Philippine Amateur Radio Association Activates HERO for Typhoon
Mangkhut
With Typhoon Mangkhut (locally Ompong) threatening, the Philippine
Amateur Radio Association (PARA) activated its Ham Emergency Radio
Operations (HERO) at a Code Yellow level on September 12, per a
declaration from PARA Chief Operating Officer Roberto Vicencio,
DU1VHY. At Code Yellow, stations are advised to ensure that all
equipment is operational, check backup power sources, and take any
necessary precautionary measures. For the first time ever, the
Philippines National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) had
authorized PARA/HERO volunteers to communicate directly with NTC's
regional offices during the pending emergency, rather than through the
NTC headquarters.

typhoon. Elevation is about 3,100 feet ASL. [Courtesy of Roberto
Vicencio, DU1VHY]
Typhoon Mangkhut was the strongest typhoon to strike Luzon Island
since Typhoon Megi in 2010, and the strongest typhoon to make landfall
in the Philippines since Super Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013. A
Category 4 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale, Mangkhut was packing
nearly 150 MPH winds, with gusts of more than 180 MPH as it approached
a predicted September 14 landfall on extreme northern Luzon Island.
The storm inflicted widespread destruction, with heavy damage to
structures, and caused landslides. More than 80 people lost their
lives as a result of the storm. Evacuations were ordered in several
regions. The storm went on to wreak heavy damage in Hong Kong.
In the Philippines, volunteers Tonyo Casuga, DV1XND, and Aurell
Rabena, DV1YMK, immediately activated PARA club station DX1PAR on 24/7
basis. The next day, DU1IVT, DU1VHY, DU1UGZ, DU1EIB, and DU1GG were
expected to leave for Cotabato City in Mindanao for a HERO orientation
seminar. PARA Director and former COO Thelma Pascua, DU1IVT -- who had
been scheduled to travel to Mindanao for a HERO orientation seminar --
remained behind to oversee the activities of HERO volunteers on 40 and
2 meters and to coordinate with the various NTC regional offices. More
than a dozen volunteers stepped up to help.
Club station DX1ARC activated its Echolink node, and Ronald Hernandez,
DU2RD, fed reports to HERO until September 15 or until telephone and
internet services began to return. Rollydel Tamin, 4F2RV, contributed
reports from Isabela Province.

Telecommunications radios during typhoon. [Courtesy of Roberto
Vicencio, DU1VHY]
When the storm brought gusty winds and a lot of rain to Metro Manila
on the evening of September 14, HERO experienced a sustained string of
check-ins, with no fewer than 150 stations reporting from the start of
the activation. According to HERO, reports also streamed in
continuously on 2 meters in Metro Manila and nearby areas, while
affiliated clubs activated their own HERO nets and passed whatever
reports they received to the HERO emergency frequency. During the HERO
activation, DU Net was called four times a day, aside from the
continuous reports on weather conditions and monitoring of affected
areas on 7.095 MHz.
In central Luzon, PARA District 3 Manager Edilberto, DU3JA, supervised
the activation of the NTC Region 3 station in San Fernando, Pampanga.
NTC regional offices in Region 1, CAR, Tuguegarao, and Region 3 all
coordinated with the HERO network on 7.095 MHz in addition to the
regular NTC net frequency of 7.404 MHz, also staffed by ham radio
volunteers at NTC headquarters. HERO reports included the status of
telecommunication services and electrical power in the affected areas,
as well as reports on casualties, flooding, and health-and-welfare
traffic.
Several stations in the least-affected areas of Mindanao and Visayas
supported HERO by acting as relay stations during periods of poor
propagation. HERO activity for Mangkhut (Ompong) stood down on
September 16.
Scouting's 2018 Jamboree on the Air Set for October 19 - 21
Scouting organizations are still registering to participate in the
2018 Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) over the October 19 - 21 weekend. With
about 1 month to go, JOTA Coordinator Jim Wilson, K5ND, told ARRL that
registration is "probably on target" at this point. US registrations
stood at 235 as of the end of last week. Right after JOTA 2017, 489 US
locations had signed up, although that included both Jamboree on the
Air and Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI) participants, which, Wilson
said, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) have "remained steadfast" in
considering JOTA and JOTI as separate events, although, he noted, this
is not the case at the world level.
"Our goals are primarily to grow participation," Wilson told ARRL.
"The World JOTA-JOTI Team has set a goal of 3 million participants by
2021; 2017 saw 1.5 million worldwide. Sign-ups at the world level
right now are at 1,428 locations. Wilson said that, in the US, many
locations wait until the last minute to register their participation.
In 2017, some 7,900 Scouts took part in JOTA, down by nearly 10,800
participants from 2016, but topping participation for 2014 and 2015.
Total radio contact numbers were down from 2016 and 2015.
