrongonOS can natively connect to the Pluto, RTL-SDR, HackRF, LimeSDR, any SoapySDR interfaced SDR and others.
Justin has a Cariboulite that he will be demonstrating on the RaspberryPi DragonOS_Pi64 platform in the near future.
We then went through the latest 6th edition of the Radio Theory Handbook for amateurs written by Fred Swainston.
This handbook includes an SDCard which has the Checks of Understanding for each chapter and practice assessments.
If you would like to order a copy of the Handbook take a look at link on the email edition of the broadcast. https://silvertrain.com.au/
We then went through the latest edition of AR Magazine which is themed "When all else fails" and includes a great article by Linda VK7QP on YLs in VK7.
This week we have a very special and historic piece of equipment that we will be demonstrating thanks to Eric Ferrier. There will be some other interesting items and a review of the latest DUBUS magazine.
See you there or on the stream.
We stream the nights on the REAST YouTube channel.
https://www.reast.asn.au/news-events/live-stream/

https://www.youtube.com/c/ReastHobart/
We also go out on RF - DVB-T 7MHz Standard Definition on 445.5MHz. So, if you have a TV, Set-top box or USB DTV Dongle that you can tune and scan 445.5MHz and you can see the Queens Domain, then you have a good chance of receiving the DATV Experimenter's Night Signal. Look out for VK7OTC.
