Although power transmission services in parts of General Santos City and Sarangani Province are being restored, many substations are off grid

due to the outage of Gensan-Lledo 69kV Line caused by continuous aftershocks.

Widespread damages in buildings and other structures were reported in General Santos City following the Magnitude 7.8 destructive earthquake which hit Maasim, Sarangani at 7:37 AM Monday June 08, 2026.


The Volunteer Radio Association, Thailand, was one IARU region 3 society
which sent special encouragement to Filipino amateur radio operators who may
be supporting communication, coordination, and community resilience during
this emergency and said "In times of disaster, radio amateurs around the
world share the same spirit: service, preparedness, and solidarity. Thailand stands with the Philippines. Stay safe. Stay strong.


7.095 MHz is the emergency frequency in use by HERO. HERO is the Philippine
Ham Emergency Radio Operations body.

Nippon Celebrates 100 Years of Amateur Radio

The Japan Amateur Radio League centenary program officially began on the 1st
of June and will continue through until September 2027, recognising

both the founding of JARL in 1926 and one hundred years since Japan's first amateur radio station, J X A X, took to the air.


JARL has adopted the theme "Because normal is just boring", highlighting the spirit of innovation, experimentation and curiosity that has characterised amateur radio for the past century. Throughout the celebrations there will be commemorative stations operating across Japan, special awards and contests, centenary publications, anniversary ceremonies and special Ham Fair events, providing plenty of opportunities for amateurs around the world to join in
the festivities.

An unlicensed radio operator who has been convicted of jamming a local
repeater several times has just been issued yet another FCC warning, as we
hear from Newslines Kent Peterson KCDGY.


Acting on several interference complaints from amateur radio operators in California, the US Federal Communications Commission has issued a warning to
a radio operator who has a long history of unlicensed, disruptive and illegal transmissions on a local repeater.


The FCC sent a notice of unlicensed operation in late May to Jack Gerritsen
of Bell, California, saying that in March, agents with direction-finding equipment had verified reports of his 2-meter transmissions on a local repeater. The FCC said that agents heard him make statements over the air, using the phrase "Jack is back," identifying himself.


Over the past two decades, Gerritsen's encounters with the legal system and
FCC have landed in him court -- and prison. He received a one-year sentence
in 2000 following his conviction in state court of interfering with the highway patrol's radio system. Upon his release, he took and passed his Technician level exam, receiving the amateur radio callsign, KG6IRO. The FCC revoked the license grant days later, in November 2001, after realizing Gerritsen had been convicted of public safety interference and that the
license was granted mistakenly. According to various reports, he remained an on-air presence despite that. FCC records show he was later sent a forfeiture order of $21,000 for interfering with Coast Guard Auxiliary Communications
with a sailing vessel in distress.


The latest notice from the FCC, dated the 28th of May, gives him 10 days to respond and orders him to immediately halt all transmissions.


This is Kent Peterson KCDGY.

This unlicensed Amateur was previously convicted in 2006 for malicious interference with radio and unlicensed transmissions. He was fined and sentenced to seven years in prison.

His age then?
SEVENTY.

SafecomLink has published a new case study documenting live AI-based weather routing over HF radio north of the Arctic Circle.


Harley Soltes (LA/KN7H) used SafecomLink with a Pactor 4 link to access the Safie AI assistant from his vessel off the Norwegian coast establishing a connection to a land station in Austria (OE3FQU) on 14.120 MHz, then reaching the open internet, with no cellular coverage, no satellite service, and no shore-side infrastructure.


The real-time two-way AI conversation provided wind forecasts and a
day-by-day crossing comparison for the passage to Lofoten, Norway. After completing the passage, Soltes reported the AI forecast was more accurate
than his usual weather apps and far faster than the WinLink email method he previously used.


This is pretty game-changing to have fast Pactor 4 communication from sea to
a real-time internet AI connection, said Harley LA/KN7H


Long before smartphones, social media and even the internet itself, there
were amateur radio operators chatting across continents, bouncing signals off the atmosphere and building communities one transmission at a time.


That spirit was alive and well Saturday morning last in Alberta Canada.
The Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization, where a ribbon-cutting ceremony marked a new three-year partnership between the LSCO and 94.1 CJOC while amateur radio enthusiasts browsed tables of equipment at a bustling flea
market downstairs.


