W6VIO VOYAGER NEPTUNE ENCOUNTER Georgs Morris, W6AI3W

Publicity Information has been sent to QST. CQ, 73, Ham Radlo. and Worldfadlo announcing the W6VIO Neptune Encounter special event. Hopefully there will ba many hams looking for us as Voyager 2 completes the Grsnd Tour.

A full page W6VIO Voyager Neptune Encounter ComrnemoratIve sign up sheet is Included in this issue of W6VlO Calling. Pleas* fill it out and return It to me as soon as possible. Go ahead and make the commitment for specific times and days. Nobody will shoot you if you hawe a schedule conflict later, I need to get some idea of whether more peopte want to operate than time is availabls or whether arms will have to be twisted to meat minimum operating commitments. I will wark out schedules and respond back ta each lndivldual approximately one month bafore the operation begins. Please seheduls only withln your license class limitations.

The SSTVISSB positlon should be uasd to put out some SSTV pictures but also can be used to make lots of SSB contacts. The SSW/SS& positlon uses the Collins KW linear. The SSB/CW position uses the Dentron KW linear and can be used for either SSB of CW mode but not for SSTV. Please mark the sign sheet either SSB or CW for the SSBICW positlon sa I can get some Idea of the plans of the upmator. The Novice HF positlon Is a TS-130 without an amplifier which can be used on 10-meter SSB or Novice HF CW bands.

I plan hands-on operator trainfng classes from the middle of July until the middle of August. Go ahead and sign up now won If you are not familiar with W6VIQ equipmsnt and operating procedures. Respond on the sign up sheet in the appropriate place if you want the operatfrrs training course. I will tailor these classes to cover the ~ O S ~ ~ ~ O A S

In which yau are interested.

I stilt need help with the SSTV operations, Volunteers please call me at 4-0035 or via JEMS or mail to MS 144-201.

This Is an excltlng spseial event whlch completes the Voyager Grand Tour of the planets. I hope we will get lots of parttcipatlon for 1 am sure everyone Involved wlll look back on this encounter as a very special personal event In their life in amateur radlo and spacm exploration!

DX NEWS

Unfortunately, there has been Ilttle time to sit In front of the ola r lg and take advantage of the fantastic conditlons I understand have existed for the past several months. My only visibility into the current events is through the eyes d 'The RX Bulletin". The list that fot lws Is my summary of the current Items from the last three issues of that publication,

Chad - A look at t4250 kHz amund 00002 m y result In a Ifst-QSO with ITRCW. H a also plans CW operation thls month.

Egypt - Look for John. SUIEK, between 2f260 and 21275 kHz from 0100 to 04001 most dmys. He's weak. but workable on the long path. He is a W6 from the $an Diego area and Is anxious to work thm guys in California.

Lesotho - Look for 7PBEL on 28488 kHz at 16002. He operates primarily SSB, but will give CW QSOe, if asked.

Marion Island - ZSBMI Is quite actlve now on ssb: although, he will give out CW QSOs If asked. Look for him from 1200 to 15002 around 14222. 14270, 141 75-14780, and ldT45 kHz.

Revilla Gigedo - XF4F la aftan on the air on weekends. He can bu found on 14300 kHz al 16002 on Saturdays, and 15002 on Sundays.

St. Plerre - FPfKtAH plans operatton between 30 June and 7 July. Look for him 25 kHz above the low band adgs on CW on all bands and on 14220 kHz on SSB.

Turkey - TA2BK is another amateur radio oparalor who recently becama very actlvs, Try 14030 or 14207 kHz at 02302, 21026 or 21290 kHz from 0000 ta 04002 Actlvily an these frequencies has also been noted at 1500 and 21002.

After looking through the DX bulletins In front of me, I think It's time to make more time for amateur radio again. See you in the plle-ups!

Good DX, Bob, NGEJ

INFO-HAMS Digest Volume 89 : Issue 376

Wed, 31 May 89

Today's Topics: R F Emissions from Unlicensed Devtces: New Aules - The folrwving artlcle appsara In the current Issue of the ANARC Newsletter {subs~rEpHons $8/ymar to US addresses, USf8.50 to Canada and Mexico, US$l3/ysar elsewhers; order from ANARC Publications, P.O. Box 462, Northfleld, MN 55057 USA).

