The 2018 inductees to the CQ CONTEST HALL OF FAME are: - Andy Blank, N2NT - Nominated by the Frankford Radio Club, Andy has been the director of the CQ World Wide 160-Meter DX Contest for the past decade. A world-class contester with wins stretching back to 1979, Andy has also competed in five Word Radiosport Team Championships (WRTC) competitions and was Director of Competition for WRTC-2014, held in Massachusetts. He is also a member of the advisory board of the World Wide Radio Operators' Foundation (WWROF). - Tom Wagner, N1MM - Nominated by both the Yankee Clipper Contest Club and the Northern California Contest Club, Tom is best known for his development of and ongoing upgrades to the N1MM Logger, which has become the world's most popular contest logging software. The program supports more than 240 different contests, multiple operating modes and integration with any number of transceivers and station accessories. Tom now leads a team of developers who are developing further enhancements and were recognized with the YASME Excellence Award in 2015. CQ Contesting Editor David Siddall, K3ZJ, presented Hall of Fame plaques at an induction ceremony held at the annual Dayton Contest Dinner on 19 May.

A longtime member of Hawaii's Department of Emergency Management RACES team, Kimo was recently featured on an NBC News story about last year's accidental nuclear attack alert message sent out in Hawaii, and emphasized the role played by amateurs as the first to alert the public that the message was sent in error. - Krassimir "Krassy" Petkov, K1LZ/LZ1SA - Nominated by the Araucaria DX Group of Brazil, the Bulgarian Federation of Radio Amateurs and the Yankee Clipper Contest Club, Krassy has made many behind-the-scenes contributions to DXing and contesting over the years. A veteran of two dozen DXpeditions, Krassy has also provided or arranged financial and/or material support to many others. He also co-founded the Young Ham Contest Program in 2003, taking hams under age 21 to operate in major contests from Caribbean superstations; and served on the board of the 2006 World Radiosport Team Championship (WRTC) competition in Brazil. He has also worked with fellow DXers during DXpeditions to promote amateur radio and provide equipment for hams in the countries in which the groups operated. CQ DX Editor Bob Schenck, N2OO, presented Hall of Fame plaques at an induction ceremony held at the annual Dayton DX Dinner on 18 May.

IOTA DIRECTORY 2018 ---> Edited by Roger Balister (G3KMA) and Steve Telenius -Lowe (PJ4DX), and published by Islands On The Air (IOTA) Ltd, the 2018 edition of the IOTA Directory (128 pages) is now available from the IOTA Shop on https://www.iota-world.org/iota-shop.html. It contains the complete listing of IOTA islands as well as everything you need to know to participate in IOTA. Included in the colour section are fascinating reports on several rare IOTA operations (Ashmore Reef, Bhola Island & and St Martin's Island, Pukapuka Atoll, Busuanga Island, Mokil Island). The rules have been restructured to make them easier to follow. The list of Most Wanted IOTAs has been recast to show the listing in three ways: based on contacts credited all-time, credited to those who updated in the last 10 years and to those who did so in the last 5 years. Regular features such as the Honour Roll and other performance listings, award winners and advice on making a first application are also included. This Directory will probably be the last paper edition to be printed. KOSOVO & ALBANIA ---> Martti, OH2BH (Z68BH) and Pertti, OG2M (Z68MM) are in Kosovo "to close several open ends with the Kosovo Amateur Radio Society (SHARK) and their Telecom administrators (ARKEP).

Then they will move to Albania with Z61DX and possibly others, and be active as ZA/OG2M "specifically on 6 metres". Ultimately, they will go to Friedrichshafen, where "at DARC's special invitation they will give a 'Mission Goodwill Kosovo' presentation on 1 June at 4 p.m. in the lecture room Schweiz". As for Z60A QSLs, "all direct requests, OQRS and postal have been mailed. There is no backlog as of today. The LoTW confirmations (54,419) have now reached 55% of the total number of QSOs". [TNX N7NG] NCDXF ---> The Northern California DX Foundation (http://www.ncdxf.org/) has announced the addition of two new Directors - Ross Forbes (K6GFJ) and George Wallner (AA7JV) - to fill vacancies created by retiring board members.

The primary purpose of NCDXF is to help fund well-organized DXpeditions to rare, difficult and expensive DXCC Entities. SOMALIA ---> Baldur, DJ6SI has left Hargeisa, Somalia earlier than expected. He started operating as 6O0X [425DXN 1411], but on 20 May his licence was changed to 6OX.