The partnership officially launches the newly branded CJOC Amateur Radio Club and Radio Room, a collaboration designed to celebrate CJOCs 100th anniversary while helping preserve and grow one of radios oldest traditions.


Shelves display equipment spanning nearly a century of amateur radio history. Some pieces date back to the early 1930s, when operators often had to build their own equipment because commercial products simply didnt exist. Other displays showcase Heath kit radios assembled from mail-order kits, vacuum tubes, test equipment and early commercial transceivers.


The partnership with CJOC Radio aims to build on that foundation and exhibit.

As part of the agreement, the radio station will help promote the club
through on-air and digital outreach while supporting educational initiatives designed to introduce more people to broadcasting, communications and amateur radio.


CJOC afternoon host and music director Mike Doherty said the partnership felt like a natural fit during the stations centennial year.


Its important to keep a respect for terrestrial radio, he said. People are always going to need access to information. Radio is a public service.


For many visitors, the event offered a reminder that despite living in a
world of smartphones and instant messaging, amateur radio remains both surprisingly relevant and deeply social.


The U.S. Space Force has awarded SpaceX a $4.16 billion contract to
build a constellation of satellites designed to track airborne targets from orbit.


The program is intended to detect and track airborne targets including aircraft, cruise missiles and potentially hypersonic weapons.


In the same week, the U.S. Space Force awarded SpaceX a $2.29 billion
contract to build a network of low Earth orbit satellites intended to
function as a military internet in space.


Both deals were among the largest contracts issued this year by Space Systems Command, the Space Forces acquisition arm.

NET ADVICE

FELIX/ANCHOR: One of the best things to emerge out of the pandemic was proof that the ham radio community had resiliency as a social network. The pandemic has ended but one social network born during those years of isolation has remained strong. Its called the Eyeball QSO Party, as Kevin Trotman N5PRE
from NewsLine tells us.


KEVIN: Its not a net. Its not a rag chew. Its not even on the air. The
Eyeball QSO Party is a welcoming room on Zoom where hams from different countries simply show up. Once a week, they share their opinions, their experiences and even images on their computer screens. It could be a view of their treasured vintage rigs, their radio-controlled planes, astronomy gear
or websites about the events in the news.


The QSO Party's host, Hugh Owen, KA3TTW, said he created the room during the pandemic to help ease isolation brought on by cancellation of club meetings, hamfests and even social morning coffees. The concept is simple, he said: People show up. Some are as local as the Washington, D.C. area where Hugh lives. Sometimes they're dropping by from Canada, Luxembourg, Great Britain
or even Argentina.


Although getting on the air is why so many hams got their licenses to begin with, this off-air QSO Party still fills a need. Hugh told Newsline [quote] This does have the big advantage of people being face-to-face and people can share things on their screens. [Endquote] So every Monday, it happens
starting at 1700 UTC between March 9th and November 2nd; and at 1600 UTC the rest of the year. :


Best of all, propagation is never an issue. Everyone gets a Five-Nine.

2026 VKFF National Get Together - Friday 30th October - Sunday 1st November 2026 Albury, New South Wales


Are you an experienced park activator or hunter in the international park activation program World Wide Flora Fauna (WWFF)? Or is this a facet of the hobby that you have always been keen to get involved in?


Either way, put the following dates in your diary. Commencing on Friday 30th October and concluding on Sunday 1st November 2026, the VKFF Team are hosting the 4th annual VKFF National Get Together. This year, the Get Together is being held in Albury, New South Wales.


The event commences with a Friday evening dinner at Sodens Hotel. On
Saturday, a day of presentations and displays will be held at the Commercial Club, Albury.


Displays include Icom Australia, Comtek Radio & Amateur Radio Victoria.
Several speakers will deliver presentations during the course of the day on various topics about WWFF & portable operation. This year, we are fortunate to hear from Dave G4AKC on pedestrian and bicycle mobile, and Sands VK9WX on operating from Willis Island VKFF-0574.


A raffle will be held on Saturday with some excellent prizes.

On Saturday evening, a dinner function will be held which includes a quiz, presentations, and a guest speaker, Chris VK3QB, the Team Leader for the VJ2L Lord Howe Island DXpedition.


