1 NIEUWSBRIEF PI4HAL Januari 2021, Nr. 1 N Dit Eerste Nummer Van NIEUWSBRIEF PI4HAL Januari 2021, nr. 1 n dit eerste nummer van het jaar 2021 nummer vinden jullie wederom veel weetjes en nieuwtjes op het gebied van radio en de daaraan gerelateerde hobby, telegrafie en maritieme zaken. Waarom deze specifieke gebieden? Wel omdat PI4HAL de roepnaam is van het radiostation aan boord van het s/s Rotterdam I waarin zo’n veertig jaar marconisten (radio officieren) hun werk hebben gedaan, met zowel telegrafie als telefonie. Nu zijn er naast de ‘gewone’ radiozendamateurs ook een aantal ex-radio officieren die als radiozendamateur aan boord bezig zijn om bezoekers te vertellen over tijden van weleer en hun hobby uit te oefenen, vaak met het gebruik van de morse sleutel. Maar nu – in het corona tijdperk – eventjes niet. Dit verklaart wellicht de interessegebieden van deze nieuwsbrief. Vanzelf- sprekend wens ik iedereen een voorspoedig en gezond 2021. Een nieuw jaar met nieuwe kansen. Veel leesplezier en vriendelijke groet, Bert Trumpie PC4Y A cool salute to our 'troops'.

