ARLP044 Propagation de K7RA

Strong solar activity continued this week, with average daily
sunspot numbers rising 36 points to 119.9 and average daily solar
flux up 24 points to 198. The X-Ray background flux from GOES-15 has
ranged from C1.2 to C2.6 since October 19. RWC Prague predicts a
range from B2.0 to C1.5 from October 31 through November 6.

You can see daily X-ray flux at
each day the number of new sunspot regions which appeared, and on
October 30 there were four new regions and the sunspot number was
121. This is the highest number of new regions to appear on any day
since August 14, when there were four, on December 31, 2013 when
there were also four new ones, and August 7, 2013, and April 5 2013.
Way back on January 4, 2013 five new regions appeared in one day.

If you are recording solar flux and sunspot data into a personal
archive, you will be happy to know that the DRAO site in Penticton
has their archive of solar flux data now current, and updated three
times per day. You can find it at
the html copy. The data has been updated infrequently over the past
couple of months.

You can also download an update from
http://www.craigcentral.com/sol.asp of the data file for Scott
Craig's solar data plotting utility. A new data file through October
29, 2014 is now up. It replaces the April 3, 2014 file. You can
update the data file weekly using Scott's program with new copies of
this bulletin. This gives you daily solar flux and sunspot numbers
stretching back over a quarter century, to January 1, 1989.

The Solar Data Plotting Utility only runs on the Windows operating
system, on all versions through Windows Xp. I currently use it in Xp
mode in Windows 7.

Our updated prediction has daily solar flux at 130 on October 31
through November 2, 125 on November 3-4, 120 on November 5-7, 160 on
November 8, 165 on November 9-10, 175 on November 11-12, then
peaking at 200 on November 19-20, and reaching a low of 110 on
December 12.

Predicted planetary A index is 12 on October 30, 8 on October 31
through November 4, 12 on November 5, 8 on November 6-7, 5 on
November 8-9, 8 on November 10-11, then 5 and 8 on November 12-13,
12 on November 14-15, then 22, 15 and 10 on November 16-18, and 8 on
November 19-21.

OK1HH sees quiet to unsettled geomagnetic conditions on October 31,
quiet conditions November 1, mostly quiet November 2, quiet to
unsettled November 3, quiet on November 4, quiet to active November
5, active to disturbed November 6, mostly quiet November 7, quiet to
unsettled November 8, quiet November 9, mostly quiet November 10-11,
quiet to unsettled November 12, mostly quiet November 13-14, quiet

disturbed November 17, quiet to active November 18, quiet to
unsettled November 19, mostly quiet November 20-22, quiet on
November 23, quiet to active November 24, and back to quiet on
November 25-26.

Conditions should be good this weekend for ARRL CW Sweepstakes. It
begins at 2100 UTC Saturday, November 1 and runs until 0259 UTC
Monday, but is limited to 24 hours. This is the weekend that
Daylight Saving Time ends so for those of us on the West Coast, that
actually runs from 2:00 PM PDT Saturday until 6:59 PM PST Sunday.
UTC Time is constant, so don't worry about any notion of gaining an
hour that the rest of the country considers when moving the clocks
back by 60 minutes on Sunday at 2:00 AM local time.

The Phone weekend for ARRL Sweepstakes is two weeks later.

If you are not a contester, it might be fun to give out contacts to
the bleary eyed hungry hordes in the last few hours of the event
when things have quieted down and those still participating are
desperate for new ones. You should get plenty of attention. For more

Often late in the contest casual operators showing up this late may
be confused about their ARRL Section, and give their state instead.
For most states, this works, but in some states it is a bit more
complicated. Check
for a map, and you'll see that California is divided into nine
sections.

A week ago on October 24 Fred Honnold, KH7Y sent this: "Yesterday
starting at 2200 UTC worked many W6 and W7 stations some were 20
over S9 on 6 meters. I also worked TX, OK, NM, AZ and NV, all F2
propagation. I was spotted by JA, BV during this opening on back
scatter. Also many XE1, 2 and PY, LU, CX, ZP, CE worked and later on
in the evening VK, DU, ZL, and KG6."

Today Fred reported: "6 meters has been open every day, good
openings in the morning to South America, Some to the southern part
of the mainland. So far this month W6, W7, W5, XE1, 2 and 3, HK,
PJ4, CX, ZP, CP, LU, PY, CE, ZL, YJ0, VK, DU, 9M2, KG6, V73, FK8,
E51, T30, JA. So October has been great on 6 meters from KH6.

"The Sun sure went crazy there for 6 days or so. Looks like it is
going back to sleep. Will be interesting to see what next March,
April will bring. Those long path QSOs are really fun to make."

James French, W8ISS of Lincoln Park, Michigan sent this message last
Saturday: "I posted a picture I took last Thursday during the
partial eclipse. Even for what I got, you can easily see Sunspot
grouping 2192 there.

"See,

"Taken with a Samsung M575 cell phone held up to the eyepiece of a
4-inch Meade Reflector."