CQ AMATEUR RADIO HALL OF FAME ---> The CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame was established in January 2001 to recognize individuals - radio amateurs or not - who significantly affected the course of Amateur Radio, as well as radio amateurs who have made significant contributions either to amateur radio, to their professional careers or to some other aspect of life on our planet. This year's inductees are: - Marlon Brando, FO5GJ (SK), iconic movie actor - David Brown, KC5ZTC (SK), NASA astronaut killed in 2003 Columbia disaster - Kalpana Chawla, KD5ESI (SK), NASA astronaut killed in 2003 Columbia disaster - Laurel Clark, KC5ZSU (SK), NASA astronaut killed in 2003 Columbia disaster - Ashhar Farhan, VU2ESE, pioneer in popularizing open-source Bit-X "semi- Kits" using Arduinos for affordable QRP transceivers - Grady Fox, W4FRM (SK), SSB pioneer; worked on Manhattan Project during World War II and the camera for NASA's lunar landers - Wendell King, ex-2ADD (SK), African-American pioneer of broadcasting and college radio - Fred Lloyd, AA7BQ, founder of QRZ.com, the most widely-accessed amateur radio website - Mark Pecen, KC9X/VE3QAM, wireless communication and networking pioneer, inventor, cybersecurity expert - Carole Perry, WB2MGP, longtime advocate for youth in amateur radio; moderator of Dayton youth forum for more than 30 years - Ed Westcott, W4UVS, photographer who chronicled the Manhattan Project during World War II and later helped the FBI with its investigation of the Jonestown massacre This year's inductions bring the total number of embers of the CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame to 321. Two new members each are also being inducted into the CQ DX and CQ Contest Halls of Fame at the respective Dayton DX and Contest dinners. Their names will be announced separately. CQ WW DX CONTEST ---> Effective 14 May, John Dorr (K1AR) is the new Director of the CQ World Wide DX Contest. He succeeds Doug Zwiebel (KR2Q), who has been CQWW Director for the past two years and who has stepped down for personal reasons. K1AR has been a member of the CQWW Contest Committee since the mid-1970s, and served as CQ magazine's Contesting Editor from 1989 to 2011.

CQ WW DX CW CONTEST 2017 ---> "A change in scoring methodology for duplicate contacts in the CW weekend of the 2017 CQ World Wide DX Contest led to an inconsistency with the standards by which logs submitted for the SSB weekend of the same contest were scored", the CQWW Management announced on 10 May. It was therefore decided to restore the original scoring methodology and to rescore all CW logs for 2017. The updated scores have been posted online: http://www.cqww.com/scorescw.htm?yr=2017&mode=CW. "There was minimal impact to the final scores with no significant changes to the final standings and only 40% of the total pool of logs affected at all", K1AR (CQ WW DX Contest Director) says. DXPEDITIONS DELAYED ---> Both the 3D2CR DXpedition to Conway Reef [425DXN 1410] and the T31T DXpedition to Kanton Island, Central Kiribati [425DXN 1403] have been delayed. Dom, 3Z9DX and the Rebel DX Group were expected to start from Conway around 21 May.

