Save the Planet! 250th Success for 3 Counties Group
MEMBERS OF THE Mersey Lightvessel Preservation Society (MLPS),
a registered charity, operated GB2LBL from the lightship Planet
berthed in Birkenhead docks over the weekend of 18 - 20 October last
year. MLPS is trying to raise money to buy the Planet, restore her to
her original specifications and keep her on Merseyside. The special
event raised over £100 to save the lightship and also marked the
Queen’s Golden Jubilee year. With the latter aim in mind, GB2LBL
was attempting to contact other stations in the Commonwealth: the
event started well with the first SSB contact to Tasmania and the first
on CW to Alice Springs.
Despite ‘local QRM’ from
the maintenance crew hammering right outside the
shack, the two stations went
on to make contacts with the
Turks and Caicos islands,
Gibraltar, Cyprus, Malta, and
Canada, as well as dozens of
other countries. Other interesting contacts included another lightship
in the harbour at Keele, Germany, and a cargo ship off Port Elizabeth,
South Africa.
Members of the public were invited on board to sign the visitors’
book and very generously donated to the collecting bucket. The
group wishes to thank ML&S and Kenwood (UK) for their help.
MLPS is looking for new members (at £5 a year) and for individual
and corporate donations to help to save the Planet: please see the
website at www.barlightvessel.org.uk Donations / membership subscriptions can be sent to Bill Harrison, Treasurer, 2 Mount House
Road, Formby, Merseyside L37 3LB or for more information contact
chairman Stan McNally, tel: 0151 648 2266.
M3 ‘QSO Party’ A Big Success
THE M3 QSO Party on 40m on 1 January was a huge success with
hundreds of newly-licensed M3 amateurs and their friends wanting to
join in. Richard Jolliffe, G3ZGC, said: “I planned just to join in but
when I switched on there were two M3s looking for a net controller.
So as one of the Newbury club’s Foundation Licence instructors I
volunteered. Now there are 6000 licensed M3s, so even if only 1 in
10 decided to join I realised that there could be a big response. The
actual pile-up was certainly the largest I have ever heard and I had to
go to letters in the suffix and ask for M3 Alfa stations and work
through the alphabet. In two hours I worked 112. At least half as many
again were gotaways.” Richard added, “What was very noticeable
was that the standard of operating was fantastic by the M3s although
some full licensees left a lot to be desired. It was noticeable how
appreciative most of the M3s were at having passed their exams.
Many messages of thanks were passed to their local clubs. An
excellent event.” Douglas Nixon, M3BKC, was one of the numerous
Foundation Licensees joining in the fun. He said, “Richard did a
splendid job as net controller during the hectic conditions that
followed at times during the next two hours. Roger, G4RUW, also
from Newbury, took over at 1200, followed by John, G4TSN, from
Nottingham. Many thanks to all concerned.”
Another Mountain to Climb
ON 1 JANUARY South Africa became the seventh country to have
a ‘Summits on the Air’ (SOTA) scheme. SOTA is an award scheme
that encourages portable operation from hilltops. It started in March
2002 with schemes in England and Wales, which were joined by the
Isle of Man, Italy, Scotland and Northern Ireland. SOTA has proved
very popular and already nearly 400 summit expeditions to over 180
summits have taken place in the UK. The Republic of Ireland is
expected to be the next country to join - by St Patrick’s Day, 17 March.
Full details are at http://www.sota.org.uk

writes from Koror, Palau, to ask
if anyone can provide a crystal

He says, “the original was in an
octal holder but FT 243 or FT 241
would do with the frequency a bit

