  • April 18th is World Amateur Radio Day

    April 18th, 2025 is World Amateur Radio Day. Today marks the 100th anniversary of the formation of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) in Paris.

    From the IARU:

    Amateur Radio experimenters were the first to discover that the short wave spectrum — far from being a wasteland — could support worldwide propagation. In the rush to use these shorter wavelengths, Amateur Radio was “in grave danger of being pushed aside,” the IARU’s history has noted. Amateur Radio pioneers met in Paris in 1925 and created the IARU to support Amateur Radio worldwide.

    Many events are taking place on-the-air to honor this event:

  • AMSAT Suggests "Makers" as Candidates for Amateur Radio

    In a recent news bulletin, AMSAT encouraged amateur radio clubs to focus on Makers as a recruiting source for new members. AMSAT pointed to Makers interested in space technology as prime candidates due to the overlap in interests with small board computers (SBCs), 3D printing for antenna purposes, and custom HT firmware.

    You may recall that the 3-D printed components and Raspberry Pi (RPi) SBCs have been key components of many recent AMSAT projects. RPi. Is often the SBC of choice, especially in severely volume-restricted cubesats.

    AMSAT suggested amateur radio clubs invest in equipment such as 3D printers and SBC projects to help recruit new members. Future articles related to attracting Makers to the amateur radio space will be forthcoming from AMSAT in later issues of their weekly news bulletin.

  • RAC Votes to Cancel Attendance at Hamvention

    Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC), the national association for amateur radio in Canada, has voted to cancel plans to attend and operate a booth at Hamvention in Ohio. The organization cited heightened tensions between Canada and the United States as contributing to its decision.

    The relationship between Canada and the United States has become increasingly strained due to recent trade disputes and tariffs imposed by the US government. Adding to these challenges, controversial remarks from US leaders, including suggestions of Canada becoming the 51st state, have heightened concerns about Canadian sovereignty.

    RAC hopes to return to Hamvention in the future.

  • HamSCI Meteor Scatter QSO Party 2025 Call for Operators and Monitors

    The following is a press release from HamSCI:

    HamSCI – The Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation is preparing for a series of meteor scatter (MS) experiments later this year. The target storms are in August (Perseids) and December (Geminids). Preparation and testing are underway now. This is a combination 'special event' and a contest to generate contact data during meteor scatter events using 10 meters and 6 meters. Contest rules will be released shortly.

    Ten meters has not been used much for meteor scatter study due to past symbol rate limits. But with recent changes in FCC rules, WSJT-X/MSK144 can now be used on HF bands. The HamSCI meteor scatter event will collect contact data from both 10 meters and 6 meters as part of the scheduled events in August and December. Data will be analyzed offline, comparing data from both bands, using both PSK Reporter raw data and operator contact logs from WSJT-X. User data including both logged contact and received reports are necessary for valid experimental analysis. The latter can be provided by any receive system reporting on MSK144 through PSK Reporter.

    Currently, we need operators to be active (i.e., CQ-ing) on MSK144; or passive, if possible, reporting via PSK Reporter as 'monitors'. The best times are early morning hours prior to 10M opening to F2 propagation. Meteor scatter propagation occurs well below F2 and is supported in or near the E layer where the meteor ionization tracks occur. Saturday mornings are being used regularly to announce and coordinate 10M contacts using Ping Jockey Central. Announcements are also made on the Front Range Six Meter groups.io due to the substantial number of meteor scatter operators in that group.

    To be successful, this effort needs operators, both active and passive. The upcoming April-Lyrids shower is an excellent time to set up your equipment and join with other operators preparing for the events later this year. If you do not have the time to be active, at least set up passive reporting.PSK Reporter currently has scarce 10M MSK144 monitors; so we need to increase those numbers during the early morning hours.

    The best Lyrid times are around midnight and early morning hours, peaking April 21-22, but also for several days before and after the peak dates. We expect large numbers of 10M and 6M MSK144 operators to be both active and passive during the Lyrid events.

