Special Event Station for National Hamfest

IOTA DXpedition to rare North Atlantic island group

BBC World Service to feature radio curator Gerry Wells

Plans are progressing well for the National Hamfest on 1 and 2 October
at the Newark & Notts Showground. To mark the National Hamfest and Ham
Week UK, Lincoln Short Wave Club will be getting on the air. A special
station is being set up at Newark Showground in the days running up to
this year's National Hamfest, through the weekend and then off-site for
Ham Week UK. HF bands and 2m will be used. The 2m operation will
probably be suspended during the show as activity within the showground
is likely to be heavy. The station will QSL with an attractive card with
the National Hamfest Logo as its front.

Icom UK is to sponsor a DXpedition to the Flannan Islands as part of the
IOTA Programme. The MS0INT team are trying to activate the remote North
Atlantic island group of the Flannans, 20 miles north west of the Outer
Hebrides. Icom UK have loaned two IC-7000 transceivers to the team for
use at the station. As one of the rarest European IOTAs, EU-118, it has
only been claimed by 31.9% of participants in the IOTA programme so the
team will have their work cut out. The MS0INT DXpedition team will try
to be on the air from Friday 18 June until Monday 21 June. There will be
two 24 hour stations operating on all bands from 160-10 metres on both
SSB and CW. They will be situated on the highest point of the island
Eilean MÔr, some 88 metres above sea level.

Gerald Wells, known as Gerry, is the curator of the British Vintage
Wireless and Television Museum in Dulwich, London, which was features in
the December 2008 RadCom. His museum is not open to the general public,
but guided tours are available by appointment. Dan Shepherd has recently
finished making a radio documentary about Gerry for the BBC World
Service. The programme will be broadcast at 9am BST on 20 August,
although it is worth checking the BBC World Service website nearer the
date as the schedule can change.

Flight Refuelling ARS is operating a special event station at Kingston
Lacy House, Wimborne in Dorset on 11 and 12 September as part of the
National Trust open day. The National Trust administration has asked if
other radio clubs in the UK are likely to have a special event station
at other NT sites for their open days. As this is good advertising for
amateur radio, perhaps clubs in the UK could think about this and get in
touch with their National Trust regional coordinator.

Castles And Stately Homes On The Air in Northern Ireland will have a
major activation on 16 July. Bobby, MI0RYL has obtained permission to
activate both the Stormont Parliament Buildings and Stormont Castle
within the Stormont estate in Belfast. To commemorate this activation, a
special QSL card will be issued to any contacts that are made.
Propagation permitting, they hope to cover many bands and modes
throughout the day to allow as many people as possible the opportunity
to make contact. The station should be up and running by 10am with the
castle activation number GI022 and WAB No J37.

There is an update on the GB3GJ repeater group website for those
interested in the activities of the Jersey repeater. Check out their
website at www.radioclubs.net/gb3gj.

On 27 May an agreement on the lease of the Russian part of the Saimaa
Canal zone to Finland was signed by the Prime Ministers of the Republic
of Finland and the Russian Federation. The new 50 year agreement
supersedes the initial lease of 1963 which is due to expire in 2013. The
new lease no longer includes Malyj Vysotskij Island, the present R1MV
DXCC entity. The coming into effect of the agreement is subject to
ratification by the parliament of Finland and the Russian duma later
this year.

Now the solar factual data for the period from the 31st of May to the
6th of June, compiled by Neil Clarke, G0CAS on the 7th of June.

The solar disc had sunspots visible every day, however, no solar flares
occurred and solar activity remained at very low levels. Solar flux
levels declined from 75 units on the 3rd to 68 by the 6th. The average
was 72 units. The 90 day solar flux average on the 6th was 78 units,
that's the same level as last week. X-ray flux levels showed little
variation and averaged A4.7 units. Geomagnetic activity was mostly
unsettled; this was due to the continuing effects of a large coronal
hole. Only the 2nd and the 5th were quiet days with an Ap index of 6
units on both days. The average was Ap 11 units. Solar wind data from
the ACE spacecraft saw solar wind speeds decline from 650 kilometres per
second on the 31st to 400 by the 6th. Particle densities were low every
day. Bz varied around minus 7 and plus 6 nanoTeslas on most days.
Slightly less variations took place on the quieter days.

HF MUFs were depressed by several MHz due to the increase in geomagnetic
activity. However, it also brought aurora at 50, 70 and 144MHz on
several days. There was sporadic-E openings every day£ including 50MHz
openings to the Middle East and the Caribbean. Several openings were up
to 144MHz form the UK.

And now the solar forecast. For now anyway, the rise from sunspot
minimum seems to have slowed. The sudden surge in activity around the
start of the year is over. This is to be expected as solar cycles tend
to rise erratically rather than in a linear manner. Activity will
increase again but with no signs of any increase in solar activity this
week, solar activity will again be very low again. Solar flux levels
should be in the 70's for most of the week. Geomagnetic activity is
expected to be mostly quiet throughout. MUFs during daylight hours at
equal latitudes should be about 19MHz for the south and 16MHz for the
north. Darkness hour lows should be around 11MHz. Paths this week to
Australia should have a maximum usable frequency with a 50 per cent
success rate of about 19MHz. The optimum working frequency with a 90 per
cent success rate will be around 14MHz. The best time to try this path
will be between 0600 and 1000 hours. Sporadic-E should take place most
days with opening up to 144MHz during the larger events.

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