Duke of Edinburgh to
Open East Coast Flood
Exhibition
T
HE EAGLE Radio
Group [see RadCom December 2002 page 34 Ed] is planning to operate
GB0ERG to mark the occasion
of the 50th anniversary of the
East Coast Floods on 31 January
1953. The station will be part of
an exhibition to be opened by the
Duke of Edinburgh at the Dunes
Entertainment
Centre
in
Mablethorpe. The Duke visited
Mablethorpe and Sutton-on-Sea
immediately after the flood, and
saw the devastation at first hand.
The role played by amateur radio
during this time was pivotal to
the setting-up of Raynet.
Humber Radio, GKZ, had to close
down due to flooding. Amateurs
continued to monitor the distress
frequencies of 500 and 2182kHz,
and Cliff Newby, G3EBH, was
one of a number of amateurs who
worked out-of-band to answer
shipping in distress, and was then
able to co-ordinate with the Coast
Guard service. Amateurs also
helped the emergency services
ascertain the scale of the
disaster.
David Hopcroft, station manager at Humber Radio, wrote the
following in an article on the
The Mablethorpe Dunes Entertainment Centre, home of GB0ERG and the
east coast flood exhibition.
history of Humber Radio: “On
the night of 31 January 1953 the
staff on duty, though used to
handling Distress traffic, suddenly found themselves to be in
distress. During severe gales at a
period of high tides, the sea broke
through the coastal defences and
flooded the station that was located just behind sandhills close
to the sea. Urgency (XXX) traffic
was in progress with MV
Levenwood in difficulties in rough
seas when the power failed. Very
shortly after the emergency genPhoto: David Hopcroft, Humber Radio

Station near Louth.
erator also failed. The last entry
in the WT log reads ‘GNF de
GKZ, Station Flooding, Ceasing
Operations’. . . The whole of the
district was by now under water.
The sea had broken through defences in many places, not only
in this area but also other parts of
the country and across in Holland. Services were resumed a
few days later using the mobile
station set up for just such an
emergency. It was a converted
bus parked on a hill some 15
miles inland. Permanent repairs
took about six months before
‘normal service was resumed’.”
The Eagle Radio Group also
plans to put on a display of 1950s
equipment at the exhibition to
demonstrate the technical
changes which have taken place
over the last 50 years. An article
on the 50 years of amateur radio
emergency service will be published in RadCom next month.
National Science Week, 7 - 16 March
NATIONAL SCIENCE Week
takes place this year between
7 and 16 March. This is an ideal
opportunity for radio clubs or
groups of individuals to put on a
special event station to demonstrate amateur radio to the general public.
The RSGB has produced a
whole series of posters and leaflets to help you to put on a successful event. These include press
release letterheads to give your
press release a professional look,
A3 and A2 size posters, and even
amateur radio lectures on paper,
acetates or PowerPoint. You supply the manpower: we will help
5DG&RP ♦ )HEUXDU\
with the rest. Contact RSGB HQ
by 14 February at the latest to
state your requirements.
As part of National Science
Week, GB4FUN will be touring
the country demonstrating amateur radio.
● GB4FUN recently visited The
Priory Lincoln School of Science
and Technology following a request by teacher Dave Mackinder,
G4DWP. In what was seen as one
of the most successful visits by
GB4FUN yet, the year 7 pupils
passed greetings messages to
amateurs on HF and used the
computer-controlled satellite
tracking equipment on board the
van. The demonstration was such a
success that a new
after-school amateur radio club is
being formed and
there is a waiting
list for the first
Foundation
Course at the beginning of next
term!
The visit was reported by the Lincoln Chronicle and
generated much
good publicity for
amateur radio.

by the club secretary or the person responsible for publicity. Post cards for this purpose
are available from RSGB HQ. A database of all meetings is shared between
RadCom and GB2RS, so information only needs to be sent once.

