[DX-NEWS] [425ENG] IOTA Notice * January 2007
425 DX NEWS 425 DX News is available in the following languages: English * Italian * Japanese * Portuguese * Russian * Spanish _ We wish all our readers and their families a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year 2007 - ANNUAL UPDATE Yes, it is here again. The last date for mailing applications or updates to checkpoints for inclusion in the 2007 Honour Roll and other performance tables is 1 February 2007. If postmarked after that date, they will be processed in the normal way but the scores will be held over to the following appearance. Listing in the tables is restricted to those members who have updated their scores at least once in the previous five years. In the case of the 2007 tables this means since the 2002 annual listings. If you wish to remain listed, check to see that you qualify and, if not, make a submission on or before 1 February 2007. The tables will appear on the RSGB IOTA website in the early Summer. - UPDATES FEBRUARY ONWARDS After the Annual Update we will transfer the IOTA database on to new software which provides for on-line application. From that point on it will not be possible for checkpoints to import the text files generated by the old IOTAMEM software, so please do NOT send these in after the end of January. In fact it is best to hold updating until May at the earliest when we plan for guidance to be available on how to submit on-line. And, please, in case the thought crosses your mind, do not submit on paper in an attempt to circumvent use of IOTAMEM! Word is around that the administration charges for submitting on paper will be increased early in 2007. - NEW IOTA REFERENCE NUMBERS ISSUED AF-103 C9Zambezia District group (Mozambique) NA-237 KLSouthern Alaska Peninsula East group (Alaska) NA-238 KLSouthern Alaska Peninsula Centre group (Alaska) NA-241 KLWade-Hampton County group (Alaska) - PROVISIONAL IOTA REFERENCE NUMBERS ACTIVATED (BUT NOT CONFIRMED) AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2006 Nil - OPERATIONS WHICH HAVE PROVIDED ACCEPTABLE VALIDATION MATERIAL AF-027 TX6A Mayotte Island (October 2006) AF-103 C94KF Inhacamba Island (August 2006) AS-126 E21EIC/P Lipe Island (December 2006) AS-126 E21YDP/P Lipe Island (December 2006) AS-126 HS0EHF/P Lipe Island (December 2006) EU-183 YP1W Sacalinu Mare Island (July/August 2006) NA-004 KL7HBK/P Endeavor (Endicott) Island (October 2006) NA-010 VE1/F5AHO Cape Breton Island (September 2006) NA-010 VE1/F5PAC Cape Breton Island (September 2006) NA-029 VY2/F5AHO Prince Edward Island (September 2006) NA-029 VY2/F5PAC Prince Edward Island (September 2006) NA-068 VE9/F5AHO Lameque Island (September 2006) NA-068 VE9/F5PAC Lameque Island (September 2006) NA-081 VE1/F5AHO Big Tancook Island (September 2006) NA-081 VE1/F5PAC Big Tancook Island (September 2006) NA-115 XF4K Clarion Island (November 2006) NA-126 VE1/F5AHO Johns Island (September 2006) NA-126 VE1/F5PAC Johns Island (September 2006) NA-127 VE1/F5AHO Brier Island (September 2006) NA-127 VE1/F5PAC Brier Island (September 2006) NA-154 VE1/F5AHO George Island (September 2006) NA-154 VE1/F5PAC Hog Island (September 2006) NA-197 K7AFox Island (August 2006) NA-237 W5BOS/NL0 Ugaiushak Island (August 2006) NA-238 W5BOS/AL0 Unavikshak Island (August 2006) NA-241 K7ANeragon Island, Sand Islands (July 2006) OC-062 FO5RH Pukapuka Atoll, Tuamotu Islands (September 2005) OC-114 FO/KM9DRaivavae Island, Austral Islands (July/August 2006) OC-115 P29NI Kiriwina Island, Trobriand Islands (October 2006) OC-153 P29VCX Daru Island (October 2006) OC-187 VK4CSP/P Lizard Island (October 2006) OC-245 YE5R Rupat Island (July 2006) OC-258 P29K Kranket Island (March 2006) Note: This list includes operations where validation material was volunteered, ie not specifically required for credit to be given.

