The International DX Association, INDEXA, has been one of the major sponsors and contributors to DXpeditions for over 33 years. Until now donations from U.S. amateurs could not be con- sidered a tax deduction for your personal taxes. In early April INDEXA received the IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt status that now allows a tax deduction for donations. DXpeditions to the rare DXCC entities that we all count on are getting harder and much more expensive. Investing in advance can help INDEXA with larger grants to these and other rare ones that have not even been announced yet publically. Remember, receiving a tax deduction for supporting your favorite hobby is a nice perk. Check out the INDEXA web site at for our past history and future DXpeditions we have already supported. Membership and tax deductable donations can be made on the web via our secure system or through our direct mailing address on the bottom of the web page. May we continue to enjoy the thrill of the QSOs to the rare DX entities by helping to financially assist in their success in advance.

SB PROP @ ARL $ARLP018 ARLP018 Propagation de K7RA ZCZC AP18 QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 18 ARLP018 From Tad Cook, K7RA Seattle, WA May 1, 2015 To all radio amateurs SB PROP ARL ARLP018 ARLP018 Propagation de K7RA There were no new sunspots over the past week (April 23-29), even though in the previous seven days there were new sunspots every day, and one day, April 21 had two new ones. The day after the reporting week, April 30, saw two new spots. Both solar flux and daily sunspot numbers declined. The average daily sunspot number dropped from 120.9 to 60.7, and average daily solar flux went down from 150.4 to 119.8. We currently are experiencing a very quiet Sun, but looking at the STEREO mission at http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/ there is activity just over the solar horizon. You can see the weakening outlook in the NOAA/USAF 45 day forecast for solar flux. I have an archive of these in spreadsheet form at http://www.filedropper.com/filemanager/public.php?service=files&t=326dd41340bab1066cf91d13df36b8fd . Just click "Download This File" and select "Yes" to ignore the warning. Take a look at the weakening solar flux forecasts for May 1, which began on March 17 at 120, then rose to 130 on March 23, then to 140 on March 30, but on April 6 dropped to 115. It rose again to 125 on April 13, then 135 on April 20, then began to decline again to 125 on April 23, 115 on April 24, 110 on April 26, 100 on April 27 and 95 on April 28-29. Predicted solar flux for May 1 is 100, 105 on May 2-3, 110 on May 4, 115 on May 5-6, 120 on May 7, 135 on May 8-9, 130 and 125 on May 10-11, 130 on May 12-14, then 125, 130 and 125 on May 15-17, 120 on May 18-19, and 115 on May 20-23. Flux values are then forecast to drop to 110 on May 27-29, then rise to 135 on June 3-5. Predicted planetary A index is 10 on May 1, 8 on May 2, 5 on May 3-11, 25 on May 12, 20 on May 13-14, then 12, 8, 12, 20, 12 and 8 on May 15-20, 5 on May 21-25, 8 on May 26, and 10 on May 27-28. The next predicted increase is to 25 on June 8. F.K. Janda, OK1HH of the Czech Propagation Interest Group sees active to disturbed geomagnetic conditions on May 1, quiet to active conditions May 2, mostly quiet May 3-6, active to disturbed May 7-8, quiet to active May 9, mostly quiet May 10, quiet on May 11, active to disturbed May 12, disturbed on May 13-14, quiet to active May 15, quiet to unsettled May 16-18, and mostly quiet May 19-20. OK1HH believes that increases in solar wind are difficult to predict, but some peaks are expected May 3-5, May 15-18 and May 20. The days are lengthening, and we sure notice it here at 47.67 degrees latitude. Compared to April 1, on May 5 the Sun rises 60 