Re: [DXR] Signal Reports
Ok I concede. 3x2 would have been more accurate. I recall ragchewing with friends on 10 meters during the last solar minimum whose signals were "readable with considerate difficulty", and "very weak" or even "faint". We digress from the point however. The guy was asking whether or not a 2x2 report was acceptable for DXCC. I dare say a 2x1 would even qualify for a valid exchange of signal reports under DXCC. 73/DX, C.

[DXR] T5W on RTTY...
just got away from me; he went QRT just when I had found him, got the rig all set up to go, amp on, etc. Look up at the RITTY display and see "T5W QRT QRT ON RTTY"... that at about 2130 Z or so; about 12:30 AM Somalia time.

SB PROP @ ARL $ARLP025 ARLP025 Propagation de K7VVV ZCZC AP25 QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 25 ARLP025 >From Tad Cook, K7VVV Seattle, WA June 15, 2001 To all radio amateurs SB PROP ARL ARLP025 ARLP025 Propagation de K7VVV Sunspot numbers and solar flux rose this week. Average daily sunspot numbers were up nearly 75 points and average daily solar flux was up over 26 points. The daily sunspot number peaked on Saturday at 250, dipped, and rose again to 249 on Monday. Daily sunspot numbers have not been that high since the big jump in activity around the end of March. Disturbed days were Saturday and Sunday, when planetary A indices were 20, and the planetary K index was five over two 3-hour reporting periods. The high latitude College A index was 28 and 31 over the same two days. Solar flux rose to 194.7 on Thursday, but is expected to dip below 170 this weekend. Predicted planetary A index is 10 for Friday and Saturday and 15 for Sunday. On Wednesday a strong solar flare was released from sunspot group 9502. It propelled a coronal mass ejection from the sun's eastern limb, pointed away from earth. The sun is currently covered with small sunspots, and there is a possibility of more flare activity on Friday. Here are some path projections for the All Asia contest this weekend. These are all based on propagation toward Japan. >From the center of the continental U.S., 80 meters 1030-1100 UTC, 40 meters 0930-1200 UTC, 20 meters 0700-1430 UTC, 15 meters best around 0330-0500 UTC, worst 0730-1200 UTC, 10 meters possibly 1500-1700 and 2100-2200 UTC. >From Atlanta, 40 meters 1000-1100 UTC, 20 meters 0730-1300 UTC, 15 meters best 0330-0600 UTC and worst around 0200 UTC, 0730-1000 UTC and 1730-1800 UTC, 10 meters possibly open 0300-0430 and 1300-2030 UTC. >From Boston, 20 meters 0730-1230 UTC (best from 0900-1030 UTC), 15 meters best after 1200 UTC, worst 0300-1130 UTC. >From Cleveland, 20 meters 0700-1330 UTC (best from 0900-1130 UTC), 15 meters best after 1230 UTC, worst 0430-1200 UTC, 10 meters possibly 1230-1700 or 1800-2000 UTC. >From Chicago, 40 meters possibly 1000-1100 UTC, 20 meters 0700-1430 UTC (best 0830-1200 UTC), 15 meters best after 1230 UTC, worst 0500- 1200 UTC, 10 meters possibly 1300-1700 or 1800-2030 UTC. >From Dallas, 80 meters 1030-1100 UTC, 40 meters 0930-1200 UTC, 20 meters 0700-1430 UTC, 15 meters open 24 hours, best 0330-0500 UTC, worst 0800-1130 and 1330-1830 UTC, 10 meters possibly 0330-0500 or 1330-2100 or 2200-0100 UTC. >From Southern California (San Diego), 80 meters 0930-1230 UTC, 40 meters 0930-1330 UTC, 20 meters 0630-1600 UTC, 15 meters open all hours, best 0500-0800 UTC, worst 1500-1530 UTC, 10 meters possibly 0500-0800, 1500-1630, and 1930-0230 UTC. >From San Francisco, 80 meters 1000-1300 UTC, 40 meters 0900-1400 UTC, 20 meters 0630-1630 UTC, 15 meters open all hours, best 0530- 0830 UTC, worst 1100-1230 UTC, 10 meters possibly 1530-1600 UTC or 2000-2300 UTC. >From Seattle, 80 meters 1030-1230 UTC, 40 meters 0930-1330 UTC, 20 meters 0630-1700 UTC, 15 meters possibly 1300-1900 UTC or 0500-0930 UTC. >From Omaha, 40 meters 1000-1130 UTC, 20 meters 0700-1500 UTC, 15 meters open all hours, best 0400-0700 UTC and 1500-1800 UTC, worst 0730-1430 UTC. >From Salt Lake City, 80 meters 1000-1200 UTC, 40 meters 0930-1300 UTC, 20 meters 0630-1630 UTC, 15 meters open all hours, best around 0500 UTC, weakest 0830-1430 UTC.

RE: [DXR] Signal Reports
Well... I hate to say this, but a ragchew with a station that is 2x2 is by definition not possible, you can ragchew with a station that is 5x2 or 4x2, and with some efforts on your part you may ragchew with some one that is 3x2; but 2x2, please give a break. The R-S-T system, when properly used has the following meaning: Readability R1 Unreadable. R2 Barely readable, occasional words distinguishable. R3 Readable with considerable difficulty. R4 Readable with practically no difficulty. R5 Perfectly readable. Signal strength S1 Faint, signals barely readable S2 Very weak signals S3 Weak signals S4 Fair signals S5 Fairly good signals S6 Good signals S7 Moderately strong signals S8 Strong signals S9 Extremely strong signals Tone Tl Extremely rough hissing note T2 Very rough ac note, not musical T3 Rough, low-pitched ac note, mod. music T4 Rather rough ac note, mod. musical T5 Musically modulated note T6 Modulated note, slight trace of whistle T7 Near dc note, smooth ripple T8 Good dc note, just a trace of ripple T9 Purest dc note And there is no way that you or any one else can have a meaningful conversation when only "occasional words are distinguishable"; that of course, unless you, or any one claming that can do it, can read minds to know what the other party is saying, and in that case you don't need a radio. The problem now days is that the RST system is ofthen misused. 73/DX Jose (Joe), YV5LIX SYSOP YV5LIX's BBS, active 1988-1998, 2001 Telnet: yv5lix.no-ip.com 4070 eQSL Advisory Board.

[DXR] Subscribing To Reflectors
I'm in the process of changing internet services and am attempting to subscribe under my new service to the forums. I sent the subscribe message, got back the needs confirmation message, confirmed, and got "Welcome To" messages for 160, 80, DX, and Antennas. I am receiving messages on the 80 meter reflector but so far nothing else. I know there are messages on the others because I'm still receiving them on AOL. I did this yesterday. Is it too soon or do I need to do something else? Merv
Re: [DXR] Signal Reports
If you were rag chewing with them and had good copy then the correct report would be 52. A readability number of 2 is somewhere BELOW "readable with extreme difficulty (readability 3)" but I don't remember the exact wording. Probably on the order of "detectable" with occasional words or letters copied. More of a condition where call signs and reports might be 'verifiable' but any unknown information would be indistinguishable. Tom N4KG On Fri, 15 Jun 2001 09:05:49 -0400 "C.
