Hello Everyone …..
Wow, August all ready.. the summer is really flying by. I hope everyone is enjoying the dog days of summer with family and friends. We have a lot of hams and clubs in our section doing Parks On The Air, also known as POTA. They go to different parks and set up portable radios and operate while enjoying being outside in the fresh air and the scenery. Check with your clubs to see if there is any interest and make a day of it. I am sure you’ll have fun. Also check the POTA website for additional information. https://parksontheair.com/ . Also check some you tube channels.

HRU is coming soon. Hopefully we will be back live at LIU Post. The committee is working hard to tie the ribbons on it. Date TBD but early January, 2024. Stay tuned. This will be the 25th Anniversary of HRU …..
LIMARC:
I had a good time attending – Special Event Station K2CAM at the Cradle of Aviation Museum celebrating the Apollo 11 Moon landing. Conditions were not so good but they made some contacts. I suggest everyone should put visiting the Cradle of Aviation on their bucket list. There are many exhibits of Long Island’s air and aerospace history.
On Aug 6th LIMARC families gathered at Bethpage State Park for a day of fun food and amateur radio. It was another great day.
THE GREAT SOLAR STORM OF MARCH 1940:
This story is shocking. On March 24, 1940, a solar storm hit Earth so hard it made copper wires in the United States crackle with 800 volts of electricity. A New York Times headline declared that a “sunspot tornado” had arrived, playing havoc with any signal that had to travel through metal wires.
“For a few hours it completely disrupted all long-distance communication,” wrote astronomer Seth B. Nicholson in a recap of the event for the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Radio announcers seemed to be “talking a language no one could understand.”
https://spaceweather.com/images2023/09aug23/headline.jpg
The New York Times reported that more than a million telephone and teletype messages had been garbled. “Veteran electrical engineers unhesitatingly pronounced it the worst thing of its kind within their memory.”
So why have you never heard of this storm? Even in 1940 it was fairly quickly forgotten. World War II was underway in Europe, and the USA was on the verge of joining. People had other things on their minds.
Modern researchers, however, are paying attention. A team led by Jeffrey Love of the USGS Geomagnetism Program just published a new study of the event in the research journal Space Weather. Their work confirms that it was no ordinary solar storm.
“It was unusually violent,” says Love. “There were very rapid changes in Earth’s magnetic field, and this induced big voltages in long metal wires.”
Love and colleagues learned about the voltages from old engineering reports. In 1940, the United States was cross-crossed by copper wires hundreds to thousands of miles long. They were not for power distribution; electrical systems were still mostly regional. Instead the wires were used for communications such as telephone calls and telegrams. When the “sunspot tornado” hit Earth, electricity began to move through the system. Technicians jotted down some of the voltages they saw–and the numbers were incredible.
https://spaceweather.com/images2023/09aug23/shockingvoltages.jpg
Above: Solar storm voltages in March 1940 (red) vs. the Quebec Blackout of March 1989 (blue)
“Records show 400 V in Minnesota, 750 V in Missouri, and more than 800 V in Massachusetts,” says Love. “These are 10 times greater than long-wire voltages recorded during the Great Quebec Blackout in March 1989.”
What caused the high voltages? Love’s team examined old magnetogram records from the date of the storm and found evidence that two coronal mass ejections CMEs hit Earth only 1.82 hours apart. The double blow rattled Earth’s magnetic field in a complicated way most single CMEs do not.
“This could be a harbinger of things to come,” says Love. Modern studies show that as many as 5 CMEs leave the sun every day during Solar Maximum. With Solar Cycle 25 underway and intensifying, a double hit could definitely happen again.
A similar storm today might not significantly impact communications; we live in the wireless age of cell phones. Electricity is another matter. Modern power systems depend on long wires to shuttle electricity across the country. A repeat of 1940 could interfere with their operations. Love notes that the 1940 voltages exceed NERC power-grid industry benchmarks for 100-year storms. As a result, some modern power grids might not be ready to handle the shock of another 1940 event.