[DX-NEWS] [425ENG] ARLP031 Propagation de K7RA
425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE The latest issue (June 2006) is now available at www.425dxn.org/monthly/ _ SB PROP ARL ARLP031 ARLP031 Propagation de K7RA Last Friday, July 28, a high speed solar wind stream hit earth, and created a geomagnetic disturbance that drove the planetary and mid-latitude A index up to 29 and 26, respectively. This actually began in the early hours of Friday UTC, which was Thursday afternoon and early evening in North America. Both mid-latitude and planetary K index rose to six. If you noticed some periods of high absorption, or when the only propagation seemed to occur north to south, that would be why. Now we are moving slowly toward the fall equinox, and HF radio conditions tend to get better when the hours of light and darkness are equal between the northern and southern hemispheres. This week we saw the average daily sunspot number rise over five points to 20. We will see little variations like this as the solar cycle declines toward its minimum next year. Solar activity still seems too high to be at the bottom though. A glance at graphs of smoothed sunspot numbers shows we are still experiencing more sunspots than the minimum back in 1996. Check the graph at http://wm7d.net/hamradio/solar/historical.shtmlhttp://wm7d.net/hamradio/solar/historical.shtml on the very bottom of the page, and http://www.sec.noaa.gov/weekly/pdf/prf1613.pdfhttp://www.sec.noaa.gov/weekly/pdf/prf1613.pdf on page 9. Further down on page 9, you can see that the prediction for the smoothed sunspot number for August 2006 is the same as for August of next year, and the minimum is somewhere in between. That means according to this graph, a year from now the new solar cycle will be bouncing back from the minimum, and rising past the point where we are now. The smoothed numbers are averaged over many months (I think this graph uses a moving six-month average) to help us see past the ''noise'' of daily variations. This graph shows a minimum in January 2007, only five months from now, with a smoothed sunspot number of five. July is over, so we can look at some monthly averages of sunspot numbers and solar flux. The average daily sunspot numbers for the months July 2005 through July 2006 were 68.7, 65.6, 39.2, 13, 32.2, 62.6, 26.7, 5.3, 21.3, 55.2, 39.6, 24.4 and 22.6. Average daily solar flux for the same months was 96.5, 92.4 , 91.9, 76.6, 86.3, 90.8, 83.4, 76.5, 75.5, 88.9, 80.9, 76.5 and 75.8. Over the past week I've been playing with the excellent HF radio propagation software, ACE-HF Pro, written by Richard Buckner. ACE is an acronym: Animated Communications Effectiveness, and it was originally written for VLF communication with submarines. This program is really a treat. ACE-HF Pro is based on software that Buckner wrote for military and commercial clients while at Collins Radio, and it uses the VOACAP engine. He has a new version 2.05 out, which is much more Windows-friendly than earlier versions. With it, you can produce colorful graphs that make it easy to visualize propagation over time and space, and users can even animate the results to produce a movie of signal coverage over time. Unlike other propagation programs I've used, it also makes 160-meter predictions, and attempts to predict sporadic-E skip. Tomas Hood, NW7US, who writes the monthly Propagation column for CQ Magazine, did some detailed reviews of ACE-HF in the May and July issues. He also has reviews online at http://hfradio.org/ace-hf/http://hfradio.org/ace-hf/ . Among the interesting and unusual features is the ability to factor antenna radiation patterns into the calculations of propagation paths. David Mays, W8UI of St. Marys, West Virginia sent some big beacon lists for HF and six meters, put together by G3USF. See them at http://www.keele.ac.uk/depts/por/28.htmhttp://www.keele.ac.uk/depts/por/28.htm and http://www.keele.ac.uk/depts/por/50.htmhttp://www.keele.ac.uk/depts/por/50.htm. Also, Bruce Brackin, N5SIX of Brandon, Mississippi commented on Larry Godek, W0OGH and his wish for a database of 10-meter repeaters searchable by frequency, all across North America, rather than lists sorted by state. This would help him identify the location of 10 meter repeaters when they appear. David recommends getting the ARRL TravelPlus CD, then exporting the data to a CVS file and sorting it in a spreadsheet program.

ARLP028 Propagation de K7RA
Sunspot numbers and solar flux declined this week. Average daily sunspot
numbers dropped 10 points to 25.6, and average solar flux was down nearly
11 points. There were no remarkable geomagnetic disturbances. July 9 saw
a weak solar wind from a coronal mass ejection, followed by another period
two days later, but every day the IMF pointed north, protecting Earth's
geomagnetic field.
