Press Release: New Zealand Ministry of Economic Development

Radio Spectrum Management recently prosecuted Amateur Radio Operator Alan Potter, ZL3II, for transmitting outside the terms and conditions of the General User Radio License for Amateur Radio Operators.

The radio spectrum is an important resource for New Zealand and a key part of Radio Spectrum Management’s work is to ensure responsible use of the radio spectrum in a way that doesn’t cause interference to other users.


All amateur radio operators are required to gain a qualification that covers the risks and harmful effects of interference from their transmitting equipment. This includes the risks associated with transmitting at high power levels.
“As a qualified amateur operator, Mr Potter is well aware of the risks but has chosen to ignore them”, says Chris Brennan, Compliance Manager for Radio Spectrum Management.

“This behaviour is unacceptable. Radio Spectrum Management are serious about protecting the radio spectrum for all users; we are continually monitoring and enforcing radio spectrum compliance, which includes prosecution when necessary”.

Radio Spectrum Management was alerted to a video Mr Potter posted on ‘You Tube’, a well known online video sharing site, which showed his transmitter operating at 3100 Watts. Operating at such high transmitting power is likely to cause interference to, and disruption of, a range of other licensed radio services in the local area.

Radio Spectrum Management’s role is to protect the public good by ensuring equipment capable of transmitting radio waves complies with the terms, conditions and restrictions of radio licences and International standards applicable in New Zealand.

Conviction and charge

Mr Potter was charged in the Christchurch District Court on 14 April. He was found guilty of breaching section 113 of the Radiocommunications Act 1989. He was fined $1,750 and $130 for costs, plus he has been required to forfeit his radio equipment.

For the purposes of section 113, any person who erects, constructs, establishes, maintains, or is in possession of any radio transmitter is presumed to have used the radio transmitter. In this case, Mr Potter was found in possession of radio transmitting equipment that was capable of operating at a significantly higher power than the Amateur Radio Operators General Licence allows.]]>Member Scores in CQ WPX k2qo@mac.comContests2010-05-22T23:18:56-04:00http://www.wnydxa.org/files/98355f996a3e88804321c91fafef5a02-62.html#unique-entry-id-62http://www.wnydxa.org/files/98355f996a3e88804321c91fafef5a02-62.html#unique-entry-id-62

The presenter is our esteemed 100 watt DX'er Peter, K2RSK.

Peter will present a DVD program on the exploits of the famous Kon-Tiki which was a raft that drifted from the shores of South America across the Pacific Ocean and smashing onto a reef in the Tuamotu Islands on August 7, 1947 as proof that the ocean currents could propel a raft across the Pacific.

You may ask what does this have to do with ham radio? It was ham radio that provided the communications while they were sailing across the Pacific. No transistor solar powered rigs in the raft! Wait till you see what they used for their transmitter and receiver.

The expedition was headed up by Thor Heyerdahl who wrote a book on the expedition along with four others.

See this months QST, March, page 73 for a brief synopsis and indicating that the last survivor of the raft exploit has died.

The results of the June VHF QSO Party (link) were posted earlier today and club members K2QO and W2TAU have again cracked the top 10 in Rover competition with a 10th place finish (1st place Atlantic Division) against some seriously stiff competition! If you've been paying attention lately you'll have noticed that many club members have been lighting up the scoreboards in a slew of contests.

Attaining the top levels of radiosport competition for so many members is a testement to the skills and knowledge within WNYDXA.

Another local rover, Steve, KC2QZF, had a nice 9th place finish in the Limitied Rover Category which was good for 1st Place Atlantic.

Yesterday the ARRL posted the results of Field Day 2009. Those results reveal that the Buffalo Lighthose Crew, operating 2A-Battery QRP from the Coast Guard base in Buffalo, had the best score of all QRP groups regardless of size, and scored #8 overall! The Crew has been working hard for many years chasing down the elite QRP groups in this event in an effort to attain first place. Those years of dedication, experimentation, hard work, and sweat have yielded results.

The Crew members are: K2ZR, N2CU, W2TB, WB2ABD, WB2AIV, K2RSK, and K2QO.

1st Place Single Operator QRP Phone Certificate for the ARRL SS Phone, WNY Section

Next up is a biggie. If you have ever been lucky enough to be a guest operator at W2FU (Jeff Ach's superstation), you know the dedication and drive required to be at the top of the world Multi operator standings. Just the routine maintenance alone is a full time job with 3 huge towers, an operating position for each band and miles of gigantic coax to feed the beast. And without further ado, W2FU has won:

1st Place CQWW CW M/S

WNYDXA members who helped pilot the effort are in bold: K0SM, N2PP, N2ZN, N2CU, WB2ABD, K2DB. Great job guys!!]]>DXCC Desk Announcement!k2qo@mac.comDXpeditions2009-08-13T14:43:04-04:00http://www.wnydxa.org/files/74643a5f8702ecaf46a73ec305f27701-34.html#unique-entry-id-34http://www.wnydxa.org/files/74643a5f8702ecaf46a73ec305f27701-34.html#unique-entry-id-341109
On August 12, ARRL DXCC Manager Bill Moore, NC1L, announced that after more than eight years, the 7O1YGF operation in 2000 from Yemen has been approved for DXCC credit. Moore cited a review of "recently received information," as well as "additional dialogue" with the leader of the 7O1YGF DXpediton, as reasons for the approval.

To join in, send me a photo and a paragraph or two. In the case of K2QQ, all I got was a photo. That is OK too. I’ll get them posted when I can.

On 7/22, select WNYDXA members took KB2ADB and his antenna raising project by storm, Art Storm that is. DeWitt Street on Buffalo's west side will never be the same.

At 10am Bill, WB2AIV, John, WB2EPH, Dave, N2RHL, George, W2YJ, Jim, W2IMY and Dick, K2ZR had gotten a strong start to getting KB2ADB's new multi-band vertical up and on the air. Elements were attached, nuts were tightened, antenna tests were made and in the end, success was found.
By 2pm, Art had a new antenna, new 12 volt wiring from his power supply to TS570D and a newly soldered key jack plug. The best of all was the big smile on his face.

Art in all of his generosity donated a tidy sum to WNYDXA's treasury in appreciation for WNYDXA's help.

All is well cuz DX don't sleep,
Dick, K2ZR]]>IOTA Contestk2qo@mac.comContestsAnnouncements2009-07-22T08:44:46-04:00http://www.wnydxa.org/files/a60799e8f021dd19028b9858910f1320-31.html#unique-entry-id-31http://www.wnydxa.org/files/a60799e8f021dd19028b9858910f1320-31.html#unique-entry-id-31Pasted GraphicThis weekend marks the annual running of the RSGB Islands on the Air contest. For full details, click the image. Band conditions always seem to “improve” for major contests. There has been some nice E-Skip on 10M lately so this may be a good weekend to bag some new ones on a band that has been fairly dead for the past few years. Good luck!