Two New Digitpeating Amateur Radio Satellites Approved
08/12/2023
The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) has coordinated two European digipeating satellites that are scheduled to launch in fall 2023. At the Technical University of Košice in Slovakia, satellite Veronika, a 1U CubeSat, is scheduled for launch on a Falcon 9 launcher on the Transporter 9 mission in October 2023.
The satellite will be equipped with a 24/7 digipeater on two different bands, as well as experimental slow-scan digital video (SSDV) transmissions. There is an education and outreach mission planned to involve Slovak grammar and high schools, and to transmit special CW and AX.25 messages on several special occasions. The satellite will be equipped with a novel Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) subsystem, including electromagnetic actuators and a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. This will also help to identify the satellite during the first days and weeks of orbit.
The satellite will communicate using Spacemanic’s well-known Murgas transceivers (BDSat-1, BDSat-2, Planetum-1). Altogether, Veronika will provide: AX.25 telemetry, a CW beacon, a digipeater, AX.25 and CW messages on special occasions for community engagement, experimental SSDV transmissions, SatNOGS integration, a decoder, and a dashboard. A downlink on 436.680 MHz has been coordinated, and it will use 9k6 G3RUH AX.25 and a CW beacon. A SpaceX launch on the Transporter 9 mission will send the satellite to a 500/600-kilometer polar orbit.
The Romanian Federation of Amateur Radio (FRR) is preparing the ROM-3 for launch in October or November 2023. ROM-3 is a 50 x 50 x 100-millimeter picoSAT with three missions and objectives. Its primary mission is to act as a digital amateur radio repeater. Its secondary mission is to transmit low-resolution SSDV images in a Gaussian frequency shift keying (GFSK) mode. The tertiary mission is to transmit a CW beacon that will help amateur radio operators detect the presence of the satellite and measure basic properties of the signals, such as its strength, fading due to spinning, and Doppler to measure speed. A downlink on 436.235 MHz has been coordinated for 20 WPM on CW, 500 (bps) GFSK telemetry, and 5 (kBps) GFSK SSDV. A SpaceX launch will send ROM-3 into a 500-kilometer polar orbit.

ARRL and NASA Team Up to Help Teachers
07/31/2023
A radio experiment held on July 26, 2023, to decode a slow-scan TV (SSTV) message sent via the ham radio station on the International Space Station (ISS) was successful.
The image was received by a group of educators at the headquarters of ARRL The National Association for Amateur Radio® in Newington, Connecticut through the voice repeater on the ISS. Teachers from around the United States were on hand for the ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology, a program that empowers educators to incorporate amateur radio into their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) curriculum. As part of the professional development program, the group received and decoded the image sent by volunteers with Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS). The transmitted image said, “ARRL Teachers Institute: ensuring a space for radio in the next generation.”
The teachers thought it was cool. “Amateur radio is so important to the future of engineering and STEM in our country,” said Kristen Kucko, KQ4ECP, one of the institute participants. The group gathered outside ARRL Headquarters with antennas they had made earlier in the day. As the pass happened, the educators tracked the ISS by hand. A warble of SSTV transmission filled the air, and the group was excited. After the pass, they used laptops to decode the audio stream into an image, while they sat on picnic tables and enjoyed pizza and wings.
For ARRL Education and Learning Manager Steve Goodgame, K5ATA, the experiment was a way to allow teachers to engage with the power of radio. “When teachers can pull an image off the ISS via amateur radio, it gives a sense of accomplishment that gets them excited. We want to get them fired up about radio, so they can carry that energy back to their classrooms and do the same thing with their students,” said Goodgame.
Each of the teachers on hand for the second phase of the institute, — “TI-2: Remote Sensing and Data Analysis,” — have already been through the introductory course and they are all licensed radio amateurs. The institute costs teachers nothing to attend, thanks to funding from the ARRL Education & Technology Program.
