- The following is a QST
-
- The FCC acts in the alleged California license fraud case.
- Disciplinary action is on its way! This story and more on
- Newsline report number 894 coming your way right now!
-
- (*****
- PUNITIVE ACTION IN CAL VE PROBE
-
- The FCC has begun punitive action in the wake of widespread
- fraud in California's all volunteer amateur radio testing
- program.
- The FCC takes action against 54 amateur radio operators
- connected with alleged license fraud in Southern California.
- The Commission plans to revoke the licenses of three hams and
- is cancelling license upgrades for 51 others. Ordered to turn in
- their licenses are James B. Williams, AA6TC of Wilmington,
- California, Robert L. Flores, N6WPQ of Santa Monica and his wife,
- Rose Marie Flores, N6WPR. All three are former Volunteer
- Examiners holding Extra class licenses.
- The Commission says that an exam session the three claim to
- have administered never actually took place. The Commission
- accuses all three of willfully signing certificates showing that
- people who were not tested had passed elements necessary for
- amateur radio licenses.
- The Commission singles out Rose Marie Flores as being in charge
- of the paperwork for one test session. Flores is accused of
- getting other VE's to sign certificates of completion for people
- the FCC sez were not examined.
- The Commission issued a show cause order against the three
- September 27th. They have 30 days to appeal or lose their ham
- licenses.
- FCC is also punishing 51 other hams they received license
- upgrades from Volunteer Examiners suspected of fraud. In June,
- the Commission gave each amateur a choice: they could either take
- the test again, or lose their upgrade.
- Only 3 of the 51 appeared for re-testing and all three failed.
- Now, the Commission is revoking the upgrades all 51 hams received
- during exams in 1992 and 93.
- The three amateurs who face losing their licenses are part of a
- larger group. Nearly three dozen Volunteer Examiners were
- suspended throughout California about a year ago. There's
- speculation that the Commission's action may be the FCC's way of
- saying, there's more to come.
-
- (*****
- ENGINEER ADMITS SABOTAGING COMPETITION
-
- A Cleveland Ohio radio station engineer has pleaded guilty to
- charges that he cut transmission lines that knocked Howard Stern's
- broadcast off a rival station.
- On September 7th, William Alford pleaded guilty to one felony
- charge of disrupting a public service and one misdemeanor count of
- criminal trespass.
- Alford admitted that last June 10th that he cut cables to a
- satellite feed as shock-jock Howard Stern was broadcasting his
- syndicated show from a Cleveland nightclub. Stern was in
- Cleveland to promote local station WNCX FM, which carries the
- show.
- Alford worked for WMMS FM at the time of the incident but is
- no longer is employed there. He could be sentenced to up to two
- years in jail.
- In a prepared statement WMMS said Alford acted on his own.
- A check of the FCC database indicates Alford is not a ham.
-
- (*****
- CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEM SHUT DOWN
-
- The FCC has partially shut down a cable television system for
- excessive leakage. It happened in Oklahoma where an engineer
- working out of the Dallas, Texas office discovered that a small
- town cable television system had a signal leak on aeronautical
- frequencies.
- The FCC identifies the cable system as Trans-Western Video of
- Waukomis, Oklahoma. The FCC says it measured a cable leak of
- 1,850 microvolts per meter where the FCC rules permit a maximum
- of 20 microvolts per meter.
- As a result of this leak, and several smaller ones, the system
- was found to violate the cumulative leakage index limit. This
- called for suspension of operation on all aeronautical frequencies
- to prevent interference with aviation communications.
-
- (*****
- FAIRNESS R.I.P.
-
- The FCC's top lawyer has recommended that the agency not
- consider reinstatement of the fairness doctrine. This is a former
- rule that required TV and radio stations to present both sides of
- a controversial issue.
- According to the trade publication Variety, the recommendation,
- from FCC general counsel William Kennard, is considered a big win
- for broadcasters. It's believed Kennard made the decision only
- after consultation with Reed Hundt, the FCC's Democratic chairman.
- Kennard's opinion could close the books on attempts to
- resurrect the fairness doctrine, which had been a staple of U.S.
- communications policy until 1987 when then FCC chairman Dennis
- Patrick led a drive to repeal the rule. Patrick argued that the
- fairness doctrine stifled, rather than promoted the presentation
- of stories with controversial themes. He also said that the
- explosion in cable TV and other media outlets rendered the rule
- obsolete.
- Since Patrick's FCC nixed the regulation key congressional
- Democrats have fought unsuccessfully to pass a bill making the
- doctrine law and expanding its scope to cover new communications
- technologies.
- But in a memo circulated to Hundt and the four other FCC
- commissioners, Kennard says that the legal arguments against
- codification of the fairness doctrine have not changed since 1987.
- Moreover, he believes that arguments today are even stronger than
- they were seven years ago against bringing the Fairness Doctrine
- back.

