To all radio amateurs

ARLP039 Propagation de K7RA
Our sun is still very quiet, but solar flux and sunspot numbers were
higher this week than last. Average daily sunspot numbers rose from
42.3 to 75.6, and average daily solar flux rose from 95.3 to 109.6.
There were no big geomagnetic events this week.
Predicted solar flux is 110 on September 27 through October 2, then
105, 100, 95, 100, 105 and 100 on October 3-8, 95 on October 9-10,
then 100, 105 and 100 on October 11-13, 95 on October 14-15, and all
the way down to 90 on October 16-19.
Predicted planetary A index is 5 on September 27-28, then 8, 10, 12
and 8 on September 29 through October 2, 5 on October 3-9, 8 on
October 10-11, 5 on October 12-13, then 8, 10 and 8 on October
14-16, and 5 on October 17-19. This is unchanged from the forecast
in Thursday's ARRL Letter.
F.K. Janda, OK1HH of the Czech Propagation Interest Group predicts
active to disturbed conditions September 27, quiet to active
September 28, mostly quiet September 29, quiet on September 30,
quiet to active October 1, quiet October 2-5, quiet to unsettled
October 6-7, mostly quiet October 8, back to active to disturbed
conditions October 9, as it was on the first day of this forecast.
David Moore, a shortwave listener in Moro Bay, California is a
frequent contributor here, and sends a New York Times article titled
"The Sun That Did Not Roar", about our current quiet sun. In
reference to a weak solar event last week, it characterized a CME as
what "seemed like the halfhearted effort of a slacker star." See it
But 160 meter operators are not despairing a dearth of solar
activity to come, as more solar activity correlates with higher
geomagnetic activity, and they like things nice and quiet.
Often the declining years of a solar cycle are marked by heightened
geomagnetic activity (see http://www.spacew.com/gic/guidance.pdf for
a treatise on this) and I can recall times during the decline of
cycle 22 in the 1990s when it seemed like geomagnetic disturbances
were constant. Although the record in its most easily accessible
form doesn't go back as far as we would like, check out this
geomagnetic index record from 1994:
Check out February 5-15, February 21-22, March 3, March 7-21, April
1-18 (especially April 17, with a huge planetary A index of 130!),
May 1-17, May 28-31, Jun 25 to July 7, September 7-10, October 3-7,
23-24, and 29-31, and November 26-27. Note the very large planetary
A index values throughout the year, and this represents week after
week buffeted by high absorption and even radio blackouts. As if
this wasn’t bad enough in the middle latitudes, I recall Vince Van
Der Hyde, K7VV was living in Alaska at the time (possibly near the
65th parallel) and told me later that his favorite HF bands were
unusable for months at a time, due to the concentration of
geomagnetic energy toward the poles.
In the table above, check out the College A index, which is measured
near Fairbanks at the University of Alaska. It is in the middle
column. See all those asterisks where there should be numerals?
Those are periods when the magnetometer was unusable due to being
swamped with too much energy from a coronal mass ejection, for
instance. Now compare the numbers in 1994 to more recent readings:
There are a few relatively high numbers, but nothing like what we
observed and sometimes suffered with two decades ago.
A glance at this graph shows how far down we were on cycle 22 during
1994:
By the way, the exact location for the magnetometer which generates
the college A and K index is at 64.8742 degrees North latitude and
147.8597 degrees West longitude, roughly one half mile northeast of
Smith Lake, 400 yards south of Yankovich Road, and one half mile
east of Miller Hill Road in Fairbanks. This is about 117 miles or
188 km south of the Arctic Circle.
You can see photos of the geomagnetic observatory at
also at
Note on the overhead view on Bing Maps you can zoom in, and by
clicking on Aerial, then the Bird's Eye dropdown you can see highly
detailed images from four different directions. Just click on the
arrows outside the compass rose in the upper right to see the
observatory from a point of view in each direction.
Dave Greer, N4KZ of Frankfort, Kentucky wrote about 10 meter
openings on the autumnal equinox, last Sunday.
"Ten meters was open to southern Europe and South Africa on the
morning of September 22, the first day of fall. For the past couple
of weeks, various European operators had been telling me on lower
bands after I got home from work that 10 meters had been open to the
States earlier in the day. But I was at work in each instance and
missed out. So I made an effort on Sept. 22 to be on the band and it
didn't disappoint. I copied numerous stations but primarily they
were from France and Spain. I copied a British station but he was
weak. I worked S58WW at 1510 UTC and he had a good signal but not as
strong as others. CU7MD from Azores was copied too but with several
prior QSOs in our logs, I let others work him. ZS3Y from South
Africa had a big signal as did EA8YB in the Canary Islands. But I
passed on them as well because of our previous QSOs on the band."
"But my most interesting QSO on Sept. 22 was with F4DSD in France. I
think they call this the 10-meter deja vu mode of propagation
because Mario and I had worked exactly one year earlier. And I do
mean almost exactly a year ago. Our two QSOs, both on 10 meters on
Sept. 22, occurred in 2012 and again in 2013 and were only 12
minutes apart in time and only 5 KHz apart in frequency. Now that
really is deja vu!"
Thanks, Dave. That really must have been an odd feeling and quite a
fun topic of conversation.
You may be surprised to hear of 10 meter openings given the paucity
of sunspots, but given seasonal variations, right around the equinox
is the ideal time. Run a projection with a program such as W6ELprop
from Dave's location (38.205 deg N, 84.896 deg W) to France, for
instance, and on September 22 with low sunspot or solar flux
numbers, we can see some possibilities for openings around 1530-2100
UTC, and especially between 1900-2030 UTC. But change the date back
or forward a month or two, and the opening disappears.
More mail on 10 meters, from Rol Anders, K3RA in Elkridge, Maryland:
"Ten has been opening to EU from Maryland more and more, starting in
mid September. I worked IW1CHX on September 11 at 1438 UTC on CW.
The KD4D team at N3HBX worked 54 EU stations on Sunday of the WAE
(Worked All Europe DX Contest) on September 15. Then on September 17
I ran about 15 EU stations between 1600 and 1700 UTC. I was not on
for several days, but on September 23 I worked about 25 EU stations
on ten meters from 1440-1520 UTC. On September 24 I worked about a
dozen EU's in the hour starting at 1640 UTC. Then on September 25 I
worked about 100 EU stations between 1300-1600 UTC. On September 26
I worked about 125 EU between 1200-1440 UTC. Many Eastern Europeans
and Russians, with occasional Asiatic Russian and Middle-East
stations calling in. Also on September 26, with such good conditions
in the morning, I checked ten meters for JA's before my sunset, and
worked JM7OLW. So, the fall ten meter season is well underway.
Station is a 3 element SteppIR at 50 feet, and about 900 watts out."
Great report, Rol. And a little bit of internet searching shows
JM7OLW may have been using his 7 element 10 meter Yagi at 100 feet.
That must help. Check out the evidence and maybe guess which antenna
at http://www.geocities.jp/jm7olw_suke/ . I wouldn't be
surprised if
he were using a half-wave dipole on his roof.
At the last minute, early Friday, we received this VHF report from
Lawrence, GJ3RAX, in Jersey, one of the Channel Islands. He wrote,
"The VHF bands over here were a bit more interesting this week. A
tropo opening had been predicted due to the high pressure region and
that happened on Monday. I was not able to spend very much time on
the radio but I was on for an hour or so during the early afternoon
and again from 11:30 pm at night. My afternoon QSOs were into
Germany at distances of between 600 and 700 miles. Most were on 2 m
and one on 70 cm. The later QSOs got me into Germany again on 2 m
and 70 cm and also Switzerland on both bands which was about 440
miles. I tried with some of them on 23 cm but nothing was heard this
time."
"One of my friends in Guernsey said that he had a large pileup on 23
cm with quite a lot of countries worked. He has a tower with much
higher gain antennas than my log periodic and a better take-off to
the east where I am looking at the local school building which is
about 100 yards away."
"One of the members of the VHF and UHF group said that he was too
far north, being in Scotland, to be able to take advantage of that
opening which seemed to be mostly at my latitude."
"On Tuesday I was not hearing anything on those bands. During the
evening there was an RSGB contest on 6 m which ran from 8 pm to
10:30 pm BST. Normally I would be lucky to get a couple of QSOs but,
after starting late at 9 pm, I had 17 QSOs. Most were to England
with one GW, one GJ and two in GU. The best distance was 299 miles
which is normally not a good distance for me on 6 m. Typical 6 m
QSOs are much closer or much more distant during the Sporadic E
season but that is now over."
"I am anticipating more and better tropo openings during the next
month as I used to find them best during October each year. Last
year when I had just got back on those bands in November I caught
one opening when I worked into Germany on 2 m, 70 cm and 23 cm."
This weekend is the CQ World Wide RTTY DX Contest. They have a nice
countdown clock along with rules at http://www.cqwwrtty.com/. As I
write this early Friday morning, the clock shows the contest starts
in 16 hours.

