Amateur Radio Week
London, UK (PRWEB) September 1, 2005
A man from London, UK is currently training for an attempt next year at flying a hang glider across the UK from land’s End to John O’Groats.
Shola Ogunlokun a 41 year old married father of 3 who had never flown a hang glider before taking up this challenge said “I aim to fulfil a dream of flying, use the challenge as an opportunity to meet the people of Britain and encourage people of similar ethnic backgrounds as me to pursue their dreams”.
Shola is on stage 2 of a 3 stage training programme, and has flown a glider off a 2000ft mountain on completion of stage 1 of his training. He is currently looking for sponsors and in talks with a TV production about making a documentary of his attempt.
The flight attempt is currently planned for around Autumn next year, should take between 5-7 days, and Shola would like to spend the night of each flight at the home of a local in the town he lands. If successful, Shola will be the first person to have flown a hang glider across the UK over this distance.

This is a sample of the HF Interference that I am experiencing at home.
The data noise above 16MHz is caused by a neighbour’s BT Vision Powerline Adapter (Ethernet over Power Line), When this is removed, the data noise above 16MHz becomes silent.
The noise below 16MHz remains at all times, even when the Powerline Adapter is removed and the data noise is silent.
Please help me diagnose where this could be coming from! I have turned my entire house power off at the breaker and have run the radio from a 12v battery and the noise is the same. I have also tried a different radio with the same results.

SACRAMENTO, CA (PRWEB) September 8, 2005
The California ISP Association (CISPA), the largest state association of Internet service providers, today announced it will assist municipalities in California that wish to design and deploy wireless Internet service throughout their city.
CISPA, which has more than 100 members that are Internet service providers, is offering technical support, wireless network design support, procurement support, and relationships with local ISPs to help cities develop alternative and affordable broadband Internet service for their residents. CISPA said the need for other forms of communications and Internet service is especially important given the pending mergers of SBC and AT&T and Verizon and MCI, as well as the recent aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
“Hurricane Katrina has made it apparent that traditional phone services are unable to survive or recover quickly from a natural disaster,” Said Mark Esser, vice president of Wireless Broadband for the California ISP Association. “During the first few hours after the hurricane, only amateur radio and one wireless ISP were able to supply emergency communications to New Orleans. Local and state governments understand more than ever before that they should not rely on a single communications company for primary telecommunications and Internet service.”
Hundreds of cities, large and small, are developing plans to wire their towns to provide ubiquitous and affordable high-speed Internet service. In response, legislatures in at least 20 states have proposed or passed legislation trying to block cities from creating wireless networks that compete against the former Bell phone companies and national cable companies. Most of the cable and phone companies have come out in support of state legislation restricting cities from creating affordable wireless Internet service.
Cities interested in further information about CISPAÂs wireless assistance program can contact CISPA at ED@cispa.org or visit the CISPA wireless information system at http://cispa.thesupernet.com

I use something similar with the Joplin Amateur Radio Club Antenna Launcher which works GREAT! Still, I am interested in how they use a sprinkler head control as a trigger….

(PRWEB) October 24, 2005
Describe Online star (http://www.describe-online.com) Terry Robinson is once again seeking sponsorship for his entry in this year’s CQ WW CW (Morse Code) amateur radio contest. This event takes place for 48 hours during the weekend of 26 – 27 November.
The object is to establish two-way contact with as many stations throughout the world as possible on six frequency bands. Terry will be taking part from his home in Glasgow, Scotland where he made 1870 contacts in the same event last year. All money raised will go to the British Computer Association of the Blind “Eye T 4 All” project.
This year, with deteriorating conditions, but hopefully with an improved station, Terry will be seeking sponsorship per contact. To add a bit of fun, sponsors are invited to guess Terry’s final score – the closest guess will win a copy of our new “Missing Persians File”, otherwise known as “Guide Cats II” CD.
Find out more about The Missing Persians File CD at
http://www.bcab.org.uk/cd/guide-cats-2-sleeve-info.htm
About the Event
The scoring for this event is quite complex, the number of contacts made is only loosely related to the final score. Contacts within Europe score 1 point, whilst those to other continents score 3. Apart from being divided into countries, the world is divided into 40 zones and it’s possible to contact each country and zone on each of the six bands. The final score is the number of points accrued through contacts, multiplied by the number of countries and zones contacted on all bands. Last year, Terry scored just over 700,000 points for his 1870 contacts.
Please complete the form below and send it to:

Eye T 4 All – A major Project of the British Computer Association of the Blind (BCAB)
Blind and partially sighted people are being left behind when it comes to information technology. Computers and internet connections can be more beneficial to them than for sighted people.
Many blind and partially sighted people experience social isolation. This results from difficulties in getting out of their homes,
finding their way around, and getting information including communicating with other people. Take, for example sending a letter. This presents huge challenges for blind people. Difficulties include: Writing the letter, correcting it, getting an address on to an envelope, putting on a stamp (the correct way up!), finding a post-box and getting to it. When a reply comes, some one must be found to read it.
Blind people just love email. It can be read out immediately through speech synthesis, and replying is just the press of a key. The vast amount of information on the world wide web can replace a personal library of unreadable print books. Information technology has so much to offer blind people. The “EyeT4All” programme is being developed to show blind people what is possible, to enthuse them, and point them in the right direction with affordable solutions and training. The work so far has included seeking and evaluating suitable solutions. This has involved evaluations according to a template
indicating usability and affordability. The programme will not give a theoretical technical approach, but a practical solutions based presentation. A small pilot based on a limited product range, has been run. A one day presentation has been defined and developed.
The programme will be rolled out across various UK locations in the Autumn. Links have been established with local voluntary societies for the blind who are keen to host the days.
All this cannot possibly happen without money. Over £20,000 has already been raised but we need to carry on raising funds to enable this project to benefit as many of the 2 million vision impaired people in the UK alone we can reach.