minutes earlier and sets about 47 minutes later. I'm looking at both days with W6ELprop using a solar flux of 100 over the path from Seattle to Japan, and can see that 20 meters is open about two and a half hours later in the evening of May 5. Also notable is the path from Seattle to Atlanta on both dates, with 17 meters opening 90 minutes later on May 5 and shutting down about two hours later in the night than April 1. Jon Jones, N0JK of Lawrence, Kansas reports that he encountered an unusual 10 meter opening on April 25 around 1800Z. Signals from Europe were extremely loud. He was mobile running 50 watts SSB, and worked 9A9A in Croatia on 28.432 MHz at 1741Z. Signals were S9 with considerable QSB. Then at 1758Z he worked TM0GA in France on 28.446 MHz with loud signals. At 1713Z W8HF in Ohio worked 9A9A running just 5 watts, and got an S9+10dB report. At 1721Z KA2OFM reported that 9A9A was booming into New York. Jon wrote, "I am curious regarding the propagation mode. F2 is possible, but April is late for North America to European openings via F2 on 10 and the solar flux was not high. Some sporadic-E was present on the April 25 on 6 meters, but mostly to the south. Multi-hop sporadic-E occurs to Europe from North America on 10 meters, but April is early in the Summer sporadic-E season for it. Another possibility is a combination of sporadic-E linking to F2. The heavy QSB on the Europeans reminded me of sporadic-E. I wonder if your readers have any comments." David Moore sent a link to a video from the new 1.6-meter telescope at the Big Bear Observatory showing a twisting solar magnetic structure. http://www.space.com/29259-suns-flux-rope-shreds-never-before-seen-hi-res-video.html Another article out of Big Bear: http://www.scienceworldreport.com/articles/24963/20150430/new-solar-telescope-captures-interior-dark-cores-sunspot.htm This report is from April 24 from Jeff, N8II: "USA mobile signals seemed louder than ever on 30 meters from about 200 miles out to over 1000 miles in MO, NE, and IA including many S9+ during the mornings and afternoons even when the K index was 3-4! 40 was not nearly as good. "Today the K index is finally down to 1! XV9NPS was an honest S9 on 15 CW today at 1422Z. Also worked this AM with one call as well YB4IR/8 on Wamar Island OC-249 and YB2BBY/9 (New Guinea or surrounding Is.) on 15 SSB. Also worked at 1424Z E21EJC in Thailand on 12 CW about S5 and 4X67VF (special prefix) on 10 meter CW S7. EU openings are almost over until the fall season on 10 meters, but I am still getting some good EU signals on 12 meters."

[TNX YF1AR] =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** **** GOOD TO KNOW ... **** =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW 8P6DR MISSING RTTY LOGS ---> There is a problem with logs for the 2015 activity, Richard G3RWL (8P6DR) reports. Some RTTY QSOs were lost in the backup process. If you think you had an RTTY QSO with 8P6DR during the following dates: 25 March to 2 April, 4-8 April and 9 April (from 16.22 UTC) to 13 April, but the QSOs do not appear in Club Log, then please contact him immediately (g3rwl[@]amsat.org). After a few days (to correct any broken, or missing, callsigns) he will upload to LOTW. Later amendments will not get onto LOTW. Other information is on his qrz.com page. [TNX G3RWL] NEPAL ---> After the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal on 25 April, 14205 and 14215 kHz are being used by controlled nets for emergency radio traffic. Also 14300 kHz might be used, so please keep these frequencies 5 kHz clear of all transmissions unless you are directly involved in contacts with Nepal. "The ARRL along with other groups around the world are trying to respond to the request for VHF handhelds and other equipment which has been passed over the 20m emergency