Amateur Radio Newsline Report number 2515 with a release date of Friday, January 9, 2026 to follow in 5 4, 3, 2 1. The following is a QST the FCC bans the sale of foreign made drones in the U.S. montenegro launches its first satellite and an HF net to take care of family caregivers on all this and more as Amateur Radio Newsline Report number 2515 comes your way right now from around the world. This is Newsline, Amateur Radio's Independent on the Air News and Bulletin Service. Now reporting from Union, Kentucky, here's Neil Rath, WB9VPG. Our top story is of particular interest to drone users. A ban on imports into the US now means that only American made drones with American American made parts may be sold here. Kent Peterson, KC0DGY picks up the story from here. The import and sales of foreign made drones and components are now banned in the US following action by the Federal Communications Commission citing the potential of national security risks. The agency's move follows an executive order from the White House in June banning unmanned aircraft systems and their parts. The executive order, known as Restoring American Aerospace Sovereignty, stated that the move also has the goal of boosting drone manufacture in the US for use here and for export to the global marketplace. The ban is expected to have far reaching effects on drone sellers as well as their customers. Drones are widely used by first responders, farmers, business owners and hobbyists. The ban only affects new products that are not already Here in the US this is Kent Peterson, KC0DGY as of January 1st, the landscape for drone operators has also changed in the uk. Under new Civil Aviation Authority regulations, each drone to be sold must carry class marks that reflect compliance with that particular aircraft's technical and safety standards. The class marks are similar to those used in the EU and cover where and how the drone can be flown. There is also an array of new regulations covering different weights of drones and their permitted proximity to people or crowds of people. Drones carrying cameras and weighing at least 100 grams are also required to have a flyer ID. A remote ID ID is also required to transmit the drone's identification and its location while airborne. The new regulations apply to drone use by hobbyists as well as professionals. The class based regulations do not apply to drones purchased before the first before the first of this year. They will instead operate under the weight based rules. For specific rules visit CAA.co.uk Crown W6 RHC Repeater Check 2.

Speaker B: W7X Ray Zulu and the net. This is John up in Oroville. K6HFP. Well for me I feel like the club had a pretty productive week this week with our club meeting this past Friday. We actually had a club meeting for January this year so I thought that was decent. We had some transfer of executive positions that was good. We have a new treasurer. Shout out to Bennett for being our club treasurer for eight, eight terms there. So he put in some decent time as the club treasurer and pass it on to Joe nibd. So shout out to those two guys because need a treasurer. So definitely thanks for that. Working on some position changes for our president and vice president. Those positions are staying the same for now but more to come on that subject matter repeater move project. I'm sure Jim will give us an update on that. It's moving along but slight hiccup currently right now. I'm sure he'll give some details on
Speaker A: that but other than that
Speaker B: hope everybody has a good week. I won't ramble anymore and hope everybody has a good night as well. So I'll pass it over to Lance, see what he's up to. Kilo, Charlie, Six, Fox, Boom, Bravo, this is K6HFP. Appreciate this. KC6FLB, Lance and Oroville. Yeah, I have to admit that the Friday meeting was pretty productive. Even had a little training session there. Some good information, some things that do in the future either for the newbies and some things to do for those that are upgrading. So I'm really looking forward to you know, studying up for this test. I don't know how good I'm going to do but you know, put my 2 cents worth in. Sit down and just do it, win or lose it. Still, at least I made the effort. Weather's been good, a little cold at night time. Never had a problem with cold because
Speaker A: I got money for
Speaker B: Anyway, we said pretty much what we said what we needed to say on our Zoom meeting. So I'm going to hand it over to KB9MYF.
Speaker C: Kb9myf and not a whole lot going on. I changed the rear speakers in my car because one of them was damaged when I put stuff in the trunk and damaged the wiring in the back of the speakers. So I replaced the pair of speakers and I'm also putting a new car stereo in. Maybe tomorrow or the next day. An Android stereo with the with all the goodies, the navigation and all that. Other than that, nothing else was going on. This is KB9 my F and I think that Gary is after me.
Speaker B: This is KF6EWO Gary and Orville. I work Thursday and Friday and glad the rain's over but now I got a jungle in front of the house and behind the house to get mowed down while the weather is nice. Even barbecued dinner tonight so that was good. Not much else going on. Just trying to stay out of trouble. Been playing around with antenna ideas. So with that I'll pass it over to W7X player Zulu, KF6CWO.
Speaker A: KF6 CWO and the net W7X Ray Zulu. Okay Gary and well let's see. We pretty well covered that we have organized a work party there to get our club repeater antenna system up hopefully on Tuesday. It's presently on hold there until we hear more from our host up there at the site. And anyway the other really big thing club wise is put it out here. While we have a pretty good coverage area we will have a volunteer examiner session thanks to W6PNH which will be taking place in Oroville at our usual meeting venue on March 13 and starting somewhere around 6pm or possibly a little bit earlier and new licensees or present licensees seeking upgrade are cordially invited to come to the venue at that time. Anyway, that's about all I have here and I'll put out the call here. Are there any additional check ins to the net this W7X rays? Nothing heard. I'll run it back up the line here. Does any station have any additional comments for the net? This does. W7X rays W E6A X N repeater. Well I heard one ker chunk of modulation there. Any additional comments than that? This W7XZ well I guess my cat
Speaker C: manages to push the button and turn the meow into the microphone. KB9MYS
Speaker A: okay I thought it might have sounded like a meow. Anyway thanks for letting me know Jeff. Kind of sounds like maybe we got it done here tonight so so I will put out a last call for any late check ins or any unfinished business before we close the net and try 10 meters W7X Ray Zulu.

