[DX-NEWS] ARLP051 Propagation de K7RA
. You can find information on the ARRL 10 Meter Contest at http://www.arrl.org/10-meter. I used past ARRL Propagation Bulletins from the archive at http://arrl.org/w1aw-bulletins-archive-propagation as a source for data on past 10 Meter contests. While browsing, in ARLP050 in 2010 I found an interesting resource that I had forgotten about at http://www.helioviewer.org/ . With this tool you can set up a movie of recent or past solar images, and have them continually animated at a variety of rates and representing a time period of your choosing. I also ran into a bulletin by Tony, G4CJC concerning 10 meter DX and propagation news from Europe at http://www.southgatearc.org/bands/10metres/december2013/december_12.htm#.Uqls0-JC2UU . Jon Jones, N0JK writes The World Above 50 MHz column in QST, and sent this note: The Winter 6 meter Es season is underway. Tuesday Dec. 10 - 6 meters was open before sunrise (1230 UTC) from KS, NE to Florida, and strong Es from W1 to Florida. Geminids meteor shower to peak this weekend. That's right, and the meteor shower should enhance 10 meter propagation, because of all those ionized meteor trails. In fact, the story goes that the second weekend in December was picked for the 10 meter contest because it coincides, with some variation year to year, with the Geminids shower. Max White, M0VNG sent along an article about threats from massive solar events. Read it at at http://www.colorado.edu/news/releases/2013/12/09/cu-boulder-scientist-2012-solar-storm-points-need-society-prepare . Ray Soifer, W2RS of Green Valley, Arizona wrote: Interesting to read about Larry, W0OGH's experience with VU7AG. Mine was very similar. I am 113 miles south of Larry's QTH and worked VU7AG on 20 CW a minute before he did. I too noticed the auroral flutter on the VU7's signal. Most of their times and frequencies seemed to favor Europe and the eastern half of North America so it was good to have this opening. On 20 CW I have 600 watts to a Hy-Gain AV620 vertical mounted on a 10-foot pipe. It isn't a 4- element monobander but it does pretty well on DX paths due to its fairly low radiation angle. Funny. My word processing program did not like the word monobander above, and suggested mindbender as the correct spelling. For more information concerning radio propagation, see the ARRL Technical Information Service at http://arrl.org/propagation-of-rf-signals. For an explanation of the numbers used in this bulletin, see http://arrl.org/the-sun-the-earth-the-ionosphere. An archive of past propagation bulletins is at http://arrl.org/w1aw-bulletins-archive-propagation. More good information and tutorials on propagation are at http://k9la.us/. Monthly propagation charts between four USA regions and twelve overseas locations are at http://arrl.org/propagation. Instructions for starting or ending email distribution of ARRL bulletins are at http://arrl.org/bulletins. Sunspot numbers for December 5 through 11 were 103, 105, 104, 83, 125, 169, and 166, with a mean of 122.1. 10.7 cm flux was 149.6, 150.5, 156.9, 165.5, 168.1, 175.2, and 170.8, with a mean of 162.4. Estimated planetary A indices were 5, 4, 6, 26, 5, 5, and 4, with a mean of 7.9. Estimated mid-latitude A indices were 4, 3, 4, 14, 2, 3, and 2, with a mean of 4.6. /EX --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

My working hours are mostly in the evening which means 1700-2300 GMT and mostly 20m and 40m. I don't think it is a good time for USA. I also try 10m between 0900 and 1200 GMT if the band is open.

