Thanks to the Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society, Northern Ohio DX
Association, Ohio/Penn PacketCluster Network, AB5K & the AR TelNet
Clusters Network CX3AN and W8GEX for the following DX information.

KH9, WAKE ISLAND (Update/Scheduled - Press Release #6): "The Wake Atoll
Commemorative DXpedition team has been approved for entry onto Wake Atoll.
Our equipment is already on Wake and in safe storage awaiting our arrival.
The 12-Operator team includes: Joe -AA4NN, John-K6MM, Craig-K9CT, Mike-
K9NW, Ralph-K9ZO, Lou-N2TU, Jim-N9TK, Mark-NA6M, Dick-W3OA, Joe-W8GEX,
Hal-W8HC, and Jerry-WB9Z.
The plan is for the team to assemble in Hawaii on 30-October, depart
01-November, arrive on 02-November and immediately erect antennas and
set-up the stations. There will be two CW and two SSB stations on the
air. The CW site will be located across from the Arrivals terminal and
the SSB site will be housed in a "beach house" near downtown Wake.
We are planning on being QRV 03-November through 15-November (Wake time).
If there are any changes, they will be posted on our website.
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
identified. 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 names.
Wake Atoll is an active military base and access is extremely limited.
The Team is most grateful to the United States Air Force for allowing
this Commemoration to take place.
Also, 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 website to view our sponsors
and make your personal donation. http://wake2013.org/pages/sponsors.html
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. http:/wake2013.org/
And don't forget to sign our guestbook!
73, K9W Wake Atoll Management Team"

Propagation Forecast Bulletin 43 ARLP043
From Tad Cook, K7RA
Seattle, WA October 25, 2013
To all radio amateurs

SB PROP ARL ARLP043
ARLP043 Propagation de K7RA

Solar activity is increasing, suggesting that perhaps now in Fall
2013 we are in the midst of a second peak in Cycle 24. We hope it
sustains.

Sunspot numbers this week ran up all the way to 228, a level not
seen in the past decade since October 27 through November 1, 2003
when the daily sunspot numbers were 238, 230, 330, 293, 266 and 277.
Prior to that, on January 11, 2003 the daily sunspot number was 238.

Average daily sunspot numbers increased over 35 points to 162 (when
compared to the previous seven day period, October 10-16).

Average daily solar flux increased over 13 points to 139.6.

Geomagnetic indices indicate a quiet geomagnetic field.

Predicted solar flux this week is 165 on October 25-27, then 160,
155, 145, 135, 130, and 115 on October 28 through November 2, 120 on
November 3-5, 125 on November 6-10, 130 on November 11, 135 on
November 12-13, then 130, 120, 115 and 120 on November 14-17, and
115 on November 18-20. Based on recurrence due to solar rotation, in
45 days flux values are predicted at 130.

Predicted planetary A index is 16, 12, 8 and 20 on October 25-28, 8
on October 29-30, 5 on October 31 through November 9, then 12, 15,
10 and 8 on November 10-13, 5 on November 14-16, then 10 and 8 on
November 17-18. After November 18 everything looks very quiet (A
index of 5) until 44-45 days out, when the prediction shows A index
values of 12 and 15 on December 7-8.

Those predictions come from the United States Air Force Space
Weather Squadron, and are made available to the public via NOAA.


This set of PDF slides gives a hint at some of the tools they use:


As usual, OK1HH gives us his own predictions for geomagnetic
activity. He sees quiet to active geomagnetic conditions on October
25, quiet to unsettled October 26, mostly quiet October 27, quiet to
active October 28-29, mostly quiet October 30, quiet October 31
through November 3, mostly quiet November 4, quiet to active
November 5, quiet to unsettled November 6, mostly quiet November 7,
quiet to active November 8-12, quiet to unsettled November 13, quiet
on November 14-19, and mostly quiet November 20. He does not expect
any days with active to disturbed conditions.

