At the end of October, a hole in the sun’s atmosphere lashed Earth’s magnetic field with solar wind, sparking moderately-strong geomagnetic storms and almost a full week of Arctic auroras. News flash: It’s back. The same “coronal hole” is turning toward Earth again. Coronal holes are regions in the sun’s atmosphere where the magnetic field peels back and allows solar wind to escape. Since our last encounter with this hole in late October it has been transiting the far side of the sun, carried around by the sun’s 27-day rotation. Now that it is back we can see that the hole is not quite as large as it was a month ago�but it is still impressive, covering more than 1/4th of thee visible solar disk.

The IEEE emeritbadges Project is a global pre-university technology education program for boys and girls. emeritbadges has developed a program to foster the accomplishment of its vision around the Electricity Merit Badge and the Electronics Merit Badge programs. A group of thirty (30) volunteers is needed to implement most of the project objectives at the 2017 National Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in Glen Jean, West Virginia from 15 – 29 July 2017. The Jamboree will be attended by thousands of boys and girls from around the world. YOU are needed to staff the Electricity and Electronics Merit Badge booth in the STEM Quest area at the 2017 National Jamboree. Contact Ralph W. Russell to ask for details regarding volunteering to spend two (2) weeks in the scenic West Virginia mountains adjacent to the New River Gorge National River area to teach boys and girls the basics of electricity and electronics. Sounds like fun, and I’m guessing that if they get enough volunteers, you wouldn’t have to be there for the entire two weeks. Oddly, emeritbadges.org doesn’t seem to work, but the program does have a Facebook page.

In my limited understanding of radios antennas needs to match the band of the radio. 118Mhz-137Mhz in my case. I found a few that could work but I’m not 100%. The frequencies match but the spec sheet on the radio says it has an M type connector at 50 ohms.

Steve Nichols, Narc’s public relation officer, said the club’s members were thrilled with the result. He said: “We were very pleased to win the award, which recognises the massive amount of work that goes on within the club to promote the hobby and provide radio communications training.” The club has more than 100 members, a history dating back to the 1950s and has an active calendar of talks, events, special event stations and courses. Its activities include putting on special event radio stations to celebrate events such as inventor Guglielmo Marconi’s birthday and Railways on the Air, plus “Bright Sparks” events for youngsters who are interested in electronics. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8209752 http://ift.tt/2fo1iAq via IFTTT Who’s Jamming the Hams? Posted: 23 Nov 2016 05:15 AM PST City’s radio hams have been left baffled by cryptic signals in a foreign language which are originating in the deep seas off the Arabian coast. They have written to central government agencies asking for an investigation. Mumbai’s circuit of amateur radio operators � or hams as they are called � �� is being rudely interrupted by indecipherable signals originating in the high seas off the west coast, prompting the group to write to the union ministry of telecommunications and other central government agencies to probe the source of this suspect transmission. The blips, being picked up by the radio operators’ VHF wireless sets for five or so months now, became a cause for concern only after they were traced to about 100 nautical miles, or 185 kilometres, off the Maharashtra-Gujarat coastline. When the hams homed in on the origin point with their direction-finding equipment and antennae, they shot off urgent letters to the wireless advisor at the ministry, the Prime Minister’s Office and top defence officers apart from the police, alerting them to the disturbance. The spokesperson for the citybased group Ham Radio Operators, Ankur Puranik, told Mumbai Mirror that the irregular signals are encroaching on the 144-146MHz bandwidth allotted to their two-way radio transmission. About 70 of the city’s 200 hams have heard these fishy signals at various times of the day, but mostly at night. What makes it all disquieting is that the signal dispatchers do not use the mandatory call sign � a unique identifier for transmissions andd broadcasting � by which each ham in the world can be identified annd tracked, implying that they do not want their identity or location to be known. “And they speak in a language we don’t understand,” Puranik said. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8209752 http://ift.tt/2f5HZk7 via IFTTT You are subscribed to email updates from dxer ham radio dx news.