NEW RULES FOR UNUCENSED RF DEVICES

The FCC has adopted mew rules concerning radio emissions by unlicensed devices. Some people Fear this may lead to more Interference to authorlzsd services; others say I t should reduce Interference. Certainly it will Iet many new "wireless" products comm to market and as a result. put mare lowpowar signals In the air. Transition to the new rules atarts June 23rd.

Regulations governing unRcenssd radio srnlsslons are grouped together In FCC Autea Part 15. Most were orlglnally adopted In response to a manufacturer sesklng permlsslon to market a new type of gadget - a cordtess phone. a garagdoar opener, a "baby monitor," eke. Different standards were set for each new genre. Over several decades, this produced a maze of hlghly specific and sometimes Inconsistent requirements. Plus, tho Commission st i l l had to go through the time-consuming process of developing and adopting additional rules whenever a another new product was Introduced.

The new Part 15 ellminatea most device-specific requirements. hstead, general limits are set for intentional and unintentional radio emissions from ail unlicensed devices. No limits arm put on the bandwidth, duty cycle, rnodulatlon type or application - with a few exceptions. There will ba limits on field strength and frequency, however. The general fleld-strength llmNs applying across the spectrum are given in Table I:

Band (MHz) meld Strength (uVJm) Measurement DIatancs (m)

-- -

0.009 - 0.490 24001F (kHz) 300 0.490 - 1.705 24,000P (kHz) 30 1.705 - 30 30 30 30 - 88 100 3 88 - 216 150 3 216 - 960 200 3 abwe 960 500 3

Thire are important exceptions to these general emission Ilmlts: bands where higher IImits are set, to encourage Part 15 use, and "mstrlctmd bands" where Intent ional unlicensed operation 1s prohibited. Some of the higherpower bands are those aIready altocatad to Part 15 devices, like the CB, cordless phone and radia-control channels. In addition, the bands for Industrial, Scientific and Msdical (ISM) devices will be opened to Part 15 use: 13.553-13.567, 26.96-27.28. 40.66- ~0 .70 , 902-928, 2400-2483.5 and 24000-24250 MHz.

Another exception may affect shortwave DXers: between 1.705 and 10 MHz. the fiald strength limit will be 100 uV/m @ 30 m for Intentional emissions whose bandwidth Is greatar than 10% of the center frequency. In the past thls had been allowed only for "swept-field dlsturbanca sensors" used with antl-thef! tags on products In storea, books In libraries, etc. Under the new rules, the higher tlmit will apply te other broadband slgnsla In this range as well. ANARC filed comments opposlng thls change, but the FCC adopted it anyway. Howewer, we did win a concession on intentional emissions whose bandwidth is lass than 10% of the canter frequency: from 1.705 to 10 MHz, the field strength 30 m from the source wlll be limited to [the bandwidth In kHz1 divlded by [the center frequency In MHz1 uV/m, or t 5 uV/m - whichever is greater. We hope this will be enough to pravent htarferenee to weak 13X signals. Slnce we can't foresee what products might develop under this Ilmit. we don't know how widespread or bothersome their ernisslons mEgM be.

PAGE 3 w 6 V I O CALLING JUNE 1989

Many of the public comments In this rule-maklng had to do with the proposed Hst of "restricted bands." Fearing the spmad .of new intarterenee sources, comrnenters usually wanted "their" bands added to the list: ANARC proposed that the bands for International broad- casting be added. The American Radio Relay League wanted tha Amateur bands on the Ilst. The Nattonsl Assn. of Broadcasters wanted the bands for domestic b r o a d c a s t i n g p r o t e c t e d , r a d a r d e t e c t o r rnanufaetursrs wanted the pollee radar bands, the phone companies wanted the common carrier microwave bands, and so on down the Ilne. Table I1 shows the below 1 GHz portion of the flnal Ilat. There are dozens more protacted bands above 1 GHz:

BANDS BELOW 1 GHZ WHERE INfENTlONAL PART 15 OPERATION WILL BE FORBIDDEN

Tha Commlsslon explained their crlterla thla way: "only those frequency bands altocated far sewices lnwolvlng safetpf-llte or for services that are required by the natura of their operetian to use signala received at very low recmlved levels should be designated as rastrtFted bands." On. glarlng exception shows who haa clout In Washington: "...pending tha outcome of tha Inquiry into HDTV...wa are not allowing intentional radiators operated under the general limits to have their fundamental emissions located in the frequency bands allocated to television broadcast statlonmH - although axlstlng devtces uslng T V channels can continue to do so.