nets", IARU reported on 30 April. "However the process to get even basic emergency supplies and Search and Rescue Teams into the area is hampered by restricted capacity at Kathmandu Airport and Customs procedures". OC-274 ---> Departure was delayed for 12 hours, and YB4IR and YB8RW left Ambon around 2 UTC on 27 April. Apparently bad weather conditions prevented them from landing for quite some time, as they started activity as YB4IR/8 and YB8RW/p from Pulau Bingkudu, Penyu Islands (OC-274, new one for IOTA) on 29 April around 5 UTC. Then "a bad storm hit the islands", and they were off the air for over 24 hours as they "spent the entire day drying their equipment". Operations resumed around 8 UTC on 1 May. The latest report on https://lucipara2015.wordpress.com adds that Imam and Din now plan to stay on the island until 3 May. =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** ******* QSL ROUTES ******* =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH Direttore Responsabile I2VGW =================================================================== CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER =================================================================== 3A90IARU 3A2ARM E51SUA N7SUA SN85PZK SP3POW 3B8CW NI5DX EG1WRD EB1CAM SN90IARU SP1PMY 3D2KM W6ZL EG2WRD EA2DOP SO70VD SP5ZIP 3XY5M PA7FM EG3WRD EB3CW SO85PZK SP9HQJ 3Z0VD SP5ZHJ EG4WRD EA4TD SO90IARU SQ6PWJ 3Z0WARD SP6IEQ EG5WRD EA5HJY SP0VD SP5KAB 3Z70VD SP5KOG EG8TRV EA8URA SP70VD SP5KCR 3Z85PZK SP4JCP EG90IARU/# EA4URE SP85PZK SP0PZK 3Z90IARU SP6JIU EH90IARU/# EA4URE SP90IARU SP7AH 4L5P UT7QF EI0IMD EI1NC SQ70VD SP5ZRW 4L8A K1BV EI150ITU EI6AL SQ85PZK SP3KWA 4M5M W4SO EI90IARU EI6AL SQ90IARU SP7PTM 4O7TC UA3TCJ EK/DK7AO DK7AO ST2NH EA7FTR 4O90IARU 4O7JAZ EK/DL7UCX DL7UCX SX9PL SP9KAT 5B4AAB G8CLY FS4WBS IZ1MHY T6MH W2GR 5T0ITU ON8RA GB100MFA G0UVX T88DF JH2DFJ 6Y5JH EA5GL GB1STG M0PZT TM0GA F5MAG 7X4RJ EB7DX H44MS DL2GAC TM1IO F5BZK 7X5KBS EA7FTR HF10GALEON SP2YWL TM2F F4GTT 8P2K KU9C HF85PZK SP7PGK TM4JD F8KGS 9G1AA PA3ERA HF90IARU SP1MGM TM6CFG F5FAB 9H3OO S55OO HG90IARU HA5MA TM70IO F5BZK 9M2/R6AF/P R6AF II0SPQR IZ0YCB TM80D F4ELK 9M2TO JA0DMV II7AQP IZ7ECL TM80OIS F5INJ 9M4CBP 9M6MZ IR0IAR IK6IJF TM9B ON4ZD 9M4MIA 9M2ESM IY0GA IS0JMA TT8FC EA3GWK 9M4TI 9M2RDX IY0IMD IZ0QPO TX5P F6BFH A52AEF JH3AEF IY0ORP IZ0FVD UP70GA UN8GA A52ARJ JA3ARJ IY1MG IQ1DI UP70MIR RW6HS A52IVU JA3IVU IY1SP I1ANP UP70MM UN7MAU A52LSS JH3LSS IY4FGM I4KMW UP70O UN1O A9150ITU IZ8CLM IY5PIS IW5AOT UP70V RW6HS AH0J JA1NVF IY6GM IK6VXO UP7GN RW6HS AM890OM DJ1OJ IY7M IZ7XNB V31CS HB9CLA AO150A EA4URE J49TSL SV2DGH V31MA M0OXO AO150E EA4URE J79AUS F6AUS V47GIW W4GIW AO150G EA4URE J79WTA HB9MFM V63DX JA7HMZ AO150H EA4URE JD1BLY JI5RPT VK9NT VK2CA AO150I EA4URE JD1BMH JG7PSJ VP8VPC VP8LP AO150N EA4URE JW/UA3IPL RW6HS VQ9ET DU7ET AO150O EA4URE KB7OBU/KH2 JA3VXH XV5HS EA5ZD AO150R EA4URE LY90IARU LY3BY YC8UTI YB3MM AO150T EA4URE LZ102SIB LZ1KCP YE60AA YB1LZ AO150U EA4URE LZ112RF LZ1YE YN/WJ2O N2ZN AO150V EA4URE LZ90IARU LZ1BJ YN5SU TI4SU AO2015WRD EA4URE MM0KLR MM0GHM YO90IARU YO3KAA AX5PAS M0OXO OE15M OE1WHC YP90IARU YO3KAA AX8AA M0OXO OE2015WCUP OE3VSW YQ90IARU YO3KAA AX9NT VK2CA OP0PPY ON7LX YR90IARU YO3KAA BI4WTTC BA4EG [b] OZ90IARU OZ0J Z21DX PA3CPI BI4WTTC BD4SX [d] PA2015KDD PI4DEC Z81Z K4ZW C6AGM G3USR PA45FREE PD7YY ZD8RH G4DBW C6AMR N4MJR PC45FREE PD7YY ZD9A ZS1LS CP6AA IK6GPZ PD45FREE PD7YY ZF2CI M0URX CP6XE IK6GPZ PF45FREE PD7YY ZF2LC W2SM CR6PS CS5NRA PV150ITU PR7AYE ZF8/ZF2CI M0URX CW1GM CX2ABC PX150ITU PR7AYE ZL100ANZAC ZL3PAH CX20U EA5GL R1945HS RW6HS ZV150ITU PR7AYE DJ90IARU DL2VFR R70ADS R3DO ZW150ITU PR7AYE DK0RZ DL5HAQ RM30SM R3LO ZW2WCA PY2DS DK65DARC DF1QR SN0VD SP5PSL ZX150ITU PR7AYE DL0DFF DL3HBZ SN0ZGP SP6OPZ ZY150ITU PR7AYE DL65DARC DF1QR SN70VD SP5PEP ZZ150ITU PR7AYE 5V7SM C.A.R.
