The news headlines

Further areas of Pakistan connected by amateur radio

Come and try amateur radio direction finding near Wellwyn Garden City

DXpedition to the Isle of Arran

AP2AUM from the Pakistan Amateur Radio Society reports that emergency
communications support has been extended in the past week to include
three more villages. The next stage is to move a repeater installed at
Changla and re-install it at Malakand Heights. This will then be linked
to a cross band repeater at Nowshera, which in turn is connected to the
PARS VHF repeater. The linking of so many repeaters will cause a tail
squelch delay but given the circumstances and lack of proper equipment
it cannot be helped. This will be the first time that the Swat Valley
will be connected with the rest of the country through 2m repeaters.

A come and try ARDF event will be held at Sherrardspark Wood near Welwyn
Garden City on Sunday 12 September. It is being organised in conjunction
with an orienteering event. The session starts at 12 noon. The venue is
off the B197, which runs alongside the A1(M) between junctions 5 and 6.
Parking is at grid reference TL228142. Final details will be posted at
www.rsgb.org.uk/radiosport/ardf/

Now the contest news

The ever-popular SSB Field Day finishes at 1300UTC today, 5 September.
The event covers the 3.5 to 28MHz bands and the exchange is signal
report and serial number.

Also finishing today, 5 September, on VHF, is the 144MHz Trophy. This
finishes at 1400UTC. Another contest that's on 144MHz is the 5th
Backpacker Contest, which takes place today from 1100 to 1500UTC. It's
all modes with an exchange of signal report, serial number and locator.

Overlapping the two RSGB 2m events taking place on Sunday 5th is the WAB
144MHz QRP Phone Contest. Multipliers are WAB squares and DXCC
countries. The event takes place between 1000 and 1400UTC and the
exchange is signal report, serial number and WAB square.

On 7 September, between 1900 and 2130UTC, the 144MHz UK Activity Contest
takes place. Using all modes, the exchange is signal report, serial
number and locator.

The 80m Club Sprint SSB leg takes place on 9 September from 1900 to
2030UTC. The exchange is serial number and name.

The IARU Region 1 International Amateur Television Contest takes place
from 1800UTC on 11 September until 1200UTC on the 12th. Operation is
fast scan, on all bands from 70cm upwards. The video exchange is the
callsign and 4 digits. The phone exchange includes the report, serial
number and locator. Details and full rules are on the web at
www.batc.org.uk.

The 2nd 70MHz Contest takes place on Sunday 12th from 0900 to 1200UTC.
For many years this contest typically attracted between 16 and 21
entries, but last year it shot up to 28. A sign of the times perhaps,
with more and more people in more and more countries coming onto the
band. The exchange is signal report, serial number and locator.

Following the success of the first 75 Baud Sprint and many requests for
a second, BARTG is running a second Sprint 75 on 18 September between
1700 and 2100UTC. On the 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10m bands using RTTY 75
Baud only, the rules and scoring can be found on the BARTG website
http://bartg.co.uk/.

And now the solar factual data for the period from the 23rd to the 29th
of August, compiled by Neil Clarke, G0CAS on the 30th of August.

Solar activity was at very low levels for the week. No solar flares took
place at all. The solar disc was spotless on the 23rd but on the 24th a
large singe spot rotated into view. Solar flux levels declined slightly
from 75 units on the 23rd to 72 by the 28th. The average was 74 units.
The 90 day solar flux average on the 29th was at the same level as last
week at 77 units. X-ray flux levels varied little day to day and
averaged A6 units. Geomagnetic activity started at quiet levels on the
23rd with an Ap index of 5 units but overnight into the 24th a coronal
hole disturbance arrived. The most disturbed day was the 25th with an Ap
index of 20 units. Quiet conditions returned on the 29th with an Ap of
only 2 units. The average was Ap 11 units. Solar wind data from the ACE
spacecraft saw solar wind speeds increase from a slow 270 kilometres per
second on the 23rd to a fast 710 by the next day. Speeds remained fast
until the 29th when they declined to 430 by the end of the day. Particle
densities increased to very high levels with 82 particles per cubic
centimetre measured late on the 23rd. By the 26th particles had declined
to 1 particle per cubic centimetre where they remained for the rest of
the period. Bz during the disturbance fluctuated between minus 14 and
plus 17 nanoTeslas and between minus and plus 2 nanoTeslas once the
magnetic field had quietened down on the 29th.

And now the solar forecast. This week the slightly more active side of
the Sun is expected to be looking our way. Solar activity though, will
probably remain at very low levels but there may be a increased chance
of activity increasing. Solar flux levels are expected to be in the low
80's for most of the week. Geomagnetic activity should be mostly quiet
everyday, saying that, the next couple of days could be slightly
unsettled due to a small recurring coronal hole. MUFs during daylight
hours at equal latitudes should be around 21MHz for the south and 18MHz
for the north. Darkness hour lows are expected to be about 10MHz. Paths
this week to the east coast of North America should have a maximum
usable frequency with a 50 per cent success rate of around 20MHz. The
optimum working frequency with a 90 per cent success rate will be about
15MHz. The best time to try this path will be between 1600 and 2100
hours. Every week these predications are for a quiet geomagnetic field,
any increase in geomagnetic activity will decrease the MUF by several
megaHertz, particularly on paths that go over or close to the polar
regions. Paths over the equator to the southern hemisphere will be the
least effected.

And that's all for this week from the propagation team.