Wat een jaar hebben we achter de rug. En ik hoop dat jullie allemaal nog steeds niet door Corona zijn E getroffen. Maar als ik de berichten nu over die gemuteerde varianten in Groot- Brittannië moet geloven, zijn we er nog lang niet. Toch gloort er licht aan het einde van de tunnel. De vaccins dienen zich nu in rap tempo aan en mogelijk sluiten we komend jaar af met een diepe zucht dat we de pandemie te boven zijn gekomen. Ik moet zeggen, ik heb en houd goede moed. Zeker zal ik mij laten vaccineren als ik aan de beurt ben, want ik wil bijdragen aan het einde van deze voor velen verschrikkelijke tijden en ik wil terug naar de tijd dat we rustig aan boord van het ss Rotterdam onze activiteiten konden etaleren aan het passerende publiek. Wie zou dat niet willen? Steeds beter dringt het door wat vrijheid betekent, zeker als je de Tweede Wereldoorlog niet hebt meegemaakt. De beperkingen worden rond en tijdens de feestdagen des te meer merkbaar en voelbaar. Voor het bestuur waren de handen in 2020 ook grotendeels gebonden. De initiatieven rond de Morse Academy gingen rechtstreeks de ijskast in en we moesten alle leden vragen – mede op verzoek van onze gastheer WestCord – de activiteiten aan boord te staken. Toch hebben we nog een aantal malen vergaderd, weliswaar online, maar dat verliep allemaal prima en we hebben besloten om eerst de lopende formaliteiten maar af te wikkelen die door omstandigheden waren blijven liggen. Twee jaarrekeningen om precies te zijn, zijn inmiddels door de Kascommissie bekeken en Henk PA0HPV heeft daarop namens de Kascommissie reeds gereageerd. Als het goed is hebben de leden reeds de jaarrekeningen nu in hun bezit of krijgen jullie deze binnenkort. We hebben als Bestuur daarbij zoveel mogelijk de gewone procedures gehanteerd. En daarmee sluiten wij dat formele deel dan af. Tsja en dan 2021. Ik verwacht persoonlijk nog niet dat we in de eerste helft van het jaar alweer aan boord kunnen. Natuurlijk houden wij daarvoor nauw contact met de directie van WestCord op het ss Rotterdam. En natuurlijk zullen wij bij gewijzigde mogelijkheden dit onmiddellijk met de leden communiceren. Ik denk echter dat we op zijn vroegst ergens na de zomer weer actie kunnen ondernemen. Maar ook ik heb die kristallen bol niet. We moeten het afwachten. We zullen met elkaar door moeten bijten en vol moeten houden in ieders belang. Een jaarafsluiting is ook niet zonder wens voor het komende jaar. In dat kader wens ik, mede namens het hele bestuur, iedereen hele fijne feestdagen, een goede jaarwisseling en veel voorspoed en gezondheid. Laten we vooral dat laatste als echt 3 NIEUWSBRIEF PI4HAL Januari 2021, nr. 1 voornemen delen! Ik spreek dan ook de hoop en wens uit dat we elkaar ergens in 2021 weer normaal de handen kunnen schudden en normaal die knop van dezelfde microfoon in kunnen drukken waarbij wij onze missie op het ss Rotterdam weer in volle vaart kunnen oppakken. Tot slot: wij mogen ons gelukkig prijzen met onze hobby, want wij kunnen tijdens deze lock-down draadloos contact leggen met vele andere mensen over de hele wereld. Laten wij deze dagen ook eens stil staan bij onze buren, vrienden en familie die deze hobby niet hebben en misschien vereenzamen. Kijk eens in de eigen omgeving en stap eens af op die buurman, vriend of familielid. Mogelijk kunnen wij ook zonder elektronica contact leggen. Want zendamateur of niet: met deze feestdagen hoeft niemand alleen te zijn! Ik spreek u graag volgend jaar! Proost ! Edward / PE!EEF 4 NIEUWSBRIEF PI4HAL Januari 2021, nr. 1 Charles Wheatstone harles Wheatstone (Gloucester (Gloucestershire), 6 februari 1802 – Parijs, 9 oktober 1875) was een Brits wetenschapper en uitvinder van verschillende C wetenschappelijke doorbraken in het victoriaanse tijdperk, waaronder de Engelse concertina, de stereoscoop en het Playfaircijfer. Hij is het best bekend voor zijn bijdragen aan de brug van Wheatstone, een instrument voor het meten van elektrische weerstand, oorspronkelijk uitgevonden door Samuel Hunter Christie. Ook speelde hij een grote rol in de ontwikkeling van telegrafie, in 1837 nam hij samen met William Fothergill Cooke het eerste Britse octrooi op de elektrische naaldtelegraaf. Verder was hij betrokken bij het vooronderzoek naar telegrafie via onderzeese kabels. Levensloop Charles werd geboren nabij Gloucester als tweede zoon van William Wheatstone, schoenmaker en muziekverkoper, en Beata Bubb. In 1806 verhuisde het gezin naar Londen waar zijn vader leraar fluitspeler werd. Voor de verhuizing ging hij reeds naar een dorpsschool in Gloucester en daarna naar verschillende scholen in Londen, maar hij volgde geen specifiek wetenschappelijk onderwijs. Als jongen was hij verlegen en gevoelig en trok hij zich vaak terug in een kelder waar alleen zijn gedachten hem gezelschap hielden. Toen hij ongeveer veertien jaar oud was werd hij leerjongen bij zijn oom en naamgenoot, die maker en verkoper van muziekinstrumenten was in Londen. Wheatstone had meer interesse voor het lezen van boeken dan voor handarbeid of de handel. Desondanks maakte hij in 1818 – hij was pas zestien jaar oud – een nieuw type muziekinstrument, de flute harmonique, een soort fluit met kleppen. Het grootste deel van zijn zakgeld gaf hij uit aan boeken. Op een dag vond hij een boek over de ontdekkingen van de Italiaanse natuurkundige Alessandro Volta. Pas nadat hij genoeg gespaard had kon hij het boek kopen. Hij begon het boek te lezen en met de hulp van zijn oudere broer William begon hij de beschreven experimenten te herhalen. In de bijkeuken van zijn vaders huis bouwden ze eigenhandig een batterij. De constructie ervan bracht de jongens

