GB100RXY activation
Furness Amateur Radio Society in NW England will be operating GB100RXY from a series of venues for 28 days from June 5th as a celebration of 100 years of amateur radio in Furness.
Barrow in Furness Wireless Club were the fifth English club to receive a transmitting licence from the Post Office and Furness ARS are celebrating those pioneers.

ARLP022
Average daily sunspot numbers sank nearly 50 points to 94.3 this week, and the average daily solar flux was down over 16 points to 117.8. Geomagnetic indices were quite high, due to a solar wind stream.
The predicted solar flux for the near term is 105 on May 31 through June 1, 110 on June 2-5, then 105, 115, 125 and 130 on June 6-9, 135 on June 10-11, 140 on June 12-13, then 135, 125, 135 and 130 on June 14-17, and 125 on June 18-20.
Predicted planetary A index is 18 on May 31, 15 and 10 on June 1-2, 8 on June 3-4, 5 on June 5-10, then 8, 12, and 8 on June 11-13, and 5 on June 14-17.
OK1HH predicts the geomagnetic field will be quiet to active on May 31, active to disturbed June 1, quiet to active June 2, mostly quiet June 3, quiet to unsettled June 4, quiet June 5-7, mostly quiet June 8-9, quiet June 10, quiet to unsettled June 11, quiet to active June 12-14, mostly quiet June 15-17, quiet June 18, quiet to unsettled June 19-20, active to disturbed June 21, and quiet to active June 22.
The Australian Space Forecast Centre issued an alert at 0524 UTC on May 30 warning of increased geomagnetic activity due to a solar wind stream from a coronal hole. For May 31 they predict mostly unsettled to active conditions with the chance of minor storm periods in the latter half of the UTC day at high latitudes. For June 1 they expect mostly unsettled conditions with a chance of active periods.

Sunspot numbers for May 23 through 29 were 117, 99, 107, 92, 87, 75, and 83, with a mean of 94.3. 10.7 cm flux was 134.5, 127.3, 121.3, 120, 110.1, 104.8, and 106.9, with a mean of 117.8. Estimated planetary A indices were 7, 20, 32, 18, 13, 8, and 2, with a mean of 14.3. Estimated mid-latitude A indices were 8, 17, 25, 19, 8, 8, and 2, with a mean of 12.4.