[DX-NEWS] ARLP049 Propagation de K7RA
SB PROP @ ARL $ARLP049 ARLP049 Propagation de K7RA ZCZC AP49 QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 49 ARLP049 From Tad Cook, K7RA Seattle, WA December 2, 2013 To all radio amateurs SB PROP ARL ARLP049 ARLP049 Propagation de K7RA This is a catch-up bulletin released Monday morning after the Thanksgiving Holiday. We had quite an active week on November 14-20, and today we are reporting the numbers for the following week, November 21-27, and beyond. Average daily sunspot numbers fell from 193.3 in the earlier period to 63.6 in the latter, and in the four days since then, November 28 through December 1, the average daily sunspot number rose to 100.3. Average daily solar flux was also off, from 166.9 in the earlier period to 130 in the latter, then in the following four days the average solar flux was 130.8. Geomagnetic indices were quiet, except that on November 29 through December 1 the planetary A index was 8, 9 and 10. Still, these are very moderate numbers, indicating conditions were slightly unsettled. Predicted solar flux is 130 on December 2, 135 on December 3-4, then 140, 145, 140, 135 and 140 on December 5-9, 165 on December 9-14, then 160, 155 and 145 on December 15-17, 140 on December 18-19, 135 on December 20, and 130 on December 21-24. Predicted planetary A index is 15 on December 2, 10 on December 3, 5 on December 4-5, 8 on December 6, 12 on December 7-8, 8 on December 9, 5 on December 10-12, then 10 and 8 on December 13-14, 5 on December 15-21, then 8, 10 and 8 on December 22-24, and 5 on December 25-30. Now that November is over, let's look at sunspot number averages. Our 3-month moving average is up following increased activity, and we now know the 3-month average centered on October (including all data from September 1 through November 30.) The three month moving average of daily sunspot numbers centered on January through October is 73.6, 80.7, 85.2, 106.4, 106.4, 97.5, 85.6, 77.4, 91.2 and 102.9. The monthly averages of daily sunspot numbers for June through November 2013 were 80.2, 86.2, 90.2, 55, 127.2 and 125.7. For those interested in whether recent activity is part of a second double peak in this cycle, the earlier peak at the end of 2011 had monthly averages for September through December of 106.4, 123.6, 133.1 and 106.4. On November 27, Dean Lewis, W9WGV of Palatine, Illinois sent this report about the fun he had on 10 meters during the CQ Worldwide CW DX Contest, with a very simple indoor antenna: Last weekend's 10 meter propagation was amazing; I worked three JAs; two on 10 meters, one on 15 meters; this may not sound like any great shakes to most, but being 'CCR-challenged,' I run 10 watts from an Icom 703 to a carefully pruned indoor end-fed 40 meter half-wave wire (full wave on 20 meters, three half-waves on 15 meters, two full waves on 10 meters with no feedline or RF ground, and a very simple small matching device). The signals were all well over S9 and no QSB; no fills, no repeats, no errors. Also worked a number of European stations, Niger, the Caribbean, and South America, plus KH6 and KL7. 10 was like the low end of 40 meters on a Winter night. Don't remember when last I had to use the 500-cycle CW filter on 10 meter, but I did on Saturday and Sunday. Dan Bates, N5TM of Katy, Texas also enjoyed 10 meters during the CQ Worldwide CW weekend: I've never seen 10 meters with stations all the way up to 28.160 as was the case on Sunday morning of the CQWW. Propagation opened to the Far East late in the contest and my last two Qs were to China and East Malaysia on 15 meters. Dan also has restricted antenna space and operates very low profile.

Sunspot numbers for November 21 through 27 were 85, 51, 65, 69, 52, 47, and 76, with a mean of 63.6. 10.7 cm flux was 141.2, 142.8, 135.6, 127.1, 119.1, 115.5, and 129, with a mean of 130. Estimated planetary A indices were 3, 3, 8, 2, 2, 2, and 2, with a mean of 3.1. Estimated mid-latitude A indices were 1, 2, 6, 2, 2, 2, and 2, with a mean of 2.4. /EX --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

[DX-NEWS] ARLP048 Propagation de K7RA
SB PROP @ ARL $ARLP048 ARLP048 Propagation de K7RA ZCZC AP48 QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 48 ARLP048 From Tad Cook, K7RA Seattle, WA November 27, 2013 To all radio amateurs SB PROP ARL ARLP048 ARLP048 Propagation de K7RA Because of the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, we have a shortened bulletin two days early, and another one will follow on Monday, December 2 which will contain the data for our regular reporting week, which is November 21-27. But being one day short of a full week of data, we can see that so far, the average sunspot number for November 21-26 fell 131.8 points to 61.5, and average daily solar flux declined from 166.9 to 130.2. We all hope it comes back. Those numbers are compared to the previous seven days reported in last week's bulletin, November 14-20. The latest prediction has solar flux at 120 on November 27-30, 125 on December 1-2, 130 and 140 on December 3-4, 150 on December 5-6, 155 on December 7, 165 on December 8-14, then 160, 155 and 145 on December 15-17 and 140 on December 18-19. Predicted planetary A index is 8 on November 27, 5 on November 28 through December 3, 10 and 5 on December 4-5, then 15, 15 and 12 on December 6-8, 5 on December 9-12, 10 and 8 on December 13-14, and 5 on December 15-21. Jon Jones, N0JK of Lawrence, Kansas reported: I corresponded with Pat, WA5IYX about the November 9, 2013 opening. The November 9, 2013 6 meter F2 opening for North America to the Caribbean and northern South America was unique as it is probably the first morning F2 opening of Solar Cycle 24. There were a number of these 'morning F2' openings in Solar Cycles 22 and 23. Most frequent in the late fall and winter months, and often after or during a geomagnetic storm. Pat, WA5IYX reminded me of a much bigger opening like this on November 8-9, 1991. I recall working Africa, Central and South America in the morning, followed by Hawaii then Australia in the afternoon on 6 meters. The 2013 opening dissipated before moving west to the South Pacific. Pat's log of the November, 1991 event can be found at, http://www.qsl.net/wa5iyx/11081091.txt As for recent HF propagation, 10 meters was very good Sunday in the ARRL Sweepstakes. Rare sections such as Northwest Territories (VE8EV), Alaska, Canadian Maritime (VY2ZM), Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands were loud.

