RAOTC News
Broadcast for September 2026

Further to that mentioned on the WIA National News, this is another reminder about the RAOTC broadcast for Monday the 7th of September 2026 at 8 pm local time; thatâ€Ös tomorrow night for those listening on Sunday.

This month there is a history given by Peter Cossins VK3BFG, about the Melbourne ATV repeater VK3RTV.

The feature item is read by Clive Wallace, VK6CSW. It takes an in-depth look at coax connectors, including why is a PL259 plug known as a UHF connector and what does BNC stand for?

Listen at 8 pm Monday, local time, over the VK7RAA/VK7RHT state-wide network or at about 8:30pm as a telecast on VK7AX ‘Spectrum Tasmaniaâ€Ö via the BATC membersâ€Ö stream or in the Ulverstone area on 445.50MHz. DATV. Audio feed is available on VK7RDR, 439.775MHz, Dazzler Range.

The broadcast date again is Monday September 7th. Call backs will follow. Please call in if you are able; this provides the RAOTC broadcast committee with an idea of how many are listening to these broadcasts. 

If you miss the off-air broadcasts you can listen to audio files on the RAOTC website.

Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) News

Last week on the 31st August Richard VK7ZBX  managed to complete his 1st EME contact on 23cm. Richard worked Ralph VK3WRE, then worked Dave KG0D in Texas, Shinichi JS6UJS in Japan, Terry BA7NQ in China, then Don KE7NR in Arizona. Richard was pretty happy to finally complete after some initial issues with sequencing that saw 2 preamps go to the great preamp sanctuary in the sky. The station is quite moderate consisting of a Icom 9700 being GPS locked, a 2.4M mesh prime focus dish with a OK1DFC designed septum feed, LNA from Goran at Antennas Amplifiers, and a SSPA designed around the module from VHF designs in Russia. Tracking is controlled using a SDD3 slew drive from Sun slew and WinTrak from Gary N8CQ. Richard is looking forward to working many more stations on this band.

This weekend the 5th and 6th of September is the second leg of the ARRL EME contest on the bands 13cm and above. It runs for 48 hours from 0000 UTC on the 5th till 0059 on the 6th of September. All modes digital and CW. So, if you have equipment capable of receiving these bands this weekend would be a great time to aim at the moon and see what you can hear. Activity can be tracked on the HB9Q logger.

logger.hb9q.ch

This contest is timed for when the declination is optimised for the Northern hemisphere but there are many opportunities to hear activity. For those that have equipment that can receive on 10GHz the moon beacon on 10,368.024 MHz is currently operating on Q65 sub mode E with doppler correction to JO54cg which is a fantastic resource provided by Per and the team at DL0SHF in Germany. There are some stations that can generate some very strong signals on these bands so why not see what you can hear. 

See you on the moon.

WWFF, SOTA, POTA, LLOTA and IOTA Weekly Wrap Up

The Parks on the Air (POTA) developers have been busy behind the scenes, working on an improved POTA website. The new site is now in beta testing and is available for users to explore.

There are a number of upgrades, some of these include integration of modern software that significantly improves page load times and data downloads, a redesigned layout that adapts cleanly across mobile and tablet devices, and improved filtering options for spots. One of the standout improvements is the new map view, which colour-codes parks based on your activity. You can quickly see parks youâ€Öve activated, parks youâ€Öve hunted, parks where youâ€Öve done both, and those you havenâ€Öt yet activated. This looks set to be a fantastic feature for planning future activations, keeping track of your progress, and, of course, finding plenty of new parks to chase!

To check out the new beta site, head to the website on the email edition of this broadcast.

Next.pota.app

Importantly, you donâ€Öt need to create a new account. The beta site uses your existing POTA login and production data. If you spot something that could be improved, or simply have some feedback, you can send it directly to the developers using the Feedback button on the beta site.

Jim, VK7JZ, got the boots back on after a short break from activations and headed to Mount Direction Summit in southern Tasmania. For those who might not know, we also have a Mount Direction in the north of the state! Jim made 11 contacts on 40m using his Icom IC-705 and an EFHW antenna running east to west, strung between a squid pole and a tree. With gale-force conditions on the summit, Jim made sure to have a little slack in the antenna to prevent any mishaps. No one wants a broken antenna wire during an activation!