The latest forecast calls for solar flux around 70 over the next week,
lower than it has been lately. Sunspot numbers should also be
low. Predicted planetary A index for July 14 is 8, and then 5 for the next
week.
Eric Hall, K9GY of Lansing, Illinois reminds 6-meter operators (or anyone
with a 6-meter radio for that matter) to operate the CQ World Wide VHF
Contest this weekend.
Six meters continues to amaze. July 12 saw great openings, with European
stations working North America. A check of 6-meter DX spots for the
previous 36 hours on July 13 at
http://www.dxers.info/http://www.dxers.info/ showed several thousand
entries over a 24-hour period. EH8BPX in Canary Islands showed up 35 times
in 36 hours, entries either from or about him. He seemed to work many
stations on the East Coast and in the Midwest.

Sunspot numbers for July 6 through 12 were 34, 35, 34, 33, 18, 13 and 12
with a mean of 25.6. 10.7 cm flux was 85, 79.9, 77.4, 74.6, 72.8, 71.2, and
70.6, with a mean of 75.9. Estimated planetary A indices were 11, 6, 3, 5,
11, 7 and 12 with a mean of 7.9. Estimated mid-latitude A indices were 7,
5, 2, 5, 12, 5 and 9, with a mean of 6.4.

425 DX NEWS MAGAZINE The latest issue (January 2006) is now available at www.425dxn.org/monthly/ _ SB PROP ARL ARLP007 ARLP007 Propagation de K7RA Average daily sunspot numbers this week rose over 7 points to 9, but this doesn't mean much. Check out http://www.sec.noaa.gov/ftpdir/indices/DSD.txthttp://www.sec.noaa.gov/ftpdir/indices/DSD.txt to see how many days with a blank sun were noted over the last thirty days. Plan on seeing even longer stretches of 0 sunspots over the next year. A couple of years from now we should see a new cycle 24 rising faster than this old one declined. Check out a great website showing sketches of sunspots drawn in 1612 by Galileo Galilei, http://galileo.rice.edu/sci/observations/sunspot_drawings.htmlhttp://galileo.rice.edu/sci/observations/sunspot_drawings.html. The coolest part is the arrangement of the sketches into a sort of flip-book animation, which you can view with any media player such as Windows Media Player or Apple QuickTime. This gives us a reproduction of what the sun was doing over the 35 days that Galileo made these sketches. What a remarkable thing. The ARRL International DX CW Contest is on for this weekend. Sunspot 854 is pointing straight at us, but it is tiny. For an idea of the relative area covered by this spot, check the web site mentioned in the first paragraph above, and look at the Sunspot Area shown in the fourth column, relative to sunspot area in January. Look for sunspot numbers and solar flux to rise only slightly, if at all, and for quiet geomagnetic conditions. Sunday, February 19 should give us only slightly unsettled geomagnetic conditions. Based on the previous solar rotation, Wednesday, February 22 looks like it may show some fairly active geomagnetic conditions. Geophysical Institute Prague predicts slightly different conditions, with February 19 unsettled to active, and February 21 and 22 just unsettled. They think today and tomorrow, February 17 and 18, will be quiet. They predict quiet to unsettled conditions for February 20 and 23.