[DX-NEWS] Hello from ex WA2QHN - Newton, NJ (now KY6R)
One of my mentors was Bob - W2LV, and I am originally from Sussex County. My story is on QRZ.COM . . . I was not a DX-er but a CW traffic man in the 70's . . . as a kid. Anyway, a friend recommended that I post this on your reflector: Hello First of all - the team on FT5ZM have all upped their ante - and have increased their personal cost from 10K to 12K ++, so - I can only hope you have donated generously so these guys don't get dinged again. I have - directly and via clubs and foundations that total over $200.00. I wish I could do more - but I can't. FT5ZM is a harbinger of what is to come for such remote DX-peditions, and FT5ZM is not even south of the Roaring 40's! Friends, We have entered a new era, where such entities may never be activated again - at least on a large scale. Forget about access - and complaining about the US FW - that's child's play. COST will be the limiting factor. The biggest hope I have is that two people in a sailboat actually activated Heard island in days or yore. I expect DX-peditions are soon going to look a lot like Tomi and George and a lot less like VP6DX . . . . I'm thinking Heard, South Sandwich, Bouvet, Kerguelin, Crozet, etc, etc, etc Think about it - but TODAY - throw a few extra shekels towards FT5ZM! That is coming up sooner than you think! Thanks and 73, Rich KY6R --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

These materials will all come together in January when the Braveheart and the FT5ZM team arrive in Fremantle, Australia. We are in the phase of the DXpedition where large expenses are coming at us rapidly. We are staying within our budgeted expenses, but contributions have been somewhat less than we had hoped. It now appears almost certain that the team members will have to increase their personal contribution from $10,000 per person to $12,500 per person as well as pay their own way to and from Fremantle. If you've contributed to the DXpedition, we thank you. If you've yet to help us, or if you can send some additional help our way, we can certainly use any financial support that you can give us. Donations are gratefully accepted at www.amsterdamdx.org [TNX K0IR] DXCC NEWS --- T6JR (Afghanistan, 2013 operation) has been approved for DXCC credit.

[DX-NEWS] ARLP043 Propagation de K7RA
Watts to a 7-element OP-DES Yagi on 10 meters. Ganesh, VU2TS sends us this message from Karnataka: Hello and Greetings from South India! I am the editor of Amateur Radio News of the Amateur Radio Societies of India - ARSI (http://www.arsi.info) and I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for your propagation bulletin which we are receiving regularly. With the sunspot activity quite low, the band conditions these days are poor - even though we are supposed to be experiencing the Solar Max, Hi! However, I wish to share with you my pet theory about amateurs ionizing the ionosphere. This weekend is the CQ WW DX SSB contest, and with something like 30 to 40,000 stations on the air at the same time, and some 30% of them using a kW or more, all the bands open up for long haul DX! (Remember HAARP?) Just listen to the bands this weekend - and you will be surprised at the unusual band openings! Feedback welcome. 73, Ganesh VU2TS. That's right Ganesh, in order to feed the ionosphere we have to call, not just listen. It is part of the magic of radio. Further evidence of the magic of radio is the fact that I am writing Friday's bulletin while using an airline Wi-Fi connection during a flight from Seattle to Washington D.C. Like all other basic in-flight amenities, such as snacks, it is quite expensive. Of course, back when snacks were free, I couldn't get an internet connection in the air. If you would like to make a comment or have a tip for our readers, email the author at, k...@arrl.net. For more information concerning radio propagation, see the ARRL Technical Information Service web page at, http://arrl.org/propagation-of-rf-signals. For an explanation of the numbers used in this bulletin, see http://arrl.org/the-sun-the-earth-the-ionosphere. An archive of past propagation bulletins is at http://arrl.org/w1aw-bulletins-archive-propagation. More good information and tutorials on propagation are at http://k9la.us/. Monthly propagation charts between four USA regions and twelve overseas locations are at http://arrl.org/propagation. Instructions for starting or ending email distribution of ARRL bulletins are at http://arrl.org/bulletins. Sunspot numbers for October 17 through 23 were 166, 154, 149, 117, 179, 228, and 141, with a mean of 162. 10.7 cm flux was 136.1, 139.9, 132.7, 133.4, 135.8, 146.3, and 152.7, with a mean of 139.6. Estimated planetary A indices were 9, 3, 3, 3, 2, 5, and 4, with a mean of 4.1.

There now are no predictions for the solar flux dropping below 100 in the next 45 days. October 6 was the date of the last forecast predicting any flux values below 100. These predictions were for periods later in October and again in November. Average daily sunspot numbers increased by 47 points to 79, and average daily solar flux increased 3.8 points to 110.4. These averages compare the recent October 3-9 period with the previous seven days, September 26 through October 2. The latest prediction for solar flux is 125 on October 11-13, 120 on October 14-16, 115 on October 17, 105 on October 18-23, 100 on October 24-29, 105 on October 30-31, 100 on November 1-2, 105 on November 3-4, 100 on November 5-6, and 105 on November 7-15.

