FWD: Shortwave Monitoring The Iraq War
by Paul Cronshaw, D.C. 24 Mar '03

24 Mar '03

Shortwave Monitoring The Iraq War As the world waits and watches Iraq, if you've got a shortwave receiver with sideband mode (USB and LSB) you can hear certain military communications related to the conflict including many long-distance GHFS (Global HF System) stations including Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) and Skyking messages which are high-priority messages for air and ground stations. Frequencies to monitor (in the USB mode) include: 4709, 4724, 6712, 6739, 8992, 11175, 11271, 15038 (11175 is a very active frequency most of the time) Shortwave broadcasts from the Middle East that you can hear with a reasonable antenna include the following. Note that UTC (Universal Time) is 5 hours ahead of EST. Note that because the changing situation in the area these times and frequencies are subject to change; of course checking the frequencies from time to time is your best bet of hearing a broadcast. Egypt, Radio Cairo on 9900 at 2315 UTC Iran, Voice of the Islamic Republic, Tehran on 9022 at 1030 UTC (also on 9835 and 11970) Iran also on 13730 and 13745 at 1330 UTC. Iraq, Radio Baghdad on 11787 (varies slightly to 11785) at 2000 UTC. Also check 15265, 15375, 15385, 21470 at 1100 UTC. Israel, Kol Israel on 6280, 7475, 9435 at 0500 (also on 11605). Israel also on 15640, 17535 and 6220 at 2000 UTC. Also check 1700 UTC on 17545. At 1900 UTC on 11605, 15615 and 17545. Kuwait (Radio Kuwait) on 11990 kHz at 1800 UTC. Also check 15110 kHz. Syria, Radio Damascus on 12085 (and 13610 frequently) at 0500 and 2000 UTC Turkey, Voice of Turkey, Ankara on 11960 and 12000 at 2100 UTC; on 6020 at 0400 and 2300 UTC United Arab Emirates Radio, Dubai on 13675, 15395 at 0020, 1330 UTC; 15395 at 0030; 0200 on 15395 and 15370

Generating Timely Publicity
by Marvin Johnston 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

Here is a posting to the ARRLSBCLUBS listserver by Jeff Reinhardt, and I am reposting it here. There are some good ideas here! ARRLSBCLUBS - Helping Your Club Grow and Prosper. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To all Santa Barbara Section Clubs and Public Info Officers: Below please find a posting I sent to the ARRL PR Reflector. Below that, also find a release I sent out relative to my club, the Conejo Valley ARC. To summarize both; let's do all we can to call attention to the communications role we play in these critical times. Jeff Reinhardt AA6JR =========================== As evidenced on this reflector the past few days, we're seeing a "cluster" of stories erupt around ham radio, mostly tied to homeland security and the war effort. Take this is both an opportunity and as a lesson on how the media works. News operations often take their cue from one another. I don't think its a coincidence that we see a story from Paul Harvey, some stories in daily newspapers and now the electronic media are making contacts seeking a line on Amateur Radio's role in Homeland Security and military operations. Let's be prepared and also do some outreach with local media outlets, who are always looking for a "local angle" on a big story. Pull together the facts, eg: how many hams in your area active in ARES, RACES and/or MARS. Identify any hams who may have additional roles with support organizations such as Red Cross/Salvation Army. True we're not THE story, but we're part of the bigger story and that can work to our benefit, particularly if we're able to plug our other roles, such as education, storm watch, etc. For additional info, refer to the PR Manual on the ARRL web page (in the PR section). We have a good opportunity here, don't let it pass without some effort at making a positive tie in for ham radio and the good people who volunteer so much time to others. Thanks, Jeff Reinhardt AA6JR Chairman - ARRL PR Committee Public Info Coordinator - Santa Barbara Section ------------------ FOR MORE INFORMATION: Jeff Reinhardt PIO (818) 706-3853 For Immediate Release Local Ham Radio Operators Support Homeland Security Effort THOUSAND OAKS, CA-Amateur Radio (or "Ham") operators are ready and able to assist in any activity related to Homeland Security emergencies that may occur in Ventura and Los Angeles counties. With hundreds of licensed operators in the area, the radio volunteers stand ready to assist the Ventura County and Los Angeles County Sheriff's departments as a "ready reserve" of communications experts that can overcome obstacles and assist with interagency communications. "Ham radio operators are ready to go at a moment's notice," said Greg Lane, a Newbury Park resident who coordinates emergency responders for the Ventura County Sheriff's Department. "We hold weekly drills to test our equipment and to keep our personal communications skills sharp." The volunteers also participate in field drills, where they set up operations in support of community events, such as art festivals, fund-raising walks and bike rides and tests of their abilities to set up radio communications without the benefit of commercial power, using their own batteries and generators. Hams also assist with passing messages to members of the military, conveying greetings from family members or news from home, such as the birth of a new baby. "The traffic handling system established by hams is one of the most enduring services performed by radio volunteers, " said Rob Hanson, of Thousand Oaks. "Time and again it has proven its worth during emergencies such as earthquakes, hurricanes or floods. Following a major event, such as the hurricane in Hawaii a few years ago, hams are often the first to establish communications and help get assistance to where it is needed most. We have a great tradition of service." Persons interested in learning more about ham radio can contact the Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club web site at www.cvarc.org or at the website of the American Radio Relay League at www.arrl.org. ### _______________________________________________ ARRL SBSCC List Mailer To Subscribe: mailto:arrlsbclubs-request@mailman.qth.net?subject=subscribe To Post: mailto:arrlsbclubs@mailman.qth.net Web site: http://www.qsl.net/arrlsbclubs Administrator: mailto:arrlsbclubs@qsl.net