The DX spots collection - from January 1997 up to October 2005 - is available at www.425dxn.org/dxspots/, as well the relevant software ZCZC AP49 QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 49 ARLP049 From Tad Cook, K7RA Seattle, WA November 23, 2005 To all radio amateurs SB PROP ARL ARLP049 ARLP049 Propagation de K7RA This bulletin is early because of the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. The usual data appearing at the bottom of this weekly bulletin will come out in an additional bulletin on Monday, November 28, 2005. Geomagnetic indicators, the A and K index, have remained low. This is good for HF propagation and with low sunspot numbers lowering the MUF (Maximum Usable Frequency), perfect for long range communication on 160 and 80 meters. Average sunspot numbers in the six days since the last bulletin were 50.3, nearly 30 points above the average reported in the previous bulletin. The daily solar flux went just above 100 on November 17-19, the days when large sunspot 822 was passing across the center of the visible solar disk, and exerting maximum influence. Solar flux is expected to decline over the next week. Predicted solar flux over the next few days is 95, 90 and 85 for November 23-25, and 80 through the end of the month. Geomagnetic numbers (and disturbances) are expected to remain low. Expect mid latitude K index of 3 or less and A index at 10 or below until the end of the month, when we may see higher geomagnetic activity around November 30 to December 1. More mail was received this week about 10 meter propagation and beacon stations. Kevin Seeger, WD0AVV lives in Southern California and thinks more of us should pay attention to ten meters, even though we are headed toward the bottom of the solar cycle. He says the first thing he does when checking ten is to listen for beacon stations, which are mostly between 28.2 and 28.3 MHz. Since they transmit constantly from many locations, this is a good indicator of openings that might only occur between your location and some particular area or region. Kevin says that on November 5 at 8:00 AM local time (1600z) he copied these beacon stations, and at the end of the day he was still receiving most of them: K4UKB 28.276 W4TIY 28.272 K4AIS 28.270 W3HH 28.269 W4JPL 28.253 KG4YUV 28.253 WK4DS 28.222 If you look up the call sign of a beacon station on www.qrz.com, you'll see that often there are links to personal web pages and information about the beacon operation. For instance, WK4DS, David Saylors, has links showing his 2 watt beacon which is a popular low power 10 meter mobile transceiver hooked to a keyer. There are also links showing some impressive telegraph keys that David builds in his machine shop in Trenton, Georgia. Using Google you can find many resources on ten meter beacons. The Northern California DX Foundation runs their impressive worldwide beacon network on 28.2 MHz, and here you can quickly judge worldwide ten meter propagation. The Ten-Ten International Net, which has been energetically promoting ten meters for over 40 years, has an extensive list of ten meter beacon stations at http://www.ten-ten.org/beacons.html. By the way, the author of your bulletin was introduced to Ten-Ten by the original K7RA (at that time W7EXM, Homer Spence) in 1971, and obtained the member number 5569. Last week's bulletin mentioned long nighttime propagation on ten meters observed from New York to Oklahoma. Several people wrote in about this, including Jon Jones, N0JK, who says E-layer propagation was the most likely mode. On that same morning, November 14, strong E-layer propagation was reported on both 10 and 6 meters. He notes that at 15:55z N4LI in EM55 (in Tennessee) reported hearing loud ten meter propagation all up and down the eastern seaboard. At 16:09z W5TDN in EM22 (in Texas) reported hearing WB3ANT (FN21) and W3MEL (FN10), both in Pennsylvania.

Release
November 17, 2005
ATTEMPT TO ACTIVATE MARKET REEF ON LOW BANDS
The Finnish quartet of OH0RJ, OH2BH, OH2BO and OH2PM will attempt a boat
landing onto this barren rock from November 22-24, 2005 in their effort to
put OJ0B and OJ0J on the low bands, both CW and SSB, for one week,
including the CQ World Wide DX contest. If landing is not successful by
Thursday, the 24th, the operation will not take place this season.
The last winter season low-band activity from Market Reef was in 1988. One
of the team members in that year, John, W2GD was injured and had to be
airlifted out of the rock by rescue helicopter. With tightened aviation
regulations, it is now impossible to carry petrol or any sizable objects,
such as antenna masts, alongside the helicopter body; hence small boat
landing remains the only potential choice. The ground temperature is below
freezing and the sea is ice-cold and about to freeze, with high winds at
this time of the year. As of November 17, first snow of about 4 inches fell
on the Aland Archipelago.
You can monitor the Market Reef weather at:
http://www.kolumbus.fi/oh2bn/pagemarket.htm
With no jetty or other potential landing point, the group is forced to use
a zodiac and land at whatever corner of the reef they find calmer, and send
their boat back to Aland Islands immediately after a successful landing.
They will be taken back by helicopter, weather permitting, after the
contest, November 28. The high cost of the overall transport is partly
offset by the Northern California DX Foundation (NCDXF).
Please note that at the very best, the challenge will also be at your end
of the circuit. Market Reef along with Finland is located at 60 degrees
North inside the aurora oval. According to the statistics, the area is
usually suffering the aurora for an average of 100 days a year. This time
the geomagnetic conditions are expected to be favorable for LF since the
operation is scheduled to take place between the impacts of recurrent
coronal holes 194 and 195 (STAR tags).
