WEBINAR CELEBRATES INDIA'S WIRELESS PIONEER BOSE
PAUL/ANCHOR: Hams in India gathered recently to celebrate one of radio's
pioneers and to share his story. John Williams, VK4JJW, brings us that
report.
JOHN: Celebrated for his studies into transmitting and receiving on
radio's shortwave frequencies - and for his spirit of experimentation -
the pioneering Indian scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose was the focus of a
webinar held by the West Bengal Radio Club. The one-hour webinar took
place on November 30th but is now available for viewing on the club's
YouTube channel. The programme opens with a presentation by biophysicist
Gautam Basu who told attendees [quote] "He took a road that no one took
before and that is why we should remember him." [endquote] The scientist,
who died in 1937, was born in what is now Bangladesh. He is credited with
developments that eventually led to Guglielmo Marconi's creation of the
wireless receiver.

FCC NIXES HAM CLUB'S EDUCATIONAL FM CHANNEL PROPOSAL
PAUL/ANCHOR: A Seattle, Washington area amateur radio club had its
applications for noncommercial educational FM channels tossed out by the
FCC, which told the club there were too many technical defects in the
proposal. According to a Report in Radio World, the Fort Ward Amateur
Radio Club on Bainbridge Island had a number of issues that needed
addressing, including what the FCC cited as failure to comply with
interference treaty agreements between the US and Canada.
The FCC allows unsuccessful applicants to reapply with an amendment fixing
the issues, provided they do so within 30 days of the rejection.

POTA PLANNING TWO WINTER EVENTS
PAUL/ANCHOR: Parks chasers and activators are looking forward to two
winter events. With that report is Vance Martin, N3VEM.
VANCE: In Parks on the Air News: As the seasons start to change we at POTA
would like to remind you of two upcoming winter events. The first is the
Annual "New Beginnings / New Year's" certificate. To Earn one of these
certificates, simply make at least one contact as a POTA Activator or
Hunter, in the first week of 2022. We can't think of a better way to ring
in the New Year, than by doing so with Parks on the air. Also landing in
January is our next "Seasonal Support Your Parks Event." The first
seasonal event of 2022 is on January 15th and 16th, which gives you a
great opportunity to do some wintertime POTA. For those of you in the
north, just remember to dress warm, fire up your portable heaters if
you’re lucky enough to have them, and stay safe! Lastly, be sure to tune
in to your favorite ham radio media outlets in early January, as next
month’s POTA update will include not only the December release, but the
year-end summary for 2021 as well. We look forward to having you join us
as we celebrate a spectacular year of Parks on the Air.
This is November 3 Victor Echo Mike, with your Month Ending November 2021
Parks on the air Update. Be sure to visit parksontheair.com for
