Contest News
John Moyle Memorial Field Day Contest
The Field Day will be held next weekend of the 16th-17th March 2024 and will run from UTC 0100 on the Saturday to 0059 on the Sunday.
Loggs need to be submitted by midnight 14th April 2024.
The aim of the contest is to encourage and provide familiarization with portable and field operation, and provide training for emergency situations. The rules are therefore specifically designed and focused to encourage field operations.
The contest is run each year in memory of the late John Moyle who was a long term editor of the Wireless Weekly, (later Radio & Hobbies - later Radio Television & Hobbies) from 1947 until his untimely death in 1960.
He served in the RAAF with distinction and was responsible for a number of innovative solutions to keeping radio and radar equipment working under difficult wartime and working conditions.
Although the contest is primarily for portable or field operators, home stations can take part using a different scoring system.
The contest is open to all VK, ZL and P2 stations. All other stations are welcome to participate, but can only claim points for contacts with VK, ZL and P2 stations. All VK, ZL and P2 stations can claim points for all contacts, with any station in the world, as long as valid serial numbers are exchanged.
Single or multi-operator portable or home entries can be 24 or 6 hour using Phone, CW, Digital or All modes and can be on HF, VHF/UHF or All Bands.
Multi operator stations are not permitted in the Home Category.
Most logging programs - VKCL and N1MM cover the field day rules.

We start this weeks happenings with the Wattlewood Park Equine Endurance Ride. This saw some of our members heading off in the Sassafras direction at 4 am last Saturday morning for the events early start. The day was successful from the providing of communications point of view and also because no emergency assistance was required for any of the horses or riders participating in the event. The weather was windy and cool in the morning until the sun finally decided to rise, then the wind died down and the rest of the day was warm and pleasant. Luckily the organisers placed our communications trailer next door to the canteen trailer, making thing easy for a quick coffee or egg and bacon roll, hihi. Thank you to VK7s Roger ARN, Stuart ES, Fran, Rosco RC, Peter SP, Andre ZAB, Idris ZIR, Tony ZTT and Stefan ZSB, who attended on one or more days transporting equipment to and from, setting up and on the day.
Thanks also to Rick VK7RI, from the north-west for volunteering to help swell the NTARC numbers on the day and manning one of the checkpoints.
Now for a much more leisurely change of pace. Last Wednesday evening saw the NTARC club rooms opening for the specific purpose of members getting together and partaking of a live visual presentation on the REAST YouTube channel.
The doors were opened at seven and saw a small trickle of members coming in, getting a drink, a piece of cake or two and being seated by 7:30 for the start of the presentation.
I am not going to steal REASTs thunder, but suffice to say the actual presentation was fascinating and extremely enlightening. I am sure it will be covered later in this broadcast.
The presentation started right on time and lasted for about an hour and a quarter. We even ended up clapping in appreciation to Mars for her excellent presentation, silly I suppose as it was only a one way link not like a Zoom session where we could contribute audio. But with the large screen TV you were immersed in the event and felt you were there. Anyway Mars certainly deserved the applause.
The general discussions about the topic continued for about half an hour longer, then we all dissipated into the night.
The committee will run these special live YouTube watchings for a while to gauge our members enthusiasm towards the concept. From this initial night it certainly seems to be an idea worth pursuing.
The next one will be held on the 3rd of April, once again a Wednesday evening with NTARC club room doors opening by 7pm for a 7:30 start. It will be on the history of universal co-ordinated time.
As always, pictures will be available on the NTARC Web site under “Blogs” for this broadcast.
https://www.ntarc.net/blogs
Mug Order - yes, we are talking about the white mugs for drinking out of, those that have our club logo on one side, personalised with your name and call sign on the other. We are placing another order so if you would like one then please see André at the Friday coffee mornings or at the Wednesday bi-weekly club Technical Nights. Those members who have already requested a mug, please email secretary@ntarc.net to confirm order, and anyone else who wants one please specify what name is to be printed above the call sign. The final price will be about $12 depending on eventual quantity ordered.
UPCOMING EVENTS
TestNet and TechNet session - Every Wednesday, 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.
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.
Club Room Technical night session - The next session will be on Wednesday the 13th of March and will commence at the usual time of 6.30 pm, running through to about 10 pm, at the Club room Archer Street, Rocherlea.
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.
Thats all folks,

March Presentation
Space Junk and Amateur Radio
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zxlnfGxsBc
REASTs March presentation night was a fascinating presentation from Mars Buttfield-Addison who is a PhD candidate with UTAS and CSIRO, a computer scientist and science communicator.
The title of the presentation was Space Junk and the role Amateur Radio can play.
Mars took us through what space junk actually is and why we need satellites. This led to the space surveillance network, orbit types and some of the reasons we have not solved this problem.
What role does radio play followed with what do we do about it in Tasmania and we are world famous in radio telescope terms and what has amateur radio contributed.
There was a wonderful reference to the first time Sputnik was heard and it was by OTC at the Queens Domain - so our REAST clubrooms really is famous now for something else!
We went through the AMSAT, ARISS and SatNOGS programs and this led to the parameters around the gathering and classification of data into the repositories like the Unified Data Library.
There is certainly huge potential for amateur radio to assist in these endeavours. Mars then took questions and answers for about 30m.
A huge thank you to Mars and partner Paris who came along. Keep an eye on the Ham Conference presentations in November we might well have Mars coming back.

