VK2 DIV. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
This is Michael Corbin VK2PFQ.
Ah! JOTA weekend....The weekend All Hams look forward to....Now
before anyone gets excited and accuses me of having a shot at people,
a check of the Records of the 1st, or was it the 2nd Quakers Hill
Scouts or even perhaps a glance at an old Callbook under VK2SAQ will
reveal that I too was once.... a JOTA person...Yeah!..other things
seem to take up my time these days.
The point is, that, this weekend would not be possible were it not
for the efforts of truely devoted people....and usually, the same
devoted people. It's the weekend that all your mates, when you tell
them that you desperately need help with JOTA .....ALL seem to have
something on, that they arranged ...ages ago. It's the weekend that
you don't seem to have friends anymore. The weekend that, no matter
how often you call .... "CHUCKIE" ...Chuckie, doesn't seem to be
in.... On behalf of your fellow Amateurs....THANK YOU! I for one,
and I know that I have many, many supporters, appreciate the time
that all of you spend with these Scouts and Guides...Again....
THANK YOU!
There is not a great deal to report this week, apart from the usual
dose of bad news. Last weekend it was discovered that certain
things had been stolen from the property here at Dural. Amongst
these were several lengths of FHJ-4 Hard line Co-ax cable, one 180
foot long, a couple were 39 and 68 feet long respectively and one
42 feet length complete with connectors; a couple of copper clad
earth stakes and some ni-cad battery packs.
The disturbing thing about this is, that whoever or is it WHATever,
stole this equipment... had a key! Some of the gear was lifted
from the shed and some from inside the building. What sort of a worm
would be responsible for such an act. What sort of an individual
steals from his friends, and to think... this person is, or is it
was, in a position of trust.... I hope you are as incensed about
this as I am....Dear oh Dear. The shame of it all is that this sort
of behaviour puts everyone under a cloud who has a key. I'm sure that
the people who come up here these days to read the Broadcast are not
to blame....but what of those who still have keys...What of those
who still have keys and no longer work for the Division and HAVE NOT
returned their Keys....What of them.... Hmmmmmmmmm!!!!....Whoever
you are ....Shame on you! But wouldn't it be nice if this person
had second thoughts and returned the goods...NO questions asked.
I'll even acknowledge it on the Broadcast. Now on to more pleasant
matters.
The Institute is in need of a property valuer. It is time to renew
our insurance policies and your Council feels that the existing
valuations are in need of updating. No, we don't expect anyone to
work for nothing.... mates rates would be good enough. Hi! Hi!
Anyone fitting this description, would they please contact me on
626 9288 or leave a message with Margaret at the Parramatta Office.
Last Friday night there was a Council meeting at Parramatta, amongst
the matters discussed was a report from the NTAC Committee. This
committee is the first of many the Council hopes to set upset up
to consider various facets of our hobby. The reasoning behind the
creation of committees is that, Council believes that decisions are
best made by people, who have an expertise/ interest in a particular
area. Hopefully, this will mean that "correct" decisions are made.
Didn't someone say something about not being able to please all the
people all the time. Ian Rosser prepared a report from this
Committee, I'll read an edited version of it for you.
NTAC COMMITTEE REPORT.
A meeting was held last Thursday the 13th October at Parramatta to
consider link frequencies.
Present were Peter Kloppenburg, Barry Sullivan, Bob Meyer, Tony
Farrow, Barry White and myself, Ian Rosser as Chairman. We were
fortunate that Col Christiansen had made himself available, in his
own time, to assist with technical advice.
The meeting commenced at 7.30p.m.. Lively and sometimes heated
discussions followed. All aspects of linking were considered, such
as cost of installation, limited spectrum space, desirable
implementation, and practical applications.
A great deal of time was devoted to packet links as these seem to be
the area of greatest contention. Put simply, in the LONG TERM,
if Packet links remain as they are, future developments of other
aspects of linking on the same sites may be difficult. Against
this, the subcommittee have considered throughput and cost, against
poor frequency management. In theory (in practice in the Commercial
World), all transmitters on a site would be grouped on one segment of
a band whilst all receivers would be at another segment, Thus
avoiding desensing problems. Currently, packet sites are SINGLE
frequency transmit and receive. If two or more such links are
required on the same site, they almost, by necessity, HAVE to be at
either end, thus limiting future TWO frequency links (eg voice
links).
The committee took on board cost considerations, particularly for
smaller country clubs, and came up with what is believed to be,
an achievable compromise.
Much work has still to be done in this area, but this sub-committee
has come up with a BROAD policy statement.
Which is...
"To provide for future development of the LINK spectrum, the WIA
will allocate a FREQUENCY PAIR with either TX on one and RX on the
other OR...BOTH. However, clubs are strongly advised to opt for
TX on one and RX on the other frequency of the pair as the long
term costs, in both dollars and wasted spectrum space, would be
FAR GREATER if there was TX and RX at both ends.
The Committee wishes to encourage two frequency link operation.
REMEMBER that costs (both long term and immediate) and practical
considerations have to be taken on board and balanced against what
we would ideally like to have. It is our belief that ULTIMATELY,
ALL link frequencies will have to be two channel pairs to provide
for future expansion.
Ian Rosser.
NTAC Co-Ordinator.
My thanks to Ian and the Committee. This "solution" might just
please some of the people, some of the time!!
Finally I had a phone call last Friday from a Howard Leake W6AXX....
a lovely bloke. He has a request to make. He sent me a Fax to
confirm our conversation....I'll read it to you in his words.
"Hello Mike,
Per our telcon this date in Parramatta. My name is Howard Leake and
my amateur radio call is W6AXX Licensed in the U.S. since 1940.
I had my 75th Birthday in August and my wife, Carol, gave me (us) a
Tauck Tour of Australia and New Zealand. The 21 day tour begins in
Sydney on Sunday 30th October, 1994.
I am an avid HF/VHF Contester and we have arranged to arrive Sydney,
Thursday evening, 27th October, so that I can apply for a VK2 call
on Friday AM at the Victoria Cross Bldg., 60 Miller St., Nth Sydney.
We will be staying at the Inter-Continental Hotel.
May I please have your help to locate a Sydney Area ham who would be
willing for me to use his station for the first 24 hours of the
CQ WW SSB Contest, which begins at 1000 hours, that's Australian
local time Saturday, 29th October.
We will depart Maryland for San Diego on Tuesday, 25th October and
leave Los Angeles, Wednesday 26th October.........."
_______________________________
This chap has without a doubt the perfect wife... ....Holidays...Ham
Radio, on the other side of the world. What a life....Gosh! Isn't
retirement hard for some...If anyone is prepared to help make
Howard's Holiday a complete success please contact me on
(02) 626 9288 or Howard direct on 410-465-7008...Don't forget to
dial 0011 1 before the number of course Or fax, the same
instructions apply on 301 470 4455. What a fine gesture it would be
if we could accommodate Howard's request.
Next week I will include in my address the first of a four part
series provided by John Aarsse (Pronounced Ar-say) VK4QA on the
9th IARU Conference in Singapore....
See you then

