NEWS FROM THE NORTH WEST
UHF CB Repeater finally active on Mt Duncan.

This was a project first conceived by CCARC, Cradle Coast Amateur Radio Club, to install a CB Repeater on Mt Duncan. Unfortunately, even though they had acquired the repeater, duplexers, coax and antennas, dwindling membership etc, had put the project on hold. CCARC had transferred ownership of the site, and all its equipment to NWTARC, and our clubâ€Ös priority was to get the CB repeater on air.

The Clubs repeater committee of Dave VK7DC, Dion VK7DB and Matt were tasked with making this happen, on Saturday 17th August  they climbed Mt Duncan, assisted by Rob VK7ARG and installed the CB repeater, which operates on UHF CB channel 44.

The St Johns Ambulance repeater that we host on the site, was also tested and is operational. The CB repeater will be a great asset for the community to converse, and also be an important communication asset, during winter floods and summer bushfires for citizens to utilize, and its installation is supported by SES, TFS, St Johns and our local council.

Thank you to CCARC for literally donating the equipment, and those that made it all possible, great job.

Northern Tasmanian Amateur Radio Club Incorporated

www.ntarc.net 

Last technical night Ross VK7ALH continued his theme for the month with another transceiver from the Ten-Tec stable. This one was called the Omni and was a fairly conventional 100 Watt, HF, Amateur transceiver of the period, circa 1980s. As you might expect it exhibited an excellent level of construction, plenty of plug in printed circuit boards and even a couple of rather nice crystal filter boards, with each filter consisting of eight individual crystals!

This rig wasnâ€Öt in for repairs but was one from Rossâ€Ö vast collection of radios and was just receiving a bit of a once over. It came to the club rooms as a comparison in technology with the Ten-Tec Jupiter a couple of weeks ago. The Jupiter was the beginning of the Software Defined Radio or SDR influence at the company. Versions of the Omni stayed in production for many years with the Omni VII still in production well past 2006.    

Andreâ€Ö VK7ZAB brought along a new soldering station that clips onto his Ryobi battery pack that he uses for his portable power tools. 

After seeing Peter VK7KPCâ€Ös soldering station on an earlier Tech Night using an Ozito battery pack he thought it was a good idea. He does have a couple of good bench soldering stations but you need power cables for antenna or motor vehicle work. He also has a gas powered iron, but that is usually empty.

Like Peter, Andreâ€Ö also purchased his from “Cross Fire Power dot com”.

https://crossfirepower.com

They are an Australian supplier doing the 3D printed cases with the integrated battery connector and built around a T12 soldering station module. All the common brand name 18 Volt batteries are supported along with a large selection of affordable tips for different jobs. The range covers from simple LED display to the OLED Pro with its settings menus.

Unlike the short replaceable tips in his old Weller and Hakko irons, these tip insert assemblies are about 150mm long. The first 100mm is inserted into the handpiece and locked into place, this contains the heating element along with the thermocouple. The last 10mm is the actual soldering tip that you see and use. This makes for faster heat-up and quicker control. Also this should be cheaper to repair if the element fails, just insert another tip assembly and you are ready to go again as all heating parts have been replaced. Check out the pictures for a better idea. 

The light weight handpiece has a motion sensor to detect when the iron is not being used and switches to a standby temperature. Andreâ€Ö demonstrated that when picked up it only took 8 seconds to heat up to operational temperature.

Using the standard PCB size tip, it easily tinned a 25 amp multi-strand wire, the tip temperature stayed rock steady with power out peaking at about 50%, so this would be more than capable of soldering on to a PCB ground plane. The web site doesnâ€Öt have any technical specifications available on the systems but packaging for the tips has DC power listed as up to 25 Volt and a maximum of 80 Watts. Andreâ€Ö purchased one of the tips suitable for SMD, so he is going to compare the performance to his trusty old irons and see if the T12 can supplement or replace them?     

And now for something completely different! As you are aware from these broadcasts, Ross VK7ALH has brought in many and various transceivers over the years being repaired, restored or just admired. This all takes time but he does sometimes actually get to use them on air! Last weekend was the International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend or ILLW for short. So Ross organised a couple of days away at the Low Head Lighthouse, located at the mouth of the River Tamar. But not just Ross, there seems to be a bit of a tradition happening that has been going for quite a few years. 

This year Ross with his VK7LH hat on was joined by VKs - Al 7AN, Roger 2RO, Graham 7GS, Dave 7LG and Peter 7ZPE. They are a pretty dedicated lot and rented the Light Keepers House at Low Head for their radio base camp set up and of course accommodation if they were lucky enough to sleep!