information.
CY0, SABLE ISLAND (Update/Dates). The following was posted September
26th
[edited]: "As of today, 26th September, a potential 'show-stopper'
regarding
total DXpedition costs nearly halted the group in its tracks, one of
them
(Murray) being at the top of a 2,000 foot tower at the time.
Fortunately,
through the cooperation of a couple of Canadian government agencies
(Environment Canada and Parks Canada), a very suitable arrangement
was
been made that resolved the financial barriers to going to Sable on
30th
September. The only change to the trip now is its duration. Rather
than
returning on 11th October, for a number of safety (wx) and cost
consider-
ations, the return date will be on either 7th, 8th, or 9th October.
All required gear has been mustered except for the personal hand
luggage
that Murray and Rick, who are making their ways separately from NC and
NM,
respectively, will be bringing. Early weight estimates show us to be
roughly
50-75 pounds below the 1,400 pound safety limit.
All freight for the Britten-Norman-Island will be transported to
the
departure point by Rick and me, weighed, then loaded on the aircraft
on
Sunday night in time for an early departure on Monday morning.
Operation will be on 160M 10M on CW and SSB. Unfortunately, due
to
equipment limitations, there will be no RTTY operation.
On a lighter note, Rick, AI5P, was making threatening noises about
staying home if I could not locate Dr. Pepper soda for him to have on
Sable. The XYL here, Bev, finally found a case on sale for $3 and
change,
a near give-away because Canadians won’t drink the wretched stuff.
A note only to small station owners (little pistols). Please do not
ignore trying to work us just because propagation conditions seem to
provide discouraging numbers. We conducted a “test” with a station
nearly
identical to one of the ones going to CY0P, using 100 CW and wires,
during
a ten-day period in September. We chose the calendar period that
represented
what we should see 27 days later in October on Sable. Playing in the
CQ
Marathon competition but being only moderately active, the test
station
worked 45 countries in 24 CQ Zones. Contacts were made from Halifax to
all
points of the globe. The largest quantity and most impressive
contacts
were on 17M and included ASIA, and PAC. Since listening conditions
should
be better on CY0 in all respects than where the test was conducted,
this
empirical data suggests that if you can hear us, then you should try
to
work CY0P no matter how weak you think your signal may be. One of the
CY0P CW operators is a small-station operator himself and has a
distinct
fondness for his 100W and wire counterparts elsewhere in the world,
and
he will try very hard to work the deserving typical small-time
operator
with limited station resources. He also likes the QRP copy
challenge.
Our long wait and much planning is almost over. Wish us good
weather
and safety in our flight from the mainland of Canada to Sable Island.
If
all goes well, we should be QRV, late Monday in the early evening.

