[IRCA] Fw: ARLP016 Propagation de K7RA
- Original Message - From: W1AW Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: W1AW List: Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 7:05 AM Subject: ARLP016 Propagation de K7RA SB PROP @ ARL $ARLP016 ARLP016 Propagation de K7RA ZCZC AP16 QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 16 ARLP016 From Tad Cook, K7RA Seattle, WA April 13, 2007 To all radio amateurs SB PROP ARL ARLP016 ARLP016 Propagation de K7RA So far this month we've observed 9 days in a row with 0 sunspots, and all of our reporting week for this bulletin (April 5 through 11) falls within this string of inactive solar days. As noted in last week's bulletin, comparing that week's average sunspot number (12.9) to this week's (0) doesn't mean much when activity is so low at the bottom of this sunspot cycle. Based on predicted smoothed sunspot numbers, if this month and the next are truly the solar minimum, we should probably see several weeks in a row with no sunspots. Those hoping for more activity and a return to worldwide propagation on 10 and 15 meters should be cheered by this, because recent observation shows the rise of any solar cycle is faster than its decline, and most importantly, the decline of the previous cycle. Around the last solar minimum, between Cycles 22 and 23, Sun watchers observed several long strings of days showing no sunspots. For instance, from February 10 to March 5, 1997, the average sunspot number was 2.1, and there were 20 days during that period with no sunspots. Prior to that, another long stretch of inactivity occurred in the Fall of 1996. The average daily sunspot number was 1.7 from September 5 to November 8, when 57 of 65 days the Sun showed no spots. The longest continuous stretch with no sunspots at all in that period was 38 days, following September 12, when a single sunspot was visible and ending October 21, when another sunspot appeared. Both those days had an official sunspot number of 11, and each time, the single sunspot was only visible for a single day. This period was preceded and followed by three days of no sunspots, and October 29 through November 8, 1996, also had zero sunspots, followed by December 24 through January 3, 1997. Remember that an average sunspot number of 1 or 2 doesn't correspond to one or two sunspots. Because of the peculiar manner in which sunspot numbers are derived, the minimum non-zero sunspot number on any day is 11. This is because the number of sunspot groups is multiplied by ten, and the resulting number is added to the total number of visible spots. So two spots in one group is 12, three spots is 13, but three spots in two groups yields a sunspot number of 23. To observe the rate that the end of Cycle 22 fell toward minimum and the beginning of Cycle 23 began, it is useful to average sunspot numbers over each quarter. The average sunspot numbers for the years 1993 and 1994 were 79 and 48. The averages for the four quarters of 1995 were 47.4, 25.3, 21 and 21.3. 1996 had 13.1, 13, 12.4 and 14.2. For 1997, the quarterly averages were 11.3, 25.4, 37.2 and 48.2. The quarterly averages of sunspot numbers for the next two years, 1998 and 1999 were 62.9, 80.4 , 111.8, 99.1, 97.2, 147.2, 137.9 and 163.1. You can see that the new cycle rose quickly, beginning in the second quarter of 1997. In practical terms, what is the difference between a couple of weeks of zero sunspots, and three months of a sunspot number around 163? As an example, every year Saad Mahaini, N5FF of Richardson, Texas spends three weeks in Syria. Currently operating YK1BA, he will return to Texas on April 28. Plugging the numbers into a popular propagation prediction program, this weekend when he talks to someone back home in the Dallas area, he might find spotty openings on 20 meters around 2100-2230z and perhaps 0400z. Less likely, 17 meters might be possible around 1700-2000z, and far less likely, 15 meters from 1500-2100z. He could also expect strong 40-meter signals from -0400z. These are normative expectations. Your mileage may vary. Saad may experience fantastic propagation. These are based on probability, and we can always be surprised. But if the sunspot number leading up to this weekend had been about 163, he could expect stronger 40 meter signals over the same period, 20 meter propagation from 2100-0700z with really strong signals from -0430z, and a good 15 meter opening from 1300-2300z. He might even find 10 meters open over a shorter time during the same period. Or, the Sun could be covered with spots, and a huge solar flare -- more likely during periods of higher solar activity -- could wipe out propagation in a radio blackout. Coming soon, the prediction for the next period of unsettled geomagnetic conditions is for around April 20, with an expected planetary A index of 20. After that, a planetary A index of 25 is predicted for April 28. This same forecast (from the U.S.

[IRCA] 1450 KIAL Dutch Harbor, AK
I'm wondering if anyone has heard this station. I notice that the 2006 NRC AM radio list doesn't list 1450 as an active station. However, watching the Discovery Channel's excellent series about the Alaska Crab fishery clearly shows KIAL 1450 on the air at the beginning of one of the program's about the start of the Ophelia (snow) crab fishery. NRC mentions 4200 watts, whereas the Radio-Locator website mentions only 1000. They appear to beam primarily north into the Bering Sea. I had no luck on this frequency in Masset in February. There appears to be 2 Alaskans, with the other being on KLAM in Cordova with only 250 watts. This is close to due north from Masset, whereas KIAL would be close to due West.My Beverages should be able to take care of that. .Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

KIAL 1450 is 50 Watts into a longwire antenna per a special authorization theyve had since 1977. They have been unable to find suitable land to build a tower. The 4200 watts was a CP they got last year but haven't built yet. They hope to file for an FM license in the upcoming NCE FM Window.

I notice that the 2006 NRC AM radio list doesn't list 1450 as an active station. However, watching the Discovery Channel's excellent series about the Alaska Crab fishery clearly shows KIAL 1450 on the air at the beginning of one of the program's about the start of the Ophelia (snow) crab fishery. NRC mentions 4200 watts, whereas the Radio-Locator website mentions only 1000. They appear to beam primarily north into the Bering Sea. I had no luck on this frequency in Masset in February. There appears to be 2 Alaskans, with the other being on KLAM in Cordova with only 250 watts. This is close to due north from Masset, whereas KIAL would be close to due West.My Beverages should be able to take care of that. .Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