NOTE FROM EDITOR: These items would have been included into today's bulletin, but I was on the road early this morning heading back to Ohio (arrived 5:00 PM EDST) from Tennessee. CY0, SABLE ISLAND (Update). OPDX received the following from the team on Sunday [edited]: As of z on October 6th, the CY0P DXpedition team has 18,203 contacts in the log including 900 to Japan where CY0 is in the Top 20. Not sure on the departure date as it depends on the weather and the condition of the beach landing. We are scheduled for a Tuesday flight but schedules mean nothing when dealing with the weather and landing conditions! Right now Parks Canada advises the landing area has too much loose sand. We have been experiencing strong winds but nothing out of the ordinary for Sable. One of the fiberglass antenna masts broke in the strong winds but we were able to make repairs and it is operational again. We will keep operating until the last possible hour. Will keep you posted...

[DX-NEWS] ARLP040 Propagation de K7RA
about 1730 UTC when absorption was high. 15 meters opened to Texas well by about 1540 UTC both days and stayed open until past 2230 UTC Saturday, but activity could have been better. 10 meters opened on Sunday well to Europe at 1308 UTC when I turned on the radio, with many UA3 area stations logged. Conditions actually seemed to favor Russia with about 25 stations logged before QRTing for the Texas QSO Party at 1352 UTC; western EU was weak at best. This was the best day into Russia and surprisingly good conditions considering the fairly low SFI. On September 30, 10 meters did not open well to Europe, but again there was some propagation to RU3EG (1506 UTC) and UA3YDH (1335 UTC). And surprisingly, Kumar, VU2BGS was worked S5 on 10 CW using a 6 element yagi on his end and 5 el on my end. Twelve meters was open well to UR and Russia as far as RQ4F. Outside of India, Central Asia conditions have not been good above 20 meters. 8Q7AM was 57 on 15 meter phone at 1653 UTC, but he is far south. Since October 2, 10 has sounded poor except to the south and even 12 meters has been quite poor or closed to Europe. Today, Oct 3, conditions seemed to improve later in the day with a good 12 meter opening to JA around 2220 UTC and a good signal from TO2TT on Mayotte in the Indian Ocean on 17 phone at 1942 UTC. There was some sporadic-E into New England as well as to county activator W0GXQ in eastern Oklahoma, logged on 12 and 10 meters with S5 signals or better (1540-1722 UTC) and still loud on 15 most of the time on F2 thru 2046 UTC. If you would like to make a comment or have a tip for our readers, email the author at, k...@arrl.net.

Sunspot numbers for September 26 through October 2 were 63, 54, 58, 39, 42, 49, and 59, with a mean of 52. 10.7 cm flux was 109.9, 107.9, 105.7, 103.1, 104.9, 106.8, and 108.1, with a mean of 106.6. Estimated planetary A indices were 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 39, with a mean of 8. Estimated mid-latitude A indices were 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 6, and 29, with a mean of 6.7. /EX --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

Donovan, ZS2DL, who was expected to lead a team of operators in April of 2014 to Botswana, has announced: It is with tremendous disappointment, that we have had to cancel the A22D trip in April 2014. The main reason for this has been the breakdown of sponsorship from one of the main Japanese manufacturer of Radio equipment. These negotiations have been ongoing for nearly a year now, and business must be bad as we simply could not reach a workable solution. As a result we have no alternative but to cancel the A22D adventure. Please accept our most sincere apologies, but promise to be back from somewhere else soon, maybe even more sought after than A2. A5, BHUTAN. Operators Junichi/JH3AEF, Ryo/JH7EQW and Jusei/JA3IVU will be active as A52AEF, A52EQW and A52IVU, respectively, from Dochula Pass between October 10-20th.