"We've also put in place a number of aids to help people improve their
on-the-air experience, which will be challenging without sunspots,"
Wilson pointed out. "We've provided a video of how to work HF for
JOTA. We've also provided a quick reference card to help Scouts during
the QSO." Recommended JOTA frequencies are listed on the K2BSA
website. "Operators should note that these frequencies are starting
points to find QSOs," Wilson added. "They can also turn the dial to
find other stations on the air. It's not like a repeater." A list of
Girl Scout activities supported by JOTA-JOTI has also been posted.
Held each year on the third full weekend in October, JOTA is the
world's largest Scouting event. JOTA uses Amateur Radio to link Scouts
and hams around the world. Scouts of any age and gender can
participate, from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts and Venturers.
Radio amateurs at the local level are encouraged to work with a scout
council or unit to set up a JOTA station or arrange to have Scouts
visit their shacks. "You can also participate just by making QSOs with
the many JOTA stations that will be on the air," Wilson said.

ARRL Foundation Invites Scholarship Applications for 2019-2020
Academic Year
The ARRL Foundation will begin accepting scholarship applications on
October 1 from eligible radio amateurs planning to pursue
post-secondary education in the 2019-2020 academic year. Completed
applications must be received by January 31, 2019. Individuals and
clubs support many of the more than 80 scholarships, ranging from $500
to $5,000, that are awarded annually. Applicants for all scholarships
must be active radio amateurs and must complete and submit the online
application.
"The ARRL Foundation Board of Directors is honored to be able to
continue to offer scholarships to assist Amateur Radio operators in
offsetting the costs of higher education," said ARRL Foundation
Secretary and ARRL Development Manager Lauren Clarke, KB1YDD. "All
ARRL Foundation scholarships are made possible by individuals or
clubs, and we are grateful for their support."
Students planning to apply for 2019-2020 academic year awards should
first carefully review the eligibility requirements and scholarship
descriptions. Although only one application per applicant is required,
applicants may ask to be considered for as many of the scholarships
for which they are eligible (some scholarships have geographic
criteria or other requirements). Check off only the scholarships for
which you would like to be considered. In addition to completing the
online application, applicants must submit a PDF of their academic
transcript from their most recently completed school year (emailed to
foundation@arrl.org).
Applications are due on January 31, 2019, by 11:59 PM ET. Applications
without accompanying transcripts will not be considered. Awards
winners are typically notified in mid-May by USPS mail and email.
For more information about ARRL Foundation scholarships, email the
ARRL Foundation or call (860) 594-0348.
HamSCI Expanding to the Southern Hemisphere
The South African Radio League (SARL) and AMSAT-SA are taking the ham
radio/citizen scientist concept to the Southern Hemisphere. The new
organization will be known as Amateur Radio Science Citizen
Investigation, or HamSCI SA, and will be based on the successful
HamSCI now operating in the US and the UK. The HamSCI concept was
developed by American scientist-radio amateurs who study the upper
atmosphere and space physics. According to a recent ee publishers
article by Hans van de Groenendaal, ZS6AKV, HamSCI SA will be a
platform for publicizing and promoting projects that advance
scientific research and understanding through Amateur Radio
activities, encourage the development of new technologies to support
such research, and providing educational opportunities for the amateur
community and the general public, with a focus on youth.
"Hans van de Groenendaal interviewed both Phil Erickson, W1PJE, and me
over Skype a few months ago," HamSCI's Nathaniel Frissel, W2NAF, told
ARRL. "I'm quite happy that they are doing this."
The South African umbrella association will link up with scientists in
various electronics and physics disciplines to enhance research
opportunities. SARL and AMSAT-SA currently are involved in 5 MHz
propagation research, and a study of the rapid increases in the RF
noise floor, its causes and possible mitigation, plus the possible
mitigation of noise pollution that could ultimately render the radio
spectrum useless, particularly for weak-signal communication.
HamSCI SA will provide a platform to foster collaborations between
professional researchers and radio amateurs. "It will assist in
developing and maintaining standards and agreements between all people
and organizations involved," van de Groenendaal wrote. "HamSCI SA will
not perform research on its own. Rather, it will support other
research programs such as the SARL's 5 MHz propagation study, the RF
noises monitoring projects, and programs funded by structures such as
the National Research Foundation."
SARL and AMSAT SA have invited interested individuals to join the
HamSCI SA initiative and offer their expertise.
"It will work two ways," remarked SARL President Nico van Rensburg,
ZS6QL. "It will create interesting activities for radio amateurs, in
particularly for the new generation of young people who have been
bitten by the 'radio bug' but need more challenges than just
communications. For the scientific community it means that they can
involve many more people in their projects and make a contribution to
make science popular."
In the US, HamSCI's first major project was to study the effects on
the ionosphere of the August 2017 solar eclipse, the path of which
traversed the continental US and caused large-scale changes in
ionospheric densities.