The FCC had alsa proposed strict new raqulrements far all elecironlc devices marketed as kits. ANARC opposed thls as llkely to raise costa and reducs availa biblty. In tho end tho FCC agreed to postpone any general declslon on klts, and they adopted stricter rules only for I V interface devices" In kit form.

Noting that the "lowFERU band (160 - 190 kHz) Is regulated undsr Parl 15. we asked tha rnembars of tho Long Wave Club of America what changes they'd like to see in their experimental service. They asksd for more specftum, an Increase in authorized ' power, and more freedom Cn antsnna design. However, the FCC decided to keep the rulss just as they are.

Mhrr things worth rnentloning: a new technique for measuring 4F emisalon fleld strengths will be requtred of manufacturers, which ahould lower the permitted emlssion leva13 even whom the stated limits are the same as they are now. There will be no ban on the usa of relays or rnultipbe tranarnittsrs to extend the coverage area or ranga of Part 15 devices, but each additional transmitter must conform to tha emission limits, and only antennas of the type that originally came with the device may be used. No field strength limits were set far RF emissions inside tunnels or mines, or for dlgital devices "utilized exclusively in any transportation vehlcle ...[ or] appIiance. e . ~ . , microwavo oven, dishwasher, clothes drier..." Stricter llrnits on signal leakage Tram radio and lV receivers and CBs will be Imposad, but not for another 10 years. AT&T objected to letting computer modems be attached to cordleas phones - to no avail. And on June 23rd, thm official lower boundary d the radio spectrum will drop from f D to 9 kHz. Tune in an the 22nd a t midnight (in whatever tlme-tone Is eonvenisnt) to monitor that momentous event!

Two days alter the FCC approvad the new rules, the ARRL decided to file a peHtion for reconalderatton and seek "whatevsr lnjunctlve relief is necessary to protect amateur interests." fhls was mainly due ta the FCCa allowing Part 1.5 operatton In tour bands over 900 MHz that are atso allocated to the Amateur Service. Conslderlng how sweeping the rule-changes are, and how many cornrnenters tailed to get the changes they wanted, other challenges aeem Ilkely. We'll keap you posted as the controversy continues.

W canno! end thts summary without thanking everyone who wrote the Commlsslon to oppose the emission l fmits lnitlally proposed for the shortwave band. We don't have room to list everyone hare - your names nlled nearly 2 pages In the published "Report and Order." 'SW objectors" were the largest group of cammenters In thSs proceeding, and as a result we won a few concessions even when ATLT and the NAB failed. It Isn't often we nead a big turn-out tor a rule- making at the FCC, but It's good to know we can muater w e r a hundred articulate letler-writsrs when the need arlses.

The JPL ARC Membership and Board Meetlng was held on 24 May 89 at 12:05 p.m. In 238-543.

fhe following club members and board membem {*) were present:

Jeff Skaletsky, NBTJQ, WEB President e) Walt Mushagian, KGDNS, Past President ("1 Jim Kesterson, KA61BF, Treasurer (*) Rick McKinney, KAGDAN, Membership Sewices Courtney Duncan, N58F, Secretary {*) Jan Tarsala.

KGELG, Past President Jlm Gale, KC68SF. new member applicant Mark Schaefer, WBBCIA, Educatlon Jim Parkyn, WAGQMH, voting links

Carl added that Jan's presentation was talr and objective. He mentioned that other repeater groups have had good maintenance experience with the Kendscom repeaters. Hm addressed the problems within the club ol the need for carporate memory for ongolng maintenance and the recent ongoing maintenance- problems we have not been able to deal with fully or consis+.tentty.

Jan further recommended that, havlng selected a EOUrSe of action. we start the requisition papemork and he would obtain the technical manual for the intended repeator as soon as posstbte. If on a review of this manual it was found that them were serlous problems antlcfpsted In constructing Interfaces between the repeirter and accessories, we eauld back out of tha requisition. Otherwise, the matter would be Indirectly expedited.

