FLORIDA LEGISLATION SOUGHT TO END DEED RESTRICTIONS
"Deed restrictions and other Covenants work against the safety
of the entire community and should be revised." So says National
Amateur Radio Association President Donald Stoner, W6TNS in
announcing a two prong attack against these property use
constraints.
First off, Stoner has filed suit against his owners
association known as 440 West Inc. of Clearwater Florida. He
maintains that the owners association has banned him from
erecting any form of ham radio communications antenna, while at
the same time violating the prohibition by having installed a
community television antenna and a two way radio system for
security use. W6TNS says that the ban on his installation of an
antenna has violated his civil rights and impaired his freedom of
speech.
But Stoner believes that any solution for him will be short
term. That it may not assist other Florida radio amateurs
finding themselves in a similar situation. Nor will it help to
set a national precedent to help hams in other states.
Stoner says that this has to change even if change is made a
matter of law. To that end. W6TNS has proposed legislation that
will require that each condominium, planned community, and mobile
home park in Florida to have an emergency preparedness plan. A
plan which includes ham radio. If an Amateur lives in one of
these planned communities, he or she would be allowed by law to
install an antenna system suitable for providing safety
communications to the community.
W6TNS points out that it was not all that long ago when
Florida residents had a painful, first-hand example of a
communications emergency when hurricane Andrew devastated south
Florida. He says that communications provided by radio amateurs
was vital to the life saving effort during the storm and to
relief efforts afterward. Yet he notes that many communities and
property owners who owe their very survival to the volunteer
efforts of radio amateurs have not only turned their backs on
these communications heros. Some have gone so far as to show
their collective displeasure with the very existence of the
Amateur Radio service. This has to stop says Stoner and he
intends to be one of the leaders in bringing about the needed
change.
Radio amateurs from throughout Florida and from around the
nation who wish to support the Stoner's legislation should
contact Richard Heiden, Esq. at Kimpton, Burke and White,
Attorneys At Law, 28059 U.S. Highway 19 North, Clearwater,
Florida 34621. Heiden is the attorney of record in Stoner's suit
against the owners association and directs Stoner's legislative
efforts in the State of Florida. If enacted, this law could
become the model for hams to use in other states and possibly
lead to preemption of Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions
nationwide.

BROADCASTERS PREVAIL OVER FAIRNESS DOCTRINE
A federal appeals court has handed broadcasters a win in their
fight to keep the so-called Fairness Doctrine from being revived.
This, by ruling that Congress never intended to make the Fairness
Doctrine the law of the land when it amended communications law
in 1959.
The Fairness Doctrine was a rule tossed out by the FCC in
1988 that required broadcasters to air both sides of a
controversial issue. A liberal Washington D.C. public interest
law firm known as Media Access Project had brought suit in the
U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis claiming that
Congress indeed "codified" the Fairness Doctrine in 1959.
However, in a 7 to 5 vote, the court rejected the claim.
The 8th Circuit's decision is identical to a ruling rendered
several years ago by a Washington D.C. federal appeals court. It
is important since Media Access Project and other organizations
had hoped the U.S. Supreme Court would take up the question of
the constitutionality of the Fairness Doctrine.
Broadcasters and others who oppose the re-imposition of the
Fairness Doctrine appear to be winning in their efforts in
fighting the current liberal Democratic Congress that wants to
revive it. Its opponents claim that reinstatement of the rule
would serve to chill free-speech rights of TV and radio station
operators.

NEW JERSEY RADIO TAX
A hearing has been held in Trenton, New Jersey on a revenue
enhancing bill. The state says that it wants to charge a fee for
all transmitters operating in the state.
The proposed regulation by the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection and Energy, is intended to raise the
money needed to enforce a 10 year old state law restricting
excessive RF radiation. At least that is how the state sees it.
Virtually all of the speakers at the January 11th public hearing
viewed the proposed fees to be levied on transmitting antennas as
nothing more than a tax on Federally licensed transmitters.
Department officials had promised to exempt hams, but the
proposal itself didn't do that and comments were invited on the
possibility of regulating hams in the future. ARRL General
Counsel Chris Imlay, N3AKD came to Trenton from Washington to
argue that only FCC had the legal power to regulate hams. The
ARRL Section Manager for northern New Jersey Rich Moseson, NW2L,
explained how such a regulation with fees averaging $250 per
antenna would virtually shut down amateur radio in the state.
The league asked that a specific exemption for hams be added to
the proposed regulation. Several other hams testified as well.
*****
CALL SIGN ADMINISTRATOR PROGRAM DEAD
The FCC has withdrawn an order issued in May 1993 establishing
a club and military recreation station call sign administrator
program. The FCC said that its newly proposed vanity call sign
program will be administered by the Commission itself, would make
the volunteer administrator plan unnecessary.
The FCC also noted that a Petition for Reconsideration of the
administrator program, filed in June 1993 by David Popkin, W2CC,
had merit. Popkin said that contrary to the FCC's Order,
establishing a call sign administrator program IS controversial,
and should have been subject to a notice and comment rule making
proceeding. The FCC granted Popkin's petition. The FCC will
return applications to be call sign program administrators to the
parties concerned, without action.

