Several B-class x-ray bursts occurred, none of which were optically correlated. All sunspot regions appeared to be stable. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be very low to low. Region 7620 (N04W53) could produce an isolated C-class subflare. The geomagnetic field has been at mostly quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels during the first two days. Activity will increase to active to minor storm levels on the final day due to coronal hole effects.

A single B-class subflare occurred. New Regions 7624 (N03E13) and 7625 (S14E14) were numbered. Region 7625 showed gradual growth during the day. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be very low to low. Region 7625 could produce an isolated C-class subflare. The geomagnetic field has been at mostly quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be at mostly unsettled levels during the first day. Coronal hole effects are expected to increase activity to active levels during the second day, then major storm levels on the final day. Brief periods of severe storming could occur late in the period as well.

High Latitudes Active 35/35/20 Minor Storm 20/20/20 Major-Severe Storm 10/10/50 HF propagation conditions continued normal over all regions. Conditions will continue near-normal on 29 November and should remain near-normal for a fair portion of 30 November, although signal degradation over the high and polar latitude paths will begin to affect communications on these higher latitude paths. Very poor to occasionally useless propagation is expected on 01 and 02 December (with emphasis on 01 December) in response to the anticipated major geomagnetic storm. Middle latitudes are expected to see fair to occasionally very poor propagation with strongest signal degradation occuring during the local night and sunrise sectors. If recurrence is any indication, full recovery from this disturbance will not likely be observed for at least 2 to 4 days after the geomagnetic storming ends (on 02 or 03 December).

Three C-class x-ray bursts occurred and were probably produced by new Region 7627 (S19E85). Active surge and prominence activity accompanied the region as it rotated into view midway through the period. New Region 7626 (N28E12) was also numbered. STD: Strong Ca XV emissions were observed today on the southeast limb centered at S19, spanning from S31 to S10. These emissions were also accompanied by strong Fe X and Fe XIV emissions. Weak Ca XV emissions were observed yesterday. This area is also bright in x-rays, as seen by the Yohkoh satellite. A full-disk Yohkoh image has been reduced and appended to this report. The large northern polar coronal hole extension is also clearly visible, approaching the central meridian at 00:40 UTC on 29 November. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be low. Region 7627 may continue to produce C-class activity. The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Isolated active periods also occurred. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to active levels during the first day increasing to major storm levels during the second day. Brief severe storm periods could also occur during the second day, particularly at high latitudes. Activity is expected to decline to active to minor storm levels during the final day. This activity is expected due to recurrent coronal hole effects. Event probabilities 30 nov-02 dec Class M 10/10/10 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green Geomagnetic activity probabilities 30 nov-02 dec A. Middle Latitudes Active 35/20/35 Minor Storm 15/25/25 Major-Severe Storm 10/40/20 B. High Latitudes Active 35/20/30 Minor Storm 20/20/30 Major-Severe Storm 10/50/20 HF propagation conditions were normal over all regions. Tommorrow (30 November) should see the last period of stable ionospheric communications. Late on 30 November and/or particularly on 01 December, conditions are expected to become substantially disturbed. High and polar latitude paths are expected to become frequently useless, particularly during the local night and sunrise sectors due to potentially strong geomagnetic and auroral storm activity. These effects should also migrate to the middle-latitude regions, affecting many middle-latitude paths and limiting propagation to more north-south oriented paths. Conditions are not expected improve for several days after the storming subsides, but should have returned to near-normal by about 04 or 05 December. NOTE that there is a chance for VHF auroral backscatter during the most disturbed periods (geomagnetic K-indices of 6 or more). Please report VHF and or other unusual or interesting HF/VHF contacts during this period to: COler@Solar.Stanford.Edu.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Hello netters, (Particularly Penn State Students, Faculty, Staff, and Alumni) This is a brief note telling all of you that the Penn State ARC is still alive. As the Vice-President, I am interested in hearing from some of you who are or were in the Penn State system. If you are a current student, or faculty/staff member, you can be a part of the Penn State ARC (PSARC). Contact me at my E-Mail address for info. (dcr117@psuvm.psu.edu) or via packet radio (n2oqn@w3ya.pa.usa.noam) If you are an one of PSU's vast alumni, let me know how you are doing/what you are up to. We would all be interested in hearing from you guys, and sharing interesting college stories/ham radio stories at our meetings. To let you know where the club is/has been going I'll tell you a little bit about the station... We are running the following equipment: Kenwood TS940S HF Rig Kenwood TS820S HF Rig Dentron MLA-2500B Linear Heathkit SB-220 Linear Mosley TH7DX 7 Element Tribander Yaesu FT736R 2/440 Satellite Rig AEA PK-232MBX for RTTY, Packet, etc... (And other assorted stuff...) Projects in the works are, completion of a 2/440 Satellite antenna array, replacement of a terminal for packet/data operation, antenna and tower maintainence, and other stuff... (I have probably forgotten many things...) So, let me know what you guys are doing... Again, reply to this message, or send packet mail to n2oqn@w3ya.pa.usa.noam. Thanks and 73, Dan Raneri (N2OQN) Vice President, Penn State Amateur Radio Club ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1993 09:54:04 GMT From: cs.utexas.edu!utnut!torn!nott!cunews!freenet.carleton.ca!Freenet.carleton.ca!aj467@uunet.uu.net Subject: Pyramid Schemes To: info-hams@ucsd.edu When you see this crap on the net, everyone of you should reply E-mail to the originators account, with the entire message intact.