----------
We regret to announce the passing last week of John Geoffrey Myers
VK2UA. First licensed in 1938 as 2IY, Geoff was a founding member of
the Manly-Warringah Club (now the Manly-Warringah Radio Society, of
which he was a life member).
Born at Neutral Bay, Sydney, in 1913, Geoff was the first President
of the Zero Beat Club, and a member of Harrington's Radio Club. He
served with the Australian Armed Forces from 1939 to 1945, as
Captain and later Company Commander with the 4th Division Signal in
New Guinea.
After a break of some years, Geoff was re-licensed as VK2UA in 1978,
and maintained a keen interest in Amateur Radio until his passing at
age 81. His funeral took place last Thursday.
Geoff will be greatly missed by his family and many friends in
Amateur Radio; please pause with us now in memory of John Geoffrey
Myers VK2UA.

Magazine Roundup
----------------
Here again is a summary of the local magazines, which in the
author's opinion could be of interest to Amateurs. This week we
discuss the October issues of the various magazines.
"Electronics Australia" discusses amateur efforts in observing the
comet impacts on Jupiter; Tom Moffat discusses passive repeaters
in his usual style; the debate about the future of Amateur radio
and the WIA continues; and proportional radio control systems are
introduced, as are stepper motors.
"Silicon Chip" builds a simple dual rail power supply; and
Amateurs who love "gadgets" can construct a talking headlight
reminder, an electronic fluorescent ballast, and a temperature-
controlled soldering iron.
"Amateur Radio" discusses technical aspects of HF receiver design;
some more information on the ubiquitous single-coil "Z match" is
given; the TH3-JR antenna is tuned up; and the series on the FM-
828 circuits is completed.
"Amateur Radio Action" discusses Amateur and weather satellites;
and shows how to calibrate the MFJ-1270 series TNCs for better
performance.
Be listening next month for another summary of the local
magazines.