YOUNG HAM WINS CONTEST TO SEE SHUTTLE LAUNCH
When space shuttle Endeavor lifts off on April 7th, an 8th
grade youngster from Staten Island New York will be at Cape
Canaveral to watch. Rene Hoehn, KB2QMR, has been chosen by the
faculty of the Rocco Laurie Intermediate School to be there after
winning an essay contest.
"When I received the invitation to attend the launch I was all
excited, and I was more excited when I found out I was allowed to
bring people with me. My immediate family, of course, got the
first couple of invitations, and then I decided to throw it open
to my other children and that's the children I teach amateur
radio to at my schools.
And what we did was we had a little essay contest that I
opened up to my amateur radio classes, all thirteen of them. And
each child who wanted to participate in this and get to witness
the shuttle Endeavor going up and who wouldn't had to tell me why
I should pick them. Why they wanted to go." Carole Perry,
WB2MGP
Carole says that she decided to limit the contest to only her
ham radio students for several reasons. "The reason I restricted
it to my ham radio kids was I wanted the other school, the rest
of the school population to realize the really neat things that
can happen to the children who are in fact in contact with people
like astronauts on ham radio. And so it brought school-wide
attention to the fact that these were really lucky children
indeed and heighten awareness once again in the space program,
which is another objective of mine at the school and showing all
the neat stuff you can do with ham radio." Carole Perry, WB2MGP.
Rene Hoehn was selected by a committee of judges that included
the Principal and Assistant Principal of the Rocco Laurie School
as well as Carole Perry. The trip to the STS-56 launch will not
be the first special school event that KB2QMR has attended.
WB2MGP says that Rene is student who gets involved. "This
youngster has participated in other events with me like Ocean
Challenge last year. Where she got to meet Rich Wilson the
amateur onboard the Ocean Challenge sailboat. She came with me
to the sea port to meet him cause she had spoken to him on the
radio. And a real sweetheart, loves ham radio and she is a
lovely lovely young lady it will be a pleasure to go with her."
Carole Perry, WB2MGP.
By the way, STS-56 will be a Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment
flight. Among its crew members will be Astronaut Jay Apt, N5QWL.

FEMALE ANCHOR WANTED
Newsline is looking for a lady ham with professional
broadcasting announcing experience who would like to become a
part of our all volunteer news anchor team. Over the past two
years, the number of women joining amateur radio has grown
substantially. We at Newsline feel that its long overdue that
a female voice should also be a regular part of our team of
reporters as well.
In years past there have been several female reporters and
anchors heard on Newsline. The late Lenore Jensen, W6NAZ was
the very first. But more recently there have been few if any
female voices heard on Newsline. As producers of the newscasts
feel that its time for this to change.
If you have the needed skill, a fax machine, a broadcast
quality tape recorder and some free time, and if you want to
become a part of the Newsline family, why not drop us a note or a
demonstration tape and let us know who you are. We at Newsline
are waiting to hear from you. Our address will be heard at the
end of the newscast.

MOTOROLA
Motorola says that an advertisement appearing in several
magazines that starts out -- attention -- this is a public safety
announcement -- is actually aimed at cellular telephone hackers.
These are thieves who have found ways of diverting the billing of
cellular phone calls to unsuspecting legal users of the service.
There are even books now on general sale that tell anyone with a
small amount of technical knowledge how to do it, but one
publications says that it won't carry ads for them, that's The
American Radio Relay League. They say it will not permit the
advertising of these or other cheat books in its QST magazine.

The Full Kp Indices for 15 JAN 94 are: 3+ 4o 3- 2+ 3o 3- 3+ 3+
SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was low. Activity this period consisted
of two optically uncorrelated C-class events (C1.1 And C8.5), a
C1.4 Subflare from newly numbered Region 7654 (N08E74), and
limb surging, again from 7654. White light reports indicate
this region has developed into a beta-gamma as it slowly
rotates onto the disk. Region 7655 (S07W24) was also numbered
last night. Regions 7650 and 7653 rotated off the disk. All
other regions are stable.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to
remain low. Region 7654 continues to grow as it rotates
onto the disk and offers the greatest probability for C-
class and possible M-class activity.
STD: A major class M6.1/1B tenflare erupted out of Region 7654
at 16/2325Z. The flare was associated with a moderate Type II
sweep with an estimated shock velocity of 400 km/sec. The
tenflare measured 180 sfu and lasted 10 minutes at 2317Z.
The geomagnetic field has been at mostly unsettled levels
at middle latitudes and at mostly active levels in the higher
latitudes.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to remain at mostly unsettled levels for the next
three days.

HF propagation conditions were normal over all regions
except for night-sector transauroral and some night-sector
transpolar circuits, where minor signal degradation was
observed. Similar conditions are expected over the next 72
hours. Periods of degraded propagation are expected to
continue over the high and polar latitude night-sector paths. A
moderate SWF was observed in conjunction with the M6.1 flare
noted above. Additional SWF activity is expected from the new
region rotating around the east limb of the Sun.
