From New Atlas:

New process converts unrecyclable glass into saleable product

Ben Coxworth
22 February 2019

Although glass is recyclable, the recycling process is generally
limited to large pieces that can be easily sorted by color.
Because it's not worth the effort to sort smaller fragments, they
tend to simply be discarded. A new process, however, can convert
them into a useful substance.

The proprietary technique was developed by PhD candidate Rhys
Pirie and Prof. Damien Batstone, both of Australia's University
of Queensland. It incorporates what is described as "a chemical
that most people would know as drain cleaner," which is used to
dissolve miscellaneous glass fragments into liquid silicate.

That liquid can subsequently be used in a wide variety of
products, such as tires, detergents, toothpaste, concrete sealant
and even crop fertilizer. It's also utilized to make silica gel,
which is the desiccant contained in little packets with
electronic devices. It cannot, however, be made into new glass on
a commercial scale.

Because glass consists of around 70 to 75 percent silica – which
is what gets converted to liquid silicate – the process results
in little waste. According to Pirie, approximately 1.3 kg (2.9
lb) of waste glass is required to make 1 kg of silica gel.

The technique also requires relatively little energy, unlike
traditional methods of producing liquid silicate. Partially
because of this, the researchers estimate that their process is
over 50 percent cheaper than existing production systems.

"At the moment these kinds of silicates [...] are generated
through a glass production route where you make glass effectively
and you then turn it into a silicate product that is a soluble
gel-type product," says Batstone. "Instead of doing that, we're
going to take glass that has already been made and is actually
waste, and take it through a much simpler process to turn it into
this commercial silicate product."

The university's commercialization company, UniQuest, is now
seeking partner companies that are interested in taking the
technology to market.

From Deutsche Welle:

OneWeb of 900 internet satellites in space

It's one planet, a mega-constellation of satellites, one web.
Like internet for everyone, anywhere. Sounds great. Right?

Zulfikar Abbany
26 February 2019

The idea is simple: Get everyone on the planet on the internet.
And there's a US-based company called OneWeb, which, along with
European aerospace firm Airbus, hopes to achieve just that. It's
not the first or even the only one to try it. But OneWeb is the
first to get so far.

After starting up seven years ago, the company is finally
starting to launch a fleet of about 900 satellites into a
low-Earth orbit. That's closer to Earth than most communications
satellites and one reason why the network might actually work,
with "better web performance," as the company puts it.

Low-Earth orbit (LEO) is typically up to an altitude of 1,000
kilometers (621 miles). For comparison, the International Space
Station orbits at about 400 km, while other satellites in LEO
tend to be for Earth observation and military purposes. Most
telecommunications satellites fly twice as high in medium
low-Earth orbit (MEO), or even higher at geostationary Earth
orbit (GEO).

Why bother?

Not that it's an impeccable source ... but allow me to quote Mark
Zuckerberg as played by Jesse Eisenberg in the 2010 movie "The
Social Network."

Zucker/Eisenberg says: "Let me tell you the difference between
Facebook and everybody else — We. Don't. Crash. Ever."

It's a simple line, and while perhaps not entirely true, it's one
that underscores the power of Facebook and the power of our
digital age as a whole.

We don't ever want to crash. Increasingly, we can't afford to
crash. We don't ever want to be offline. Because when we are
offline, we're lost. We've come to expect an "ubiquitous
internet" so we can stream films, order drugs like pizza, and
share selfies with Sumatran Tigers, or random acts of teenage
violence from any phone, anywhere.

But here's the thing: The internet is not everywhere.

There are huge plots of the globe where hopping online is a
dream, and patchy connectivity and total outages are the
nightmares of everyday life. In fact, in some cases, being
offline is worse than a nightmare — it's deadly. Think rescue
workers trying to locate survivors after earthquakes, and getting
information to those who need it, fast.
OneWeb lists the following use cases:

        Assured global communications in "sudden
        infrastructurerisis," hurricanes, earthquakes and refugee
        situations

        Low-latency broadband to "expand" in-flight connectivity

        Vehicle cell network for first responders

        Access to health centers, schools, libraries, and homes
        through a low cost user terminal, "ensuring relief to
        communities in need, tools to drive education, access to
        knowledge, and opportunities for local businesses"...

        And under the heading "building a neutral network," the
        company says its small cell terminals and core network will
        ... allow OneWeb to work together with providers in any
        regulatory environment, anywhere in the world.

Sounds great.

But, erm, what exactly does "any regulatory environment" mean?