I don't know if you have a phone number form or anything like that, but wondering if you do, you could give him a call.
Speaker B: Yeah, I sent him a note while we were on the zoom earlier, so he should be notified. Okay, most
Speaker A: appreciated. Anyway, hopefully I'll have some word well before this time tomorrow night and promulgated as much as I can here whether it's a go or no go.
Speaker B: All right? Yep, copy that. Copy that. I'm on the same page with you. Just keep me posted when you when you know and we'll go from there then.

Speaker B: We6a x n receiver. Wa1ner.
Speaker A: Out here on Highway 99. Just going for a drive.
Speaker B: That's a 99. Where?
Speaker A: Just went past Lomo Crossing, heading back into town. Just went for a little drive, just up the road. While I was still trying to get this evap system to set.
Speaker B: Say again? I had to turn my TV down.
Speaker A: I said. I just went up to the board's live oak. I'm still trying to get this evap system to reset.
Speaker B: Nothing better to do but go out for a drive. This late at night, huh?
Speaker A: Pretty much.
Speaker B: You all alone?
Speaker A: No. Apollo's in here, too.
Speaker B: She is there.
Speaker A: Okay.
Speaker B: I was just sitting here watching a little tv and. Well, I was watching American Idol and they had nobody, not one. I don't know what's the matter with this program. Nobody could hold a tune. Have you ever seen that program?
Speaker A: Yeah, I've seen that. When they're testing people out, getting ready to bring them on to American Idol, they show a lot of that.
Speaker B: First time I've seen that one. That's just plain mean.
Speaker A: So what's Shirley doing?
Speaker B: She's in there next to her phone or watching TV or something. I don't know what she did. She. She's in there doing something. TV or. Are you going to bed anytime soon? Well, I am actually in bed. Why? What's up?
Speaker A: Nothing. Just. Paula was asking. She was wondering how late you're gonna
Speaker B: stay up, so I'm just liable to just crash anytime. All right. Now that I'm looking up at the clock, I'm about ready to turn it in. Yep.
Speaker A: Well, I'll be getting home here a little bit, and I'm gonna do the same. Paula's wondering what you're doing tomorrow.
Speaker B: Hoping my. My yard guy comes tomorrow. I hope.
Speaker A: When's the last time he was there?
Speaker B: Told me the. The last time he was here that he was going to go to Mexico for a week.
Speaker A: But
Speaker B: I hope he gets. I hope he makes it back. I hope they let him back in the country.
Speaker A: Yeah. Hopefully he makes it back pretty quick if he's.
Speaker B: I have no. No plans for tomorrow.
Speaker A: Yep. I don't have any plans either, other than maybe might have to drive this truck some more tomorrow.
Speaker B: What. What. What do you think you got to do to make that thing turn over?
Speaker A: Well, I had a full tank of gas in here, so I know the evap system won't really check it or reset itself. It's got to be between, like, I think, three, eight of a tank up to Three quarters a tank of fuel. So hopefully we'll have ran enough gas out of this for it to work.
Speaker B: That's the evap. That's. That has to do with the gasoline for the gas tank, huh? Yeah,
Speaker A: it checks all those little vacuum lines and all that stuff.
Speaker B: What can they do with that if it doesn't run out?
Speaker A: Not following you. You mean if it doesn't reset or set.
Speaker B: If it doesn't reset, what do they do?
