HEDY LAMARR SPECIAL EVENT SHOWS STAR QUALITY

STEPHEN/ANCHOR: The late American actress Hedy Lamarr is apparently still 
a big star as far as the world's amateur radio operators are concerned. 
The sixth annual Hedy Lamarr Day Net, N9H, drew 190 check-ins from around 
the world. The special event was held on November 9th on Echolink on what 
would have been the actress' 107th birthday. Organizer John Derycke 
(duh-RYE-Key), W2JLD, called it the most successful Hedy Lamarr event to 
date. Hedy Lamarr was being celebrated for her on-screen talents but most 
especially for her role as co-inventor of a frequency hopping system that 
prevented jamming of radio signals to torpedos and now forms an important 
part of today's cell-phone and WiFi networks.

POPULAR DATV MAGAZINE ENDS PUBLICATION

STEPHEN/ANCHOR: The digital amateur TV magazine known as CQ-DATV, has 
published its final issue. Geri Goodrich, KF5KRN, has that story.

GERI: In a publishing lifetime that lasted for eight years with 100 
issues, the amateur television magazine CQ-DATV filled a gap left by the 
demise of two earlier ATV magazines and had been widely read among 
enthusiasts. That era has ended with the publication of its latest - and 
last - issue, released in October. The production team's Trevor Brown 
G8CJS writes in this 100th issue: [quote] "All good things must come to 
an end and CQ-DATV is no exception." [endquote] The digital-only 
publication reports that it received more than 500,000 downloads during 
its lifetime and was welcomed by readers who had lost "Der TV Amateur," 
published in Germany and "Repeater" published in the Netherlands. CQ-DATV 
credits Ian Pawson G0FCT who introduced the magazine in 2013 as a digital 
publication and served as its editor. The magazine, which also became 
available as a PDF edition, is making all of its 100 issues available for 
download. They can be obtained by visiting the link that appears in the 
text version of this week's newscast script on our website arnewsline.org

For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Geri Goodrich, KF5KRN.

IRELAND AND INDIA JOIN PARKS ON THE AIR

STEPHEN/ANCHOR: Portable radio enthusiasts are thrilled with the news 
that Parks on the Air has added two new countries. Here's Vance Martin,
N3VEM, with the latest.

VANCE: In Parks on the Air News, in October we welcomed Ireland and India 
to Parks on the Air! So please join me in saying dia duit and namaste to 
our newest POTA friends! October was another record-setting month, with 
an all-time high for both number of activators and number of QSOs, with 
1,630 activators making a combined 329,019 QSOs.

In our last news item for the month, POTA is excited to officially 
announce that for our 2022 summer plaque event, we will be adding several 
plaques for DX QSOs. There will be up to 6 DX plaques available, pending 
sponsorship - one each for the most QSOs made as an activator outside of 
the continental United States for IARU Regions 1, 2, and 3, and 1 each 
for hunters who make the most QSOs with activators in those same regions. 
If you or your organization is interested in sponsoring one of these new 
DX plaques in 2022, please send an email to n3vem@parksontheair.com for 
details.

This is November 3 Victor Echo Mike with your October Parks on the air 
Update. Be sure to visit parksontheair.com for information about the 
program, and pota.app for spotting, park information, leader boards, and 
more.