LISTINFO-LPC 1808: Radio days

May 8, 2018

Bonjour Une info d’Alain F5RUJ . Merci de ces infos. L’article est en dessous. 73 de Raymond F-15873. Bonjour à tous Je vous signale cet article paru dans un journal local et qui concerne l'histoire de la station de Radio-Limoges une des plus puissantes stations en ondes moyennes pendant et après la guerre. Dès la libération du territoire, grâce à des techniciens qui avaient dissimulé les tubes d'émission en bon état, la puissance a pu atteindre 100 kW. Une association "Ondes libres" tente de valoriser le patrimoine bâti dont personne ne sait vraiment que faire. Avec le radio-club F6KTW nous travaillons avec eux pour participer à un évènement en fin d'année. Je ne sais pas encore tout ce que l'association va proposer mais nous nous sommes entendus pour présenter nos copies de postes espions et effectuer des transmissions avec eux. Très cordialement Alain CAUPENE (F5RUJ) http://www.info-mag-annonce.com/journal/haute-vienne/haute-vienne/hv-actual… Radio days Posté par Edition INFO le 16 avril 2018 dans ACTUALITES L’émetteur de Nieul a été mis en service en 1939. Les membres de l’association « Ondes libres » envisagent de créer un musée dédié à l’histoire de la radiodiffusion dans l’ancien émetteur de Nieul, désaffecté depuis près de vingt ans. Abandonné depuis des années, l’émetteur de Nieul reprendra-t-il vie un jour ? Tel est l’objectif de l’association « Ondes libres », créée en janvier 2017 par des membres de l’association « Mémoire de Nieul et alentours ». Au cours d’une réunions, l’une des fondatrices Solange Vincent Redon avait évoqué les trois projets envisagés par la Communauté de communes Aurence Vienne Glane, propriétaire de cet imposant bâtiment Art Déco depuis dix-neuf ans. « Ces projets ont tous capoté, celui de 2003 prévoyait un lieu dédié aux spectacles avec les métiers associés et l’accueil de troupes de théâtre raconte Gérard Patrois, le président d’Ondes libres, qui avait d’ailleurs suscité un certain engouement, puis celui d’un centre culturel en 2008 qui aurait englouti des sommes faramineuses enfin le dernier en 2012 lié à la culture avec un bâtiment new look qui aurait masqué le style Art Déco. Tous étaient très coûteux pour une structure comme la Communauté de communes ». Gérard Patrois se donne quatre à dix ans pour redonner au site. Fondation Dans ce dernier projet, l’architecte avait estimé la réhabilitation à 2.000 € le m² pour un bâtiment de 4.000 à 5.000 m², aujourd’hui très dégradé, livré aux visiteurs indésirables malgré une surveillance vidéo et des mesures de sécurité évaluées entre 20.000 € et 30.000 € par an. Gérard Patrois se base, pour l’heure, sur cette seule estimation afin d’estimer « à la louche » le coût de la réhabilitation de ce lieu chargé d’histoire, soit autour de 10 millions d’euros. Son projet est lui aussi très ambitieux, il ambitionne d’ouvrir un musée de l’histoire de la radiodiffusion grâce à aux pièces collectées par l’association ACHDR stockées à Saint-Aoustrille dans l’Indre. Un espace sera consacré à l’histoire de l’émetteur durant la seconde guerre avec un partenariat à définir avec le Centre de la Mémoire d’Oradour, de même qu’un espace ludique pour faire découvrir la diffusion des ondes aux jeunes et un espace pour développer leur créativité dans ce domaine, à l’image du Palais de la Découverte. Enfin, une pépinière d’entreprises dans le domaine de la télématique pourrait accueillir des porteurs de projets. « Pour lancer le projet, le premier objectif est de constituer une fondation abritée dès cette année, à savoir sans capacité juridique, dont la Communauté de communes serait membre poursuit-il, elle ferait donation du bâtiment et du terrain de 9.000 m² à l’association. Elle serait adossée à la Fondation de France et aurait une certaine crédibilité pour attirer des entreprises et des particuliers payant l’ISF qui pourraient participer au financement. Il faut faire appel à des fonds privés pour avoir une chance de faire aboutir ce projet. Je sais que des grandes entreprises disposent de sommes importantes pour cela ». Le coût global reste à chiffrer et Gérard Patrois estime qu’il faudra quatre à dix ans pour le mener à son terme. La question sera abordée, le 26 avril, en Conseil communautaire. La bobine de Ruhmkorff conçue vers 1850. Résistants Construit en 1937 et mis en service deux ans après, cet émetteur faisait partie du Plan Férié, un général chargé d’assurer la couverture radiophonique du pays. « Comme ce fut l’un des derniers construits, il était plus moderne et développait une puissance 200 Kw, mais son fonctionnement nécessitait un bâtiment de cette superficie ajoute-t-il, il a fonctionné dès 1939, rediffusant sur le sud-ouest les émissions de la Tour Eiffel puis les messages de propagande sous le régime de Vichy ». A partir de 1942, l’émetteur de Nieul est occupé par environ vingt-cinq Allemands sous le commandement du Lieutenant Engelhardt, un civil expert dans un domaine et mobilisé comme gradé. Ils surveillaient les dix-neuf techniciens français en poste sous la direction du chef de centre Marcel Villatte (futur beau-père de Gérard Patrois) et du contrôleur des travaux Georges Sonntag, un alsacien parlant allemand. Les deux hommes ont participé à des faits de résistance, profitant de leur position privilégiée pour intercepter des messages et informer le maquis après avoir détourné la ligne radio. « Après le massacre d’Oradour, les F.F.I. ont mené une opération en gare de Couzeix, le 10 juillet 1944, pour capturer deux civils français de la Gestapo explique-t-il, ceux-ci ont été tués ainsi que six soldats dont le lieutenant Engelhardt et le dénommé Marx qui fournissait des renseignements précieux à Georges Sonntag ». Courant août un combat aérien s’est déroulé au-dessus de l’émetteur touché par des impacts de balles. « Marcel Villatte et Georges Sonntag en ont profité pour substituer des tubes à incandescence en parfait état de marche par des tubes usagés et ils les ont camouflés sur place. L’émetteur ne pouvait plus émettre. Les résistants et quelques techniciens avaient abattu des arbres pour bloquer les routes menant à l’émetteur. Avant la libération de Limoges, les Allemands avaient entreposé à la caserne Beaublanc des organes cruciaux de l’émetteur, dont les tubes hors d’usage. Le jour de la libération, les techniciens aidés par des F.F.I. ont récupéré le matériel à leurs risques et périls. Vingt-quatre heures après, les émissions la B.B.C étaient rediffusées par l’émetteur d’une puissance de 20 KW et douze heures plus tard, il développait une puissance 100 KW et reprenait ses émissions au profit de la résistance régionale ». Un pan de notre histoire à découvrir… L’un des premiers émetteurs récepteurs datant de 1910. Corinne Mérigaud Photos © C. Mérigaud et P. Morand pour Ondes libres