An interesting article about magnetic reconnection converting
magnetic energy into explosive particle energy, came from Jim
Henderson, KF7E of Queen Creek, Arizona:


Scott Bidstrup, TI3/W7RI, wrote: "Here's an item that suggests
recent research is explaining the mechanisms behind solar flares,
and may make it possible to predict solar flares themselves, not
just the probability of them."


On October 26 Scott Bidstrup also wrote, "Propagation here in the
equatorial region has been much improved with the recent spate of
solar activity - the recent series of flares from the giant sunspot
region 2192 has raised the 304a radiation from the Sun, along with
long-wave X-radiation, and the F2 layer has responded accordingly.
The 10m PSK window has looked like the 20m window usually does -
packed wall to wall with digimode signals, mostly Europeans, but
with a lot of W4s and W5s as well. The rest of the upper HF bands
have been similarly crowded. Sure is good to see all those strong
signals after the recent doldrums.

"The presence of a lot of Stateside signals on 10m here has bode
well for 6 meters - JAs working into LU, CX and CE have become
almost a nightly occurrence. Remi, FK8CP, with his usual
persistence, has been working a lot of stations throughout the
Americas, Canada all the way to Chile, and there have been
occasional contacts between VK/ZL stations and the west coast of the
U.S. Last night, Remi's signal here in Costa Rica was an S9 for more
than two hours on and off.

"6m transequatorial openings from the Caribbean and Central America
into South America have been happening nightly, to the point where
the activity has dropped off noticeably simply because of everyone
having worked everyone else already - several times, in fact.
Occasionally, openings have begun as early as ten in the morning
till well past bedtime, on and off. On the DX maps, I've been seeing
occasional 6m contacts ducted along the Transequatorial Anomaly, too
- though, sadly, none have happened from here in Costa Rica. We've
even had a few Es openings from here into Venezuela and the Windward
Islands, though. Phil, TI5/N5BEK, reports hearing the PR8ZIX beacon
from mid-morning until late in the day, almost every day. It's so
frequent, he rarely bothers to even spot it anymore.

"73 from Costa Rica where it's finally drying out. The rainy season
is ending. Thank goodness! I can get some antenna work done!"

More 6 meter news from Rich Zwirko, K1HTV: "On October 21, with the
SFI hovering just below 200 we had some 6 Meter TEP to South
America. From my FM18ap Virginia QTH I worked two stations in
Uruguay, CX8DS on SSB and CX9AU on CW. Also heard were the LU2EE/B
and LU7YSb CW beacons.

"The following UTC day, October 22nd will be one that I will long
remember. I was chasing W1AW/7 and W1AW/8 on the HF bands when I
noticed a DX Cluster spot from WZ8D in Ohio that he had just worked
a New Caledonia station on 6 Meters. I tuned to 50.110 MHz and there
was FK8CP on CW. A quick call and at 0324Z (11:24 EDT, Oct 21) FK8CP
was in the K1HTV log. Remi was my 6M DXCC country #155. I quickly
called W3LPL in MD and a few minutes later Frank worked FK8CP, as
well as did his neighbor Bernie, W3UR, both in FM19.

"A few minutes later FK8CP, now on SSB, was on a different frequency
calling CQ. I called Remi on SSB and he said, 'You are already in my
log.' He continued calling CQ North America on both CW and SSB. His
signal varied from just at the noise level to S4. Remi was last
heard at my FM18ap Virginia QTH at 0415Z. In all, FK8CP was heard
here, for 55 minutes!

"Later that same Oct. 22 UTC date around 2340Z I heard ZL1RS on CW
for about 10 seconds. Dave, N4DB, who is 102 miles south of me heard
ZL1RS for about 2 minutes and was able to work him. Thirty-five
minutes later Dave also worked FK8CP. At that time I could hear
nothing from FK8CP. Talk about the 6 Meter spotlight effect! The
Magic Band can be that way.

"A few days later on October 25th on 6 Meters I worked CT1HZE and
EA4SV. Not sure if it was F2 because I was also hearing the VO1SEP/B
CW beacon at the same time, leading me to think that it may have
been Es propagation. With the SFI varying from around 180 to 218 for
over a week I wouldn't be surprised to see some loud E-W F2 skip
coming into the Mid-Atlantic area in the next week or so. Hope so!"

And finally, Jon Jones, N0JK wrote, "One unusual occurrence this
October has been the prevalence of sporadic-E propagation on 6
meters. There has been sporadic-E on a majority of the days so far
this month. A particularly intense Es opening on 6 meters took place
on Monday morning October 27. Es was present over 4 hours from the
Midwest states to New England, New York and New Jersey on 6 meters.
The 8 watt N2GHR/B FN30 beacon 50.078 MHz was solid copy during this
period for me in EM28, and K2MUB FN20 was 40 dB over S-9. This
opening created some Es links to F2 earlier for stations in New
England to Europe. Es was spotted between W1 and VO1, and then W1
stations linked on to western Europe.