Speaker A: Well, then if it doesn't reset, I'll get a code on my truck or a check engine light and then at that point I'll have to figure out what has to be fixed or repaired.
Speaker B: Now where do you start with that?
Speaker A: Probably a smoke test. But there shouldn't be an issue with it because I've had no issues the last six years with it smogging and I've not had any check engine lights.
Speaker B: The problem with that, so far you took it out what, three nights already?
Speaker A: It's been more than that. I'm at 112 miles that I've driven it. And again, it doesn't work unless all the special little parameters are met. For it to run through its cycle, It's got to go through, you know, the drive cycle where it warms up for four minutes. And then you have to drive it for like 15 or 20 minutes at a certain speed. Have to let the vehicle kind of coast down to 20 mph without hitting the brake. So you gotta, you gotta follow all these little steps. At some point it has to go through the drive cycle and I. It, you know, is messed up. It will kick on that check Engine light.
Speaker B: Take 24 hours to do that.
Speaker A: Hopefully not. I know I said you have to go through those drive cycles and it may take one or two, three, four
Speaker B: drive cycles for go through that process. Okay. Okay. I gotta get everything just right. I guess. Never dealt with that. So I, I've never had any experience with.
Speaker A: Well, I guess the best thing to do is not let your battery go dead on your truck.
Speaker B: I've been let. I've been doing that too. And matter of fact, I went out there today, I charged it up a couple days ago,
Speaker A: and then I decided,
Speaker B: well, I better get out there and
Speaker A: fire that thing up and let it
Speaker B: run for a while and do that every, every so often.
Speaker A: Yeah. Need to drive it around.
Speaker B: Yeah. Need to do something.
Speaker A: Paula wants to know how come you haven't been driving it around to work if it just sits there keyed with you. Paula wants to know how come you haven't been driving around,
Speaker B: nowhere to go.
Speaker A: I guess you can just get up and go.
Speaker B: Go for a drive. Yeah, I guess so. Guess I might just have to do.
Speaker A: Paula said pretend like you're going to work and back.
Speaker B: We said AXN receiver bring back old memories real quick. Yeah, it would. WA1 R E N B A1 NER
Speaker A: Apollo's had to pick another job and drive to a different one every day. You said you can drive over there and sit in the parking lot and think about what it would be like to go to work.
Speaker B: You know, I haven't really forgotten yet. Every time I do go up that way, it comes back real quick. It reminds me I remember a whole lot.
Speaker A: Yep. Well, we just are getting pulled up here at the house right now, so I guess I'll go ahead and let you get to bed. Hopefully you'll get some sleep.
Speaker B: I gotta. I gotta just decide when I'm gonna turn this radio off. And I don't turn the radio off. Turn the TV off and hit the rack. Well, I'm in the rack. I just gotta get busy and turn it off so I get a night's sleep. Quit sleeping until noon.
Speaker A: Yeah, I know. I've been doing that lately myself. I gotta get used to getting back up and going to work.
Speaker B: Got that right. Okay, I'll let you go. Good night. See you later, Paula. Hi, Paula. See you later.
Speaker A: She said hi and bye and have a good night and I'll talk to you tomorrow. Probably. WA1RE and clear. Have a good night.

