For those who are not familiar with thisthe DIGEST version is a once a day download of the previous 24 hours DXR postings. You get everything in one package as opposed to numerous messages. The one downside...you can not should not reply as you'll send the entire digest to the list. Anyway..let me know if you are interested and I will subscribe you to the digest. Let me know if want to unsubscribe from the main DXR list at that time as well. If so, I'll take of that as well Take careGud DX 73, Steve - KF2TI Proud member of PETA People Eating Tasty Animals Come and see the violence inherent in the system HELP HELP, I'm being repressed ;-) Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-news To post a message, DX items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives available at http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news%40pro-usa.net/ This is the DXR reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
Re: [DXR] Fw: Notice of Plaque for Chuck Brady
Hear hear!!! If anyone deserves recognition its N4BQW!!! Chuck's operation was a great example to us all I never heard Chuck get annoyed or demand anything, blacklist anyone or act in any way other than a perfect gentleman. When you take into account the difficult location, the nature of his stay and his work and the times his antennas were wrecked its amazing he kept his cool. Congrats Chuck you deserve the award.

[DXR] ARLP014 Propagation de K7VVV
SB PROP @ ARL $ARLP014 ARLP014 Propagation de K7VVV ZCZC AP14 QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 14 ARLP014 >From Tad Cook, K7VVV Seattle, WA March 30, 2001 To all radio amateurs SB PROP ARL ARLP014 ARLP014 Propagation de K7VVV This has been an amazing week of high solar activity. For some time now the assumption has been that activity was declining from last year's peak, but now it seems that cycle 23 did not peak and then begin declining in 2000 after all. This week's activity was so remarkable that we put out mid-week bulletin ARLP013 a few days ago to report it. The peak solar flux values in 2000 were 262 on May 17 and 261.9 on July 18. Then on Monday of this week a growing region 9393 produced a new high for cycle 23 of 263.7. The next two days produced even higher solar flux numbers of 273.4 and 273.5, breaking the cycle 23 record two more times. The highest recorded solar flux for the week was actually at 2300z on Wednesday, at 293.8, but this one does not count because the official daily number is always taken at 2000z in Penticton, B.C. It is interesting to look at the progression of all the recent solar flux numbers, including the morning and afternoon readings. Beginning at 1700z on March 18, and running through 2300z Thursday, March 29, they were 135.3, 139.8, 143.1, 145.4, 147.0, 147.9, 157.2, 153.3, 158.1, 154.2, 159.4, 160.3, 180.4, 183.0, 184.0, 178.9, 180.0, 179.8, 201.1, 218.7, 216.6, 248.9, 216.8, 229.5, 247.6, 263.7, 261.1, 271.6, 273.4, 276.3, 272.4, 273.5, 293.8, 261.0, 261.7, and 276.1. We have not seen a value as high as 293.8 since the period of January 30 through February 2, 1992 when they were 280, 303, 284 and 288. Sunspot numbers also went very high this week, peaking at 352 on Wednesday. This is not a record for cycle 23, which had a higher sunspot number of 401 on July 20, 2000. The cause of all this excitement is an explosion in the number and size of sunspots recently, the largest being region 9393, which is the largest sunspot to appear in the last 10 years. Astronomers rate the size of sunspots in terms of millionths of the sun's earth- facing hemisphere. A big sunspot measures 300 to 500 millionths, and 9393 registered about 2400 millionths on March 29. The biggest spot of the current cycle, until now, was 9169 which measured 2140 millionths on September 20, 2000. There is also a statistic for the total area of all the visible spots, and that has been growing steadily and is still growing. The numbers for March 23 through 29 were 1210, 1760, 1870, 2290, 2830, 3830 and 3940. Unfortunately, while earlier in the week we were blessed with low geomagnetic indices (indicating good HF radio conditions and low absorption), a frequent byproduct of high solar activity is solar flares, and a bombardment of protons. The high A indices of last week are back again, and there is more activity predicted for the next few days due to a coronal mass ejection from sunspot 9393 on Wednesday. The probable planetary A index for Friday and Saturday is 50, dropping to 30 on Sunday and 15 on Monday. Predicted solar flux for the next few days (Friday through Monday) is 260, 255, 250 and 245. These numbers are difficult to predict though, because there is so much new activity. Quite a bit of email was received this week (via [EMAIL PROTECTED]) concerning propagation reports. Most reported bands open louder and longer. Of course, it helps that this activity follows the spring equinox, when the northern and southern hemispheres are each receiving a lot of solar radiation. NG3Q reported working Cocos Keeling (a 10,400 mile path from Cleveland) on Sunday with loud signals. W3FF heard and was called by AP2JBZ in Pakistan on 12 meters, but W3FF was too weak for the AP2 to work him. Nothing remarkable about this, except that W3FF was walking in Northern California and using a handheld antenna and radio. NX9B in Southern Indiana noted that 15 meters was open later than usual when he worked Pakistan at 0340z, and China at 0003z on 10 meters with a dipole. DL9KAC near Bonn on Tuesday said propagation was very good to the Pacific and Asia on 10 and 15 meters. KF4ZAB in N.E. North Carolina had great luck with 35 watts and a ground-mounted vertical working Europe on 10 and 17 meters. 3B8GO in Mauritius noticed a big peak in conditions around the 27th. Unfortunately, the reports from 6 meters were unremarkable. Once geomagnetic conditions quiet down, expect great conditions again, with 20 meters open all night to the west and 15 meters open into the evening. Monitor WWV at 18 minutes after the hour (or call 303-497-3235) and when K indices are 3 or less, good conditions may return. By the averages below, we can see that the average sunspot number for this week was more than double last week's, rising from 101.7 to 248. Average solar flux rose nearly 86 points to 229.9. Average figures one year ago were comparable to this week, although somewhat lower, with sunspot numbers at 237.3 and so
[DXR] Fw: Notice of Plaque for Chuck Brady
On behalf of DXers world-wide, the Magnolia DX Association (www.mdxa.org) has sent an appreciation plaque to Chuck Brady, N4BQW for his one man operation as 3Y0C. We just wanted Chuck to know how much the DX community appreciated his one man operation from Bouvet Island. Chuck endured many hardships and much improvising to allow many thousands of DXers world-wide to make a contact with the VERY rare DXCC entity.