    Specific information for the August and December special events will be published as it becomes available, and as the planning matures. You can find the description of the HamSCI Meteor Shower QSO Party - 2025 here:

    hamsci.org/msqp-poster

    Please join us in becoming both active and/or passive operator/participants in event planning during April. Eventually, the HamSci team will be collecting operator contact information, but for now, all that is required is for participants to report through PSK Reporter. For more information on the operating guidelines for the activity, please go here:

    HamSCI serves as a means for fostering collaboration between professional researchers and amateur radio operators. It assists in developing and maintaining standards and agreements between all people and organizations involved. Its goals are to advance scientific research and understanding through amateur radio activities, encourage the development of modern technologies to support this research and provide educational opportunities for the amateur community and the public.

  • National Science Day 2025: Ham Radio Awareness Program at Shri KV Parekh Science College, Mahuva, Gujarat (INDIA)

    Rajesh Vagadia (VU2EXP) shares an exciting account of demonstrating amateur radio to a groups of students at Shri KV Parekh Science College for Natational Sciene Day.

    On the occasion of National Science Day, February 28, 2025, I, Rajesh Vagadia (VU2EXP), had the privilege of conducting a Ham Radio awareness program at the renowned Shri KV Parekh Science College in Mahuva, Gujarat (India). This prestigious institution, established by the founder of the Pidilite Group, played host to an enlightening session on Amateur Radio, coordinated by the Bhavnagar Science Center with the generous support of AMSAT-INDIA and The Amateur Radio Society of India (ARSI).

    Journey to Mahuva and APRS Experiment

    My XYL (wife) Kiran Vagadia and I embarked on our journey from Rajkot in the morning, carrying with us a range of Ham Radio equipment for demonstrations. As a live experiment, we utilized Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) to track our travel progress. Our team member Shyama Vagadia (VU3WHG-10) set up the tracking, allowing students, faculty, and ham community to monitor our movement via the aprs.fi network. This interactive exercise was well received and demonstrated real-time radio tracking capabilities.

    It was the modern-day version of ‘Are we there yet?’—except this time, students and fellow hams could actually see us moving in real-time!

    Warm Welcome and Equipment Showcase

    Upon arrival at Mahuva, we were warmly greeted by college authorities, faculty members, and enthusiastic students. We set up an elaborate display of Ham Radio equipment, including transceivers, antennas, walkie-talkies, CW keys, oscillators, a Cube Satellite model, SDR dongles, measuring instruments, amateur radio documents, logbooks, licenses, awards, and books for reference. This hands-on exposure helped attendees understand the practical aspects of amateur radio operations.

    Informative Session and Interactive Presentation

    The session commenced with a short video clip from the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) that provided an introductory glimpse into the world of Amateur Radio. Our main presentation covered the rich history of Ham Radio, tracing its evolution and technological advancements from CW to Satellite! Students were particularly fascinated to learn that Ham Radio is the oldest form of social media!

    “Before WhatsApp, before Twitter, before Instagram, before even the dial-up internet sound haunted our childhood, Ham Radio operators were already chatting across the globe—without any emoji, instead only smiley icon represented by character HI!”

    We introduced our organizations, AMSAT-INDIA and Amateur Radio Society of India and it’s role. We did provided an explanation of Ham Radio's technical workings and it’s operations. Key topics covered included:

    • Types of radios / modes and their applications
    • Various modes and frequencies used in amateur radio
    • Importance of antennas and their different configurations
    • Exciting Ham Radio events such as IOTA (Islands on the Air), Hilltop operations, Lighthouse activations, JOTA (Jamboree on the Air), POTA (Park on the Air), etc
    • Usage of RST System, Ham terminology, Q-Codes, abbreviations, and callsign country prefixes
    • The procedure for obtaining a Ham Radio license, syllabus, and study resources

    We also highlighted modern advancements in the field, such as; Moon Bounce (EME), Satellite Communications (LEO, MEO, GEO), APRS, Tracking High Altitude Balloon (HAB), HF weak signal modes for challenging conditions, repeater usage, Nets, and the thrill of Contesting.