Ian, VK7IAN, logged an impressive 63 contacts while activating Bribie Island National Park, located around 65 kilometres north of Brisbane. The park covers nearly one-third of Queensland's only bridge-connected island, making for a pretty impressive activation location.

Travis, VK7VXT, got set up on Mount Wellington despite some rather windy conditions. Travis activated the summit with four contacts on 146.500 FM.

Danny, VK7DHT, activated Fords Pinnacle Regional Reserve, located not too far from Lonnavale. Danny logged 16 contacts during the activation, becoming the first operator to activate this reference.

Rodney, VK7HAM, and Peter, VK7ZPE, teamed up on a wet and windy afternoon to activate Bradys Lookout State Reserve, located on the West Tamar near Rosevears. The pair logged 48 contacts during the activation using an Icom IC-7300.

Statewide SSTV Nights

A quiet net night that saw the following participants, VK7s – AX, ZAB and OO, all sharing thirty photos. 

The main highlights were:

    Cats in interesting situations 

    The sixtieth anniversary of the Star Trek TV series

    The first episode aired on the 6th of September 1966 in Canada

    How to BBQ and serve Hot Dogs in the Netherlands  


Other highlights were:

    A certificate for being a Virtual Guest for the launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope   

    A Sputnik 3 guitar effects pedal made using Soviet-Era Germanium diodes and transistors

    And Dove Lake with Cradle Mountain 

Again Tony VK7AX interconnected VK7RJG to his SSTV International Gateway and VK7s exchanged photos with four amateurs in the Netherlands and two in Germany. 

Note - Ken VK7KRJâ€Ös and Steve VK7OOâ€Ös fully automatic 24/7 monitoring sites that allows anyone testing, to send a picture and the ability to check their transmission on these pages almost immediately, any time, both South and North Tasmania.

If you missed the net there are archives of these SSTV nights on Kenâ€Ös and Steveâ€Ös websites or on NTARCâ€Ös website under blogs.

Tassie Ham-E-Con 2026 
The Countdown is On!

With just over two months to go, Tassie Ham-E-Con 2026 is already shaping up as a genuinely national and international gathering of the amateur radio community. Registrations are open, and we already have attendees booked from every Australian state as well as New Zealand. This yearâ€Ös theme, “Hack the Ether: Education, Ingenuity, Connection,” celebrates what amateur radio does best: experimenting, learning, sharing ideas and finding ever more inventive ways of getting signals from one place to another.

The conference brings together amateurs, makers, educators, communicators and technical explorers for a fully catered weekend built around four streams: Hack the Mind, exploring education and learning; Hack the System, showcasing experimentation and ingenuity; Hack the Culture, looking at community, engagement and connection; and Hack the Future, examining leadership, purpose and where amateur radio heads next. Thereâ€Öll also be pre-conference and post-conference activities, making this much more than simply two days sitting in a theatre listening to presentations.

Tassie Ham-E-Con 2026 will be held on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November at the Sir Stanley Burbury Theatre on the University of Tasmaniaâ€Ös Sandy Bay campus in Hobart. With registrations already stretching across Australia and over the Tasman, and still two months to go, itâ€Ös looking like being quite a weekend. The preliminary program is available and bookings are open now through the conference website. Search for Tassie Ham-E-Con 2026 and come and Hack the Ether in Hobart this November.

Northern Tasmanian Amateur Radio Club Incorporated

www.ntarc.net

The first item is a quick update on NTARC providing safety communications and rider tracking at an Equine Endurance ride held at Santarena Park Scottsdale recently. Everything relied on 2 Metre voice communications, and good old paper. However electronic card reader tracking was deployed in tandem at one checkpoint, this allowed “real life” field testing of the latest software version. 

All the contingency had assembled by 6 am Saturday morning and were heading out to the checkpoints for the start of the 80 kilometre event at 6:30 am. Ride Base was staffed by VK7's AndreÌü ZAB, Stuart FEAT and Stuart ES.  Checkpoints were operated by Roger ARN, Idris ZIR and Stefan ZSB. With additional support from Jim JZ and Brian BW of REAST / WICEN, with Rob ARG and Pru from NWTARC, along with Pete from the Ulverstone Radio Operators Club. Thank you Roger for another round of excellently coordinated safety logistics.

The weather was indeed good to us and even the sun made a cameo appearance around mid-day. Operationally the day went smoothly without any horse or rider mishaps. Thank you to all who assisted in the running of the communications for what ended up being a truly multi group event.