with
tremendous disappointment, that we have had to cancel the A22D trip
in
April 2014. The main reason for this has been the breakdown of
sponsorship
from one of the main Japanese manufacturer of Radio equipment. These
negotiations have been ongoing for nearly a year now, and business
must
be bad as we simply could not reach a workable solution. As a result

have no alternative but to cancel the A22D adventure. Please accept

soon,
maybe even more sought after than A2."

commemorative
team is in the final phase of preparation. All equipment has been
received
in Hawaii and will be transported to Hickam AFB for delivery to Wake
Island. Thanks, Kimo, KH7U for your invaluable assistance!
The plan is for the team to assemble in Hawaii on or before 3rd
October,
depart 4th October and arrive on 5th October. The following day will
be
dedicated to station set-up.
There will be two CW and two SSB stations on the air. The CW site

<http://wake2013.org/pages/bandplan.html> Logs will be
uploaded to ClubLog
as time and internet access allows.
This is a commemorative DXpedition. Our prime objective is to honor
the
lives and contributions of the Forgotten 98 civilian contractors who
lost
their lives on Wake during WWII. Some of these men have yet to be
ident-
ified and are interred in Honolulu. If you know any of the Forgotten
98
or their relatives, modern DNA testing may identify their remains and
provide for a proper burial. Please take a moment to look through
their
The team wants to thank the DX community, including generous
worldwide
Foundations, Clubs, Individuals, Equipment manufacturers and outlets
for
their outstanding support of the Wake commemorative efforts. These
DX-
peditions are extremely expensive and could not be accomplished
without
the support of the entire DX community. Visit the <http://wake2013.org>
website to view our sponsors and make your personal donation.
Please note! A few other DXpeditions will be on the air during the
Wake operation. To avoid the dreaded 'not in the log', please be sure
which DXpedition you are working! Our operators will announce the K9W
callsign often to help identify your contact.
Please check our website frequently for updates.

73, K9W Wake Atoll Management Team"
ADDED NOTE FROM W8GEX TO THE 60 METERS GANG: "As you may know, I am
part
of the K9W Wake Island team. Our plans are to leave Hawaii on Oct. 5
for
Wake. If all goes well, we will be QRV late on the 6th. After we get
into
our routine, I'll send an email to let you know my 60m operating times.
I
am planning to listen for Europe around 0430z at their sunrise as well
as
South America, then the East coast of North America about 1000z.
I'll be using an IC-706 into an inverted vee. After we get K9W set up
and we have our operating schedules working, I'll start setting up my
60m
station. I am a phone operator and will be on 5.403.5 unless QRN, and
then
I'll go to 5.371.5.
I might be able to get one on the team CW ops to get on as well. As
always give your call many times so we can pull it through. Give your
call many times because with the distance and low power and high
QRN,
it's hard to pick these calls out..... Joe W8GEX, K9W team