On Sunday, a BBQ breakfast will be held which will be followed by an antenna construction session. This year, under tuition, you have the option of building a linked dipole, an off-centre fed dipole, or a tape measure yagi.


Sunday afternoon will see a large number of amateurs heading out into the
field to activate VKFF parks. Six experienced VKFF park activators have volunteered to take less experienced park activators out to some of the local VKFF parks to show them some of the tips in successfully activating a VKFF park.


The event concludes with a Sunday evening dinner at the Albury Brew House.
As has been the case in previous years, the VKFF Team have negotiated with venues to keep the cost of attendance down. Please be aware that you must register to attend this event. Walk ups to the event will not be accepted. You can attend whatever part of the Get Together you choose, but you must register.


More information on the 2026 VKFF National Get Together can be found on the WWFF Australia website at:wwffaustralia.com

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) held its annual conference in London last week.


The event was organised by RSGB Representative to ARISS, Ciaran Morgan,
M0XTD, and attended by Board Director Patrick Wood, 2E0IFB.


Patrick delivered a short welcome at the event opening on behalf of the RSGB President, and attended an RSGB-sponsored evening reception along with other RSGB Board Directors.


ARISS International contacts are a fantastic way to demonstrate the place of amateur radio within STEM, and the RSGB continues to support this excellent outreach work.

On March 30th the HADES-SA/SpinnyONE satellite was launched into space.

Developed by AMSAT-EA, (Spain) the satellite carries an SSDV and CODEC2
payload for reception by amateur radio enthusiasts around the world. The satellite is actively transmitting images and messages now.


436.666 MHz (200baud FSK)

AMSAT designated this as Spain-OSCAR 127 (SO-127).

AMSAT has submitted a Letter of Intent to NASA Marshall Space Flight Centre
in response to a Sources Sought Notice for CubeSat secondary payload opportunities aboard the Space Launch System on the

Artemis III, IV, and V missions.

The LOI expresses strong interest in developing and flying an
AMSAT-designed CubeSat payload on one or more of these missions. It
highlights the strategic alignment between the opportunity and AMSATs
ongoing *GOLF (Greater Orbit, Larger Footprint)* program, which is building
the technologies and operational experience needed for amateur radio
satellites in progressively higher orbitsfrom LEO through MEO to HEO.

For about half a dozen Swampscott High School students, it's common practice
to visit science teacher Brian Casey's classroom, talk to someone from
Germany, and return to the rest of their day in their school North of Boston USA.


"It's fantastic," said student Davit Movsesyan during the a recent School Committee meeting. "You can spend hours of your time doing crazy stuff."


The students are able to "build community" and connect with people across the world to "gain insight into their lives," thanks to the ham radio club Brian Casey started after a schoolwide show-and-tell-style event last year.

Search-and-rescue crews near Las Vegas have recently responded to 3 hiker emergencies in less than a week.


Rescues on Mount Charleston, Kraft Mountain, and Cathedral Rock are raising concerns about hiker preparedness as triple-digit temperatures approach...including how hikers communicate the need for fire and medical
help.


Recently, Joe Pingree, WB2TVB, and his wife Karen, KG6CUK, hiking in Red Rock Canyon, were interviewed by a reporter from KTNV 13. Joe Pingree said they talked about a lot of issues, including the use of amateur radio.

WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- SOFTWARE FOR HAMS

*OscarWatch Tracker: A New Satellite Tracking Program from MM9SQL*

A new multi-platform desktop satellite tracking application for amateur
radio operators, *OscarWatch Tracker*, has been released and is under
active development. Developed by Peter Goodhall, MM9SQL, and hosted on
GitHub, OscarWatch provides an integrated environment for tracking AMSAT
and other amateur satellites, predicting passes, managing Doppler-corrected frequencies, and optionally automating rotator and radio control all from a single map-centered interface.


OscarWatch is tailored for VHF/UHF satellite operators working FM CubeSats (e.g., SO-50, ISS), linear transponders (e.g., RS-44, FO-29), and similar modes. It assumes familiarity with basic concepts like azimuth, elevation,
and Doppler but automates the calculations and hardware interactions to let operators focus on making contacts.