Pete Markavage, WA2CWA of Sayreville, New Jersey reports great
conditions on 10 meters this week, but using AM and FM instead of CW
or SSB. Pete wrote, "Ten meters has been hot all week. During the
late morning hours of October 22 I worked about 25 stations, all on
AM, in a number of Eastern and Western European countries. AM power
was about 90 watts into a 4 element tri-bander. In the late
afternoon I worked a Japanese station on 10 FM direct with a 40 watt
rig. On October 24 around 6:45 PM EDT, finally worked my first
Japanese station on 10 AM. 6 meters has been dismal for openings
here in the East, but 10 meter activity is making up for it."

A week ago we got this from Jeff Hartley, N8II in West Virginia, but
not in time for last week's bulletin: "10 meter and 12 meter
propagation has been up and down with the degree of disturbed
conditions, but almost every day the Middle East and Southern EU are
booming in on 10 meters here.

"I listened Wednesday October 16 until 1430Z and 10 never opened
well to Europe, but that evening about 75 minutes past sunset I was
able to work a weak JA on 10 meter CW, heard one more and worked
another on 12 meter CW around 2400Z when the band seemed to be
closing rapidly. Jimmy BX5AA (Taiwan) was S7 on 15 phone about 0010Z
and easily logged, so it seemed the K index lowered as the day
progressed. A day or two before 10 was wide open to Scandinavia
around 1300-1400Z as well as several southern UA3 area stations
worked on CW. Paths to Africa have been open very late into the day
with TN2NS (Congo) loud at 2130Z on 10 phone and even later on 12
CW."

Chip Margelli, K7JA wrote (also last week): "From what I was able to
hear in a brief tune around 10 meters this morning (October 18), it
is widely open to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Nice signals
were observed from OD5ZZ and OD5NJ, several 4X/4Z stations, SU8JOTA
(Boy Scout Jamboree On The Air in Egypt!), and generally signals
from all of Europe were excellent. F6KHM (0.5 W) and MM3FYA (5 Watts
to an attic dipole) were nice copy this morning (October 18) around
1600 UTC.

"Last night, 18 October at 0158 UTC, I worked FK8CP on 50.110.6 MHz.
Remi peaked about 579 and was in for at least a half hour. QSB was
very heavy, almost like meteor scatter at times, but he also became
steady, solid copy at times, too.

"It's nice to have some prop!

"I run 200 Watts to a 7-element LFA Yagi on 6 meters, and the same
200 Watts to a 7-element OP-DES Yagi on 10 meters."

Ganesh, VU2TS sends us this message from Karnataka: "Hello and
Greetings from South India! I am the editor of Amateur Radio News of
the Amateur Radio Societies of India - ARSI (http://www.arsi.info)
and I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for your
propagation bulletin which we are receiving regularly.

"With the sunspot activity quite low, the band conditions these days
are poor - even though we are supposed to be experiencing the Solar
Max, Hi!

"However, I wish to share with you my pet theory about amateurs
ionizing the ionosphere. This weekend is the CQ WW DX SSB contest,
and with something like 30 to 40,000 stations on the air at the same
time, and some 30% of them using a kW or more, all the bands open up
for long haul DX! (Remember HAARP?)

"Just listen to the bands this weekend - and you will be surprised
at the unusual band openings! Feedback welcome. 73, Ganesh VU2TS."

That's right Ganesh, in order to feed the ionosphere we have to
call, not just listen. It is part of the magic of radio.

Further evidence of the magic of radio is the fact that I am writing
Friday's bulletin while using an airline Wi-Fi connection during a
flight from Seattle to Washington D.C. Like all other basic
in-flight amenities, such as snacks, it is quite expensive. Of
course, back when snacks were free, I couldn't get an internet
connection in the air.

FT5ZM - AMSTERDAM ISLAND DXPEDITION
Press Release - October 21, 2013

A sea container filled with our equipment --- transceivers, amplifiers,
antennas, wire and cable, connectors, baluns, bandpass filters, camp supplies,
and other miscellaneous equipment -- is now on its way to New Zealand. There it
will be loaded aboard our ship, the MV Braveheart. The Braveheart crew and our
VK6 friends have our shopping lists for other needed materials and are procuring
these items for us. These materials will all come together in January when the
Braveheart and the FT5ZM team arrive in Fremantle, Australia.

