NOTE: The Effective Sunspot Number for 03 JAN 94 was 67.0. The Full Kp Indices for 03 JAN 94 are: 3- 1- 3o 3+ 3+ 3- 3- 1+ SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY -------------------- Solar activity was low. Most of the small flares seen during the period came from Region 7648 (N06E56). Region 7645 (N13W09) had the largest event, a C2/SF at 0310Z. This spot group continued its slow decay and simplification. The remaining three spotted regions were unimpressive. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be low. An isolated M-class flare may occur should Region 7645 redevelop. The geomagnetic field has been mostly quiet. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled. Event probabilities 05 jan-07 jan Class M 25/25/25 Class X 05/05/05 Proton 05/05/05 PCAF Green Geomagnetic activity probabilities 05 jan-07 jan A. Middle Latitudes Active 20/20/20 Minor Storm 10/10/10 Major-Severe Storm 01/01/01 B. High Latitudes Active 20/20/20 Minor Storm 10/10/10 Major-Severe Storm 01/01/01 HF propagation conditions were normal over all regions. Australian communicators have noted additional openings on VHF FM bands near 90 to 100 MHz covering fairly large distances. The suspected source of these openings is sporadic-E. No changes in propagation are expected over the next 3 days, through at least 07 January inclusive. Normal propagation should persist.

Characters preceding begin, max, and end times are defined as: B = Before, U = Uncertain, A = After. All times associated with x-ray flares (ex. flares which produce associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the x-rays. Flares which are not associated with x-ray signatures use the optical observations to determine the begin, max, and end times. Acronyms used to identify sweeps and optical phenomena include: II = Type II Sweep Frequency Event III = Type III Sweep IV = Type IV Sweep V = Type V Sweep Continuum = Continuum Radio Event Loop = Loop Prominence System, Spray = Limb Spray, Surge = Bright Limb Surge, EPL = Eruptive Prominence on the Limb. ** End of Daily Report ** ------------------------------ Date: 8 Jan 94 00:15:11 GMT From: ogicse!emory!europa.eng.gtefsd.com!gatech!mailer.acns.fsu.edu!freenet.scri.fsu.edu!twright@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Examination Opportunities Scheduled 1/06/94 to 4/25/94 To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Amateur Radio <ARRL-VE> testing will be conducted Sunday February 6th, 1994 at 13:00 hrs EST at the Morehead/Rowan County D.E.S.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu I am going to Alaska again this year, and would like to investigate whether it is possible to make phone calls from way up high by radio (check on the kids, etc.). Is this possible to do via a portable radio? If so, can you give any pointers on how to get started...I have until May 27 to get this going. Thanks, Chris Magnuson chrism@col.hp.com ------------------------------ Date: 7 Jan 1994 23:51:35 GMT From: nothing.ucsd.edu!brian@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Repeater database? To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Some years ago, one of our repeaters stopped working. When we got up on the the mountain, we found out why: Someone had torched the door off the building, stolen all the Motorola and GE repeaters out of the building (demonstrating good taste, they left the RCA repeaters alone). On their way out, just for good measure, they cut the guy wires on the tower. When the storm hit a few days later, 70 feet of H-frame tower blew over the side of the mountain to the desert floor below, taking our antennas and a good portion of our coax with it. The solar panels were smashed beyond repair. Want to know where our repeaters are now?

If you look on any of your modern commercial gear you should see an FCC ID number on the tag with the serial number. The only non-type approved equipment that can be used is homebrew, and then only if you make one of a kind per year and hf+ (<144 MHz) external RF power amplifiers, again only one of a kind per year.

I have been told that Motorola makes a quad. detector that can be used as a synchronous detector, but I have not been able to find an application note to that effect. Please help me if you know where I can get a schematic. 73's, Greg WA9EYY ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Jan 1994 20:17:51 GMT From: world!dbr@uunet.uu.net Subject: What Kind of Antenna Is This? To: info-hams@ucsd.edu A mobile antenna I've seen in various cities, almost exclusively on municipal vehicles, looks sort of like a folded sheet of cardboard lying upright on the long side. In other words, it's about four inches high, ten inches long and maybe an inch thick. Does anyone know what this might be? With its low profile, it might make an interesting ham antenna. -- Dan N2EDC, who reminds you as a public service: It's: contraction of "it is." Its: possessive form of "it." ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Jan 1994 15:12:29 GMT From: csus.edu!netcom.com!greg@decwrl.dec.com Subject: Where's my QST?
