Hello all, I hope that you and yours had a safe, cool, and pleasant week.

We have had some storms here in Virginia this past week that have brought some needed rain
and unneeded storm damage and power outages. What about this summer's heat wave. Wow!!,
several 100 degree days in a row. I'm sure the power companies are making bucks hand over fist.

How did you do in last weekend IOTA Contest?
I was able to work about a dozen stations during homework breaks.

This is the last week of summer classes and I'm looking forward to the break,
before the fall classes start.

Ham activities wise, this weekend appears to be rather quite. There are just a couple of special events (see special events section)
and one cw, ssb contest. Well it is summer and folks are on vacation.

Have a wonderful week friends.

God Bless America

FCC Launches Consumer Help Center
Beginning July 28, those who have dealings with the FCC will have a new tool that the FCC claims will put them “within one click of all the information they want” from the Commission: a new “easy-to-use” Consumer Help Center.

“Our new Consumer Help Center makes it easy for consumers to learn about our work and take action,” said FCC Chief of the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau Joel Gurin said in a press release. “Here, in one place, consumers can do a number of things, such as read about consumer issues, get practical advice for avoiding problems, file a complaint, comment on our rulemakings, or read what our FCC experts are saying in our Consumer Blog.”

The Consumer Help Center is produced by the FCC’s Consumer Task Force, an inter-bureau group established by Chairman Julius Genachowski at the beginning of 2010. The Task Force has led several recent initiatives on major consumer issues. The Consumer Help Center includes:

Everything consumers need to know about Bill Shock and Early Termination Fees -- two common issues that affect wireless customers.
Savvy Traveler tips -- advice on making phone calls when travelling abroad.
Broadband Speed Test -- consumers can test the speed of their broadband service.
Fact Sheet Library -- more than 150 consumer Fact Sheets on telecom subjects.
Links to additional resources on a range of issues, including privacy.
Links to file a complaint to the FCC or comment on our rulemakings.
Blog posts about consumer issues -- with consumer comments welcome.

ARRL TELLS MIDWEST CITY THAT ITS RFI ORDENANCE IS ILLEGAL AND ORDERS IT BE RESCINDED
The ARRL Stated that the Federal Communications Commission is the only entity empowered to regulate radio frequency interference, the ARRL has notified Midwest City, Oklahoma, that its local ordinance 27-3(9), seeking to regulate radio transmissions and RFI, is in the League's words, "null and void."

Midwest City is located in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. On July 21st, ARRL General Counsel Christopher D. Imlay, W3KD, wrote to Midwest City Assistant City Manager Dave Ballew, City Attorney Katherine Bolles and Director of Code Enforcement Mike Stroh. In his letter he informed them that the ARRL had been provided with a copy of the ordinance by radio amateurs in that community. Imlay also stated that the League was aware that a notice was sent by Stroh on behalf of the city to one of ARRL's members who resides in Midwest City. In it, the city asserted that the FCC licensed radio amateur to whom the letter was addressed was in violation of the ordinance as the result of radio frequency interference appearing in a neighbor complainant's home electronic equipment. That radio amateur was ordered to remedy the problem in one day, under penalty of a sanction assessed against his real property.

Imlay then stated categorically that the city had absolutely no legal ground on which to enact or enforce its ordinance. His letter explained in detail to the city officials that the FCC is the only entity empowered to regulate RFI and that Radio Frequency Interference is not a matter subject for municipal regulation by Midwest City. He went on to state that Midwest City's ordinance 27-3(9), which purports to regulate RFI is preempted on its face by federal oversight and is therefore the city's ordinance is null and void.

In his note, attorney Imlay expressed his hope that it will not be necessary to submit the Midwest City ordinance to the FCC by way of a Request for a Declaratory Ruling. But warned W3KD, that would be the ARRL's planned course of action unless the ordinance is rescinded. He also says that the letter from Director of Code Enforcement Stroh to the radio amateur in Midwest City must be retracted immediately. (ARN)

FLORIDA REPEATER COUNCIL RELEASES VHF AND UHF NARROWBANDING PROPOSAL
The Florida Repeater Council has officially posted it's proposed narrow-banding recommendation for 2 meters and 70 centimeters on its website. The concept adopted by the Florida Repeater Council leadership basically follows the narrow-banding in the Part 90 VHF and UHF commercial services. Its also based on the knowledge that most if not all of the newer amateur radio FM equipment available on the market today in the 144 to148 MHz and 430 to 450 MHz range is capable of using 6.25 KHz channels if deviation is set at 2.5 KHz deviation.

Since the use of these new technology systems usually requires the purchase of new radios which are compatible with the new technology systems, by allocating narrow band channels for only newer technology systems there should be a minimal impact on existing wide band repeaters and their users.

While 12.5 and 6.25 KHz channel spacing has been used on the UHF commercial and amateur bands for some time, the VHF bands have used 15 KHz spacing for decades. Since the legacy spacing of VHF commercial and the 146 to 148 MHz amateur service bands do not permit the use of 12.5 or 6.25 KHz spacing without a complete and disruptive re-farming of the entire band, the Florida Repeater Council is proposing to follow the FCC's VHF plan for Part 90. This will allow use of 7.5 KHz spacing between the legacy 15 KHz channels in the 146 to 148 MHz subband 2 meter and 10 kHz spacing between the existing 144.5 to 145.5 MHz channels in the lower subband.