- ARRL TO ASSIST HANDICAPPED
-
- The says that it ARRL is currently working to develop materials
- for disabled individuals with an interest in Amateur Radio. It
- notes that it is looking for stories, photographs, recordings of
- experiences of disabled Amateur Radio operators or from
- instructors and rehabilitative personnel who have worked with
- handicapped ham radio students. It is also looking for practical
- solutions to problems faced by handicapped hams. This includes
- adaptive devices for radios and computers that could be invaluable
- to a potential ham struggling to earn a ticket or make the ham
- shack as accessible as possible.
- If you have any ideas and would like to help, please contact
- Mary Carcia, N7IAL in care of the ARRL Program for the Disabled,
- 225 Main Street, Newington, CT 06111. Or you can call Mary at
- (203) 666-1541 during normal business hours, Monday through
- Friday, Eastern time.

- BRAILLE NOVICE EXAM
-
- Meanwhile, Dave Allen, WD8LDY says that he has already
- transcribed the most recent Novice question pool for Examination
- Element 2 into grade two Braille. In his recent all United States
- packet radio posting Dave notes that anyone who needs it, please
- contact Dave at (214) 235-9821. He asks that you call him only
- between 9:00am and 9:00pm central time. WD8LDY adds that he will
- try to get the Technician Element 3A done soon, and will look into
- others if requested.

- NO UNION AT ARRL
-
- There will not be a Union coming to ARRL headquarters after
- all. The National Labor Relations Board recently conducted an
- election among League employees on the matter of union
- representation. There were 65 employees eligible to vote. Most
- did and unionization was rejected by a wide margin.
-
- (*****
- EXAM DAY MISTAKE
-
- National Exam Day is October 29th and not October 9th as noted
- in the September issue of the ARRL's QSO Media News. The league
- says that the October 9th date was nothing more than a
- typographic error.
-
- (*****
- ANS NEEDS INPUT
-
- The AMSAT News Service is still looking for volunteers to
- contribute its weekly OSCAR status reports. If you have a
- favorite OSCAR satellite which you work on a regular basis and
- would like to contribute to this bulletin, please send your
- observations to WD0HHU at his CompuServe address of 70524,2272.
- On the Internet he can be reached at WD0HHU@AMSAT.ORG, or by mail
- to his callbook address.
-
- (*****
- ELECTRONIC NASA PRESS RELEASES
-
- Hams involved in the SAREX program and repeaters that carry
- space shuttle mission audio should take note that NASA press
- releases and other information are available automatically by
- sending an Internet electronic mail message to DOMO@HQ.NASA.GOV.
- Now, in the body of the message and not the subject line, you
- must type the words subscribe press-release without any quotes.
- The system will reply with a confirmation via E-mail of each
- subscription. A second automatic message will include additional
- information on this new electronic press release service.

