[DX-NEWS] ARLP053 Propagation de K7RA
SB PROP @ ARL $ARLP053 ARLP053 Propagation de K7RA ZCZC AP53 QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 53 ARLP053 From Tad Cook, K7RA Seattle, WA December 16, 2005 To all radio amateurs SB PROP ARL ARLP053 ARLP053 Propagation de K7RA This is Propagation Forecast Bulletin number 53 for the year, which isn't bad, since 2005 is only 50 weeks old. We sometimes put an extra one out on Sunday night when a holiday forces an early bulletin, or if the early one is too soon for the weekly solar numbers, which are reported for Thursday through Wednesday. Last weekend's ARRL 10-meter contest was a nice surprise, considering that we're close to the bottom of this solar cycle. Here in the Pacific Northwest from morning to mid-day seemed quite good, with lots of transequatorial propagation to South America, with the Caribbean quite strong as well. In North America we were mostly hearing southern states, from New Mexico, Texas, across the Gulf Coast, and on up into North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Average daily sunspot numbers were down over 18 points for the week (when compared to the previous seven days), and average solar flux values were down nearly six points. Geomagnetic indices indicate quiet for the most part, although the days of the contest were unsettled. Don't expect any big changes over the next week. Solar activity should stay about the same. RWC Prague expects December 18 and 19 to be quiet (geomagnetically), quiet to unsettled conditions on December 17, 20 and 21, and unsettled December 16 and 22. Jon Shea, N3DRK of Liberty, North Carolina asked about the ACE-HF PRO System Simulation and Visualization Software (see http://www.acehf.com). We mentioned this program back in the June 28, 2002 Propagation Forecast Bulletin ARLP026 (you can read it on the web at, http://www.arrl.org/w1aw/prop/2002-arlp026.html) but haven't tried it since. Do any readers use this software for predicting HF propagation? If you would like to make a comment or have a tip for our readers, 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. An archive of past bulletins is found at, http://www.arrl.org/w1aw/prop/. Sunspot numbers for December 8 through 14 were 51, 61, 55, 51, 41, 67 and 55 with a mean of 54.4. 10.7 cm flux was 89.6, 89.1, 91.4, 93.1, 88.3, 87.9, and 89.6, with a mean of 89.9. Estimated planetary A indices were 1, 4, 12, 22, 9, 5 and 2 with a mean of 7.9. Estimated mid-latitude A indices were 1, 3, 17, 10, 7, 4 and 2, with a mean of 6.3. /EX -- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news@njdxa.org THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.

Forwarded from The Daily DX --- Forwarded message follows --- From: Bernie McClenny [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date sent: Fri, 16 Dec 2005 16:34:15 -0500 Organization: The Daily DX Copies to: 'Weekly DX mailing List' [EMAIL PROTECTED], The Daily DX mailing list dailydx@kkn.net Subject:[The Daily DX] KP5 December 16th 2130Z update Send reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Double-click this line for list subscription options ] December 16th 2130Z update K3LP/KP5 has been operating on 15 SSB (21295) since about 1545Z and will be there until the band dies tonight. He will then do 40 meters SSB all night and will look for Europe during their sunrise. N3KS/KP5 has been on 14190 since about 1500Z and will sometime tonight go to 80 meters or possible 30 meters. He is waiting for someone from their boat crew to deliver the gas and TS50 for CW. They are still trying to work as many unique QSOs as possible to give as many as possible their first QSO. Also Dave said they now think they can stay until early Tuesday. Also they will be looking for VK/ZL/JA on 15 SSB around 2200-2330Z. The guys are a little tired but hanging in there. Temperatures today in the tents were about 120 degrees F. Yesterday they moved over 1000 pounds of equipment some 300 yards. Dave does not think they will get the 160 antenna up today.

RE: [DX-NEWS] KP5 QRT Saturday a.m.
Just an FYI... I'm not impressed with the CW operation especially on 30m. Spots were poor on the cluster and there was no idea where he was listening. I sensed from quite a number of CW operators on the cluster their same frustration spending way too much time trying to find out where to transmit. Future reference why not give some indication, from time to time, where you are listing. I spend 3 hours, call me foolish... and I still don't know if I'm in the log for 30m. I thought I heard him reply to me... Is it me just getting old and cranky? 73; Kurt - W2MW -- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news@njdxa.org THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.