  • WWVB: a Half Century of Delivering Accurate Frequency and Time by Radio
    Volume 119 (2014) http://dx.doi.org/10.6028/jres.119.004 Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology WWVB: A Half Century of Delivering Accurate Frequency and Time by Radio Michael A. Lombardi and Glenn K. Nelson National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, CO 80305 [email protected] [email protected] In commemoration of its 50th anniversary of broadcasting from Fort Collins, Colorado, this paper provides a history of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) radio station WWVB. The narrative describes the evolution of the station, from its origins as a source of standard frequency, to its current role as the source of time-of-day synchronization for many millions of radio controlled clocks. Key words: broadcasting; frequency; radio; standards; time. Accepted: February 26, 2014 Published: March 12, 2014 http://dx.doi.org/10.6028/jres.119.004 1. Introduction NIST radio station WWVB, which today serves as the synchronization source for tens of millions of radio controlled clocks, began operation from its present location near Fort Collins, Colorado at 0 hours, 0 minutes Universal Time on July 5, 1963. Thus, the year 2013 marked the station’s 50th anniversary, a half century of delivering frequency and time signals referenced to the national standard to the United States public. One of the best known and most widely used measurement services provided by the U. S. government, WWVB has spanned and survived numerous technological eras. Based on technology that was already mature and well established when the station began broadcasting in 1963, WWVB later benefitted from the miniaturization of electronics and the advent of the microprocessor, which made low cost radio controlled clocks possible that would work indoors.

  • PSAD-79-48A an Unclassified Version of a Classified Report
    STUDYBY THE STAFFOF THE‘U.S. General Accounting Office An Unclassified Version Of A Classified Report Entitled “The Navy’s Strategic Communications Systems--Need For Management Attention And Decisionmaking” Peacetime communications systems provide reliable day-to-day communications to the strategic submarine force. However, the Navy’s most survivable wartime communica- tions link to nuclear-powered strategic submarines--the TACAMO aircraft--has cer- tain problems which need attention. Also, the Navy should reconsider whether another peacetime communications system--the extremely low frequency system--is needed. COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. O.C. 20548 B-168707 To the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives This report is an unclassified version of a SECRET report (PSAD-79-48, March 19, 1979) to the Congress that describes the various communications systems used by our strategic submarine force and questions the need for the extremely low frequency system. Also, the report addresses the need for support of the TACAMO comnunications system. We made this study because of widespread congressional interest in strategic communications systems, especially the TACAMO and proposed extremely low frequency systems. These issues are receiving increased recognition, and the Navy plans to spend millions of dollars to improve the TACAMO system and conduct research and development on the extremely low frequency system. Copies of this report are being sent to the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Navy.

  • Drink and the Victorians
    DRINK AND THE VICTORIANS A HISTORY OF THE BRITISH TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT PAGING NOTE: Pamphlets, journals, and periodicals are paged using the number of the item on the list below, and the call number 71-03051. Books are cataloged individually – get author/title info below, and search SearchWorks for online record and call number. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE This collection has been formed by the amalgamation of two smaller but important collections. The larger part, probably about three-quarters of the whole, was formed by William Hoyle of Claremont, Bury, near Manchester. The other part was formerly in the Joseph Livesey Library, Sheffield, and many of the pamphlets carry that library stamp. The catalogue has three main elements: pamphlets and tracts; books, including a section of contemporary biography; and newspapers, journals and conference reports. There are around 1400 separately published pamphlets and tracts but a series of tracts, or part of a series, has usually been catalogued as one item. The Hoyle collection of pamphlets, is bound in 24 volumes, mostly half black roan, many with his ownership stamp. All the pieces from the Joseph Livesey Library are disbound; so that any item described as "disbound" may be assumed to be from the Livesey collection and all the others, for which a volume and item number are given, from Hoyle's bound collection. INTRODUCTION By Brian Harrison Fellow and Tutor in Modern History and Politics, Corpus Christi College, Oxford. Anyone keen to understand the Victorians can hardly do better than devour Joseph Livesey's Staunch Teetotaler (458) or J.G. Shaw's Life of William Gregson.