[DX-NEWS] ARLP038 Propagation de K7RA
SB PROP @ ARL $ARLP038 ARLP038 Propagation de K7RA ZCZC AP38 QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 38 ARLP038 From Tad Cook, K7RA Seattle, WA September 20, 2013 To all radio amateurs SB PROP ARL ARLP038 ARLP038 Propagation de K7RA Solar activity continues to be weak, although there was an uptick on September 18-19 when solar flux rose to 104.1, then 107.9. September 18 was the first day with solar flux above 100 since September 6. Average daily sunspot number for the reporting week (September 12-18) rose to 42.3, up from 37.7 for the previous seven days. The daily sunspot number on September 18-19 rose from 59 to 85. Average daily solar flux dipped slightly, from 98.2 to 95.3 over the same seven day period. Average daily planetary A index and mid-latitude A index were both 6.3. For the near term, solar flux is predicted at 110 on September 20-22, 105 on September 23-24, 100 on September 25-30, 95 on October 1-13, and 100 on October 14-27. Over the past few days all of the short term predictions for solar flux have been adjusted downward. Predicted planetary A index is 8 on September 20, 5 on September 21-22, 8 on September 23-24, 5 on September 25-26, 8 on September 27, 12 on September 28, 5 on September 29 through October 9, then 10, 8, 5, 15, 10 and 8 on October 10-15, followed by 5 on October 16-18. OK1HH sent us another geomagnetic forecast, and he thinks the geomagnetic field will be quiet to unsettled on September 20-21, mostly quiet September 22, quiet to unsettled on September 23, quiet on September 24-25, mostly quiet September 26, active to disturbed September 27, quiet to active September 28, mostly quiet September 29, quiet on September 30, quiet to active October 1, quiet on October 2-5, quiet to unsettled October 6-7, mostly quiet October 8, and active to disturbed October 9. OK1HH also says a growing solar wind may cause remarkable changes in the magnetosphere and ionosphere on September 20-21, and on September 24. The Autumnal Equinox is just a couple of days away. Fall officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere on Sunday, September 22 at 2044 UTC. Check out this science blog, with observation about the current weak cycle at, http://www.science20.com/news_articles/solar_activity_smallest_sunspot_cycle_1906-120785. The following interesting article has a lot of good information, surprising (to me) for an article from a financial and markets analyst who is not a science reporter. The only minor quibble I have is with his apparent confusion between number of sunspots and sunspot number, which are very different, but otherwise this article is quite a good effort: http://www.trust.org/item/20130918115439-cn7ub/?source=hpbreaking Howard Lester, N7SO sent this article from Sky Telescope. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/community/skyblog/newsblog/Glimpse-of-Suns-Interior-Befuddles-Theorists-223291961.html. Jon Jones, N0JK commented on N8II's recent report, and says that 10 meters has been good in Kansas as well, with F0/KH0PR on Disappointment Island worked on September 11 at 1955 UTC from his mobile using a modified CB mag mount on the roof. Roland Anders, K3RA also commented on N8II's experience, Jeff's excellent report about 12 meters prompts me to pass along that there was some 12 meter excitement in Maryland on Sept 10 around noon. I worked 9M6XRO at 1538Z on CW, and E20WKA on SSB at 1603Z. VOACAP modeling shows that possibility. European stations were coming through at the same time. Larry Godek, W0OGH sent these links for checking sunrise/sunset times around the world: http://www.gaisma.com/en/ and http://www.gaisma.com/en/dir/us-country.html .

[DX-NEWS] ARLP037 Propagation de K7RA
Fall, HF propagation generally improves. For example, if we run a projection using W6ELprop for two months earlier on August 22 using a smoothed sunspot number of 100 from Central California to Japan, 10 meters looks marginal from 2130-0130 UTC. But with the same sunspot number on September 22, conditions look excellent at 2100-0100 UTC and very good from 0100-0300 UTC. Similarly, on the same dates, from Atlanta, Georgia to Spain on 12 meters on August 22, conditions on 12 meters look fairly good at 1430-2300 UTC. But two months later, signals should be excellent from 1230-2200 UTC on 12 meters over the same path. If you would like to make a comment or have a tip for our readers, email the author at, k...@arrl.net.

Sunspot numbers for September 5 through 11 were 75, 41, 35, 24, 13, 23, and 53, with a mean of 37.7. 10.7 cm flux was 110.1, 101.3, 98.5, 95.7, 94.3, 94.9, and 92.8, with a mean of 98.2.