Several local television stations from the Hartford-New Haven market covered the event. See coverage from WTNH News 8 (ABC) and WFSB Eyewitness News 3 (CBS).

Slow-Scan TV Experiment With ARRL Planned for Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
07/19/2023
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS), in collaboration with ARRL The National Association for Amateur Radio®, plans to carry out a special slow-scan TV (SSTV) experiment from the ISS on Wednesday, July 26, 2023. During the event, the Columbus Module Repeater, transmitting at 437.800 MHz, will carry a message to be received by teachers attending the ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology professional development class. The pass will be over the Mid-Atlantic and New England area, with transmissions scheduled to begin at 20:05 UTC (16:05 ET) and end at 20:20 UTC (16:20 ET). If necessary, a backup window is scheduled from 21:40 UTC (17:40 ET) to 21:55 UTC (17:55 ET).
Radio enthusiasts are welcome to download the message and follow along with the event, but it is asked that all hams refrain from using the repeater for voice contacts during the event. This is a special experiment conducted through ARISS and ARRL. Regular operations of the repeater should continue to take place in voice mode only.
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics topics (STEM/STEAM). ARISS does this by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students. NASA has scheduled the next ARISS contact for scouts at Camp William B. Snyder in Prince William County, VA. The ARISS radio contact is scheduled for Friday, July 21, 2023 at 1754 UTC (13:54 EDT). Scouts will ask their questions of Astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi, amateur radio call sign KI5VTV, who will use the ARISS radio station on the ISS to talk. The downlink frequency for this contact is 145.800 MHz and may be heard by listeners within the ISS footprint.
The ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology is a donor-funded professional development program designed to help classroom teachers elevate their STEM programs through the use of wireless technology. As a part of the ARRL Education & Technology Program, several sessions are conducted each year, and the program continues to grow.
ARISS is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the ISS. In the US, participating organizations include NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation program (SCaN), the ISS National Laboratory — Space Station Explorers, ARRL, and AMSAT.

ARRL Files Comments Against “Seriously Flawed” HF Rules
Petition
ARRL, as part of its mission to protect Amateur Radio, has filed
comments against a proposal that would introduce high-power digital
communications to the shortwave spectrum that in many instances is
immediately adjacent to the Amateur HF bands.
The “Shortwave Modernization Coalition” (SMC), which represents
certain high-frequency stock trading interests, filed the petition
with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). ARRL responded on
behalf of its members and the 760,000 licensees of the Amateur Radio
Service in the US.
The petition can be found online at,
https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/1042840187330/1 .
The ARRL Laboratory performed a detailed technical analysis over
several months to determine if the proposed rules would affect
operations on the bands allocated to Radio Amateurs that are
inter-mixed with the Part 90 bands in the spectrum in question.
ARRL’s analysis determined that, if the proposed rules are adopted,
the new operations inevitably will cause significant harmful
interference to many users of adjacent and nearby spectrum,
including Amateur Radio licensees. Ed Hare, W1RFI, a 37-year veteran
of the ARRL Lab and internationally recognized expert on radio
frequency interference, was the principal investigator on the study.
Hare concluded the petition should not be granted. “This petition
seeks to put 50 kHz wide, 20,000-watt signals immediately next to
seven different amateur bands with weaker protections against
interference than required in other services,” said Hare.
In its formal opposition, ARRL stated, “That destructive
interference would result if operations commenced using anything
close to the proposed maximum levels.”
ARRL’s filed comments highlight flawed analysis and incomplete data
submitted by the petitioners. It noted the petitioners
“…significantly understate the harmful interference that is not
just likely, but certain, if the rules proposed by SMC are adopted
as proposed. It is noteworthy that SMC’s proposed rules would
provide less protection than the much-lower power amateur radio
transmitters are required to provide Part 90 receivers.” ARRL’s
opposition also noted that there was no reported tests conducted
with Amateur or other affected stations, but referenced a spectrum
capture in the Comments filed with the Dayton Group that showed
actual interference into the Amateur 20-meter band from one of the
High Frequency Trading experimental stations.