MECHANO-MAGNETIC TELEMETRY FOR URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING A Thesis Presented by Daniel J. Orfeo to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Specializing in Mechanical Engineering January, 2018 Defense Date: December 13, 2017 Thesis Examination Committee: Dryver R. Huston, Ph.D., Advisor Tian Xia, Ph.D., Chairperson Darren L. Hitt, Ph.D. Cynthia J. Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College ABSTRACT Many cities seek utilities monitoring with centrally managed Internet of Things (IoT) systems. This requires the development of numerous reliable low-cost wireless sensors, such as water temperature and flow meters, that can transmit information from subterranean pipes to surface-mounted receivers. Traditional radio communication systems are either unable to penetrate through multiple feet of earthen and manmade material, or have impractically large energy requirements which necessitate either frequent replacement of batteries, or a complex (and expensive) built-in energy harvesting system.

  • Chronological History U. S. Naval
    CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY U. S. NAVAL COMMUNICATIONS 1776 (1) Continental Navy is organized under Commodore Esek Hopkins, our first naval Commander-in-Chief. (23) Continental Congress issues first naval signal instructions, regarding the manipulation of sails and the positions from which the ensign and other national flags are flown. 1777 Maritime Committee of the Continental Congress orders commander of an American Squadron to take his force to the British West Indies, formulate such signal procedures as required to control his ships in battle, and intercept a British merchant fleet leaving Jamaica. 1797 Capt Thomas Truxtun, USN, issues first known American signal boot using numerary system. Ten pennants, made of combinations of red, white, blue and yellow bunting, with flags for repeaters, are used. The volume contains approximately two hundred and ninety signals. (Fog signals are indicated by gun and musket fire, and night signals by lanterns and gunfire.) The Navy officially accepts Capt Truxtun’s visual signaling system. 1802 The signal book of Commodore John Barry, USN, and Capt James Barron, USN, replaces Truxtun’s signal book. This was known as the Barron Signal Book. It was basically the same as Capt Truxtun’s but more efficiently organized. 1813 Barron Signal Book is revised, substituting flags for pennants and adding shapes. 1824 Secretary of the Navy officially assigns responsibility for Naval Communications to the Board of Commissioners. 1847 Navy adopts the Rageus and Black Semaphore Dictionary. 1857 Navy Department issues a revision of the signal book of 1813. It includes signals for movement under steam and prescribes three orders of steaming.

  • Luzum Assistant Vice President for Facilities Registered Professional Engineer in Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Facilities-Administration (1990-2000)
    Gerald D. “Jerry” Luzum Assistant Vice President for Facilities Registered Professional Engineer In Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Facilities-Administration (1990-2000) U. S Navy Captain Civil Engineer Corps (July 1961 –September 1990) Born in Postville, Iowa. Graduated from Iowa State University in July 1961 with a Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering and commissioned as an Ensign in the Navy Reserves. Three days after commissioning he was married to Rosemary Kelp in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Within a week he and Rosemary had to report to Port Hueneme, California, to attend a three month Civil Engineer Corps Training School. On their way to California, they spent a three-day honeymoon at Yosemite National Park and learned the finer points of keeping a bear out of their tent. His first assignment was that of a Project Manager for the Ship Repair Facility at Subic Bay, Philippines. This position’s responsibilities included coordinating the repair and maintenance of cranes and their tracks, roads, piers and wharfs. This job was especially challenging during the three-month monsoon season each year. Another challenge was to keep the locals from stealing the top rail of the many chain link fences they used as water pipes. However, there was the opportunity to travel to Baguio, Banoue (World Famous Rice Terraces), Japan and Hong Kong and snorkel in the beautiful bay. Rosemary, a non-swimmer when we arrived, took advantage of the nearby swimming pool and generally warm weather to become qualified as a swimming instructor and lifeguard. Jerry’s commanding officer held staff meetings at 4 PM on Wednesday at the golf course, which had such steep hills that rope tows were installed.