Sweden's Telecommunications Regulatory Agency to Require Fee to Run
More than 200 W
Effective on November 1, radio amateurs in Sweden who want to run more
than 200 W PEP in certain Amateur Radio allocations will have to apply
for a transmitter license to do so. Sweden's telecoms agency PTS has
announced a modified listing of license-free transmitters that spells
out the changes for Amateur Radio and other services. Sweden
eliminated Amateur Radio licenses in 2004, and Amateur Radio in Sweden
is "permission free," but prospective radio amateurs still must pass
an examination. A certificate and a call sign, valid for life, are
issued without any future fees. Up until now, the maximum permitted
power on most HF bands has been 1 kW with no additional authorization
required.
"It will be interesting to see how many active [Swedish] operators
will apply for high-power permits," said Henryk Kotowski, SM0JHF, who
alerted ARRL to the release of the official PTS order. "I will not.
There is a general trend to use less power and smarter, efficient
modes."
Under the amended regulations, radio amateurs would have to apply for
permission to run more than 200 W on 160 (1,810 - 1,850 kHz only), 80,
40, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, and 2 meters, as well as 70 centimeters, and
the 1.2, 5.6, 10, 24, 47 GHz, and higher Amateur Radio allocations.
Power restrictions would continue to apply on the 2,200 and 630-meter
bands (1 W ERP), on certain segments of 160 meters, and on 60 meters
(15 W EIRP), 30 meters (150 W PEP), and 6 meters (200 W PEP). The new
regulations would require contesting and moonbounce enthusiasts to
register their fixed installations in order to use a high-power
amplifier. The fee to register to operate with more than 200 W PEP
would be approximately $32 US.
Permits will be issued for 3 years and renewed automatically, assuming
the conditions for granting the permit are still met and comply with
all rules. Individuals or clubs may register up to five different
fixed locations.
In Brief...
The VP6D Ducie Island 2018 DXpedition October 20 through November 3
will use DXA to post contacts on a near real-time basis. "Bob
Schmieder, KK6EK, of Cordell Expeditions, offered the use of DXA, and
we gladly accepted," the DXpedition said in a news update this week.
"Within 60 seconds of your contact with VP6D, the browser page is
automatically updated to show your call sign; this confirms that your
contact is in the log (DXA reads the VP6D log). This process
eliminates the need for duplicate contacts on the same band/mode and
minimizes the confusion caused by pirates or other DXpeditions
operating at the same time." The DXpedition leaders said they
performed an end-to-end test of the DXA system, and expressed
confidence that DXA "will significantly reduce, or eliminate, the
hundreds of emails asking for 'log checks.' If you see your call sign
on DXA, you're in the log." The VP6D Ducie Island 2018 DXpedition will
continue through November 3. The VP6D team also plans to put Ducie
Island on 6-meter moonbounce for the first time ever. Operation will
be on 50.200 MHz using JT65.
Amateur Radio retailer Radio City, Inc. of Mounds View, Minnesota, has
announced it is closing. "It's been a wonderful 36 years for us at
Radio City, and we have decided to retire and close," owners Dan,
KB0XC, and Maline Fish said in a message on the retailer's website.
"We are so thankful for the many years of support, and we have enjoyed
working with you, our customers. The technical, intelligent, and
polite conversations plus advice have been invigorating, thus making
this decision extremely difficult for us." The Fishes said they will
shut down by year's end, "or a bit sooner, as we empty our shelves of
new and used materials." Their last stop on a "final goodbye tour"
will be Fallfest in Carlton, Minnesota, on September 29. A goodbye
party is set for October 6 at the store.
AMSAT has announced the results of its 2018 Board of Directors
election. AMSAT-NA has announced that Tom Clark, K3IO; Mark Hammond,
N8MH, and Bruce Paige, KK5DO, have won new 2-year terms on the AMSAT
Board of Directors. The First Alternate is Peter Portanova, W2JV. The
Second Alternate is Scott Harvey, KA7FVV. Both will serve 1-year
terms. The results of the voting, with 698 ballots cast, were: Tom
Clark, K3IO, 574; Mark Hammond, N8MH, 507; Bruce Paige, KK5DO, 402,
Peter Portanova, W2JV, 359, and Scott Harvey, KA7FVV, 176. -- Thanks
to AMSAT-NA Manager Martha Saragovitz and AMSAT Secretary Clayton
Coleman, W5PFG
The Larkfield Amateur Radio Club (LARC) in Huntington, New York,
provided communication support for the 41st Northport Great Cow Harbor
10K / 2K Run on September 15. The nonprofit event is held in
cooperation with various community organizations. LARC members
provided communications from the starting point, at various positions
along the course, and at the finish line. One LARC radio operator
equipped with a radio took part in the race, and an EMT-radio amateur
rode a Northport Fire Department Gator that traveled the course. A net
control station with two radio operators was established to monitor
and direct all communications and to contact EMTs when needed. Three
medical needs that occurred during the event were swiftly resolved.
Eighteen LARC members participated, assisted by two members of the
Great South Bay Amateur Radio Club (GSBARC).
