France's National Frequency Agency ANFR announced the amateur radio 144/430/1240/2300 MHz bands would be used by the 2024 Olympic Games. REF has now issued a statement The following is the REF post reads: The ANFR presented to the REF the spectrum management plan. The exceptional frequency needs expressed for the smooth running of the 2024 Olympic Games in France correspond to the global challenge of this type of event. As such, in the VHF/UHF/SHF bands, French assignees, as well as radio amateurs, see the use of certain bands modified according to the OJ 2024 frequency management plan present on the site. It should be noted that the first frequency allocations, by the ANFR, will not begin until 2023 and will continue in phases. It is with a view to anticipation that this information was shared by the Agency. The ANFR indeed wishes the support and the cooperation of the radio amateur community for this event and thus to allow an optimal management of the bands. Of course, a certain number of specific points are still to be discussed with the agency concerning our activities (automatic stations, etc.) and will be the subject of a communication in the months to come. The Hamexpo exhibition in October 2022 could be an opportunity for the ANFR to explain and specify the proposed measures. It seems important to remember that these measurements are strictly limited geographically and in time and whose use by radio amateurs is moderate during this period and on these sites. For this, the Agency is counting on the entire amateur radio community and will rely on the associations to ensure that this message is relayed. The REF wishes to encourage its members and the entire amateur community to support this project and thus guarantee the quality of contacts with the Agency and the project partners.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has announced that the next World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23) will take place from 20 November to 15 December 2023 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.  The Conference, held every four years for four weeks, is mandated to update the Radio Regulations, the only international treaty governing the radio frequency spectrum and the use of geostationary and non-geostationary satellite orbits. WRC-23 will bring together national government authorities and telecommunications regulators, as well as representatives of major radiocommunications users and providers, for important policy and technical regulatory discussions at a global level. Majed Sultan Al Mesmar, Director General of the UAE Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) said, "As a major hub and global leader in the digital economy, the UAE is keen to support the ITU in completing the allocation of resources such as global radio spectrum and satellite orbital positions to create a seamless, reliable and innovative global communications system." "WRC-23 will play a key role in shaping the future of the technical and regulatory framework for the provision of radiocommunication services in all countries," said Mario Maniewicz, Director of the ITU Radiocommunication Bureau. "The economic opportunities offered by technology should not only be available to some of us, but to all. I am pleased to see ITU members making steady progress to ensure that next year's conference is a success." Prior to the flagship meeting, the Radiocommunication Assembly (RA-23) will be held at the same location from 13 to 17 November 2023. Over 4,000 delegates from ITU's 193 Member States are expected to attend WRC-23 and RA-23. Also present as observers were representatives from the 278 ITU Radiocommunication Sector Members representing various stakeholders including equipment manufacturers, telecommunications companies, network operators, international organizations and industry forums , as well as ITU's sister United Nations agencies, regional telecommunications operating satellite systems and intergovernmental organizations, and academia.

Ham radio operators from the Stanly County Amateur Radio Club (K4OGB) participated in the 2022 Field Day sponsored by the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL) national amateur radio exercise on June 25. The event has been an annual amateur radio activity organized since 1933 by ARRL, The National Association for Amateur Radio in the United States. The Stanly County Club made more than 250 contacts in 40 states and two international contacts to Wales, England and San Paulo, Brazil. Contacts were made on emergency power systems using solar panels and batteries. Portable antennas were erected for the event at the picnic shelter on the summit of Morrow Mountain. Hams from across North America ordinarily participate in Field Day by establishing temporary ham radio stations in public locations to demonstrate their skill and service. Their use of radio signals, which reach beyond borders, bring people together while providing essential communication in the service of communities. Field Day highlights ham radio’s ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent, wireless communications network. This public service is easily extended during non-emergency civic events, such as parades, 5K Runs, marathons, and street festivals. Among the tenets of the Amateur Radio Service is developing and practicing skills in radio technology and radio communications, and even contributing to international goodwill. Hams range in age from as young as 9 to older than 100.

Santa Cruz County emergency leaders are adding NOAA Weather radio as a new tool for alerts and warnings during disasters. Residents living in high fire danger or remote areas are encouraged to buy one. After the Fire, community members voiced concern about communication issues--because landlines and cell phone service were down during the fire. "It's going to be an effective way to tell you this is what's happening. This is what you need to be concerned about," said Dave Reid, Santa Cruz County Response, Recovery director. NOAA （emergency weather） radios are being touted as a new tool for alerts and warnings during disasters. The county is encouraging residents in high fire danger areas to purchase them as we head into the peak of fire season. The super power walkie-talkie of HYDX A588 supports NOAA weather scan and alert. It can scan 10 hazards weather channels transmitting in your area even with no cell phone service. If you turn on the weather emergency alert function, the work radio will auto alert you the warnings from designated NOAA broadcast stations, you can earn a critical time to prepare and save your family. For years, the Santa Cruz County Amateur Radio Service has been the backbone of support in emergencies. There are more than 75 ham radio operators throughout the county.