First, let's take a step back. Some of us may not even wish to be
online ... churlish, curmudgeons who refuse to fit in with the tech
industry's turbo-charged capitalism ... they're luddites, letting
the team down, right? Either that or we, the great unwashed,
ungrateful West, will say in our infinite arrogant wisdom that
"they" have nothing to fight for, or that they're plain
freedom-haters.

Where's Kris Kristofferson when you need him?*

But, hey, no.

A single, global internet is for the good of everyone. Surely. No
matter what you want it for. And it'll be free of any earthly
challenges, such as sharks biting into submarine, trans-Pacific
telecommunications cables, or our having to dig up remote desert
landscapes in Sub-Saharan Africa, or even Australia.

Isn't that what we mean by environment? Some.

The environment — as in the ground beneath our feet and the air
we breathe — does indeed play a role in space, because even
internet satellites will still have to beam our films and social
media movement back down to Earth, and satellites hate cloud
cover as much as the next paranoid android.

Plus, we'll need a dish or receiver on the ground to pick up
those signals. OneWeb's "user terminals" are apparently good for
3G, LTE and W-iFi connectivity.

But the airwaves are dogged by interference, so it begs the
question: Why not just lay a cable, instead of taking a detour
through space?

Well, some countries won't let you. And that brings us to
regulatory environments. And why OneWeb may be clever to refer
specifically to any regulatory environments.

Because before we all start shooting hoops of joy, thinking
OneWeb solves everything for the digitally oppressed of China or
North Korea, the good money is on China blocking foreign
satellite internet signals. No large power on this planet is
above the use of jamming technology — in case you've never heard
of it, jamming technology does what's written on the tin, it jams
or blocks signals.

And China's testing jammers now.

Oh, and did we mention that the US and Russia are in on it, too?
Infographic showing how space debris can damage a satellite

That's not to mention the fact that China has business interests
to protect: Current indications suggest that China wants to
develop its own broadband satellite constellation in LEO. It
already has satellite customers in Nigeria, Indonesia and
Cambodia.

And as a result, India will also want to flex its network muscles
sometime soon. And the UK.

Russia, meanwhile, has voiced its concern over OneWeb's plans to
bring the internet to remote parts of its country as it
reportedly fears the company's network could be used to gather
intelligence and damage national security.

Vladimir Sadovnikov, a Federal Security official there has been
reported as saying "the only way to address the threats of
foreign satellite networks like OneWeb, especially in the Arctic
region and Far North, is to restrict their usage in Russia."

Whether they do that, or whether they even have the technology to
do that, doesn't really matter. The message is abundantly clear:
Avert your eyes, Five Eyes!**

The business of it all

Russia's message carefully leaves the door open for it to
restrict other foreign networks too, because they will come.

Google has long had its head in the clouds with "Project Loon," a
kind of mesh-network built with hot-air balloons. And Facebook
has had a solar-powered drone project called Aquila. Both, it
seems, could be used as "just-in-time" internet services, dashing
on an ad-hoc basis to where emergency connectivity is required.

But the main contenders are SpaceX, which is already deep in the
satellite-launching business and has space internet plans dubbed
"Starlink," and then there's also Amazon, an online retailer
turned "backend" provider and rocket builder.

Many of America's tech entrepreneurs, like Amazon's Jeff Bezos,
have had life-long interests in space. They went into business
first. But space was a first passion

Amazon's sister company, Blue Origin, builds the rockets, and
just recently signed a deal with Canada's Telesat to launch part
of a satellite constellation. It will aim to provide high-speed
internet access to governments and businesses ... not least its
own.

Aside from its consumer retail business, Amazon's Web Services
(AWS) platform is huge. AWS offers business-level computing
services, including servers and big time analytics. And the
bigger it gets, the less it will want to rely on external
networks.

A bit like Russian and China ...

Ultimately, these networks are about controlling the flow of
information, whether it's for entertainment or saving lives.

All you have to do is ask yourself whether you can trust a
business to deliver a free and open, net neutral internet. Or
whether you think it'll side first and foremost with its
shareholder interests. Those interests may well coincide with
your own, so if you're okay with that, then okay. But if not,
then, Houston ... we truly have a problem.

And not just the one.

Mega debris

Do the math, and you quickly realize that OneWeb's 900 satellites
are just the start.

Amazon and SpaceX will each want to launch hundreds of their own
satellites just to stay in the running, and then China and Russia
will feel they have to add theirs to mix ...

But low-Earth orbit is already over-populated with satellites,
many of which are dead and inoperative. It's pure junk. And while
there are technologies and ideas for how to mitigate a
space-environmental-catastrophe, there's no enforceable law to
have countries or companies remove all their junk. Which is a
problem, because space debris is not just litter, it's also a
potential danger to life and telecommunications.