The repester upgrade study cornmittme Is composed of Jan Tarsala, WBGVRN. chair: Walt Diem, WAGPEA, trustas of WBCIEA; Bob Dengler, N068; and Carl de Silveira, KGGLG. Some assistance had been received from Jon Adams, NWGH who wrote the original proposal early last year. Jan made the presentation with assfstance from Carl.

The lollowlng systems were considered.

High band equlprnent that can be modified for 220 MHz: Motorola Mlcor GE MASTR II (an early model)

?he current system was descrlbed. The proposed system, and what parts of It would ba purchased in the current action were presented.

Rewatch on the varlous systems produced the following comments:

- He one queried had ever had a good experfence with the Hamtronlcs model. - The lCOM spsctficatlons and featurss do not meet our requlramsnts. - Modification of the Motorola systems Fs very Involved.

- The MASTR II la an excellent cholce from an RF and ernbfent conditlans survlvar standpoint. Maintenance would be minimal. They a n no longer produced bul are available used. An early model Is sasier to convert.

The resulting reeommendatlons were:

Jan will revfew the manual and requeat a meeting with the board about it sometlme before the naxl regutarly scheduled board meeting (June 28).

Jlm Parkyn reported that the 921 MHz llnk system was opetdng In test mode fram the lab where he and Walt Muahuglan work (building 238, 3rd floor). The next step will be to move It to the 224.04 {WGVIO repeater) site for further testlog and burn-In. After that, It can be moved to the 224.08 (WBBIEA) site and tho voting system will be ready to be put on line when the new repeater is Installed.

Other committee reports were taken from those present.

Mark Schaefer reparted that he gets a steady demand for InformPtlon about gettlng started In amateur radlo and as 8 resurt sells Tune In the World" books ragularly. He requested an ortension of the nducatlon budget so tha+ he could buy a case of the books to have on hand. He expects them to be used up In a h w months, particularly If a license class Is held. Thu club would be paid back fram the resulting sales. Jlm Kesterson reviewad our accounts and a consensus was reached that the club had enough money to make an appropriate advance without jeopardizing our ability to fund Field Day.

Courtney Duncan moved that Mark be advanced up to $350 for these books and related beginner Items. The motton was seconded by Walt Mushagian and passed without opposition.

Courtney also reported that Stan Sander had prepared a purchase order for an 1C-275H for tha satellite station whlch was now with GI1 Duke waiting for an account number.

EDUCATION REPORT by MarK M Schaefer WB6CIA

At the last General Club Meeting, an Important pcint was brought up by George Morris W6ABW about the importance of a Ham Club, especially for a nuw comer. So with all the stuff our club 1s into these days, 1 thought I would boldly interject some absenrations I hava made abaut this club and about organizations in general especrally Ham clubs. first is that a very small percentage of the membership ever show up for the meetings. I realize this is hard with all the important things we have to get done during the day but you don't have far to travel and they do occur at regular intewals. A good turn out Is Important for several reasons. The more people that show up thm more .anthusiastic the paopta who provide the programs get and you get better programs. Same cluba have coffee and doughnuts If there" enough people (usually the XYt's) left st the end ta cleanup. Some clubs even have door prizes as jong as tltere are more people than priraa (nobady wants to end up winning something Zhby donated to the club to get rid ot it). Second, however much effort it takes to get the joh done always seams to be more trouble than it's worth. Fortunately you can feel compensated If somebody else get's something out of It too. Third. always seems to turn out that 99% of the work Is done by I% of the membership. This la not unique to ham organizations especially when the work is voluntsered (or volunteered for you). As a JPL Source person might put It, Too many cooka and not enough Indians!* or la that Too many chiefs spoil the broth7 but that"s the way It la. Forth, there Is a Ilfe cycle to these volunteaas which go8s:uninitlated -nnthusiastlc -hapless partlcjpant -feadul realiratfon that if I don't do It, it won't get done-accomplished vetaran- overburdened -burnout-out of the loop! Given enough time this cycle will repeat as a new group of the uninitiated enter the cycle. We all have our responsibilitles and prloritles and nobody expects the entire membership to jump on any bandwagons but there Is something we all can do to extend the useful phases of this cycle. L e t those members who are working for you know you appreciate their efforts. A care in point Is Eileen and John Mckinney, KAGDGV, and NGAVW, who have diligently put this newsletter together for longer than I've been around. A job well done despite rain or sleet or vacations or mailroom! If we all particlpated in on0 club aetlvity passively by just showing up to take advantage of what the club has to offer, and became actively involved by helping the rasl of the

