Amateurs assist stricken vessel

German amateurs honour RSGB past president

Very special callsign for RSGB IARU Contest Team

If all else fails there's always amateur radio. David Ogg, M0OGY, was
holding a QSO with Ian, VK3MO in Melbourne in Australia using the long
path at nearly 24,000km. Later into the QSO he heard a Break station
that turned out to be AI4FH, Maritime Mobile off the coast of Spain, who
had lost his mast and sails in a massive storm. He asked for their
assistance via amateur radio. David filmed the whole episode for YouTube
and has posted the video. He says, `it just goes to show in these modern
times, when all else fails there is amateur radio'. You can find the
video on YouTube by searching on M0OGY and looking for the QSO with Ian,
VK3MO.

At a DARC hosted dinner in Friedrichshafen, DARC Chairman Steffen,

number and WAB square. The maximum permitted power is 10 watts. Full
details of the rules and log sheets may be obtained from the WAB

G3XKT, email .

July is the final month of the 80m Club Championships and we begin with
the CW session on the 2nd. Using CW only between 1900 and 2030UTC, the
exchange is signal report and serial number.

Tuesday 3 July sees the 144MHz UK Activity Contest take place from 1900
to 2130UTC. Using all modes, the exchange is signal report, serial
number and locator.

VHF NFD takes place over the weekend of 7 and 8 July. At one time there
was only one section in VHF NFD, but over the years the number has
gradually increased. These days there are six sections, including two
for single-ops who stay at home and sweep the bands looking for the
portable entrants. The number of teams, sweepers excluded, entering is
almost the same now as it was 15 years ago, which is the earliest date
of the results on the Contest Committee website. Running from 1400 to
1400UTC and using all modes on the 50 to 1296MHz bands, the exchange is
signal report, serial number and locator.

On Sunday 8th, the third leg of the 144MHz Backpackers Contest takes

for one hour after VHF NFD ends. The maximum power in this event is 3
watts. Running from 1100 to 1500UTC and using all modes, the exchange is

10 metre bands using phone and or CW. The rules for the 2012 contest are
available at www.arrl.org/iaru-hf-championship.

And now the solar factual data for the period from Friday the 22nd to
Thursday the 28th of June, compiled by Neil Clarke, G0CAS on Friday 29th
of June.

For the first two days of the period only one small sunspot group was
visible. Solar activity was very low on the 22nd and the 24th. However,
from the 25th other groups appeared and several C class solar flares
took place and on the 28th. Activity increased to moderate levels when
an impulsive M2 solar flare took place. Solar flux levels increased
every day, from 84 units on the 23rd, which is the lowest daily figure
since last August, to 120 by the 28th. The average was 96 units. The 90
day solar flux average on the 28th was 118 units, that's one unit down
on last week. X-ray flux levels also increased and ended the period at
B3.2 units. The average was B1.1 units. Geomagnetic activity was quiet
every day and the average was Ap 7 units. Solar wind data from the ACE
spacecraft saw solar wind speeds vary between 340 and 520 kilometres per
second. Particle densities were moderate most days, varying between 10
and 35 particles per cubic centimetre. Bz never varied more than minus
and plus 8 nanoTeslas during the period. Es propagation took place
between 28 and 70MHz daily, at times exceeding 100MHz, with very little
propagation on 144MHz, for the UK anyway.

And finally the solar forecast. This week solar activity is expected to
continue at low levels but there is a chance that activity could
increase to moderate levels with an M class solar flare taking place on
some days. Solar flux levels should increase and be around the 130 mark
for most of the week. Geomagnetic activity should be at active levels at
first due to a recurring coronal hole but levels should become quiet
around midweek. MUFs during daylight hours at equal latitudes should be
around 22MHz for the south and 19MHz for the north. Darkness hour lows
should be about 14MHz. Paths this week to the Middle East should have a
maximum usable frequency with a 50 per cent success rate of about 21MHz.
The optimum working frequency with a 90 per cent success rate will be
around 16MHz. The best time to try this path will be between midday and
1900 hours. Sporadic-E is expected to take place most days, also
double-hop Sporadic-E is possible on 28MHz and 50MHz to the Middle East
during any large openings.

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