OneWeb is aware of this "over-crowding" issue, up to a point.

It's developed a "Progressive Pitch" technology, which, says the
company, will allow it to tilt "satellites as they approach the
equator to make sure we never cause, or receive, interference."

Okay, so that's an "uninterrupted" service for you.

As for all that junk, OneWeb says its satellites will deorbit
automatically when they near the end of their "intended service
life."

Two years ago, DW tried to ask OneWeb for details on its
sustainability plans at the European Space Agency's 7th
conference on Space Debris. But they just walked off. That's one
way to say "no comment."

*Kris Kristofferson, American country singer, co-wrote the line:
"Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose."

**The Five Eyes intelligence alliance includes Australia, Canada,
New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Slow Scan Radio 2 March, 2019, Episode 28

Good afternoon to everyone listening, reading and watching.

Today we will have a broadcast with MFSK images, and 15 or 16 SSTV images and in addition to that a new data experiment.

Fldigi and SSTV must have autoswitching on.

As an experiment today we have an extra data stream, which is at 125 Hz in PSK31, minus 20 dB in level, simutaneously during most of the show. You can open two instances of Fldigi, te one the normal data that we have, and the other for the extra stream.

The normal data still will be auto switching, for that reason you might want to switch ¨RxID¨ in the Fldigi window off for the the second stream (and don’t forget to switch it on again when you are ready receiving the show!)

I am curious about reception of this stream. If it is successful we can try improving it a bit more, for example by using Olivia or Contestia for the second stream, which makes it possible to lower the level of the extra data to more than minus 30 dB.

GB2RS NEWS                                                          <=======  https://rsgb.org/main/gb2rs/

Sunday 24th February 2019



The news headlines:

        • IARU active at WRC-19 preparation

        • Enter the Club of the Year competition

        • Could you be RSGB Company Secretary?



The ITU Conference Preparation Meeting for WRC-19 has been running this week and will continue into next week. Taking place in Geneva, the IARU has been present for Agenda Items on
50MHz, Wireless Power and other matters of importance to amateur radio.

There is still time to put in an entry for the RSGB Club of the Year competition. Entries are welcome from all RSGB affiliated groups, and there is just one size category this year so
the size of your club doesn’t matter. The theme is ‘Meeting RSGB Strategy 2022’. Entries must be received by the 28th of February. Clubs should read the rules at www.rsgb.org/main/clubs/
national-club-of-the-year/ and send entries to their Regional Representative. The RSGB would like to thank Waters & Stanton for their continued sponsorship of this competition.

The RSGB looking to recruit an RSGB Member to the voluntary position of Company Secretary. The position plays a key role in the Society’s governance and provides vital support in the
running of Board meetings and the Annual General Meeting. For full information on the role, please go to www.rsgb.org/volunteers. If you feel you have the necessary skills to fulfil this
important role, or would like more information, email the Chairman of the Board via chairman@rsgb.org.uk and if you are applying for the position, please include a current CV.

For the first couple of days after KickSat-2 was deployed last November, nothing was heard from the satellite. But in February, Nico, PA0DLO reported receiving several short and weak
telemetry bursts on 437.5077MHz. KickSat-2 was scheduled to deploy up to 104 tiny Sprite satellites into low Earth orbit. The Sprites then would transmit on 437.240MHz at 10mW. The
Sprites, which are less than 2 square inches, are expected to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere within weeks. There is no news on whether these Sprites will be deployed.

Provisional results for the last IARU Region 1 50 to 70MHz Contest are now available on the IARU Region 1 website, www.iaru-r1.org. Several UK stations are in the top ten in various
categories. The 6 hour 50MHz category saw G4ZAP/P achieving 4th place and G0VHF/P got 10th place. In the multi-operator 50MHz section, the GJ8P stations achieved 5th place.

The ARRL has released version 11.7 of the Logbook of the World configuration file. This has added the ability to confirm QSOs made through the JO-97, FO-99 and QO-100 satellites. Users

The RSGB has changed the way it hosts the online version of RadCom. This uses HTML5 to display the pages and no l nger requires Flash to be installed. Pages will also load faster. All
this year’s editions are now available to Members in the new format at www.rsgb.org/radcom and we will be converting back issues from previous years in due course.

Car parking charges will be waived for The West of England Radio Rally on 16 June at Frome’s Cheese and Grain. Last year, Mendip District Council introduced Sunday charges in a number of
car parks across Frome, including the exhibitors’ site. According to BBC News, the council has announced it will stop charging for the duration of the event.