Speaker A: Negative. Negative. We're down to. Oh, I don't know, I think 79 days. Awesome. Check that when we get to work. Okay.

Speaker A: Another cold day. Yeah.
Speaker B: Well, what's good going on in your life? Is there anything, anywhere, anytime? Like, you know, you're collecting fountain pens and you found a really good one. Something like that.
Speaker A: Yeah. No. I don't know. I'm just going day to day and nothing spectacular is happening. And just living, just living day to day.
Speaker B: Oh, hey, I'm down with that. But the economy. Oh, my God, really? I'm starting to feel it. And pge, we get letters from PG and E. Your neighbors are in compliance with the allotment for gas but you're using a thousand percent more than your neighbors.
Speaker A: Give it a rest. Yeah,
Speaker B: yeah.
Speaker A: I just. I look at those. You know, the trend is that it's basically no difference as far as I'm concerned. Yes, I use a little bit more than some people. Yes, I lose less than other people. And it pretty much stayed that way for months.
Speaker B: Well, in our lives, I've worked.
Speaker A: Right.
Speaker B: Paid into the system, really. It gets cold and, you know, it hurts. Especially as you get up to your twilight years.
Speaker A: You know, like, your feet get cold, your hands.
Speaker B: And there's a thermostat right there. All you have to do is just click that little thing over, like,
Speaker A: oh, Yeah, yeah, I get that. My wife's starting to get on me because, you know, our bills are getting more and more expensive. And I'm sitting there thinking that, you know, we're paying about the same that we did about 20 years ago. So, you know, before I replaced my. My furnace we were starting to creep up and then it went down. Now it's back up to what it was about 20 years ago. So, yes, it's still relatively expensive but in. In the overall scheme of things, it hasn't changed a lot.
Speaker B: Yeah, I guess you. The nature of life. I remember this guy had a bumper sticker. Manhood a struggle. No, youth a blunder. Manhood a struggle. Old Age of regret. I'm going, well, wait a minute.
Speaker A: Whatever happened?
Speaker B: The idea of having a good life and, you know, enjoying the bounty of goodness.
Speaker A: Well, I guess I Don't think too much about that stuff. So, yeah, you know, I was trying to figure out what the inflation rate is then, trying to remember what things were 20 years ago versus versus now. So I could kind of figure out, you know, because it certainly seems like over the past couple of years, prices have just skyrocketed. I mean, I look at meat, and beef is about. Kind of, on an average, about $10 a pound. Holy cow.
Speaker B: Yeah, holy cow is right. You know, grain prices and all like that. You know, farmers actually are really griping it. They're in a hard spot.
Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker B: This is kind of.
Speaker A: I'm driving up and I'm looking at a gas station, and, you know, those prices have been volatile. They're always going up and down and up and down and up and down. And my wife sometimes goes down to this one convenience market, and it's got a Chevron gas station associated with it. And sometimes she fills up down there, and I. Every time, time she tells me that, I, it's. I just cringe, you know, and she's like, what? They're not more expensive? Like, they're about a dollar more per gallon than anybody else, and, oh, no, they're not. I'm sitting here thinking, am I stupid? I. You know, I've seen those prices and other prices around the area, and I. I think I can tell the difference between the prices. So it just. It's just bothers me that she's not. She doesn't.
Speaker B: Long as I got you on the horn here, I'll tell you what bothers me. Summertime air conditioners running full blast and the doors are wide open. Oh, well, the cat went out. Oh, there's somebody at the door. Oh, I just went outside for a minute. Hello?
Speaker A: Yeah. Well, I think I got myself a good parking spot. I'm coming up and we have some solar panels out in front of the building, and those spots are normally taken up, but I got one that. So I can park and have shade all day long.
Speaker B: Yeah, can't beat that. Yeah. All right, Chris, Have a good time if you can at work. 73. Good luck in the contest. Actually, you know, it's kind of fun talking to you for a few minutes in the morning. It reminds me of the ham radio of camaraderie. Everybody loves each other and six side of our work.
Speaker A: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Well, have a great day yourself, and we'll talk to you later. 73 KK6VZD clear.