Operating frequencies are harmonized with the R1MVW group and are as follows:
CW: 1812.5 and 1834.5, 3512 and 3544, 7012 and 7034, 10112, 14034,
18082, 21034, 24894 and 28034 kHz
SSB: 1855, 3798, 7080, 14190, 18140, 21290, 24940, 28490 kHz
QSL routing: OJ0B via OH2BH and OJ0J via OH0RJ
Aland Islands, November 18-21, 2005
Martti, OH2BH and Ville, OH2MM will be active this coming weekend from OH0
making preparations for the Market Reef outing and the CQWW CW contest.
Ville will activate OH0MM in the CQWW all-band category. QSL OH0B via OH2BH
and OH0MM via OH2MM.

[DX-NEWS] [425ENG] Peter I * Press Release #2006-4
The DX spots collection - from January 1997 up to October 2005 - is available at www.425dxn.org/dxspots/, as well the relevant software Date: November 13, 2005 From: Team co-leaders: Ralph Fedor, KØIR and Bob Allphin, K4UEE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Since our last announcement much has been accomplished toward our goal of activating Peter I early next year. In September, fourteen of the team met for four days in Atlanta to practice erecting the arctic shelters, the low band antennas, check out the generators and other critical equipment and to begin packing the crates for shipment. In addition, a total of ten hours were spent in classrooms discussing safety, offloading procedures and priorities, fundraising, recruiting, our current budget and the status of our vessel and helicopter arrangements. There was also time for team bonding, as we assimilated three new team members: FM5CD, N6JRL and W8MV. During the month of October, we received the great news that Gary Stouder, K9SG, our team physician from the 2005 team would be able to join us again. Also, Al Hernandez, K3VN, a veteran of many Antarctic dxpeditions and an old friend has joined the team. We are pleased to have them both and they bring our number to twenty men. We have room for two more operators and as many as four other travelers who may want to go along, set foot on the island, help with the camp set-up, enjoy the travel experience, but not actually be part of the operating team. They would remain on the vessel. Contact Bob, K4UEE by clicking HERE if you have an interest in either opportunity. Our 40 foot shipping container has been packed and is now on it's way to Chile. After returning from South America earlier this year, we completely unpacked everything, sorted, prioritized all of our equipment and then repacked. It was a huge job, but it will be worth the effort when we arrive at Peter I. The container contains exactly 11 tons of equipment, and personal gear. Our contract calls for 16 days at Peter I. The weather will dictate our actual schedule, but we are projecting that we will be 12-14 days on the air. We have developed a quick strike plan that will enable two stations on the air quickly even if we have weather conditions that prevent the entire camp from being constructed immediately. Ultimately, we plan to have nine stations on the air and a complement of 23 antennas. This doesn't include the recent decision to make a real effort on 6m, 2m and 70cm EME. For the first time, we can give approximate dates of our operation. The team will assemble in Punta Arenas on Jan. 29th and shortly afterward, fly to the Chilean Naval Base on King George Island, South Shetland Islands. We will board our vessel there and sail to Peter I. We expect to have two stations on the air from the vessel operating…. /MM. We hope to arrive at Peter I around February 6th to begin our16 day stay. Please remember that these dates are approximate and depend on many variables including, of course, the weather and sea ice conditions. One of our goals is to do what we can to help the DX community feel a part of this 3Y0X experience. We're going to be enjoying a once in a lifetime adventure, and although it will at times be tough and maybe a little scary, the adventure is something that motivates every member of our team. We want you, the DX community, to enjoy more than just a QSO or two, but to be able to live this adventure along with us. In an effort to do that, we are planning daily updates from the island along with photographs of what we are experiencing. In addition, through the technology of Iridium Satellite, we are hoping to provide periodic videos from the island as well. It seems to us that through video you can experience so much more. This may be the most expensive DXpedition ever. We solicit your support! Please check out the Peter I website, www.peterone.com and catch up on the news. There are many pictures of our recent training session in Atlanta and of the container packing and shipping. Also, if you want to be a part of the adventure by contributing financially, click on one of the yellow Contribute buttons.