The Digital Flagship
“YOUR
SIGNAL’S
59,
LOVELY AUDIO!”
Lets face it, you have to get used to hearing that every day when you own a Kenwood
TS-870S – its digital technology has transformed the world of amateur communications. This HF all-mode transceiver is equipped with powerful twin 24-bit DSP (digital
signal processors) at the IF stage – an innovation that leads to such benefits as highefficiency digital filtering, powerful noise/interference reduction, equalizers and DSP
detection. And the TS-870S is digital in other ways: it can be fully computer-controlled
using a high-speed link. There’s an antenna splitter, dual antenna connectors and an
automatic antenna tuner that works on transmit and receive. All of this, plus the full
range of high-performance features for which Kenwood rigs are renowned. By any measure, Kenwood’s TS-870S merits true distinction.
IF-stage digital signal processing & digital filtering SPAC noise reduction

bps) – standard Kenwood protocols AIP and IF auto notch Menu system 100

The full rules of RSGB HF, VHF/UHF and Microwave contests were published in the RSGB Contesting Guide in January 2002
RadCom. Brief rules for non-RSGB contests, which are listed in italics above, can often be found in the ‘HF’ and ‘VHF/UHF’
columns. The HF and VHF Contest Committees both have websites from which comprehensive details are available. These are
www.rsgbhfcc.org and www.blacksheep.org/vhfcc RSGB Microwave Contest rules can be found on the Internet at: http://

Newcomers’ News
News and Comment from and for Amateur Radio's Newcomers. Compiled by Steve Hartley, G0FUW
A
GOOD MIXED BAG of
news this month with lots
of photos. Please keep
your news rolling in, the contributions are always welcome.
YOUNGSTERS STEAL
THE SHOW
EVERY YEAR the Trowbridge
& District Amateur Radio Club
runs a construction challenge for
its members. This year the club
stalwarts were swept aside by
three newcomers who took the
top three prizes! The prize-winners are three of four very keen
young amateurs.
I am told that Freya Shirley,
M3FES, aged 13, is the tidy one.
Her other interests include playing the piano and horse riding.
Camilla Shirley, M3CGS, aged
11 is the talkative one and, like
her older sister, also enjoys horse
riding and the piano. Ethan
Shirley, M3BVK, is the ‘baby’ of
the gang at 8 years of age. Ethan
had only just turned 8 when he
did the Foundation exam and,
after causing all the others a lot of
stress, he walked away with a
score of 19 out of 20. Well done
Ethan! Last, but not least, comes
Peter Robertson, M3BPG, aged
11, who was the first of the group
to take the exam. Peter is a Star
Wars nut and enjoys playing computer games.
Camilla takes up the story: “On
our first visit to the local amateur
radio club we all entered into the
Constructor’s Cup. Peter won with
his amplifier project, Freya came
second with a short-wave receiver
and Ethan was placed third with
his crystal radio set. Now we are
all licensed amateur radio operators and are on the air. Currently
we are only on the 2m (144MHz)
band until we all get a more substantial radio station”.
If you would like to read more
about their achievements you can
access the full newsletter at
www.gb3wr.co.uk/foundation/ I
think all readers will join in the
congratulations to this very keen
band of newcomers.
MORE ON SMALL
LOOPS
DAVID BERRY, G4DDW, is no
newcomer to amateur radio or to
this column but he continues to
chip in ideas for those who are
just finding their way in the
hobby. His latest idea is for a
really small loop antenna. David
reports that during some experimentation he made a mistake but
ended up with an antenna that
works well on all bands from 7 to
21MHz.
He now regularly works
SM5AEA in Stockholm on
14MHz and has contacted many
UK stations on 7MHz using the
new antenna. Signal reports are
much the same as with his 60m
long wire and generally better

able from the Internet,

Murray (QTHR) in exchange for
a couple of floppy disks.
The changes are mainly
presentational, but the interactive features and the links to the
RAE Manual remain in place and
some 25 new questions have been
added. Keep up the good work