However I made one tonight with an HF amplifier accident. Fortunately for me I'm still here to read this message. We still have headaches from the 40 amp 110 volt component that flew out of the case in great fury, trying to catch the RF that was generated for the split second of plasma flash. I'm not throwing that switch tomorrow night ... someone else can do that. Now as to the Photon energy thing, I have only one question. What type of wine, a red or a white, is best served with crow. Can you recommend a good Label or vintage. -- Bill VE3NJW Advanced Amateur Packet Address : VE3NJW@VE3KYT.#EON.ON.CAN Freenet Address: aj467@Freenet.Carleton.ca ------------------------------ Date: (null) From: (null) SB DX ARL ARLD065 ARLD065 DX news Documentation has been received and approved for the following operations: 3D2UF operations beginning 20 November 1992 4J1FM operations beginning 21 October 1992 4J1FW operations beginning 21 October 1992 5W1VL operations beginning 25 November 1992 6O/FE1LVR operations beginning 18 January 1993 A61AF operations beginning 3 August 1993 C56V operations beginning 30 October 1993 C56/KF7AY operations beginning 28 Otober 1993 C56/AA7NO operations beginning 28 October 1993 C56/N7BG operations beginning 28 October 1993 KH2/N6SVL operations beginning 5 November 1993 KH6/N6SVL operations beginning 3 November 1993 V51/DJ2ZS operations beginning 17 August 1993 V51/DJ0WQ operations beginning 17 August 1993 V51/DK2WH operations beginning 21 July 1993 V63UF operations beginning 10 November 1993 V73UF operations beginning 17 November 1993 YA1AR operations beginning 5 December 1992 ZK1AUF operations beginning 17 November 1992 ZL/N6SVL operations beginning 11 November 1992 ZS9/DJ2ZS operations beginning 6 August 1993 ZS9/DJ0WQ operations beginning 6 August 1993 ZS0PI operations beginning 28 July 1993 NNNN /EX ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1993 09:46:07 GMT From: swrinde!cs.utexas.edu!utnut!torn!nott!cunews!freenet.carleton.ca!Freenet.carleton.ca!aj467@network.ucsd.edu To: info-hams@ucsd.edu References <1993Nov30.153613.461@ke4zv.atl.ga.us>, <9311291536.AA28993@ocpfcad>, <CH9Jnp.F9v@freenet.carleton.ca>a Reply-To : aj467@Freenet.carleton.ca (Bill Macpherson) Subject : Re: expensive?

I wasn't trying to suggest that the C=64 is the final answer to Packet, merely that you don't have to have the biggest, fastest, most expensive toys on the block to participate in Ham Radio. With respect to the Baycom, it was developed ( hacked ) on the C=64, and cloned/ported/ whatever to the IBM environment. I wasn't trying to present the whole story. I was just trying to present the "Frugal Gourmet/Urban Peasant" approach to Ham Radio. See I do watch things besides ( yuck WWF ) and I'm not married to my sister either.

Actually, there is a very simple solution to this problem which I just now thought of. Why didn't I think of it before?? Is your AM detector on on your FT-530? (Don't ask me about the display. I dunno.) Tune to the offending signal (on frequency--not off) and press F/M 0 F/m # (or VFO whatever it's label is) See if that don't clear it up. 73, -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV | God is love.
