[DX-NEWS] ARLP014 Propagation de K7RA
SB PROP @ ARL $ARLP014 ARLP014 Propagation de K7RA ZCZC AP14 QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 14 ARLP014 From Tad Cook, K7RA Seattle, WA April 8, 2005 To all radio amateurs SB PROP ARL ARLP014 ARLP014 Propagation de K7RA Sunspots, solar flux and geomagnetic numbers all averaged out to a slight rise this past week over the previous period. Average daily sunspot numbers rose over five points to 39.4, and average daily solar flux was up over two points to 82.5. The most active geomagnetic day was Tuesday, April 5, when the planetary A index was 48 and the mid-latitude A index was 30. This was triggered by a solar wind stream and a south-pointing interplanetary magnetic field. The field pointing north, as it was on April 3 offers some protection, but when it points south the earth is vulnerable to the effects of flares and coronal holes. Sunspot numbers and solar flux are expected to decline very slowly for the rest of April. Sunday, April 10 looks like a day for possibly unsettled to active geomagnetic conditions. Spring is a great time of year for propagation, but we wish there were more sunspots. Comparing the average daily sunspot number for the past week with monthly averages for April in years past, this week was 34% below 2004, 66% below 2003, and 80% below 2002. Tim Young, WB7UVH of Washougal, Washington wrote, Some time ago I used a graphing program that imported data from your reports to graph flux values. Is that program still available? Yes, it is available, and the data file has just been updated. Tim is remembering the WA4TTK Solar Data Plotting Utility, which has worked in conjunction with this bulletin for nearly a dozen years. It is freeware written generously by Scott Craig, and you can find it on Scott's web site at http://www.craigcentral.com/. Just click on the link, Download Freeware Software I Have Written. Scott updated the GRAPH.dat data file through April 6, 2005, and you can find a link for this below the software download link. Scott has programs working with all Windows versions beginning with 3.1, and even one that works with MS-DOS. The program can update by automatically grabbing the sunspot and solar flux data from a text file version of this bulletin, or it can download the data from ARRL servers over the net. Andy Gudas, N7TP of Nevada, sent in this question. On the packet spotting nets they report SFI, A, K, and R. What is R? R is the sunspot number. It is calculated by multiplying the number of visible sunspot groups by ten, then adding the number of individual sunspots. So if four sunspot groups are observed, and there are 29 individual sunspots visible, the sunspot number would be 69. That is the simple explanation. What really happens is observations are made from multiple sites, and then there is a K factor, sort of a fudge factor, that the number is multiplied by. That K factor is different for each observatory, and is used to make the resulting numbers approximately equivalent. All of the results are averaged to yield the daily sunspot number. By the way, SFI is the Solar Flux Index, which is a measurement of 10.7 cm (about 2.8 GHz) energy with an antenna pointed at the sun. We get our solar flux numbers from a Canadian observatory in Penticton, British Columbia. You can find the definition for R and many other terms in the Glossary of Solar-Terrestrial Terms, hosted by the High Altitude Observatory at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Look it up at, http://www.hao.ucar.edu/public/education/glossary.html. The story in last week's Propagation Forecast Bulletin ARLP013 about the Novice license and the red sweater provoked a huge email response. Thanks to everyone who wrote. If you would like to comment or have a tip, email the author at, [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more information concerning radio propagation and an explanation of the numbers used in this bulletin see the ARRL Technical Information Service propagation page at, http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/propagation.html. Sunspot numbers for March 31 through April 6 were 22, 26, 30, 38, 54, 56 and 50 with a mean of 39.4. 10.7 cm flux was 76.7, 78.3, 80.2, 81.1, 84.8, 88.3 and 88, with a mean of 82.5. Estimated planetary A indices were 9, 8, 4, 6, 17, 48 and 11 with a mean of 14.7. Estimated mid-latitude A indices were 5, 6, 1, 4, 11, 30 and 7, with a mean of 9.1. /EX -- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news@njdxa.org THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.

[DX-NEWS] (Fwd) Fwd: Client TOS Notification
An here we go again ladies and gentleman. I know Urb has the patience of a saint, but this becoming too much even for him. I am afraid that all AOL subscribers will be moved off the main list and onto the digest version by this weekend unless we can figure why some individual is too lazy to unsubscribe himself and insists on ruining this for everyone else. I have removed the last few AOL subscribers (those subscribing in the past week) to see if this is the problem..I doubt it I do have several ideas and will discuss them with Urb.

Calendar (Apr 07 - 16, 2005) Islands, Castles Portable Operations Operations are listed by start date (Day/Month/Year) = 07/04/2005: The operators who activated OC-251 September 2002, OC-261 April 2003 and OC-228 April 2004 plan to activate OC-220, Southern Australia State West group, St. Peter Island, Nuyts Archipelago as VI5PN the second weekend in April, commencing early Thursday April 7th and concluding Monday April 11th April 2100z. This will be a special event, commemorating the 350th Anniversary of the death of Pieter Nuyts, the Dutch East India Company man and sometime explorer, who died in 1655. St Peter Island and Nuyts Archipelago, which is located off the coast from the seaport, Ceduna/Thevenard, was named after Pieter Nuyts in 1627 whilst exploring the southern ocean area of Australia, now known as the Great Australian Bight. St Peter Island is part of a closely protected Conservation Park and also part of a greater Ecological Restoration of Endangered Species Program by South Australia Parks and Wildlife. A permit has been obtained for 4 operators to land and operate for a limited period. Operating dates/times are dependant on weather conditions, which can be unpredictable at any time of the year. Expected operators are Peter VK3QI, Keith VK3FT, Jack VK3WWW and Max VK3WT. Usual IOTA frequencies will be observed, both CW and SSB. Emphasis will be on 30 and 40 CW and 20, 17 and 15 SSB. Long Path to Europe around 05:00-08:00 UTC will also be emphasized. OC-220 has only been activated once before in March 1997, by Mal (VK6LC) as VK5ISL, for a total of 2200 QSOs, making it a relatively rare group. CW QSOs will be available and special arrangements put in place to maximize contacts with African and South American stations, who have an entirely polar path through the auroral zones to contend with, both long and short paths. A special commemorative callsign has been applied for and we are particularly interested in having contacts with as many Dutch stations as possible. QSL details for VI5PN are as follows: via VK3QI Direct (any callbook) or via VK3 QSL bureau. Any questions about the proposed operation to: Peter Forbes, VK3QI ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). [Tnx VK3QI]
