Re: [DX-NEWS] VP8DX Info?
More like every few months somebody misidentifies the station in the dx cluster. VP8 does not issue 2x2 calls historically, so chances are you either worked a slim if it truly was VP8DX or more likely it was VP8SDX.

[DX-NEWS] ARLP001 Propagation de K7VVV
SB PROP @ ARL $ARLP001 ARLP001 Propagation de K7VVV ZCZC AP01 QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 1 ARLP001 >From Tad Cook, K7VVV Seattle, WA January 4, 2002 To all radio amateurs SB PROP ARL ARLP001 ARLP001 Propagation de K7VVV Because this is the first bulletin of the new year, we'll spend some time reviewing last year. If we look at the average daily solar flux and sunspot numbers for 2001, it was really a very good year with lots of activity, considering that the peak was supposed to be in 2000. Average daily sunspot numbers for the years 1997-2001 were 30.7, 88.5, 136.3, 172.8 and 170.3. Average daily solar flux values for those same years were 81, 117.7, 153.7, 179.5 and 181.6. Given those numbers, both 2000 and 2001 look like peak years for the cycle. Average quarterly sunspot numbers for 2001 were 147.3, 164.8, 170.4 and 198.1. Average quarterly solar flux for the same period was 164.4, 166.7, 175.5 and 219.1, so solar activity increased over the year. Over the past week, average sunspot numbers were up 13 points and average solar flux was about the same. Sunday had unsettled geomagnetic conditions, probably from a flare on Friday. Friday's flare upset the 10.7 cm receiver at the Penticton observatory, which read a solar flux of 655.6 for the day. This was adjusted downward by NOAA SESC to 263. Predicted solar flux for Friday through Monday is 220, 215, 210 and 210. Carl Luetzelschwab K9LA has written another piece explaining basic shortwave propagation principles, titled The Sun, the Earth, the Ionosphere, What the Numbers Mean, and Propagation Predictions - a brief introduction to propagation and the major factors affecting it. Here it is: The Sun emits electromagnetic radiation and matter as a consequence of the nuclear fusion process. Electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths of 100-1000 Angstroms (ultraviolet) ionizes the F region, radiation at 10-100 Angstroms (soft X-rays) ionizes the E region, and radiation at 1-10 Angstroms (hard X- rays) ionizes the D region. Solar matter (which includes charged particles - electrons and protons) is ejected from the Sun on a regular basis, and this comprises the solar wind. On a 'quiet' solar day the speed of this solar wind heading toward Earth averages about 400km per second. The Sun's solar wind significantly impacts the Earth's magnetic field. Instead of being a simple bar magnet, the Earth's magnetic field is compressed by the solar wind on the side facing the Sun and is stretched out on the side away from the Sun (the magnetotail, which extends tens of earth radii downwind). While the Sun's electromagnetic radiation can impact the entire ionosphere that is in daylight, charged particles ejected by the Sun are guided into the ionosphere along magnetic field lines and thus can only impact high latitudes where the magnetic field lines go into the Earth. Additionally, when electromagnetic radiation from the Sun strips an electron off a neutral constituent in the atmosphere, the resulting electron can spiral along a magnetic field line (it spirals around the magnetic field line at the electron gyrofrequency). Thus the Earth's magnetic field plays an important and critical role in propagation. Variations in the Earth's magnetic field are measured by magnetometers. There are two measurements readily available - the daily A index and the 3-hour K index. The A index uses a linear scale and goes from 0 (quiet) to 400 (severe storm). The K index uses a quasi-logarithmic scale (which essentially is a compressed version of the A index) and goes from 0 to 9 (with 0 being quiet and 9 being severe storm). Generally an A index at or below 15 or a K index at or below 3 is best for propagation. Sunspots are areas on the Sun associated with ultraviolet radiation. Thus they are tied to ionization of the F region. The daily sunspot number, when plotted over a month time frame, is very spiky. Averaging the daily sunspot numbers over a month results in the monthly average sunspot number, but it is also rather spiky when plotted. Thus a more averaged, or smoothed, measurement is needed to measure solar cycles. This is the smoothed sunspot number (SSN). The SSN is calculated using 6 months of data before and 6 months of data after the desired month, plus the data for the desired month. Because of this amount of smoothing, the official SSN is one half year behind the current month. Sunspots come and go in an approximate 11-year cycle. The rise to maximum (4 to 5 years) is usually faster than the descent to minimum (6 to 7 years). At and near the maximum of a solar cycle, the increased number of sunspots causes more ultraviolet radiation to impinge on the atmosphere. This results in significantly more F region ionization, allowing the ionosphere to refract higher frequencies (15, 12, 10, and even 6 meters) back to Earth for DX contacts. At and near the minimum between solar cycles, the number of sunspots is so low that higher frequencies go through the

It seems to be a misunderstanding for the qsl manager.K4UTE and about a dozen others list the manager as F6EDO.The ANDX pages says homecall is DL3SE.Even DL5SE turns out to be someone else.Maybe someone knows the correct route.

[DX-NEWS] 4T4V QSL MANAGER???
Hello Roger & Daniel, I'm trying to figure out if you or DL5SE are handling cards for 4T4V that is operating now, Jan. 3, 4,5 2002? The latest DX Bulletins show DL3SE, but when I check QRZ CB lookup, your call appears as being previously going to DL5SE. I'm hoping you can help with this question Roger. Thank you for reading my mail es Happy New Year 2002!!! Maybe Daniel can answer this question??? The call's in question are DL3SE No info anywhere, DL5SE, which comes back to F6EDO. Both Buckmaster and Radio Amateur Callbook CD Winter edition show DL5SE as: Daniel Schirmer, DL5SE Mittelweg 3 D-09573 Erdmannsdorf, FED. REP.