Yeah, but I can put it in the house. And we're not RVing. 150 inch screen.

Speaker A: Even the more expensive ones are only 2400. The 4010 and the 50. 50. That's their big one. $3,000 and twenty three hundred dollars and 3,000 lumens for the. For that 3,800. I'm still. I'm still looking them over. Trevor did like the Epson models. You can get a nice one, right. About a thousand bucks. The 2354 K Pro. But I don't like the idea of needing two remotes, and nobody seems to like the apps. So that that 3800 has one control, and it operates just. Just about everything. I think it still has a manual focus in that, but not that big a deal. Once you're set up, you're
Speaker B: set. Yeah.
Speaker A: Yep. Might as well go with the full. As big as it can do, which I think is 150 inches.

Yeah, you can make it come out of. You got to have some room in the floor, though.

Speaker A: I'd have to make some quick measurements, but I don't mind bolting it to the ceiling in the house
Speaker B: and letting it drop down. That'd be all right with me. Well,
Speaker A: we're pretty high on the ceilings. The thing is, is in the pantry, there's just that one wall. And the projector could sit in there on top of the cabinet and. And shoot right toward the opposite wall. What, about 8, 18ft or something across the living room?

I'm going to wait till Trevor gets a good look at it. He's been staying up on it over the years, does 3D and all that stuff.

Not gonna. I'm not gonna set up for the house at this point, but I'd be able to. And you wouldn't want to leave something like that in an RV over the winter or something like that if you'd want to bring it in the house anyway. So. Yeah, I'm pretty happy with that 85 inch TV we have. And there's plenty big. Really don't need anything bigger. But it, it might be nice to have something that folds out of the ceiling that even gives you. Everybody's ranting and raving about the 4K quality.

Speaker A: To tell a close. I was pretty impressed
Speaker B: and I don't even know how much he spent. It was just a small projector, it was a portable one and, and we were outdoors and he probably had at least a, at least an 80 inch diagonal pull down screen and the picture looked pretty damn good. But it was nighttime. These couple that I'm looking at here, the 2350, which I don't like to control the remotes they'll play during the day.

Speaker A: They're. They're boasting 6 and 8k here in. In short, that's the next the big step.
Speaker B: Supposed to be out in 20. I'm gonna go look at the view Sonics, but I don't think you're gonna beat the Epsons. Maybe I should look at the best of first.

Yeah, I wouldn't get it from him, but I'd like to go there and look at. You know, I'm limited for space for the actual projector. 17 inches. And by 17 inches, I looked at that bigger one. It was 20 inches by 16 inches, something like that. But they had too many drawbacks on the bigger units that the big in size. You know, they got projection screens now that are less than 15 inches from the screen. They put it on the. Where your sound bar is and it beams right up into the screen. Pretty weird. Not interested in that either. It's got to be able to fit on that shelf above the bed or up in one of those cabinets.

That. That solder sucker is pretty powerful.

Good thing. Good thing jay was on 2 meters, so let me know. Otherwise I might have bored you guys with a long key up.

I wish they would have put a nice case, sent it with a nice plastic or whatever case to put the sucker in the. In the stand. Yeah, maybe I'll. Maybe next time I'm down at Harbor Freight, I'll look at their little vacuum boxes and cut out my own foam. I'm pretty good at that. That way everything stays nice and Newey.

Yeah, I charged mine right away.

Speaker A: Did you open your sponge package? I wish they would have put two drawers
Speaker B: in there so you could put a sponge in with the tip. That would have been nice. And. And now I know what those little rubber tips are for. Those are for the solder sucker,
Speaker A: so you don't booger up your sucker. Yeah, it is a decent little box, but
Speaker B: everything rolls around by dumping on each other. I'm gonna get me one of those cases. They make some pretty small ones. I got my 259B in one. That's about the right size.