April Presentation - Save the Date
The History of UTC and the Leap Second
https://www.reast.asn.au/news-events/upcoming-events/?event_id1=2095
REASTs April presentation night will be a fascinating presentation from Peter Pokorny VK2EMR.
This will be a humorous presentation about how universal coordinated time (UTC) came into existence and why we need Leap Seconds.
There will also be a very timely update from WRC 23 on Leap Seconds as well.
Peter attended the World Radio Conference 2023 with Dale Hughes and is a well versed in the ITU and WRC behemoth as he has been involved many years due to his professional maritime background.
It will be held on Wednesday night the 3rd April 2024 from 7:30pm in the Queens Domain Clubrooms and it will also go out on DVB/T RF and via the REAST YouTube Channel streaming service.
This should be a great night, see you there.

Technology History News
Early Radiation Meters
Roger VK7ARN sent in the following story in relation to a recent DATV Experimenters Night report. I noticed mention of a Geiger counter, tested by Justin. It brought to front of mind my experience with a Geiger counter – an ex British government model, built like the proverbial, in a nice cream colour as I recall. Id picked it up in a surplus shop but it came minus battery and I was at a loss as to what voltage the thing ran off, so was unable to improvise.
I was working in geophysics at the time, about 1968, on a job in the English Midlands, and knew there was an RAF workshop in the area – which I believe is now the RAF Museum Cosford. So, with a drab green Land Rover full of Field Assistants and wearing a military surplus field jacket, I rolled up at the main gate and queried the civilian policeman on duty. He directed me to park up in the adjacent car park and come back to him, which I did, after telling the young guys in the Land Rover that Id be back shortly. The cop let me in and took me for walk through the base to a building where he directed me to a door and told me the guys in there would be able to help. I presented myself to the NCO on the desk and answered his questions - Who are you? What do you want? and How the hell did you get in here? He told another guy to guard me and went off, returning very quickly with an officer, who proceeded to interrogate me. I obviously didnt satisfy him, as I was marched off under double guard to the guard house and told to sit there and not move. Two hours later, I was freed and returned to the somewhat concerned assistants still awaiting my return.
Turned out that the key player, the civvy policeman who let me in, had gone off duty and was not to be found to confirm he had indeed let me in. Phone calls had been made to my office to confirm I was who I said I was and in the area for what Id said I was. It was a bit embarrassing later, saying what I was doing in a secret RAF base when I was supposed to be taking gravity measurements in the countryside. I did find out from the cop who finally freed me that it had been my misfortune to choose to try to obtain information, on what was obviously some sort of government instrument, when notice had been given to the base to expect a security exercise in the near future!

Technology News
CMOS transmitter taps into the 300 GHz band
Japanese scientists have developed a phased-array transmitter that overcomes several common problems of CMOS technology in the 300 GHz band, with its impressive area efficiency, low power consumption and high data rate highlighting its potential for several applications.
At present, most frequencies above the 250 GHz mark remain unallocated. Accordingly, many researchers are developing 300 GHz transmitters/receivers to capitalise on the low atmospheric absorption at these frequencies, as well as the potential for extremely high data rates that comes with it. However, high-frequency electromagnetic waves become weaker at a fast pace when travelling through free space. To combat this problem, transmitters must achieve a large effective radiated power.
While some interesting solutions have been proposed, it is challenging for a 300 GHz-band transmitter manufactured via conventional CMOS processes to simultaneously realise high output power and small chip size. Now, a research team led by Professor Kenichi Okada from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and NTT Corporation has developed a 300 GHz-band transmitter that solves these issues through several key innovations, as outlined at this years IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco.
The proposed solution is a phased-array transmitter composed of 64 radiating elements which are arranged in 16 integrated circuits with four antennas each. Since the elements are arranged in three dimensions by stacking printed circuit boards (PCBs), the transmitter supports 2D beam steering. As a result, the transmitted power can be aimed both vertically and horizontally, allowing for fast beam steering and tracking receivers efficiently.
The researchers used Vivaldi antennas, which can be implemented directly on-chip and have a suitable shape and emission profile for high frequencies. Another feature of the proposed transmitter is its power amplifier (PA)-last architecture. By placing the amplification stage before the antennas, the system only needs to amplify signals that have already been conditioned and processed. This leads to higher efficiency and better amplifier performance.
The researchers also addressed some common problems that arise with conventional transistor layouts in CMOS processes, such as high gate resistance and large parasitic capacitances. They optimised their layout by adding drain paths and vias and by altering the geometry and element placing between metal layers.
“Compared to the standard transistor layout, the parasitic resistance and capacitances in the proposed transistor layout are all mitigated,” Okada said. “In turn, the transistor-gain corner frequency, which is the point where the transistors amplification starts to decrease at higher frequencies, was increased from 250 to 300 GHz.”
The researchers also designed and implemented a multi-stage 300 GHz power amplifier to be used with each antenna. According to Okada, excellent impedance matching between stages enabled the amplifiers to demonstrate outstanding performance.
“The proposed power amplifiers achieved a gain higher than 20 dB from 237 to 267 GHz, with a sharp cut-off frequency to suppress out-of-band undesired signals,” he said. The proposed amplifier also achieved a noise figure of 15 dB, which was evaluated by the noise measurement system in the 300 GHz band.
The proposed transmitter was tested through simulations and experiments and obtained promising results, achieving a data rate of 108 Gbps in on-PCB probe measurements substantially higher than other state-of-the-art 300 GHz-band transmitters, the researchers noted. The transmitter also displayed remarkable area efficiency compared to other CMOS-based designs alongside low power consumption, highlighting its potential for miniaturised and power-constrained applications. According to the researchers, notable use cases could include sixth-generation (6G) wireless communications, high-resolution terahertz sensors, and human body and cell monitoring.