The Florida repeater council says that most newer amateur radio equipment evaluated can program to the 7.5 or 10 KHz spacing without difficulty. However in some case the scanning or stepping functions of some radios may require software or firmware updates to properly scan these new channels in a given radios VFO mode.

The proposed changes will create 71 new frequency pairs for narrow band repeaters on 2 meters. It would also significantly expand the number of UHF narrow band channel pairs available as well. This says the council should provide the needed spectrum for experimentation and development of the newer technology systems that utilize narrow band emission such as D-Star and P-25 digital audio relay services.

The Florida Repeater Council will be looking for public comment on its proposal by e-mail to narrowbandcomments (at) florida-repeaters (dot) org or at the Melborne Hamfest this coming October. More on this proposed band change is on-line at www.florida-repeaters.org. (KS4VT, FRC)

FCC TO REDUCE VANITY FEE BY A DIME
The cost of getting a ham radio vanity call sign is about to go down a dime. On July 19th, the Federal Communications Commission announced via the Federal Register that the cost of an Amateur Radio vanity call sign will decrease 10 cents to $13.30. The new charge takes effect 30 days after publication, making August 17th the first day the new fee is in effect. (FCC, ARRL)

ILLW - International Lighthouse/Lightship Weekend
There are just 3 weeks to go before this year's event kicks off on 21st August for 48 hours of lighthouse contacts all around the world. USA amateurs have registered 39 lighthouses to date which is a lot less than their record number of 83 back in 2001. Australia is currently leading the field with 53 entries closely followed by Germany with 50.
There are some exotic locations for the DX chasers and Taiwan is a first ever entry for that country.
There is still time to find a lighthouse and register your interest in this fun weekend event now in its 12th year.

Propagation Forecast:
ARLP004 Propagation de K7RA
Sunspot activity increased again this week, but on Tuesday and
Wednesday (July 27-28), a stiff solar wind increased Earth's
geomagnetic activity, which is a negative for HF propagation.

Sunspot group 1089 grew, shrunk, and is growing again, visible a
total of 12 days as of early Friday. Three more sunspot groups
appeared this week, with the latest, 1092 rapidly emerging on
Wednesday with a relative size of 180 millionths of a solar
hemisphere, growing to 210 on Thursday. The relative size of group
1089 for July 19-29 was 130, 150, 310, 240, 200, 160, 140, 100, 70,
90 and 140. Unfortunately, 1089 will shortly be out of view,
rotating across our Sun's western horizon.

Last week's bulletin ARLP029 mentioned rising weekly solar flux
averages (our reporting week for data at the bottom of each bulletin
runs from Thursday through Wednesday) and for the last four weeks it
was 72.8, 79.2, 80.6 and 85.3. Average daily sunspot numbers over
the same weeks were 16, 18.9, 21.7 and 35.6.

Although the average for this week was greater than last, a glance
at a table of sunspot numbers at
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpdir/indices/DSD.txt shows that the
highest sunspot numbers for July were really centered around the
seven days from July 20-26.

Predicted solar flux (as of Thursday) is 87 for Friday and Saturday
(July 30-31), 85 on August 1-3, and 87 on August 4-6. Predicted
planetary A index for those days is 8 on July 30-31 and 5 on August
1-9. This is from the USAF and NOAA forecast at
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpmenu/forecasts/45DF.html, released daily
around 2100z.

Geophysical Institute Prague seems to agree with NOAA/USAF,
predicting quiet to unsettled conditions for July 30-31, and quiet
conditions August 1-5.

Sunspot numbers for July 22 through 28 were 39, 45, 41, 39, 39, 15,
and 31 with a mean of 35.6. 10.7 cm flux was 87.7, 86.4, 85.2,
85.2, 84.4, 82.6 and 85.3 with a mean of 85.3. Estimated planetary A
indices were 5, 8, 5, 6, 6, 19 and 14 with a mean of 9. Estimated
mid-latitude A indices were 4, 6, 4, 5, 5, 11 and 10 with a mean of
6.4.

DX Summit

MARCONI RADIO CLUB OF NEWFOUNDLAND INC.

The 6 metre beacon (VO1ZA) operates on the campus of Memorial University and was designed and installed by members of the MUN ARC in June of 1990. It operates on a frequency of 50.0400 MHz (space) 50.0395 MHz (mark) FSK CW with 1.5 watts output to a 0.27 wave gamma fed vertical (omni). The beacon is maintained by the Marconi Radio Club of Newfoundland. Following an electrical storm, the beacon was off the air for several days. Service was restored on 1500 UTC 5 September 2005.

A 2 metre CW transatlantic beacon is operating on 144.400 MHz,+-0.5 kHz transmitting with an ERP of 2.2 kW and beaming 60 degrees.

A 2 metre FM beacon transmitts audio Morse on 146.31 MHz. This beacon has been on the air since 14 September 1986 and has been used to study seasonal variability in local VHF propagation. It also serves as a bench mark for repeater antenna receiving performance in the region.

A long wave beacon is in operation on 137.7770 kHz