    The Power of RTL-SDR for Non-Hams

    It was an exciting aspect for students how anyone can explore the radio spectrum using an RTL-SDR dongle, without requiring a Ham Radio license. With this affordable device, students are encouraged to experiment to;

    • Listen to Amateur Radio conversation & OSCAR Satellite downlinks
    • Receive NOAA Weather Satellite real time images
    • Track aircraft via ADS-B
    • Monitor ISS communications / Voice repeater
    • Receive SSTV Images from ISS

    “Who needs Netflix when you can explore the airwaves!”

    Special ARISS Audio Clip and Live VHF Demonstration

    A particularly inspiring moment came when we played a recorded audio clip from the ARISS student outreach program, where my daughter Sakshi Vagadia (VU3EXP) had a live telebridge conversation with astronaut Sunita Williams KD5PLB aboard the International Space Station on November 14, 2012. The students were thrilled to witness the real-world impact of Ham Radio in space communications. (YouTube link: Click Here)

    To give students hands-on experience, we conducted a live VHF demonstration. Dividing participants into three groups, we enabled them to communicate using Ham Radio terminology. The excitement among students and faculty was evident as they pressed the PTT button and spoke over the radio for the first time!

    Encouraging Future Participation

    The event concluded with very positive feedback and a vote of thanks delivered over the radio by college teachers and Shri Harshad Joshi Sir. A notable outcome of the session was the overwhelming interest shown by students and faculty in establishing an amateur radio club on campus. We assured our support in guiding them through the process.

    Visit to Jegri Island Lighthouse

    After the event, we took the opportunity to visit the picturesque Jegri Island Lighthouse, located just 11 km away. Surrounded on three sides by the sea, this magnificent 30-meter-high square masonry tower, adorned with 4 black and white bands, left us mesmerized.

    Standing at the Jegri Island Lighthouse, surrounded by the sea, I couldn’t help but think—what a perfect place for my possible 3rd lighthouse activation! I hope to return here to activate this lighthouse under the International Lighthouse & Lightship Weekend (ILLW) program.

    Conclusion

    With a total journey spanning 550 km in a day, this was a rewarding experience dedicated to educating young minds about the fascinating world of Ham Radio on National Science Day. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Shri KV Parekh Science College, Bhavnagar Science Center, AMSAT-INDIA, ARSI, and all those who contributed to making this event a success. A special thanks to my XYL, Kiran Vagadia, for her constant support throughout the program.

  • Fram2 Makes First Amateur Radio Contact from a SpaceX Spacecraft

    The Fram2 mission successfully launched from the east coast of the US via a SpaceX rocket late Monday evening. Just a few hours later around 9:30 AM Berlin time, Rabea Rogg (LB9NJ) became the first astronaut and amateur radio operator to make contact with Earth from a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. Rogg is also the first woman from Germany in space. Contact was made between Rogg and the DK0TU amateur radio club at the Technical university of Berlin.

    The amateur radio contact is significant as the International Space Station (ISS) faces a decommissioning date within the next 5 years. ISS has been the primary source of amateur radio voice contacts from astronauts since the NASA Space Shuttle program was sunset in 2011. Fram2 has demonstrated that SpaceX may be a viable alternative for space based amateur radio QSOs with astronauts beyond the ISS's lifespan.

    In addition to voice contact with the university, Fram2 is also conducting an SSTV event, Fram2Ham, that encourages students to participate in a puzzle activity. Rogg will use a battery-powered Icom IC-705 to transmit SSTV images of polar regions that students are expected to receive and piece together to form a larger image. Because of the nature of the contest, ARISS is asking any received images to not be posted to social media until after the event concludes. Fram2 is expected to orbit Earth for 3-5 days.

    Anyone with a receiver capable of capturing SSTV images should tune to 437.550 MHz and expect a Robot 36 formatted image. Doppler correction tables are available from ARISS.

    Fram2 is a private space flight mission funded by cryptocurrency entrepreneur and Fram2 Mission Commander Chun Wang.
