Women's Health Fair in La Morita, Baja California
We can use a little help from the amateur radio community this Saturday, March 5.
Casa San Eugenio will be holding a free health clinic in the La Morita settlement, east of Tijuana, Saturday morning. "Flying Samaritan" volunteers from Tijuana, Carlsbad, Camp Pendleton, and the Orange County/L.A. area will be assisting the handful of local physicians.
There are only a couple of HAMs involved in this project and we would like to monitor/coordinate the travel of the volunteers from El Florido to La Morita as well as possible. The road is a difficult dirt trail that takes many turns and it is easy for newcomers to become disoriented, or mired in mud.
Mexican HAM operators are needed to assist at the health clinic. It would be great to have Mexican operators at the Casa San Eugenio dispensary, as well as at the beginning of the road into La Morita from the paved road. Any assistance by norteamericano operators in the States would be appreciated.
There are roughly 50 American volunteers who will be crossing the border Friday night and Saturday to help us at La Morita. A capability to pass health and welfare/logistic traffic to the San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles regions, as well as between La Morita/El Florido/ and Tijuana is required. Email me at patrick_mullen @ yahoo dot com, or post at comment on this Weblog, if you can help out.

"The FCC has no established procedure for measuring this radiation"
"Dear (San Diego) Union Tribune,
I am so thrilled to see your great endorsement of Broadband over Power Line(BPL) yesterday. It just further enforces my long standing belief that the UT never investigates anything anymore but just re-writes peoples press releases and prints them as fact. Especially those from SDG$E like this"Editorial" and the recent errored report of the "first" wind power farm in the back country. Consider the following.
How do you figure that our SDG$E, who is one of the highest priced power producers in the USA, is going to provide competitive pricing in broadband, an industry they know nothing about?
Do you really think they are going to invest the equipment dollars required to bring BPL to the back country? BPL is not free to implement. Cable and DSL are not in the back country because it has no economic payback for them. Unless it's 100% subsided by the rate payer what is SDG$E going to do different?
This is an old, obsolete technology. When I was in (the) industry 30 years ago BPL was going to solve all our communications problems. 30 years later they are still running "trials". Unless you assume the people responsible for making BPL work are stupid you must believe it doesn't work well.
Finally, BPL is a brute force technology that generates massive amounts of RF interference. Not only does it destroy Amateur Radio, short wave, and broadcast reception blocks from the BPL devices but it also can and has strongly interfered with military and Department of Homeland Security HF networks.
What is the "real" answer to wide range, high speed wireless? Third generation cellular and wireless. It's here, more is rolling out now andwill be in place competitively long before BPL finishes its trials.
On the off chance you want to do a real report on BPL I have included the recent Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL) article below. It contains links to further information on the thus far, failed attempts by the power industry to implement BPL. There is also a primer on BPL at http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/HTML/plc/
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From the ARRL:==>ARRL TELLS FCC TO "RECONSIDER, RESCIND AND RESTUDY" BPL ORDER
The ARRL has petitioned the FCC to take its broadband over power line (BPL)Report and Order (R&O) back to the drawing board. In a Petition forReconsideration filed February 7, the League called on the Commission to"reconsider, rescind and restudy" its October 14, 2004, adoption of new Part15 rules spelling out how BPL providers may deploy the technology on HF andlow-VHF frequencies. Asserting that the R&O fails to adequately take intoaccount the technology's potential to interfere with Amateur Radio and otherlicensed services, the League called the FCC's action to permit BPL "a grosspolicy mistake." The R&O, the ARRL said, "represents a classic case ofprejudgment" by an FCC that knew better but ignored evidence already at itsdisposal.
"It is readily apparent that the Commission long ago made up its mind thatit was going to permit BPL without substantial regulation, no matter whatthe effect of this flawed application of old technology is on licensed radioservices," the League's petition declares. The ARRL accuses FCC CommissionerMichael Powell and his four colleagues of deliberately authorizing "a spectrum pollution source" that's proven to be incompatible with existinglicensed uses of the HF spectrum.
"The Commission wanted nothing to contradict its enthusiasm about BPL," the League said, and its Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) saw to itthat evidence of the "fundamental incompatibility" between BPL and incumbent HF radio services "was suppressed, ignored or discredited." The FCC has not adjudicated a single interference complaint, the ARRL added, but has swept interference complaints under the rug.
While expressing appreciation for Commissioner Michael Copps' concernsregarding BPL's potential to interfere with Amateur Radio and his call forquick complaint resolution, the League said his admonition "has not beenheeded by either the Enforcement Bureau or the Office of Engineering andTechnology."
In the filing, which included several technical exhibits to bolster its major points, the ARRL further argued that Powell--a self-described"cheerleader" for the technology--the ARRL further argued that Powell should have recused himself from voting on the R&O. The chairman, the ARRL says,violated the FCC's own ex parte rules by attending a BPL provider's demonstration October 12, after release of the October 14 agenda. Powell "tainted this proceeding" by taking part in the demonstration, and that alone is sufficient to have the Commission vacate and reconsider its action,the ARRL alleged.
The League also said the FCC's "late and incomplete" responses to ARRL's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests fail to show any support forFCC's conclusions regarding interference to licensed services from BPL. The highly redacted information release contained nothing that supports theFCC's conclusions about BPL's interference potential and suppressed negative recommendations from its own technical investigators, the petition says. As a result, the League said, the Commission "failed to conduct impartial, reasoned rulemaking."
The Commission used an unlawful "balancing test" that weighed BPL'spurported benefits against its interference to licensed services, the League asserts, creating "a hierarchy of licensed radio services" based upon "how much interference each service deserves." The Communications Act, the League's petition points out, requires an objective determination from the outset that the likelihood of harmful interference from a proposed unlicensed service is virtually nil.
The interference mitigation rules in the R&O are both ineffective andinequitably applied, the ARRL's petition further argues. Noting the new rules do not require BPL systems to shut down in the event of interference except as "a last resort," the League said the practical effect is "that systems will never have to shut down," even if the BPL operator has not been able to remedy ongoing harmful interference to the Amateur Service. The newrules, the petition charges, accord priority to unlicensed BPL, "regardlessof the preclusive effect" or the duration of interference.
In its unanimous BPL decision, the Commission, the League says, has abandoned its fundamental obligation to avoid interference in telecommunication systems, instead requiring complainants to initiate contact with BPL providers and "beg for resolution." The ARRL petition also faults the Commission's adopted measurement standards.