Darren will be there on holiday, so activity will be limited to 2-3 hours per day on 40-6 meters using CW, SSB and RTTY. His equipment is an IC-7000 with wire antennas for 40-10m and a 2 element Quad on 6m. Participation in the CQWW DX RTTY Contest (September 28-29th) will be very limited due to his return flight time. Darren states [edited], Please do not send me any paper QSL cards, either direct or via the Bureau. Please use the OQRS feature on ClubLog to request Bureau or direct cards. Also, requests for Bureau QSL cards can be made via E-mail. The log will be uploaded to LoTW and ClubLog during the holiday. 5C0, MOROCCO (Special Event Cancelled). The Council of Europe Radio Amateur Club (CERAC - TP2CE) was expected to team up with the Associ- ation Royale des Radio Amateur du Maroc (ARRAM) to activate the special callsign 5C0CE between August 20-21st, but the operation was cancelled by the ARRAM's President 16 hours before the CERAC team was to leave for Morocco. Francis, F6FQK, one of CERAC's Administrative Personal, informs OPDX that they received the Moroccan licence many months ago and the Radio Amateurs from Morocco have been preparing for this operation since last year with a lot of enthusiasm. There has been no direct details and/or motive received on behalf of the ARRAM's President about any problem. Francis believes that this incident is very damaging to the ham radio community. Also, the members of the CERAC team, who were expected to participate in the event, personally funded this expedition (train, fly etc ), and now it's too late to recover their paid expenses. 9M6DXX 9M8Z GOING QRT. Steve, 9M6DXX, informs OPDX: After more than eight years in Malaysia, my wife Eva, 9M6EVA, and I have decided to move on to another part of the world. We leave Malaysia on November 1st; therefore, 9M6DXX will go QRT some time in October. 9M8Z has already closed down; the last QSO from that station was made in the RSGB IOTA Contest in July. We will be moving to Bonaire, and we hope to be active with PJ4 callsigns before the end of the year. Thanks for all the QSOs from 9M6DXX and 9M8Z (also 9M6DXX/P, 9M8Z/P, XU7DXX, V8FEO, V85/9M8Z, FK/G4JVG, T32MI / CI / VI / SI, 4W6A, GD4JVG and 9M4SLL) since 2005. It's been fun! 73, Steve, 9M6DXX AFRICAN TOUR. Nick, G3RWF, has announced that he will once again be active as 5X1NH from the University of the Mountains of the Moon (MMU) in Fort Portal, Western Uganda and (occasionally) the capital, Kampala, between September 24th and November 16th. He is expected to join/meet with Alan, G3XAQ/5X1XA, later and both operators will travel to Rwanda to be active as 9X0NH between November 19-29th. The duo plan to participate
[DX-NEWS] ARLP034 Propagation de K7RA
this in: I have been following the discussions on this solar cycle and the question of whether there will be a second peak. Looking at the graphs of the previous ones I interpret them as all having a second peak even if it is not as well defined as in the more recent 2 cycles. Obviously the graphs do show that the second peak is normally weaker than the first one. The shape of the present one looks as if that trend is going to be followed although it is often dangerous to make such assumptions. You have probably seen the same predictions that I have suggesting that Cycle 25 will be even weaker and some think it could be virtually flat. Looking at the historical information it does seem to do that about every 100 years. The conditions on the HF bands have been so poor with my rather minimal antenna system that I have not been able to resume skeds with my friends in the USA and Canada. Those used to be mainly on 17 meters. Instead we have been catching up in person when some of my friends have come over here to visit me! That is partly why I have now gone back on the VHF and UHF bands instead. From what I can recollect of the recent cycles I think that the best conditions each time on the 6 meter band have been during the second peak rather than during the first one. This year I have been using a rather low gain log periodic antenna covering 50 MHz to 1,300 MHz. Photos are on my QRZ.com entry. I have had QSOs with 39 countries on 6 meters so far this year and all were on SSB. I keep thinking I should learn Morse or try some of the digital modes. Most of those have been within Europe and North Africa (EA8, EA9 and CT3). On the second of this month I was on during the only transatlantic opening I have caught this year. I worked VE1YX and five in the USA. My radio on 6 meters is the IC-756 Pro 2. A few weeks ago I got back on the 4 meter band after an absence of about 30 years. There are now many more countries on the band than when I was first on. My score this year is now 11 countries although I could have got a lot more if I had been on earlier in the Sporadic E season. I am using a Spectrum transverter, with 20 watts out, driven by an FT-817. On 2 meters I have had 9 countries, 70 cms 7 countries and 23 cms 5 countries this year all using an IC-910X. Last year I was able to work into Germany on all three of those bands during November when I had just got back on those bands. I have worked Germany this year on 2 meters. I am hoping to be able to get more on the list when the Tropo season starts which is usually in October. Earlier this year I joined the Yahoo group for the microwave bands, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ukmicrowaves/ . That one is very interesting but I later realized that I could not find a suitable one for the lower VHF and UHF bands so I recently started one - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VHFandUHF/ . That group now has 69 members and seems to be growing nicely. We already have 3 members in the USA so maybe we will get more from your part of the world soon. Thanks, Laurence! Many readers may be unfamiliar with the 4 meter amateur band at 70 MHz, which is used in Europe but not North America.

[DX-NEWS] Press Release: FOCUS75 Magazine
Fra: Roger Western g3...@btinternet.com Subject: Press Release: FOCUS75 Magazine Press Release: FOC - FOCUS75 Magazine During the month of May 2013 the First Class CW Operators' Club hosted a CW QSO Party, FOC75, to help celebrate the Club's 75th Anniversary. This turned into a major CW fun event for the whole month. Over 60 stations around the world signed with the *FOC prefix, making over 200,000 CW QSOs and leading to over 1,600 applications for our commemorative certificate - well beyond our wildest dreams. This was a major tribute to Samuel Morse, Alfred Vail and to the Club's motto: A man should keep his friendship in constant repair (Samuel Johnson, 1709-1789). FOC publishes a quarterly magazine for its members called FOCUS, a high-quality magazine edited by Gabor, S57WJ. But this FOC75 event met with such huge success that we have decided to publish an extra edition, called FOCUS75. FOC is pleased to share this special edition of our magazine with not only members but also anyone who enjoys CW. Just go to http://www.g4foc.org/ to down-load it. Read the whole story of this month-long celebration of Morse Code, especially the operating experiences around the world, and see photos of those who made it happen in a pull-out poster. CW is alive and well and will remain so for at least the next 75 years - FOC will see to that! 73 de Roger/G3SXW, FOC Committee Secretary. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups foc_members group.