425 DX NEWS CALENDAR interactive version of the 425 DX News Calendar is now up and running on the website of ARI Scandicci. Go to http://www.ariscandicci.it/modules.php?name=425dxnop=wcal _ ZCZC AP33 QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 33 ARLP033 From Tad Cook, K7RA Seattle, WA August 5, 2005 To all radio amateurs SB PROP ARL ARLP033 ARLP033 Propagation de K7RA Average daily sunspot numbers rose over 68 points this week to 83.7, when compared to last week's numbers. Note this is four weeks after the recent large number of sunspots around the beginning of July, which corresponds to the rotation of the sun relative to Earth. That area of the sun is now back in view, but with sunspots diminished. The reporting week began with heightened geomagnetic activity on July 28, but it quieted down. Prediction for the next few days is for solar flux to remain above 100, which is expected until August 10. Current geomagnetic conditions are slightly unsettled, but after August 10 are predicted to be quiet. Barring any unexpected solar flare, expect good conditions, at least relative to recent HF propagation at this lower spot on the solar cycle. Also note that the Northern Hemisphere is about half way between the longest day of the year and the fall equinox, and fall is good for HF propagation. July ended this week, so now is a good time to look at monthly averages to see if we can spot trends. What we see is a tremendous variation from month-to-month, with a rise in average sunspot and solar flux numbers for July, due to the unusually large number of sunspots early in the month. The average daily sunspot numbers for the months October 2004 through July 2005 were 77.9, 70.5, 34.7, 52, 45.4, 41, 41.5, 65.4, 59.8 and 68.7. Average daily solar flux for the same months was 106, 113.7, 95, 102.3, 97.2, 89.9, 85.9, 99.5, 93.7 and 96.5. Looked at in isolation, the numbers since early 2005 almost suggest a rising solar cycle. The overall trend for the remainder of this sunspot cycle will be down, and it becomes more obvious when we average the numbers over a long period. Currently we are looking to reach solar minimum around the end of 2006. Our bulletin has reported this for some time now, and this is based on the table of predicted smoothed sunspot numbers that appears occasionally in the back of the weekly Preliminary Report and Forecast from NOAA Space Environment Center, found at http://www.arrl.org/w1aw/prop/http://www.sec.noaa.gov/weekly/index.htmlhttp://www.sec.noaa.gov/weekly/index.html. This week's copy number 1561 at http://www.arrl.org/w1aw/prop/http://www.sec.noaa.gov/weekly/pdf/prf1561.pdfhttp://www.sec.noaa.gov/weekly/pdf/prf1561.pdf contains that table, but I noticed that looking back over the past few years shows the predicted values out to the end of 2007, just as it does today. Look at this table for predicted smoothed sunspot numbers from four years ago, in August 2001, and compare it to the table in the latest issue noted above: http://www.arrl.org/w1aw/prop/http://www.sec.noaa.gov/weekly/pdf2001/prf1354.pdfhttp://www.sec.noaa.gov/weekly/pdf2001/prf1354.pdf Even back in 2001 the predicted low numbers for the end of next year were the same as today's prediction. What changed are the predicted numbers for a few months from now, which are higher than predicted four years ago, and of course the actual smoothed numbers for all that time in between differ also. We must go back to 2000 to find tables that end earlier than 2007. Here is one from August 2000 which ends in 2005: http://www.arrl.org/w1aw/prop/http://www.sec.noaa.gov/weekly/pdf2000/prf1301.pdfhttp://www.sec.noaa.gov/weekly/pdf2000/prf1301.pdf Until I rechecked this, I thought the table was perhaps updated yearly, with another year in the future added on. I have a question in to the NOAA Space Environment Center about this, plus another question about the July 18 report of a sunspot number of -1 that we covered recently. Perhaps next week's bulletin will have more on this. Vic Woodling, WB4SLM wrote about recent VHF DX, but on the FM broadcast band, about half way between our own six and two meter bands. Vic's girlfriend lives near Haysville, North Carolina, in grid square EM85, and around noon local time on Tuesday, August 2 she heard KRKX in Billings, Montana on 94.1 MHz on her car radio. The strong signal was full-quieting, and the KRXK transmitter site is in grid square DN55, a little less than 1500 miles away.
