SIX METERS & UP -
Meteor Scatter - October 2009:
Major shower of this month is Orionids. This shower has produced strong
rates in 2006, 2007 and 2008, with lots of bright meteors. A 12-year
periodicity in Orionids stronger returns, extrapolated from old
observations, suggests that good Orionids rates are expected even in
2009. Have a look at shower predictions for October 2009 at our
MS-Propagation page: www.mmmonvhf.de/ms.php [MMMonVHF]

IARU national radio society to celebrate its centenary:
The Wireless Institute of Australia turns 100 next year making it the
world's oldest National Radio Society.
WIA President Michael Owen VK3KI says he wants the world-wide amateur
radio community tojoin in the celebration.
In the October edition of the WIA's Amateur Radio magazine he announces
a program that includes a special callsign VK100WIA that will be
operated next May by the WIA, and then many affiliated clubs around
Australia for the next 5 months.
A commemorative QSL card will be issued for contacts with VK100WIA
between May and October next year.
A limited edition operating award, called the WIA Centenary Award is
also to be available and two contacts with VK100WIA are required under
its rules.
A program of events will occur around the WIA's annual meeting in the
nation's capital Canberra in May 2010, while radio clubs are planning
events to promote the centenary of organised amateur radio in Australia.
It all began in 1910 with a meeting of wireless pioneers in Sydney to
protect their interests and rights against what they considered to be
harsh treatment by authorities and a high licence fee. The Wireless
Institute of Australia has continued since then to protect and enhance
the privileges of radio amateurs and to promote amateur radio.
Details of the centenary program can be found on the WIA website
www.wia.org.au

NAQCC Anniversary Special Event Stations (12-18 October, 2009):
We are doing something different for our Fifth Anniversary. First we are
condensing our operating period from a full month to 7 days which we
hope will increase the intensity of and interest in our operation.
Secondly instead of the cumbersome N3A/1, N3A/2.... special event calls,
we are streamlining the calls to N1A, N2A.... with a different SE call
for each USA call area.
Unfortunately there is one exception to that idea caused by a mix-up
between the services that assign special event calls. They assigned N5A
to another group for October 17 and 18, and since that assignment was
made prior to ours without nofifying us, we must relinquish use of N5A
for the 17th and 18th. Club president Tom WY3H says instead of N5A, we
can use N3A/5 those two days.
We are also awarding a handsome prize in conjunction with our
anniversary celebration. Check the Giveaways page in this section of the
web site for details on that.
We have the following ops signed up and confirmed for our celebration:
N1A - KQ1P, W1OH, K1YAN
N2A - KA2KGP, N2COD
N3A - K3WWP, WY3H, AF3Z, W0EJ, WA3HIC, KC2EGL
N4A - WA3ZBJ, KF4WK, KJ4EXC(?)
N5A - KD5KJ, W5YDM
N6A - W6AZ
N7A - WY7N, KH6OZ
N8A - N8ZYA
N9A - N9AKF, NV9X, WA9KPZ
N0A - KD0V, WG0AT
NOTE - Rich KG1W signed up but a job situation forced him to withdraw.
We thank him anyway and still consider him a part of the team, although
inactive for the operation. Also KH6OZ may not be able to operate due to
a late change of plans.
There is still time for you to sign on to the team. Anyone can do it,
from the raw beginning CW op to the seasoned veteran. There are no
special skills involved.
We have posted a calendar (www.arm-tek.net/~yoel/main_n3a_calendar.html)
listing times when our ops will be activating their SE calls for you to
have a shot at working them.

73 and Good DX!