[DX-NEWS] ARLP030 Propagation de K7RA
Kansas I worked several stations in the Central Pacific including E51AND in the Cook Islands and some ZL's, all on CW and with decent (but not strong) signals. Interestingly, on both ends of these QSO's we were running high power into basic unity gain antennas and only netted about S-5 signals, so path loss was moderately high. But, the bottom line is, 18 MHz was open into the Pacific from Kansas well into the late evening. I still find that if 17 meters sounds 'dead' with low noise, it is usually open with very long skip and the main problem is a lack of activity, not a lack of propagation. Good point, Jon. You can also listen for beacons if you suspect a quiet band is not actually dead (or make some calls.), or get a trial account at QupNow (see http://q-upnow.com/) and click on HF Availability. This relies on up-to-the-minute global measurements of TEC (Total Electron Content in the ionosphere), and allows you to test propagation on any path, but only for the current time. It shows the relative signal strength all long that path, from your QTH to the target location and continuing on out the other side over the great circle route. Note that it also works on 160 meters. You can either enter coordinates for both locations, or it may be more convenient to use the grid square entry method. Don May, N5DN of Houston, Texas pointed out that on July 25, Spaceweather.com ran an article about the weak solar cycle titled Underwhelming. Kinda makes a DXer want to cry., weeps Don, and we can all certainly empathize. But, there is still room for hope. The article also said, Solar physicist Dean Pesnell of the Goddard Space Flight Center thinks Solar Cycle 24 is double peaked--and the second peak is yet to come. If you can't find the article and accompanying graphic, go to http://www.spaceweather.com/ and enter July 25 in the Archives drop-downs in the upper right. Chip Margelli, K7JA of Garden Grove, California (DM03) wrote Although 6 meters has been terrible this year, I did just work KH6HME (KH7Y operating) on 144.276.5 MHz on SSB and CW. Fred started at 5x1 and came up to about 5x5. Time was 1857 UTC on 25 July. Good to hear Fred activating Paul Lieb's memorial callsign. Chip notes that Fred was running 80 watts and an 8 element Yagi from Mauna Loa. Chip was running 100 watts using a TS-2000 and an 8 element LFA Yagi ten feet above his roof.

Average daily solar flux was up nearly 21 points to 127.9. Two days, July 6 and July 10, had the most geomagnetic activity, with a planetary A index of 25 on July 10. Planetary A index on July 6 was 21. The forecast issued on July 7 had a predicted solar flux of 145 on July 11 and 12, and 150 on July 13 to 15, but alas, this has been scaled back. The latest forecast calls for solar flux at 110 on July 12 to 14, then 105, 110, 115 and 120 on July 15 to 18, 125 on July 19 and 20, then 120, 110 and 105 on July 21 to 23, 100 on July 24 and 25, 105 on July 26, 110 on July 27 and 28, then 120, 125 and 130 on July 29 to 31.

OK1HH of the Czech Propagation Interest Group has his own geomagnetic forecast, and he foresees a mostly quiet geomagnetic field on July 12, active to disturbed on July 13, quiet to active July 14, quiet July 15, mostly quiet July 16, quiet to unsettled July 17, quiet to active July 18, quiet to unsettled July 19, active to disturbed July 20, quiet to active July 21, quiet to unsettled July 22, quiet July 23 and 24, quiet to unsettled July 25, quiet to active July 26, quiet to unsettled July 27 and 28, quiet July 29 to 31, mostly quiet August 1, quiet to active August 2, active to disturbed August 3, quiet August 4 and 5, and active to disturbed again on August 6 and 7. Carl Luetzelschwab, K9LA is now hosting the installation file for the W6ELprop Propagation Prediction Program, which is free, and runs on computers running the Windows operating system. The file disappeared from the W6EL web page, and now you can find it by going to http://k9la.us/ and clicking on Tutorials on the left side. The file is W6ELPropInst270.exe. Ted Leaf, K6HI sent a link to an article about a large sunspot group, http://earthsky.org/space/large-sunspot-group-comes-into-view. The article says activity in the Sun's southern hemisphere is finally picking up. It goes on to claim that this could be an indication of a double sunspot peak, with a second peak emerging as late as early 2014. I would love to see our Sun peppered with energetic spots. Unfortunately in this cycle, when they do emerge they tend to be weak, evidence of the overall listless nature of this cycle. K9LA talks about a second peak in his article from May 2013 at http://k9la.us/Will_Cycle_24_Have_a_Second_Peak.pdf .