Loops’).
than his previous attempts at
magnetic loops. Quite remarkable for a loop only 40cm in
diameter!
The antenna comprises two
loops of 20SWG insulated copper wire in parallel and it is fed
via a ‘roller coaster’ inductor with
a high voltage 15pF variable capacitor between the other end of
the loop and ground. David is in
the RSGB Yearbook (QTHR)
should any readers be interested
in learning more.
RAE SOFTWARE
UPDATED
THE QRAE programme has been
around for a while now and my
RAE students always find it an
excellent aid for their studies.
Murray Ward, G3KZB, the author of the software tells us that
the latest version is now avail-
FIRST MI3 CALLS
FOR ATC
JOHN BRANAGH, GI3YRL,
sent in details of the first Foundation course to be held at the 1919
ATC Squadron in Newtownabbey. Five young ladies and
nine boys attended the course
run by the Carrick Amateur Radio Group and all 14 were successful.
Not only was this the first
course at 1919 Squadron but the
first at any ATC Squadron in
Northern Ireland. It seems that
the successes at Newtownabbey
have stirred up more interest with
requests for courses now coming

Improving Language Skills
Using Amateur Radio
T
HE PAGES of RadCom
regularly draw readers’
attention to both new and
different aspects of our multifaceted hobby. One aspect which
has not featured prominently for
some time, however, is the use of
amateur radio for developing foreign language skills. Recent
changes in the licensing rules
and the welcome influx of
younger M3 Foundation Licensees, many of whom are still pursuing academic studies, make this
a good time to reflect on how we
might give greater emphasis to
this important aspect of the hobby.
As someone who has been a
long-standing student of the
French language - for more years
than I care to remember - I have
to say that whenever conventional language students outside
amateur radio see the facilities
we have for live, on-air language
practice, the reaction is often one
of disbelief. The opportunity for
voice and text contact with foreign nationals who share similar
interests to our own is something
we frequently undervalue.
Like many other UK
Francophile operators, I use 80
and 40m and the lower portion of
the 20m SSB segment to make
contact with French radio amateurs. The contacts can be mutually advantageous in the sense
that the language used can easily
be switched according to need.
English is used if French amateurs wish to practice their hardlearned vocabulary, and French
is used if British operators wish
to test their language skills. In
practice, the operator with the
weaker vocabulary tends to defer quickly and lapse into his or
her own language, but this need
not always be so. Experience has
shown that the simple request to
be allowed to continue in the
other language will almost certainly be met with patience, cour* 20A Pear Tree Road, Ashford, Middlesex TW15

Amateur radio is an absolutely ideal medium for improving
your school French or German, or for brushing up on your
Spanish before your next holiday to the Costas or the Canaries.
Yet very few UK amateurs, at least, take advantage of the
wonderful opportunities provided by our hobby, relying instead
on the overseas amateurs’ ability to speak English. Norman
Shackley, G0OSX, says “Try something new in amateur radio!”
and provides a number of ideas based around using your foreign
language skills.
Saint-Jean - a watermill in the hamlet
of Polincove in the Pas de Calais, the
first mill activated on the day
described in the text.
tesy and a genuine willingness to
assist.
In fairness to overseas operators, however, this can only work
in the longer term if language
students do their homework before going on air. In this respect,
foreign language development in
amateur radio is really no different from the long-standing approach to good radio operating
practice in general. Putting the
microphone away and listening
to experienced foreign amateur
operators will frequently ensure
better progress than bulldozing
one’s way into a QSO, ill-prepared and inadequately equipped
linguistically for a meaningful
two-way exchange of information.
Perhaps a closer parallel to
good learning practice is the
building-block approach to learning the Morse code - which is
itself a language, after all. Many
of the good linguists in amateur
radio first started foreign language QSOs using the simple,
rubber-stamp exchanges. Typically, they then progressed to
more
detailed
contacts
by steadily
expanding
their QSO vocabulary using
those increasingly
common expressions ‘lifted’
from the valuable listening sessions mentioned above. If the
commitment is there, before too
long a facility is developed for
dealing with standard radio exchanges and the operator begins
to cope with increasing confidence when pushed to the limits
of a restricted vocabulary.
Speak to any radio amateur
who has scaled the language barrier at whatever level and in whatever language and all will agree
on one thing. The satisfaction
and pleasure they now gain from
the hobby makes all the months
and years of effort worthwhile.
At the present time several UK
operators are regularly active
working stations across the channel. Harry, G0CSS, from Nottingham can be heard most days,
as can Ray, G0RKQ, in
Scunthorpe. Ray has for many
years enjoyed regular QSOs with
Patrick, F5RXE, from Castillonla-Bataille in the Bordeaux region of south west France. On the
French side, Henri Lohier,
F5MDM, a retired air force officer and dedicated Anglophile
who has been studying English
for six years, actively seeks and
is always delighted to make contact with UK stations to supplement his conventional language
studies. If any reader would
like to register an interest in
developing language skills
through amateur radio I would
be happy to co-ordinate replies and put like-minded
members in touch with