All right, now I'm going to go look at an MN V11 screen. They offer several different sizes. Then I got to get down and measure a RV so I can outfit correctly. I'm going to get the screen right away. I'm going to wait on the, wait on the projector, see what that Trevor's take is. And yeah, he's around. He's a good reviewer. He can. Or he'll, he'll. He'll go ask questions about when the 6 and 8k stuff is due to come out. Of course, I wouldn't buy any of those right away either. I'm pretty sure. I'm sure the this deal at 4k is, is probably going to be good enough. Does the house smell good? We got a fresh loaf of sourdough coming out.

Well, the pull down screens are pretty reasonable. So reasonable I'd be afraid that they're cheaply made.

For about 50 bucks more, you can get an electric remote control drop down.

Wondering, do you need a special screen for 3D? Not that I'm a big 3D fan, anyway.

Speaker A: Yeah. Let somebody with some poop take over. I've been hearing you just fine the whole time. Good to Hear you Dennis. And
Speaker B: 6 NTM.
Speaker A: I didn't want to interrupt. Let. Let Jay have some radio time. Yeah. Fintech. Yeah that's the name of these. It's a relatively new company or Fantic F A N T T I K. Talk about a high quality quality solder pencil. No cords. Or you can run it plugged in but you don't need to. It's got a real nice temperature setting control. Yeah. And you could turn it on with your with your index finger and let it cool down between uses so that you don't burn up the tip. It is an isolated tip D.C. it wouldn't matter. So you can do chips with it. Really nice. Comes with a beautiful artistic stand and soldering sponges. Yep, pretty damn nice. I've bought three other besides the soldering gun fan kick products. I'm real impressed with that company. High quality. So what the heck you going after some more wood or what you doing?

Yeah. Makes it nice. Lightweight. Yeah, that's something they didn't put on here. Or something to tie it off in case you drop it. You know what a pain and how embarrassing is when you drop something and you're the only one up there.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Well, you know what they look like, so it probably isn't.

Well, you know, they've been using the same older style equipment because it works for a bunch of years and, and they're probably starting to run out of the older stuff, so you're probably seeing some of the new and upcoming equipment.

Speaker A: Really? Yeah. You know, I was
Speaker B: watching a show the other day. I forget the guy's name, but he's the one that shot bin Laden in the head three times when they killed him. And he was saying that they flew in helicopters and they went to a place that he can't say, but it's in Arizona, so you know where that's at. And the helicopter made no noise when it was running, except for the only sound it makes is the chop of the. Of the blades turning. And he said he never believed in UFOs before, but he does now.

Speaker A: Yeah. Gives us hope. Are you hearing them good now, Jay? Yeah. I'm not sure
Speaker B: what's going on with Jays. We got the same antenna and we got the same radio, 100 watts. And I don't know what breaks up the areas he can talk to. He's actually, his house is a little higher than ours, but I'm up 100 foot tree, so that's given me some advantage. All right, Jay Dennis, I'd sit here and bull poop with you until the sun goes down. You know, it is good hearing you. And I'm going to turn you back over to Jake because I was just heading out the door when I hear heard your valonious voice. So good morning to you. Be careful. Don't get no spider bites. N6 NTM we're going out.

Speaker B: Yeah, that's all. I'm just trying to figure out if we needed a forward for that other one or if we don't. I don't think we did in the past. Yeah,
Speaker A: that'll work just fine. Well, just quick answer. The sites, we don't need
Speaker B: to
Speaker A: connect inbound into the site. The sites. We're just relying on the sites to connect outbound to the main hub. So the only port that we would need to be opened up is the 8. Like in this case, 8, 7, 5, 3. That would need to be opened up. So we can actually keep them on.
Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Okay. That was kind of what I thought. In other related news, I've got a couple of
Speaker A: clues
Speaker B: on connecting serial ports. So I'll get back to you on that if I've got something positive. So I'm trying a couple things at home.