Part 90 HF rules currently authorize a maximum signal bandwidth
equal to a voice communications channel, at up to 1000 W peak
envelope power (PEP). The petition seeks multiplication of signal
width, greater transmitted power, and weaker rules that protect
users of adjacent spectrum. ARRL’s comments expose the likely
fallout:
“Incredibly, notwithstanding the significant increase in potential
interference that would result from using digital schemes with 50
kHz bandwidths and 20,000 watts of power, SMC also proposes to
substantially lessen the protections required to protect adjacent
and neighboring licensees. SMC proposes [out-of-band emissions]
limits that offer less protection than the existing Part 90 limits
and would actually permit no attenuation (0 dB) at the edge of
adjacent allocations, many of which are bands allocated to and
heavily used in the Amateur Radio Service. Consistent with lessening
protections while increasing the potential for harmful interference,
SMC also proposes a lower limit for spurious emissions. SMC would
reduce the existing protection of -73 dB for the applicable
1000-watt power limit to just -50 dB protection for their proposed
20,000-watt limit. Due to the much wider 50 kHz proposed bandwidth,
the resulting interference would penetrate deep into the adjacent
Amateur bands.”
The proposal has been assigned FCC Docket No. RM-11953. While the
period for commenting on the petition has now closed, replies to
comments in the record may now be submitted.
Hundreds of licensed Radio Amateurs filed comments in the Docket,
expressing overwhelming opposition to the proposal. Those interested
may read ARRL’s full comments and the results of the technical
analysis, which are included in the filing. “If granted as written,
this would be devastating to Amateur operation for many tens of kHz
into our bands,” said Hare.
ARRL will continue to advocate for its members and the Amateur Radio
Service in this proceeding.

Hurricane Watch Net Seeks Bilingual Net Control Operators
The Hurricane Watch Net (HWN) is looking for new members who are
willing to train to become Net Control Operators. HWN is especially
interested in recruiting bilingual operators who are fluent in
Spanish and English or French/Creole and English. Net Control
responsibilities can entail hours of duty to ensure all received
ground-truth weather reports are forwarded directly to the National
Hurricane Center in Miami.
The net generally activates whenever a system has achieved hurricane
status and is within 300 statute miles of a populated landmass. This
can vary, however, due to the forward speed and intensity of a
storm, or at the request of the forecasters at the National
Hurricane Center. Once activated, the HWN continuously operates
until a storm is no longer a threat to life and property.
The mission of the net is to disseminate the latest advisories
issued by the National Hurricane Center, and to obtain real-time,
ground-level weather conditions and initial damage assessments from
amateur radio operators in the affected areas. The net then relays
that information to the National Hurricane Center by way of WX4NHC,
and when required, the Canadian Hurricane Centre.
It also functions as a backup communication link for the National
Hurricane Center, National Weather Service Forecast Offices, the
Canadian Hurricane Centre, Emergency Operations Centers, emergency
management agencies, non-governmental organizations, and other vital
interests that can involve military relief operations. Such
operations can be involved in the protection of life and property
before, during, and after a hurricane event.
HWN Manager Bobby Graves, KB5HAV, says training will be provided and
each candidate will go through a probationary period with a mentor.
Graves, an ARRL member, says an applicant’s station must be
reliable. “While having a tower, beam, and/or amplifier is not a
requirement, your station must allow you to hear and be heard.
Therefore, directional antennas and amplifiers are preferred,” he
said.
The net coverage area includes the hurricane-prone areas of eastern
Canada, the US East Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, Central America, and
the Caribbean. The net specifically seeks applicants in the
middle-to-western sections of the US, Canada, Central America, and
the Caribbean. “As always, the HWN is hoping for a quiet season, yet
[we are] prepared for the worst,” said Graves.