==>BPL LEGAL WRANGLES CONTINUE IN AUSTRIAN CITY
Local telecommunication authorities in Austria have sent a "first-step"legal notice to Linz Strom GmbH (Linz Power), calling on the utility to"take necessary technical measures" to operate its "Speed-Web" broadband over power line (BPL) system so it doesn't cause interference to other telecommunication equipment. Joseph Ibinger, who heads the UpperAustria-Salzburg field office for the Federal Ministry for Commerce,Innovation and Technology (BMVIT), told Linz Power in late December that interference mentioned in complaints is definitely coming from the utility's BPL system. From the time the BPL installation was a pilot project, radio amateurs have been among the most vocal in expressing their displeasure,blaming BPL for causing excessive interference on HF bands throughout theCity of Linz. The Austrian Amateur Transmitter Federation (ÖsterreichischerVersuchssenderverband--ÖVSV), Austria's International Amateur Radio Union(IARU) member-society, praised the action, which the utility is very likely to appeal.
"The Austrian Amateur Radio Society applauds this decision of local authorities and notes that radio users have repeatedly indicated the problem of unwanted radiation from unshielded mains wiring," said ÖVSV PresidentMichael Zwingl, OE3MZC. "The recent decision will be an example for authorities in other European countries facing similar problems in BPL trials."
In October 2003, Linz Power received a similar letter from local telecommunications authorities asking the utility to "remove the illegal interference" on the HF bands generated by the utility's BPL then-pilot project. As a result, Zwingl says, the utility took legal action against ÖVSV.
Assuming an appeal by Linz Power, the BMVIT must move Ibinger's initial response--essentially the equivalent of a warning notice or citation--up tothe next level, and it could take up to six months to resolve the matter. Zwingl says if the federal authorities affirm the local decision, they could prohibit operation of the BPL system. As it now stands, the utility was given a month to resolve the interference.
Zwingl said ÖVSV has been unable to obtain a copy of the actual decision andwas only able to obtain details of the document in January by working through a "peoples' lawyer," essentially a legal ombudsman who runs interference between the Austrian federal government and citizens.
According to legal ombudsman Peter Kostelka's report to Zwingl, the telecommunication authorities cited Linz Power's use of unshielded wiring totransport data signals, resulting in constant emissions that interfere with short wave bands as "an undesirable byproduct" of the system.
The Linz Power BPL system boasts upward of 4000 "satisfied customers" out of the 40,000 in its service area. It offers its basic service for €24 a month; a faster version goes for €42 a month, both less installation charges. Speed-Web uses Main.net BPL technology.
Zwingl said the recent official decree followed "some years of complaints and investigations" into the Linz Power BPL project.
"We put pressure on officials to not just take measurements but also to react by all legal means," he said. "It took us some time, but we never agreed with the opinion of some authorities who have made a judgment between the importance of ham radio and BPL." Zwingl maintains that Austria's telecommunication rules conform with International Telecommunication Union(ITU) regulations and "protect radio services and spectrum regardless of subjective importance."
Linz Power Executive Josef Heizinger reportedly reacted calmly to the field office decision. "We are absolutely in the right, legally, and will continuethe BPL development according to plan," he's quoted in the media. In another interview, Heizinger declared that "simultaneous problem-free operation ofBPL and Amateur Radio equipment is possible," and he blamed a small group of dissident radio amateurs for trying to discredit "this innovative ande conomical technology."
Linz Strom blames the few radio interference problems its system has caused on "defective equipment," and says it's resolved those cases promptly.
ÖVSV continues to insist that in its current form BPL--also known inGerman-speaking countries as "Internet from the Electrical Outlet"--is incompatible with HF reception.