Our network and logging team are in the last round of testing our system for the
seamless uploading of our logs. Currently we can export 400 QSO’s each hour
from each of 10 PC’s in approximately 500 msec. The log collection will be
automatic, so there is no interruption of operator time. A zipped log file with
100,000 QSO’s will be just over 600 Kb in size, saving time and money on
satellite uploads. The process has been tested end to end, including uploading
to ClubLog.

We are in the phase of the DXpedition where large expenses are coming at us
rapidly. We’ve completed one down payment on our ship, we’ve had to purchase
some equipment and shipping supplies, shipping and customs fees have been paid,
our anchorage and per diem costs at Amsterdam Island are coming due, we will be
seeing berthing and ship supply charges from Fremantle soon, and we have another
ship payment due on December 1.

We are staying within our budgeted expenses, but contributions have been
somewhat less than we had hoped. It now appears almost certain that the team
members will have to increase their personal contribution from $10,000 per
person to $12,500 per person as well as pay their own way to and from Fremantle,
Australia. If you’ve contributed to the DXpedition, we thank you. If you’ve
yet to help us, or if you can send some additional help our way, we can
certainly use any financial support that you can give us.

Please continue to check our progress, our news updates, and photos on our
website: www.amsterdamdx.org If, while you are there, you’d hit the "Donate"
tab, we’d really, really appreciate it.

Z81X PRESS RELEASE, WITH ADDENDUM
Helsinki
October 23, 2013
REPUBLIC OF SOUTH SUDAN, Z81X
A multinational group of Dietmar, DL3DXX; Wayne, N7NG; Hans, PB2T; Olli, OH0XX;
Martti, OH2BH; Pertti, OH2PM; Veijo, OH6KN and Tevfik, TA1HZ (team doctor) will
be in Juba, South Sudan from November 14 - 28, 2013 and will activate Z81X with
an emphasis on low bands, 160m and 80m. The period includes the CQWW CW contest
with some single-band entries and low-band SSB focus during the contest weekend.

Hosted by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, the group led by Hans,
PB2T, President of IARU R1, will conduct a series of workshops and establish a
sound amateur radio spectrum management regime and related regulations. It will
also introduce Amateur Radio to the Ministry of Education. Also participating in
these efforts are two local amateurs; Massimo, Z81B (IZ0EGB) and Diya, Z81D
(YI1DZ). This part of the program is supported by Yasme Foundation Inc.

The plan is to activate three FTDx3000 stations with amps, low-band verticals
and beverage antennas. Two different radio locations may be used. The operation
will be generator based.

The Z81X team will use their QRZ.com pages for providing further updates and
recognizing their supporters, with Vlad, UA6JD as their webmaster.

Z81X Project Goodwill South Sudan is organized jointly by Radio Arcala, DX
University, IARU Region 1 and Rock City Investments Co., and the equipment
sponsor is Yaesu Musen Co. Ltd of Japan.

In support of the DX University, we will take note of specific relationships
between pileup behavior and operator technique. Additional information will be
available before the expedition begins.

The highest cost item is equipment transport, with courier service the only
reliable means of transportation. The group welcomes support from individuals,
clubs and foundations to offset some of the high equipment transport expenses.
You may contact any of the group members for your potential support or use
PayPal at Z81X QRZ.com.

ZS8C, Carson, updates readers with the following info:
I have managed to move my radio into my office, making HAM activities much
simpler (I used to have it installed in our emergency base which can get a bit
cold!). Recently I have started becoming more active on the air, and I am hoping
to make a lot more contacts in the coming weeks and months. My preferred method
of making contacts is to arrange a “private” sked between a couple of HAMs.
Please note that my signal is a bit weak due to my set-up, so you might have to
listen very closely. Due to island rules, I cannot upgrade my antenna, so I am
stuck with what I’ve got. If you would like to arrange a sked, please pop me an
email [zs8c(at)hamcity.co.za]. I look forward to meeting as many HAMs as I can.
Thank you to everyone who has made contact with me. It is always exciting
meeting different people from around the world, which is one of the things I
enjoy the most! [DX World]