club enjoy one of our other acllvitias there is nothing that thls talented group of Individuals can't accomplfsh. So come on let's all pitch In, be It hot dog sales. Fleld Day, repeater upgrade, Voyager Encounter, or seconding a motion. We can use your two cents worth. as well aa your four

Congratul#ions to Jesus Rivera for passing his Novtce exam. Welcome to the club. Dick Wekel WAGJBZ for passing his General. Anyone out there I missed?

ARRL NEWS (de WGEJJ)

Here'a the very latest on 220 MHz, as of Thursday, June 15. By the time you read this. the ARRL wiIl hage filed far judicial review of the FCC decisian. L should have additional Information after the League's Executive Committee meets in St. Louis on Juna 24. (That's why 1 won't be at Field Day this year! - Jay) The following is an AARL press relaaae which summarizes the situation:

FCC DECUNES TO RECONSIDER 22Q-MHZ DECISION: ARRL SAYS: NEXT STOP. FEDERAL COURT

Washington, DC, June 15 - the Federal Communications Commission announced today that It had reaffirmed its decision to reallocate the 220 to 222 MHz band from the Amateur Radio Service to comrnerciak land-mobile interests. In so doing, the FCC rejected arguments presented in some 700 petitions for reconsideration that its original decislon had failed to adequately consider the lmtsact OF the reallocation on radio amateur volunteers who supply public-service and disaster communications services to government agencles and to the general public. The American Radio Relay League was among ths parties requestlng reconsideration,

'The Commission's action today Is a disappointment, but not a surprise," commented ARRL Executive Vice President David Sumner. 'The entire history of this proceeding is one of the Commission ignoring evidence that did not support Its preconceived positton. Now it will be up to the fedsral Court cf Appeals to determine whether, by ao doing, the Commission overstepped its bounds." Sumner obsewed that the ARRL Executive Committee had already decided to ask the U.S. Courl of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to review tho FCC decision in the event the Commission refused to reconsider on Ita own,

JuBt last month, a Congressional subcommittee chaired by West Virginla Congressman Bob Wise had conducted a n oversight hearing into the Commission's decision-making process on the 220- MHz issue. "During the hearing, we obsenred a number of oecasiona where the FCC testimony overlooked evidence in the record, or contradicted what the Commission had said last August when the decision was made." Sumrter said. 'WW~ had hoped that their significance would not be lost on the FCC, and that we wouldn? be forced to go to couri to polnt them out. Instead, In tho course d today's meeting the Commission reverted to the rhetoric of last August."

PAGE 6 JUNE 1989

On June 7, Rep. Wlse wrote to FCC Chairman Patrick Amateurs use the 220 to 222 MHz fraquency band for urgtng consideration of four compramise scenarios a varlety d purposes, including development of a In which the essential interests of all partlea to state-of-the-art intercity data communicatlons the altocations dispute would be presewmd. Mr. network that offers a backup emergency Wise stated hia desire 'Yhat the Commission maka cornmu~ii~ations capability to the government and the sura that avey possible compromise solution la general public. No date has been set by FCC for considered bsfore it takes actlon on the pending terminating amatnur access to the band. petitians tor reconsideration." AARL Counsel Christopher lmlay obsawed "Despite Comtnission statements to the contrav. it was apparent today that no substantive consideration had been given to those akernatives. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has repeatedly held that an agency's stating a factor has been considered is na aubstltute for considering it.'

In the course of discussion, the Commisslonem did indicate thal they would be willing to entertain, in soma future procsedlng, the possibiltv of some shared use by amateurs of the 216-220 MHz band. 'We don't hold out much hope of this coming fo pass," Sumnsr said. 7 h e way for the Commission to demonstrate sincerity would havs been to deal with this possibility now, rather than to relegate it to some uncertain future tlme."