Last weekend, Weaver and Michael, headed to Fairmont from the Bluegrass State where they took part in Annual Field Day Exercises sponsored by the Fairmont-based Mountaineer Amateur Radio Association in concert with the American Radio Relay League. About 24 ham operators camped out from Friday through Sunday for the event. It's a fun event in which ham radio operators throughout the U.S. and Canada try to see how many long-distance contacts they can make with other hams from 2 p.m. Saturday to 2 p.m. Sunday Eastern Time during the last weekend in June. Wilson became interested in ham radio when he was a freshman at East Fairmont High. While he was in high school, he met Weaver via ham radio, who was growing up in Buckhannon. The two became friends and continued working in ham radio while they attended West Virginia University. "I started in 1970," Wilson said. "I got my basic license then, it was called a novice license, and I've only missed a few years since the late 70s." This year's goal was to make 800 contacts using Morse Code. One year, the club made just over 1,000 contacts. "Back when I was a kid, I loved picking up long distance stations — AM, shortwave, FM," Roberts said. "I've just been fascinated by it ever since. There's a magic to radio that just fascinates me. It never gets boring." Roberts tried his hand at communicating with other hams using the club's new digital radio. One laptop was setup on the left of a table hooked up to an analog transmitter. On the right of the table is a second laptop where Roberts logged in contacts he made into a special tracking software. He types in specific codes. "CQ means we're calling. FD means Field Day. W8SP is the club's call sign," Roberts said.

Using a lightweight handheld antenna made of small archery arrows, Bob Matreci tried to connect to a satellite hovering about 200 miles above the ground. If successful,sometimes amateur radio operators like Matreci can contact the International Space Station. On Saturday, though, Matreci wasn’t having much luck with only static coming over the channel. Matreci was one of about a dozen local amateur radio operators participating in the American Radio Relay League’s annual Field Day. The event brings together thousands of radio amateurs who set up temporary transmitting stations across the country to show off their skills and educate the public on how amateur radio, also known as ham radio, works. Across the lawn at Finley Community Park in west Santa Rosa, members of the Sonoma County Radio Amateurs set up several stations displaying different types of communications devices. They worked to contact other operators along the West Coast — in some cases as far east as Kansas — through voice, satellite, digital communication and Morse code. Operating amateur radios started off as a hobby for many of the club’s members but it has real-world practices here in the North Bay where wildfires and power outages can cut off cellphone and internet service, making it difficult to coordinate operations during emergencies, said Darryl Paule, outreach coordinator for the club. “When all else fails, there’s always ham radio,” Paule said. “Ham radio is an important fabric of the community, especially in fire season.” At a nearby tent, Howard Sidorsky listened to the tone denoting the dots and dashes coming over the signal at a Morse code station. This method is used to communicate long distances and advanced operators can send several words per minute making it possible to communicate quickly, said Sidorsky, who first received his license in 1958 but picked up the hobby again in the 1970s.

Athens State University will be partaking in the 2022 Ham Radio Field Day-by letting objects fly from an Athens park. The University said students from ASU’s American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Student Branch will be launching up to two high-altitude telemetry balloons from Swan Creek Park (98 US-31, next to Athens Middle School). The public is invited to attend the launch, tentatively planned for 10 a.m., Saturday June 25. Bill Brown, from NASA Artemis Risk Management, will supervise the launches, which may circle the Earth if they get high enough and catch the jet stream! Students on the ASU Mission Control team will track the balloons, which will report GPS coordinates, height, speed, and observations. "It’s a great opportunity to involve our STEM students, and others in a real mission. It’s also good training for our future STEM-SAT1 (Radio-Astronomy CubeSat) launch scheduled for 4th quarter 2023 on a Vaya Space Dauntless rocket." The launch has a dual educational purpose for the University – it will support the training of Aerospace Systems Management students in Mission Control and Communications, as well as serve as a planned mission simulation for a summer course the University is offering. The launch is being conducted in coordination with the local Athens Amateur Radio Club.

Fulton Amateur Radio Club (F.A.R.C.) operators, with the support of the Oswego County Emergency Communicators/R.A.C.E.S. (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) and Oswego County Emergency Management Office, will take part in the ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League) Annual National Field Day event June 25-26, 2022 at Fort Ontario in Oswego. This Field Day event runs for 24 straight hours, F.A.R.C. and R.A.C.E.S operator's will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday June 25 and finish at 1 p.m. on June 26. Amateur Radio operators better known as “hams"， because in the early 1900's, the operators enjoy talking to others across the air waves about anything and everything. Hams from across North America ordinarily participate in Field Day by establishing temporary ham radio stations in public locations to demonstrate their emergency skills and service. Their use of radio signals, which reach beyond borders, brings people together while providing essential communication in the service of communities. Field Day highlights ham radio's ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent, wireless communications network. Many hams have portable radio communication capability that includes alternative energy sources such as generators, solar panels, and batteries to power their equipment.

The hobby of amateur radio, and portable walkie talkie operating in particular, will receive some high profile coverage this coming Sunday, 5th June, on national televsion. The long-running BBC Countryfile programme airs at 6pm on the main BBC1 channel, and will be based from Flat Holm Island in the Bristol Channel. This location can claim to be the birthplace of radio as it was the site of Marconi's first radio transmissions over sea. Presenters Ellie Harrison and Matt Baker will be with leading Summits on the Air (SOTA) operator Ben Lloyd GW4BML as he sets up a portable station on the island in order to contact SOTA activators on hill and mountain summits around the UK.