[DX-NEWS] ARLP027 Propagation de K7RA
frequently as they are in the usual one Es hop zone. There is a discussion of this here: http://www.uksmg.org/content/doughnut.htm Later the same day, Jon wrote: Some aurora this evening, the first I have worked since fall of 2011. On 6 meters I heard WI9WI, AA9A, KC0CF, WB0RMO/b, a EN26 station on SSB, and K9WKW via Aurora from Lawrence, KS from 0030-0130 UTC June 29. I worked WA9LFO EN54 (who answered my CQ) on 50.098 MHz at 0107 UTC. I was portable with 100 watts and a 2 element Yagi from a nice hill top west of Lawrence overlooking the Kansas River valley to the north. This aurora was not 'predicted.' It seemed to occur when the Bz went way south the afternoon of the 28th. And this week, six meter newcomer Howard Lester, N7SO of Schuylerville, New York (FN33) wrote: HEY! It was my first ever 6 meter opening. I made a whole bunch of contacts from 2330-0100 to as far west as Missouri, and as far south as Florida. On DX Watch at around 2310 Thursday night, July 3 I noticed that a few contacts were being made on 6 meters, so I decided to listen. A newcomer to 6 with my loop antenna at 15 feet, I heard some signals coming through, starting with a W4. Since I have only the little loop for an antenna, and not very high, I didn't expect much for myself. At first, my expectations were confirmed, but in a few minutes I made contact with my first ever 'DX' on 6 with two fellows in Knoxville, Tennessee, and got a good report from both. Over the course of the next two hours I worked twelve stations in nine states on both phone and CW, as far west as Des Moines, Iowa, southeast to Knoxville, and south to north Florida - all with good reports. Granted, some or most of the stations I worked have more sizeable antennas, though one was a mobile in northern Illinois, who I worked on July 4 at 0115. He was my final contact for the night. There seemed to be no pattern, no shifting around of the available propagation; it just 'opened up.' I could hear Southern stations working up into Ontario and Quebec, and I didn't notice them working anyone to their west. Overall, I sure had a lot of fun. And finally, regarding my report last week of my casual Field Day operation as 1C class mobile, it probably didn't meet the requirements for 1C class. I was able to drive around the cemetery dragging the counterpoise wires, but the screwdriver antenna hanging out the rear passenger window seems a bit much, so it would probably be classed as a portable operation.

was the most consistently loud JA here. A few signals from Central Asia were loud, such as UN/UP's. Around 1350 UTC I returned to loud signals from all of Asia including Japan, which is fairly rare for this QTH, but had occurred several times the week before. Activity between Europe calling CQ and Asians extended from 21.0 to 21.07 MHz! I don't think JA ever faded out completely all afternoon, but signals weakened about 1545 UTC. Our toughest area, Southeast Asia around 1500 UTC was quite loud, working three 9V1's with 9V1YC over S9! XW0YJY was heard, but I could not break thru the European pile-up. All total, I worked 58 Japanese prefixes and 19 from Asiatic Russia where activity was somewhat less than expected. Almost every night, there is a good 20 meter opening to western Asia and Europe/Russia/Ukraine and Scandinavia from 0200-0400 UTC. Some of the DX worked late in the evening here include on June 11 FK8DD/M, ES5, ER3, UY5, OM3, then on 15 meters RA3TO/P and IZ7. On June 13, RV9CPB/9 on 17. June 14 featured ES3, EU7, and SM0 on 17 meter phone followed by on 15 meters, SM6, YL2, R4, RX4, RV9, RM5, HA8, UA6, UA4, UR4, R8, RZ6, UT9, UR0, and UA3T ending at 0312 UTC. The sporadic E season on 6 meters has been disappointing. I missed European openings on June 13. On the June 19, W6XK in CM97 and N6JK in CM98 were logged on 6 meter CW around 0230 UTC. Finally, on June 23 and 24 we had a good opening to South America and Mexico, all multi-hop Es. At 2102 UTC, I worked PV8ADI with a S7 signal, the first ever Brazilian for me on Es; he stayed in for an amazing 2 hours plus longer! Then, 9Y4VU was found on SSB at 2107. YV1 was also heard along with VP2V. CO2WF was logged at 2304. Between 2331 UTC and 0039 UTC, five XEs over a wide area were worked mostly in XE2, good for some new grids. On June 24, PV8 was heard again with FM5WD being logged at 2224 UTC. Thanks, Jeff! He mentions years of disappointment regarding working Asia, but here where I am on the West Coast, this is not a problem. This is just like Europe being easy to work from the East Coast.

[DX-NEWS] ARLP021 Propagation de K7RA
have seen all of the solar peaks since 1956. What I have to say, however, is that I had absolutely no expectation of what cycle 20 might be like. The reason was that when I was a sophomore in high school in 1958, I had NO IDEA what sunspots were. I started working DX in 1956 with 90 watts and a low 40M dipole. I was on 20M CW ONLY. No worries about other bands, what might be open, what long paths might be open. Just listen and work what I heard. It was just a few high school friends and me; we had very little contact with local DXers. Eventually, I ran into W6MX (Honor Roll 1955) and W6BAX, a serious DXer and learned a few things. Soon, I put up a 2 element 20M beam, and then I had to worry about where to point it. Still, it took more than 2 years to work DXCC. Things will never be the same.