WHERE TO LOOK
WHERE CAN YOU FIND foreign-speaking radio amateurs to
practise your language skills? The answer is, of course, all over
all of the HF bands. But certain nationalities tend to congregate
around specific frequencies so specific languages can often be
heard in particular parts of the bands, particularly on 20m.
Here are a few - if you have details of others, please send them
in to RadCom.
Français French 80m (all), 40m (all), 20m 14120 - 14130kHz
Deutsch German 80m (all), 40m (all), 20m (all)
Ελληνικα Greek
20m 14285kHz±
Svenska Swedish 20m 14300 - 14310kHz

FRENCH AWARDS
PROGRAMMES
FOR ANY English-speaking operator wishing to develop language skills and radio links with
French operators directly, the
awards programme organised by
REF-Union (the French equivalent of the RSGB) offers real opportunities for regular contacts.
Awards such as the regional departments award (DDFM - Le
Diplôme des Départements
Français de la Metropole); the
French castles award (DFCF - Le
Diplôme des Forts et Chateaux
de France) and the French windmill and watermill award (DMF Le Diplôme des Moulins de
France) all provide real operating challenges, combined with
the opportunity to improve language skills for those wishing to
do so.
In all of these award programmes, the level of French language required for a successful
contact can be as simple or as
complex as desired. They therefore make an ideal starter-pack
for the aspiring linguist.
TILTING AT
WINDMILLS
MY OWN INTEREST in the DMF
award was triggered by Les
Allwood, G3VQO, following a
40m contact in May 2002, when
he was operating as F/G3VQO/P
from a windmill in the Pas de
Calais region of northern France.
The ensuing QSL and e-mail correspondence spoke of the detailed preparations involved in
identifying and locating mills
suitable for activation by invading Brits from this side of the
channel. I expressed an interest
in learning more about the DMF
5DG&RP ♦ )HEUXDU\
and was quickly invited to join
the next trip planned for November 2002. And so it was that I
found myself one dark, Saturday
morning in Horsham, Sussex, at
0420, shaking hands with
G3VQO.
After brief introductions we
climbed into a 4 x 4 and set off for
Folkestone and the 0630 crosschannel tunnel departure for Calais. We quickly cleared Calais
port controls by 0830 French time,
and were rolling through the
French countryside just 15 minutes later.
The day’s activities called for
a number of skills, all of which
were amply demonstrated by
G3VQO: map reading, antenna
assembly and adjustment, language skills for operating as well
as for seeking route directions as
a last resort (some mills were so
remote that not even all local
residents were aware of their existence). Even natural history
knowledge was tested on occasions as we tried to identify the
wealth of wildlife observed during the course of the day.
Under the rules of the DMF
award programme, the portable
station can be located up to 500
metres from the mill. In practice,
we were able to set up the station
immediately adjacent to the mill
in most cases. Les was adept at
springing into action and converting the 4 x 4 into a working
station within minutes. The equipment used for the project was a
Yaesu FT-847, powered by a
110Ah 12V Leisure battery with
a variety of HF whip antennas
available for connection to a magmount on the roof of the vehicle.
Only five of the planned six
mills were activated due to time
constraints. In the course of the
day we operated mainly on 40m
SSB, providing award contacts
for predominantly French and
Belgian DMF enthusiasts, but
with a respectable smattering of
UK stations coming in strongly,
together with other European
callsigns. During the inevitable
quiet spells, Les quickly switched
to CW and gained a number of
rapid Morse contacts including
one of particular interest with
Sergei Rebrov, M0SDX, the
Tottenham Hotspur premier
league footballer. Sergei was enjoying a break from premiership
football by spending a day on the
rig to participate in the Ukraine
National CW Contest. The last
QSO was logged at 1610, after
which we closed down the station and headed back to Calais
for the 1730 tunnel departure.
We arrived back in Folkestone at
1615 UK time, a return which
enabled me to be back home in
Ashford, Middlesex, by 1830.
ONE THING LEADS
TO ANOTHER . . .
WOULD I CONSIDER doing it
again? I certainly would. The
benefits of overseas operating in
this unusual but very popular
award programme are many and
varied. I particularly enjoyed the
strengthening of links with
French operators on their home
soil in the true spirit of amateur
radio. Being able to operate in
the French countryside was most
enjoyable, as our surroundings
were always pleasant. Perhaps
most of all I enjoyed the getting
up and about and trying some-
Les Allwood, G3VQO, at the mill at
Inglinghem.
thing different in amateur radio
for a change, a step I had not
taken for many years.
The reward here was being
able to watch a skilled CW operator at close quarters. Les Allwood,
G3VQO, belongs to the French
UFT (L’Union Française des
Télégraphistes), membership of
which requires a set number of
successful French-language CW
contacts with, and nomination
by, other UFT operators.
Not unexpectedly, the experience has fired my ambition to
follow suit and since my return I
have been busy brushing up my
CW French-language vocabulary.
Would I want to change anything the next time I go over? I
would certainly want to reward
myself just a little more for all of
those many DMF award contacts
issued. I would also like to benefit from the location, once the
radios have been safely stowed
away, by tucking in to a large
meal with lots of good wine, ideally in the company of a few
French operators to do our bit for
L’Entente Cordiale, followed by
an overnight stay in a comfortable hotel!