- DX
-
- In DX, word that KU0J and DK8FD have been active from the
- Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Activity has been mainly CW
- on 17, 30 and 40 meters. Unfortunately this one does not really
- count for anything but fun. You may remember that the League's DX
- Advisory Committee recently rejected a petition for new DXCC
- country status for the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. DXAC
- members stated that it did not meet DXCC Criteria Point 1
- operating to government.
-
- (*****
- SPECIAL ITU STATION
-
- Also, the ARRL reports that special event station 8N3ITU is
- operating from the International Telecommunication Union 14th
- Plenipotentiary Conference. The station is set up at the
- International Congress Center in Kyoto, Japan, site of the
- conference. ITU officials attending the conference who are
- licensed amateurs are allowed to operate the station. Japanese
- amateurs watch over the station and assist visiting amateurs.
- The conference is scheduled to run until October 14. QSL's may
- be sent via the JARL bureau, or direct with an SASE to 8N3ITU.
-
- (*****
- A FISH STORY
-
- This story from Australia. Researchers at the University of
- Sydney say that they have made an interesting discovery that could
- yield major benefits in the areas of solar energy and optics and
- they owe it all to a fish.
- It seems that a group of physicists were arguing at lunchtime
- over what makes a fish so "silvery." Unable to reach a
- conclusion, they went to a nearby Fish Market, bought the
- shiniest fish they could find, and took it back to the lab.
- A scientific inspection of the fish skin showed that it
- contained "multiple stacks of organic crystals, interleaved by
- layers of watery tissues, arranged in what scientists call the
- Chaos Theory principle. In other words the cells are arranged in
- an apparently disordered manner, instead of neat arrays.
- The highly efficient natural reflectors are intended to
- confuse predators, but this discovery promises to lead to more
- efficient solar mirrors and other optical and reflective devices.
-
- (*****
-
- And on that fishy note, we will say for this week, that's all
- from the Amateur Radio Newsline. You can write to us at Post
- Office Box 463 in Pasadena, California 91102.

- Looking to get myself some cable. I will be operating on VHF and UHF

- Subject: HF rig turns off the VCR??
-
- Has anyone ever seen anything like this? My transmitter (on certain
- frequencies) causes the VCR to stop playing.
-
- I put together my HF station last weekend. I have a Kenwood TS-430
- running barefoot (100 watts) into an MFJ tuner feeding a roof-mounted
- multi-band dipole.
-
- While checking the antenna for SWR on 20 meters (CW transmission),
- our VCR stopped. We restarted the VCR and, sure enough, when I
- keyed the transmitter, the VCR stopped again. It almost seems
- like the motor changes speed for a moment, then the picture goes
- to "dead channel" snow for a few seconds, then the VCR stops
- playing. Perhaps I'm affecting the tape speed sync???
-
- Strangely, if I tune the transmitter a few hundred KHz away, then
- I just get a light snow on the picture. With the VCR off, the TV
- picture (cable) is perfect. The place that gives the problem seems
- to be where the antenna is best tuned (about a 1:1.2 SWR).
-
- The VCR is about a 5 year old RCA middle-of-the-line model.
- It is located only a few feet from the transmitter (in
- different rooms sharing a common wall). It would be
- difficult to re-locate either transmitter or VCR. In our
- old house, both units operated in relative peace (minor
- snow). While some (including me) might consider causing the
- VCR stop to be a feature, not a bug, my daughter disagrees. ;-)
-
- Any thoughts on things to try?

- Subject: HT problem--help!!! Please!!!
-
- Jesse,
- I have no experience with this HT, but my guess is if you indeed shorted
- something, you probably open circuited (burned out) a diode that may be
- in series with the external power jack to prevent the wrong polarity
- from being applied to the radio.
-
- Check the schematic to see if such a diode exists. If it does, that's
- where I'd look. Also, I don't suppose there's actually a fuse in
- there somewhere....is there?
-
- If you get a chance, let me know how it turns out.

-
- P.S. With the current state of miniaturization and use of surface mount
- devices, be be very careful if you decide to try to fix anything yourself.
- It might be worth it to send the thing back to the factory.

- This is not any special deal. For the fixed fee of around $5.00 per session
- you are absolutely entitled during any one session to take the theory papers
- in continuous ascending order, so long as you pass each the previous one and
- also, if necessary, take the code tests in decending order until you pass
- one of those.
-
- There is no need to grovel or bargain for this privilage or "agree" to
- anything. It's the regular deal we all got.

- Just be sure you post something a few days ahead. I'm interested in ANY

- Start the car? No. Drive the car? Yes.

- If you transmit on the thing (the radio, not the car, smarty) without
- a license, you are in violation. If you kerchunk a repeater, without
- identifying, license or not, you are also in violation. Although that
- only applies to license holders, since if you didn't have a license, what's
- to identify?