As the name suggests their accommodation was originally constructed for the Lighthouse Keepers to live in while they maintained the Lighthouse with its all-important light. The cottages started to fall into disrepair many years ago, but luckily this stimulated the urgency for the restoration of these heritage buildings and the eventual use as rentable accommodation. They certainly come with a pretty cool view, both visually and radio send and receive wise. 

I am not sure how the on air QSOs went but I do know the weekend was rounded off with a lunch at the Pilot Station Café, located just down the road and far enough away from the sound of the lighthouse “Fog Horn” that hopefully still sounds every Sunday, at midday, for the visitors. Their numbers were swelled with the arrival of VKs - Colin 7ZCF, Phil 7PM, Rodney 7HAM, Stuart 7ES and Fran who all happened along to enjoy lunch.

Just for information there has been a lighthouse on this site since 1833 and it was the second to be “lit” or turned on in Tasmania. The tower we currently see replaced the ailing original tower in 1888.

Hopefully we will get an in-depth update on equipment used and contacts achieved next club technical night from Ross.

As always, pictures will be available on the NTARC Web site under “Blogs” for this broadcast.

Wednesday Experimenter's Group

Last Wednesday night we focused on a Remembrance Day Contest Wrap-Up and some interesting information about learning morse code.

We started with first timer Ron VK7WRC and Ron took us through his preparation, observations and what happened after the contest with him designing a 3D print which he is calling his Flower-Squid antenna.

We then got Jim VK7JZ in the studio as this was Jimâ€Ös second RD and his first as an Advanced amateur.

We finished off the analysis with Justin VK7TW who went through his setup, scores and VKCL Analysis.

Justin VK7TW then took a look at a great video from Scott KW4JM on the 5 key points to do if starting to learn CW from his years of learning.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QcvtbuLpbA

In summary the five point are:

1). Loose the visual - ditch the paper with the dots and dashes on it - one more mental process - itâ€Ös all about audible learning.

2). Use Koch-Farnsworth Method - Koch - learn at the speed you want to attain from the start and use Farnsworth to increase the spaces between to slow things down.

aa9pw.com/morsecode

https://www.aa9pw.com/ham-morse/

Koch also has a particular sequence to learn the characters in.

3). Loose the Pencil - start with head copy - character recognition - word recognition and eventually sentence recognition.

4). Use Wordsworth - from K1IG George Alison - itâ€Ös Farnsworth for words - lift the text from a news article or other stories - exaggerate the spacing and speed up past what you want learn and you begin to hear words. http://www.oh3ac.fi/QST-Wordsworth.pdf

5). Practice Head-Send - send something you know by heart and practice sending daily.

We finished with a Future Events reminder.

Our next WEGS night is on Wednesday 18 September 2024.

Technology News
GPS spoofers 'hack time' on commercial airlines, researchers say - Creating confusion in the cockpit.

A recent surge in GPS “spoofing”, a form of digital attack which can send commercial airliners off course, has entered an intriguing new dimension, according to cyber security researchers: The ability to hack time.

There has been a 400 percent surge in GPS spoofing incidents affecting commercial airliners in recent months, according to aviation advisory body OPSGROUP.

Many of those incidents involve illicit ground-based GPS systems, particularly around conflict zones, that broadcast incorrect positions to the surrounding airspace in a bid to confuse incoming drones or missiles.

“We think too much about GPS being a source of position, but it's actually a source of time,” Ken Munro, founder of Pen Test Partners, a British cyber security firm, said during a presentation at the DEF CON hacking convention in Las Vegas.

“We're starting to see reports of the clocks on board airplanes during spoofing events start to do weird things."

In an interview with Reuters, Munro cited a recent incident in which an aircraft operated by a major Western airline had its onboard clocks suddenly sent forward by years, causing the plane to lose access to its digitally encrypted communication systems. 

The plane was grounded for weeks while engineers manually reset its onboard systems, said Munro. He declined to identify the airline or aircraft in question.

In April, Finnair temporarily paused flights to the eastern Estonian city of Tartu due to GPS spoofing which Tallin blamed on neighbouring Russia.

GPS, short for Global Positioning System, has largely replaced expensive ground devices that transmit radio beams to guide planes towards landing.

However, it is also fairly easy to block or distort GPS signals using relatively cheap and easy to obtain parts, and limited technological knowledge.

“Is it going to make a plane crash? No, it's not,” Munro told Reuters.

“What it does is it just creates a little confusion. And you run the risk of starting what we call a cascade of events, where something minor happens, something else minor happens, and then something serious happens.”