Last club room technical night, Liam VK7WUF, showed us his brand new, all mode, HF transceiver, that supports eight HF bands. Manufacturer by Buluti, the model uSDX-Plus is certainly a compact QRP unit.

It is based on SDR architecture, incorporating direct digital modulation on transmit and capable of up to 5 Watt PEP SSB output and 3 Watt CW. An External CAT control connector is provided, making it ideal for digital modes like FT8, JS8, and FT4. Power is provided either via the 13.8 Volt DC external socket or the internal 11 Volt, 4 AH rechargeable battery. An independent battery charging connector is also provided. All of this functionality is contained within a very small foot print, the black anodised aluminium case measuring 110 mm by 85 mm by 40 mm.

Once Liam has a semi suitable antenna erected for proper testing, I am sure it will be put through its paces and a run-down of performance will be forth coming at a later tech night. 

Eric VK7ZPE brought along a neat little field strength meter for us to have a look at. Despite its compact size, roughly that of a cigarette packet, it covers an impressive range from 100 kHz right through to 1 GHz. Most of the front panel is taken up by a classic analogue meter movement, with a sensitivity control tucked neatly along the bottom edge. On top youâ€Öll find an SMA socket fitted with a 150 millimetre flexible whip antenna. All the manufacturer markings and control labels appear to be in Chinese, adding to the mystery of the unit. Itâ€Ös an interesting piece of gear, and its styling is very reminiscent of the CB days.

To stem any more questions, NTARC club rooms will be opening up to watch the REAST presentation, on Wednesday the 23rd September, by Mogens Anderson and covering ADSB aircraft tracking. It should answer any questions you might have regarding that short vertical antenna on the peak of the club room roof. Doors will be open by 7:00 pm and at 7:30 mobile phones will be put on silent and we will cross to the live presentation on the REAST YouTube channel. So rather than sit at home watching, feel free to come along and watch in a distraction and stress free environment.

And now for something completely different. In case you missed Slow Scan TV this week, and if this is Sunday when you are listening to the broadcast, then it is sixty years to the day that Canadian audiences saw the first TV series episode of Star Trek! 

However if this is the Tuesday night rebroadcast, then it is sixty years to the day since it was first broadcast in the United States! I just canâ€Öt believe that Canada was ahead of the United States! So according to Wikipedia, from September 1966 we have been boldly going where no man has gone before. Happy 60th birthday to Star Trek and the NCC-1701.

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

Wednesday Experimenterâ€Ös Group (WEGs) 

Last Wednesday night we had Justin VK7TW in the studio and gave us an illustrated run through of what was covered at the ACMA RadComm 2026 event.

We then got Ron VK7ME into the studio and Ron gave us a question about some calipers and posed the question about that is was. Ron is a recent entry into the microwave bands and has made a 19 element 23cm yagi that he mounted on his roof and had some difficulty aiming the antenna. So using one of Ronâ€Ös other hobbies namely FPV Radio Control he did a temporary mount of an FPV camera to make sure he was pointing at Mt Wellington. 

We had some good guesses from the chat and they are called  Bisecting Calipers!

Ron and Justin then moved onto some other 3D printed items including a now coloured derwent valley topographic map, we then moved to the print disasters and outlined what fixed it namely a new nozzle. 

https://www.youtube.com/c/MainCave/videos

Justin then went through finally printing a benchie (after 250 hours!!), a Pajero dual USB panel and some coaxial cable management brackets and an on air sign for the studio.

Ron then took the audience through his recent ASA print of the 160m loading coil that failed initially and then the reprint started to lift but stayed adhered to the build plate long enough to complete.

This week is the NTP/GPS clock build night and it will not be streamed.

There was a Tassie Ham-E-Con reminder, future training opportunities, future events and space weather.

Our next WEGS night will be in a fortnight the 16th September and Wednesday evenings kick off early, with members drifting in from about 6pm, many armed with takeaway containers or home-cooked dinners.

The DATV Studio broadcast begins at 7:30pm and around it unfolds the usual controlled chaos: lively debate, hands-on experimenting, gear tinkering, coffee consumption at industrial scale, the hatching of elaborate “cunning plans,” and the kind of wide-ranging amateur radio mischief and global problem-solving that somehow only ever truly makes sense inside the clubrooms.