WICEN News
The next major exercise is the annual "Hawkesbury Classic Paddle",
a 111km paddle down the Hawkesbury River, to be held next weekend.
As this takes place under moonlight for the most part, the safety
of the paddlers is of paramount concern, and WICEN provides an
important communications net. If you would like to help out in
this worthwhile event, then please contact Kevin VK2CKD. If you
have portable packet equipment, then so much the better.
Following this event is the WICEN Co-ordinators conference at
Charles Sturt University, Bathurst, on the weekend of 29-30th
October. The conference will commence at 0930 Saturday, and the
programme will comprise lectures on the role of various positions
in the organisation together with various guest speakers. This
will be followed by dinner in a local restaurant, and since
Daylight Saving is scheduled to start the morning after, this
will be an interesting test of WICEN's adaptability to losing an
hour's sleep under strenuous circumstances... There will be a
discussion period after the dinner, followed by a short business
session on Sunday. Due to the late posting of the newsletter, the
deadline for registration has been extended to Thursday 20th October
i.e. this coming Thursday; full details will be found within the
newsletter, and please note that a pre-registration fee of $10
should accompany your application.
WICEN is always looking for members to provide the community with
communications assistance. Write to WICEN (NSW) Inc, PO Box 123,
St Leonards 2065 for further information, or come up on one of the
WICEN nets: Blue Mountains on the first Monday of each month at
8.30pm on channel 7175 simplex, Hunter each Wednesday at 7.30pm on
channel 6900, Northern Rivers each Wednesday at 8pm around 3610
kHz, Central Coast each Thursday at 8.30pm on channel 7125, and
Sydney each Thursday at 9.30pm on channels 7150/8275. If there
are any other regular nets then we'd like to hear about them.
WICEN (NSW) Inc. operates a telephone BBS, and it is accessible at
speeds from 300 to 14,400 bps on (02) 888-2763. Brett VK2XMU is
the "Sysop", and all listeners are invited to use it. Many
programs,
such as "virus scanners" and "PGP", are available for downloading.

News briefs
-----------
Tom Christian VR6TC was in the news recently. The great-great-
great grandson of Fletcher Christian of "Mutiny on the Bounty"
fame, was until recently the only direct communications link to
the outside world for the 55 people living on Pitcairn Island. Now
satellite technology has arrived on the island, Tom is thinking of
leaving the airways.
It was also reported that Tom had to be flown to New Zealand last
month to have a tumour removed from his stomach and pancreas, and
that a friendly Amateur helped keep him in conatct with his wife,
Betty. We wish Tom a speedy recovery, and hope that he won't
abandon HF completely.
***********************************
The bush lawyers ought to have a ball with this one, as will
packet BBS sysops and those preoccupied with defamation laws: this
week, the High Court ruled that Australia's Constitution
guaranteed a right to free political speech. This effectively
removes state laws that require that the media or citizens prove
the truth of their statements when they are being sued over
political discussion.
In the future, defendants need only prove that they did not
knowingly publish false material, did not publish the material
recklessly (that is, not caring whether it was true or false), and
took reasonable steps to substantiate their claims.
How widely this ruling will be applied (and how it will affect
Amateurs, given that Amateur bands may not be used for political
purposes) remains to be seen.
*****************************************
"News briefs" looks at communications news items that appear in
the mainstream media. Thanks as always go to "The Australian" and
"The Sydney Morning Herald". Are these the only newspapers in
Australia that publish items of interest to us radio enthusiasts?
Surely not! Send us a press clipping from local paper - fame and
fortune could be yours (well, fame at least - you'll get name
mentioned on the broadcast!).

The Australian National Amateur Radio Teleprinter Society advises
that after the 40 metre RTTY broadcast has been transmitted each
Sunday an edited CW version is transmitted by VK2CTD. This is due
to poor propagation as we approach the Sun spot cycle minima.
The CW cast lasts just over one hour, it is transmitted at 20
words per minute using a PK232 modem making it very stable CW for
anyone wanting to improve their CW skills. Copy it on your own
modem or copy it yourself for fun.
The frequency and time of transmission is 7025 kHz plus or minus
QRM AT 0215 UTC.

Transfers to 144.150 MHz Upper Sideband.
- The SSB activity night which is still been held every Tuesday
evening 20:00 to 21:00 AEST it is well patronised but certainly
would like to see some new stations so let see you there and join

Great Lakes
The Great Lakes Amateur Radio Club at its September meeting agreed
to a request from the newly formed Kempsey Amateur Radio Club to
modify the VK2RGL relay of the WIA Sunday broadcast so as to ex-
tend automatic relay through that club's repeaters for the benefit
of local and visiting amateurs. This extension of the relay system
is seen as desirable and offering a better quality service than
would be obtained from the interception of the HF transmission.
Consideration was also given to a proposal for an increase in the
packet user baud rate to 4,800 bauds to cope with the ever-
increasing demand for access to the packet system. However, it is
recognised that this would require a changeover synchronised with
all other BBS and repeater operations in the region, or else a
duplication of facilities to permit both 1200 and 4800 baud
operation with the consequent costs involved.
As far as this club is concerned the restriction of user access to
its digipeater is aggravated by the number of BBS services which
use it for forwarding purposes, couples with the volume of
messages of questionable value forwarded, many of them originating
from and intended for overseas addresses and of no local
relevance.
There appears to be a need for a rationalisation of the forwarding
process on the daily change principle, if digipeaters in key posi-
tions, that's VK2RGL, are not to be overwhelmed.
