Monitoring Service Coordinator Club Circular-NZART September-2009

Do you enjoy Amateur Radio or are you a keen Shortwave Listener?

Are you willing to contribute to the global amateur radio community? How? By simply doing what you enjoy best listening and reporting intruders, whilst you listen or communicate via the HF bands or even suspect a pirate on the VHF and UHF bands.

All you need to do is simply file a report on any potential intruders you hear:

* Frequency (in kHz) - Bandwidth

* Time (UTC)

* Day of the Month,

* Mode

* Country if you know

* Identification

* Bearing (if available)

* Remarks (calls if known, language, locations, names, sked times)

* An audio sample, if possible

How do I report an intruder?

Simply e-mail your report to: ms@nzart.org.nz or john.martin@nz1.ibm.com

Or

Send an e-mail to IntruderWatch@googlegroups.com, or even join the Australasian ham band intruder watch viaL
http://groups.google.com/group/IntruderWatch

If we are successful within the IARU Region 3 in confirming, detecting and evicting intruders from the HF bands, we will share this success with you all. We need to ensure the Amateur Radio bands are available for your enjoyment and especially during an emergency situation.
