>ARRL June VHF Contest    2/Jun     33

Looks like either CQ misprinted this or someone somewhere made an
assumption that the ARRL June VHF QSO Party is on its traditional
second weekend of June date. As it stands now, the ARRL June VHF
QSO Party is on the FIRST weekend of June in 1994.

I've already written letters to several ARRL people to complain
about the date change. Dave Sumner at ARRL HQ replied to tell me
he is passing it off to the ARRL Membership Services Department.
I don't think there's much chance of the date being moved back to
its traditional second weekend of June.

NOTE: The Effective Sunspot Number for 18 MAR 94 was  28.0.
      The Full Kp Indices for 18 MAR 94 are: 4o 4+ 4+ 2+   3o 2+ 2o 3+
      The 3-Hr Ap Indices for 18 MAR 94 are:  30  32  31   9  15   9   7  20
      Greater than 2 MeV Electron Fluence for 19 MAR is: 4.0E+08


SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------

             Solar activity was very low. Just one simple spot group,
       7692 (N19E19), remains. The northernmost 8 degrees of the large
       diagonally-oriented filament in the western hemisphere
       disappeared during the first part of the day. A prominence
       located near N21E90 was seen to erupt at 0633Z.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to
       persist at very low levels.

            The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels
       for the past 24 hours. Nighttime substorms have weakened. The
       greater than 2 MeV electron event is declining, with peak
       values of near 1.0E+04 observed during the day.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be predominantly unsettled the first half of the
       forecast period. A favorably positioned coronal hole should
       send high speed solar wind this way the latter part of the
       interval. Active to minor storm conditions are anticipated
       then.

            HF propagation conditions were near-normal over all
       regions.  Similar conditions are expected over the next 24 to
       48 hours.  However, another well-placed coronal hole could
       give degraded propagation again on 22 March.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------

             Solar activity was very low. Region 7692 (N18E06)
       is the only region visible. No activity of any type was
       reported.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be
       very low.

            The geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. The greater than
       2 MeV electron fluxes continue to hover near 1.0E+04.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be unsettled to mildly active over the next 24
       hours. High speed solar wind from a well-located coronal
       hole is due early on 22 March. This disturbance should slowly
       weaken by the end of the interval.

Has anyone else picked up the role of keeping the stacks up-to-date? Is there a

Now let us not forget third-party treaties and business traffic rules.

When In doubt I find that a good course is to follow the more restrictive of
the rulings that apply.

The may not really be an "on point answer" but it is my 2 cents/2 agarot worth.

AMATEUR RADIO EXAMINATION OPPORTUNITIES



*****************************************************************

Special Note: Amateur Radio licenses usually arrive between 8 and
    10 weeks after the test session.  The FCC considers their
    processing time to be 90 days--from the date they receive the
    application.  The FCC usually receives the application one
    to two weeks after the test session (once the VE Team and the
    coordinating VEC have completed their processing).


Note: Codeless Technician to Technician w/HF upgraders (who pass a
    Morse code test) will not receive a new license from the FCC.
    The existing Technician license plus the CSCE conveying the Morse
    code test credit is the only documentation issued for use of
    the additional HF privileges.

ARRL/VEC for the upcoming six to eight week period.  For

ATTENTION:

     Energetic electrons at greater than 2 MeV are finally abating back
toward quieter levels.  This disturbance lasted 11 days and is expected to
recur around 04 or 05 April when the coronal hole associated with this
activity returns to a geoeffective position.

Subject: What is (and how do I make) a diplexer?
To: [e-mail]

I know I could go and buy a diplexer ( to drive a VHF and a UHF antenna from
the single output of my dual bander) but they seem very expensive for what
should only be a couple of coils and a couple of capacitors (OK a few of each).

I have checked all my antenna and radio books, and all those I can find in
the library, but none of them even mentions diplexers.

Can someone please point me towards or provide design details, or a circuit
description, or ANYTHING. Maybe even a different (i.e.correct) name so I can
find them in the index. I don't believe there is nothing written about them.

Incidentally, I am UK based, so UK magazines (i.e. RadCom or PW) would do...

Thanks

David (GM0SYA)