As of March 20, 2003, BPL (Broadband over powerline) was in one million US homes.
I found an interesting comment from the March 20, 2003, CITI Powerline III conference held at Columbia University, New York, NY*
"At issue is unintentional radiation created by the PLC signal as it travels over powerlines. PLC vendors have been vigilant about FCC Part 15 certification of all their equipment. As an industry, PLC has held that existing Part 15 standards are sufficient to regulate any interference that may be caused. But Alan Scrime, Chief of the Policy and Rules Division at OET, posed this question:
If you are doing everything right, and existing regulations are sufficient, why am I up here asking you questions?
Brett Kilbourne, Director of Regulatory Services for UPLC, had the answer:
Because there are incumbent users [of that spectrum] that you have a duty to protect.
In the PLC band of spectrum, there are established broadcast uses, including amateur radio and military applications such as radar, with which unregulated wireline services such as PLC may not interfere. And while Part 15 explicitly sets limits for point sources of radiation such as pieces of equipment, it does not address interference caused by a network of overhead or underground wires.
Speaking with Alan Scrime after the presentation, he made it clear that the FCC does not know of any PLC interference problems, has no wish to obstruct the growth of the industry. Yet, there is no denying that the heterogeneity of the power network makes it possible that some lines will unintentionally radiate the PLC signal, the cumulative effect of which is unknown. The FCC has no established procedure for measuring this radiation, and no limits to protect incumbent spectrum users. For months, said Alan, PLC vendors and organizations have promised to set up testing sites and report measurements. It has not happened, and with the industry progressing toward commercial deployment the FCC felt compelled to act. The proceeding is expected to begin this month, but has not yet been announced."

Road conditions in Tijuana & Rosarito
Wind, rain, and thunderstorms have created flooding and muddy road conditions in the Tijuana/Rosarito area. Hwy 1 (Bulevar Internacional) between the Hwy 2 intersection and Zona Rio was reported to be closed Tuesday. Also, the San Ysidro access ramp near Calle Benito Juárez and Avenida Ocampo is impassible due to flooding.
The suggested route to San Ysidro from Playas de Tijuana is to follow C. Benito Juárez to Revolución and access the Tijuana river crossing via fourth street (C. Salvador Díaz Miron) or C. Independencia.
Weather conditions continue to cause electrical, telephone, cellular and internet outages. Anyone required to travel in this area at this time is cautioned to make appropriate preparations.
The 2-meter repeater in Rosarito is off the air until user support can be organized and implemented.

Boating off the California Coast
In response to questions received from boaters requesting information regarding the impoundment of an American vessel in Ensenada because it lacked a Mexican license for the shipboard marine band radio, an individual who is active in the region's maritime industry sent me the following comments:
"We all realize that coastal security is receiving a higher priority these days. There's no new campaign to check whether or not all yachts are carrying a Mexican VHF license. Most recreational and commercial boaters realize that when they are routinely boarded by either Mexican Navy or US Coast Guard, whether on the high seas or during normal port clearance procedures, the boat is inspected for a long list of compliance items - from whether the ship's bell is mounted and gongs properly to whether everyone onboard has a valid passport. It's the boarding officer's discretion whether or not to pursue any of the minor infractions that almost every boat has. If he or she finds something suspicious on first glance, the lack of a VHF license may be the small charge that brings the vessel into port for further physical inspection while the vessel's paperwork trail is being checked internationally."