FROM THE RSGB
Intermediate
Licence
Building on the Foundation
With the introduction of the new
Intermediate Licence Syllabus
the RSGB is pleased to present
our new companion book for
those working to pass the exam.
Intermediate Licence - Building
on the Foundation draws heavily on the decade of success enjoyed by the Novice Licence
scheme and in particular the
Novice Student’s Notebook by
John Case, GW4HWR. However,
this is more than a new edition
with it adopting the easy to read
and understand style of the
hugely popular Foundation Licence - Now, that many readers
will be familiar with. The book is
broken down into manageable half-hour worksheets and contains
practical exercises along with plenty of helpful advice and safety tips.

The 1944 Alco portable steam-generating
set designed to be packaged in a standard
parachute container. When packed, it
occupied a total space of 14in diameter by
18in high. It was suitable for charging 6V
vehicle batteries at 4A with wood fuel, and
was one of several designs developed for
use in Europe and in Malaya by both SIS and
SOE.

The Qualcomm QDEC-1000 digital cinema decoder
is about the same size as an A4 sheet of paper. It
may not look particularly impressive, but there
must be a lot going on in there because it draws up
to 10A at 5V! Picture resolution is adjustable up to
2560x1080 pixels.

Fig 5: Switching from SSB to CW in mid-QSO.
(a) The original situation, receiving your USB
signal. (b) Your CW carrier has to be shifted
up in order to be audible. (c) What happens if
you don’t shift - your carrier is at zero-beat
and will not be heard.
Please remember that I can answer questions through this column only, so they need to be on topics of general interest.