"On Wednesday evening (October 29 UTC), a sporadic-E cloud over
western Nebraska set up an Es link from W8, W9 and W0 on via TEP to
FK8CP on 6. Many northern 8, 9 and 0 stations were able to work New
Caledonia that evening. W9RM DM58 heard the eastern stations via Es,
he is on the great circle path from them on out to FK8. The October
sporadic-E created interesting DX opportunities for many 6 meter
DXers.

"Typically sporadic-E is very rare on 6 meters in October, only the
month of March has less Es.

"To clarify I am referring to sporadic-E propagation on 50 MHz in
the northern hemisphere mid-latitudes. Not aurora associated Es,
equatorial Es or in the southern hemisphere.

"I am unsure of any direct connection between the higher solar flux
and solar activity and the sporadic-E occurrence. The higher solar
flux did raise F2 MUFs and brought the TEP zone where 50 MHz signals
may be propagated further north."

FOR RELEASE AT 1000 UTC ON FRIDAY

Radio Arcala, Oulu, Finland, Oct.31.2014
by Martti Laine, OH2BH

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE FAR NORTH ­ MY DX SUMMIT GOES LIVE

DX Summit once changed the DX hunt. Today hardly anyone is using the
traditional Search & Pounch approach. Everyone is connected to a DX
cluster locally or over the Internet. Easy to use and operated by Radio
Arcala (OH8X), DX Summit maintains its position as one of Amateur Radio's
largest web portals but it will now be refreshed - big time!

DX Summit is modernized for a second time around, and MY DX SUMMIT will
now go online today for limited dedicated pre-user testing. We will
welcome some 200 pre-users who are prepared to try it out and provide
immediate feedback to the development team. The aim of this exercise is
to serve as the final debug phase and to enhance user experience to
maximum satisfaction before tens of thousands suddenly fire their browsers
to help them in their future DX hunt.

We ask you if would you like to be one of the few to have this experience
today? If you say “yes”, please kindly be prepared not only to test but
to provide a timely response. Send a note to <radioarcala@gmail.com> and
we will give you guidance to get started.

What to expect? Adding to the traditional spot functions you can create
own cluster view to monitor a selected callsign or multiple callsigns
real-time for band and mode specific spots. Or you can exclude everything
from your DX Summit view you're not interested in. Also you can open
several of those windows and you can have past and current spots showing
together. Basically you have full flexibility to customize your DX Summit
easily to show exactly what you're interested in.

Additionally, an advanced propagation tool powered by VOACAP is laid out
in such a way that it tracks your location as a starting point, and when
clicking a spot it shows your propagation to that location as of that
moment but also for an entire period of 24 hours on all bands. You can
instantly understand whether your best chances for a QSO are gone or just
coming up. This will also be a great educational tool for those wishing
to gain insight into the total propagation picture, including the existing
radio propagation.

Additionally, a DX News section is integrated for your viewing pleasure
while spending your time at MY DX SUMMIT.

Just send us a note and you will be part of a new phase in the DX Hunt!

BOUVET ISLAND 2016 ---> Mark, ON4WW  has  been  granted  permission  by  the
Norwegian Polar Institute to land and stay at Cape Valdivia,  Bouvet  Island
for three months, from mid-January until mid-April 2016.  This  is  intended
to be a one-man amateur radio DXpedition, with a target of 100,000  CW,  SSB
and RTTY QSOs on the HF bands and daily log uploads to Club  Log,  LoTW  and
eQSL. "Whether or not this DXpedition will take place depends  on  the  next
big hurdle: funding", Mark says. A web page providing background information
and   full   details  including   the   funding  approach  is  available  at
www.on4ww.be/bouvet2016.html. The email address to contact Mark with  regard
to the DXpedition is bouvet2016[@]telenet.be. [TNX ON4WW]

MY DX SUMMIT ---> "DX Summit is modernized for a second time around, and  MY
DX SUMMIT will now go online today [31 October, ed.] for  limited  dedicated
pre-user testing. We will welcome some 200 pre-users  who  are  prepared  to
try it out and provide immediate feedback to the development team.  The  aim
of this exercise is to serve as the final debug phase and  to  enhance  user
experience to maximum satisfaction before tens of  thousands  suddenly  fire
their browsers to help them in their future DX hunt. We  ask  you  if  would
you like to be one of the few to have this  experience  today?  If  you  say
'yes', please kindly be prepared not only to test but to  provide  a  timely
response. Send a note  to  radioarcala[@]gmail.com  and  we  will  give  you
guidance to get started".

NAVASSA ISLAND 2015 ---> The new website for the K1N DXpedition  to  Navassa
Island [425DXN 1225] is up and running at  www.navassadx.com,  and  will  be
updated often  as  more  information  becomes  available.  "We  should  have
specific dates shortly", it was published on 29 October, "but the  team  has
cleared their schedules to be available for the two week operation  starting
in late January 2015". Fundraising has begun; see the website  for  detailed
information on how to donate. [TNX W0GJ]

QSL 3B8BAE & 3B8FQ ---> Effective immediately, K5XK is  no  longer  the  QSL
