You are listening to ZS6SRL. Stay tuned for more detail on these and
other important and interesting news items.


GET READY FOR YOUTHDAY 2007


Is your club and are you ready for Youth Day 2007? The objective of
this year's June 16 activity day is to get as many young people to
experience amateur radio by operating an amateur radio station under
your supervision and talking to other young people on the air.


The emphasis should be on operating an amateur station, not on just
handing the microphone to your young guest to say a few words.


Spend some time, showing how to operate the transceiver and how to go
about calling CQ or another station. After that you sit back and keep
a
watchful eye on the operation and give guidance as required. Don't
take
over.


To make it all legal, simply complete the registration for an
educational station. It is available on the web at www.sarl.org.za,
click on SARL forms and download the registration as an educational
station form, complete the form and fax the completed form to the
number on the form. The next step is to send an email to
and give details of the youth day activities you or
your club are planning.


The SARL is also planning a special event where the youth can talk to
an interesting personality. It was planned to have Mark Shuttleworth
as
the guest, but due to last minute changes in Mark's travelling
schedule
he had to pull out. The SARL is talking to other personalities and
once
finalised details will be available on the web. The special event will
be between 10 and 11:30 CAT and to ensure that your group is given an
opportunity, it is advisable to register by sending an e-mail to
. Although there will be some open time, there is a
better opportunity if you have a booked slot so you don't have to
compete with other stations.


Guidelines on how to make Youth Day 2007 a great success will be
available on the web from tonight at www.sarl.org.za, click on youth
activity at the bottom of the left hand side column. Also look for
regular updates.


CALL FOR BURSARY APPLICATIONS


The Itchen Valley Radio Club has made three bursaries available for
Students under the age of 25 to become radio amateurs. The bursaries
are each valued at R650 and will assist students to enter the October
2007 Class A Radio Examination. The bursaries are known as the Itchen
Valley Radio Club YARP 2007 Bursaries and cover the examination
enrolment fee and one year's junior membership of the SARL upon
passing
the examination and R150 towards tuition costs levied by local clubs
teaching the RAE. The tuition manual is available free of charge from
the SARL web at www.sarl.org.za


"We decided that as part of our outreach we would make a contribution
to the development of amateur radio in South Africa, particularly
amongst the younger generation", Quentin Gee, the Itchen Valley Radio
Club Secretary, told SARL News.


The SA Amateur Radio Development Trust administers the bursaries. The
closing date for applications is extended until 30 June 2007.
Applications forms are available on www.amateurradio.org.za.


NEXT PRESIDENT'S NET AND INTECNET ON 1 JULY


The next President's Net and Intecnet will be held on Sunday 1 July

20:00. The subject for discussion on the Intecnet will be about home
construction. Stay tuned for more details.


SARL FAX NUMBER - PLEASE CHANGE YOUR RECORDS


Some time ago the SARL fax number at the NARC was converted to a
faxmail system which allows faxes to be received on the office PC with
the facility to email the fax to councillors if the fax requires their
attention.


The new number is the old number with a 088 prefix. The full fax
number
is thus 088 011 675 2793.


Please use the full 13-digit number, failing to do so means that your
fax will no longer arrive at the NARC.


LAST CHANGE TO ENTER THE 2007 CONSTRUCTION COMPETITION


The closing date for entries is Monday 11 June. The competition is an
open competition where the entrant decides what he or she would like
to
enter. Once all the paper entries are received, the judging committee
will meet to evaluate all the paper entries and select five finalists.

Each finalist will have up to R1 000 at his/her disposal to construct
the project.


The closing date for the completed project is 31 July 2007 and the
prizes will be presented at the SARL RTA in Johannesburg on 18 August.
Verstay, Yaesu distributors in South Africa, will present the two
overall winners with a Yaesu 2 metre mobile transceiver. Full details
on www.amateurradio.org.za.

The SARL Digital Contest will be run on Sunday 24 June 2007 from 15:00
to 18:00 CAT. Following a suggestion from the SARL VHF Manager, the
contest has been changed to include 6 and 2 metres as well. The rules
can be found in the 2007 SARL Contest Manual.


PROPAGATION REPORT


Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP, reports that the expected solar activity will
be at low to moderate levels with a slight chance of high activity.
The
geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet. The expected Effective Sun
Spot number for the coming week will be less than 15. The higher sun
activity in conjunction with a quiet geomagnetic field may lead to a
bit of excitement.


20 and 40 metres will provide best opportunities for DX. There is a
possibility of 20 metre openings towards India from about 16:00 CAT.
20
metre may open towards Australia from 07:00. From about 17:00, there
may be 20 metre openings towards Europe. At about 16:00 short 20 metre
openings towards the West Coast of the USA are possible. Otherwise,
contacts to the USA are going to be very challenging. For the CW and
digital enthusiasts, it may also be worth monitoring 10 MHz.


Remember that HF always has the capability to surprise you. You will
never know what you are missing unless you switch your rig on, listen
and call CQ.


Please visit www.spaceweather.co.za for further information.