Enrique Salinas de Gortari fue asesinado
Enrique Salinas de Gortari murdered - Officials opine that revenge not the main motive
EFE
"México, 6 dic (EFE).- Enrique Salinas de Gortari, hermano menor del ex presidente de México Carlos Salinas, murió asesinado por asfixia con una bolsa de plástico, informó el procurador de justicia del Estado de México.
El procurador del Estado de México, Alejandro Navarrete Prida, confirmó en una rueda de prensa la muerte violenta del menor de los tres hermanos Salinas y dijo que hay pistas sólidas que podrían conducir a la solución del caso.
"Enrique Salinas de Gortari falleció por asfixia por sofocación en su modalidad de obstrucción de vías respiratorias altas", dijo el fiscal, quien atajó así algunas versiones sobre una posible muerte de varios disparos.
El cadáver de Salinas fue encontrado la mañana de este lunes por policías locales del municipio de Huixquilucan, aledaño al Distrito Federal, en un vehículo Volkswagen Passat gris, con matrícula del estado de Morelos, que se encontraba en el barrio de Lomas de Anáhuac de esa localidad.
"No hay disparos, no hay elementos que permitan señalar que hubo una tortura en términos formales. Presenta algunos hematomas nada más el cadáver, y en los codos", añadió el funcionario.
El cuerpo del menor de los Salinas yacía en el asiento delantero derecho "con una bolsa de plástico cubriéndole la cabeza", dijo Navarrete.
El fiscal señaló que la Procuraduría de Justicia del Estado de México "continúa con las investigaciones" y cuenta con varias pistas sólidas en el caso.
Navarrete dijo que el móvil no está claro pero que por el momento "lo que hemos descartado (...) es el secuestro", las de índole política, y señaló que es posible que conociera a sus victimarios.
Para el fiscal, una muerte por asfixia "significa que la intención original no era provocarle la muerte sino generar una extorsión, obtener algún tipo de información".
Navarrete pidió "dejar que las investigaciones avancen" e indicó que la dependencia que dirige tiene "evidencia jurídica sólida que nos va a permitir tener una investigación muy ágil".
"La tasa de esclarecimiento de homicidios en el Estado de México es de las más altas del país. Tenemos una superior al 85 por ciento de homicidios dolosos, que es muy alto, y estoy cierto que en el caso tenemos evidencias suficientes para poder concluirlo satisfactoriamente en bien de la justicia", agregó.

Mexico City, December 16, 2004. The Prosecutor of the State of Mexico reported that Enrique Salinas de Gortari, the younger brother of the ex president of Mexico Carlos Salinas de Gotari, was murdered by asphyxiation with a plastic bag.
The State Attorney of Mexico, Alejandro Navarrete Prida, confirmed in a press conference the violent death of the younger of the three Salinas brothers, and said that there are solid clues that might lead to the solution of the case.
"Enrique Salinas de Gortari died of asphyxia in the form of obstruction of the upper airways", said the State Attorney, who considered some versions among several possible murder causes.
The body of Salinas was found this Monday morning in a gray Volkswagon Passat, with Morelos State registration, by local Municipal police, adjacent to the Federal District, in the Lomas de Anáhuac quarter of the township of Huixquilucan.
"There are no shots, there are no elements that allow to point out that there was a torture in formal terms. The corpse presents some haematomas, not at all more, and in the elbows ", added the official.
The body of the younger Salinas was lying in the front right seat " with a plastic bag covering the head ", said Navarrete.
The district attorney pointed out that the Attorney General of the State of Mexico " continues with the investigations " and possesses several solid tracks in the case.
Navarrete said that the motive is not clear but that for the time being " what we have discarded (...) it is kidnapping," of a political nature, and it pointed out that it is possible that he knew his attacker.
In the official's view, a death by asphixiation "shows the original intention was not to cause death, but to extort, to gain some type of information."
Navarrete asked " to allow that the investigations advance "and indicated that the directing office has "solid juridical evidence that is going to allow to have us a very quick investigation."
"The solution rate of murder cases in the State of Mexico is of the highest of the country. We have one superior to 85 per cent of aggravated homicides, which is very high, and I am sure that in this case we have sufficient evidence to be able to conclude it satisfactorily for the good of justice ", he added.

Four times this week someone has attempted to introduce a Trojan Horse into my computer. The latest one today was an Email attachment from "Postmaster" "Delivery Notification". My Norton Anti-Virus stopped all attempts.
You may want to post on your blog for folks to keep their anti-virus program updated.

Confirman yacimiento-Natural gas deposits confirmed
"El yacimiento de gas metano descubierto en la región alta del Golfo de California, en la zona conocida como “Depresión Wagner”, se considera uno de los más importantes en el mundo, porque puede generar hasta 145 millones de metros cúbicos por día.
El informe presentado ayer por el coordinador de asesores de la presidencia municipal, Alfredo Cañas Mendoza, destaca que el yacimiento se relaciona con procesos geológicos ocurridos hace millones de años.
La “Depresión Wagner” se localiza a unas 50 millas de las costas de Baja California, casi frente a las comunidades de San Felipe, Puertecitos y San Luis Gonzaga, estas dos últimas dentro de los límites del municipio de Ensenada.
Cañas Mendoza indicó que el doctor Nicolás Grijalva Reyes, investigador del Centro de Investigación Cientifica y Educación Superior de Ensenada (Ciese), encabezó dos cruceros de exploración en Golfo de California en el 2003.
El objectivo de los cruceros, abundó, fue identificar los gases que fueron observados en los que se realizaron entre julio y octubre de 1986, en las tareas de investigación se involucraron naves de la Armada de México."
