- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- NudeNet is a radio net for radio amateurs that are also nudists and
- naturists. We meet each Thursday evening at 0000Z on or near
- 14.265MHz depending on QRM.
-
- Most times, there are 10-20 check-ins. If you're a nudist,
- a naturist, or just curious about clothing-optional recreation,
- please check-in.
-
- Discussions on NudeNet cover a wide range of topics but mostly
- center around topics related to nude recreation, such as nude
- beaches, nudist resorts, hot springs, nude hiking, etc.
-
- Additionally, most of the regular participants are able to
- provide information about clothing-optional recreation opportunities
- in many areas of North America (or the world for that matter).
- A quarterly newsletter is also slated to begin publication shortly.
-
- We announce "current events" on an electronic mailing list.
- If you'd like to be added to this mailing list, please send email to
-
- ben@yosemite.sps.mot.com
-
- Include a short note telling us something about yourself that can be
- used as a first post. This serves as your introduction to the group.

- SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
- --------------------
-
-
- Solar activity was very low. Very little activity occurred
- during the day, but the sun continues to generate numerous
- small centers of emerging flux. Regions 7713 (N07E26) and 7715
- (N08W42) showed steady growth during the period. A new region
- number 7716 (N02W14) was assigned to newly emerging spots
- today.
-
- Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
- low. Recent growth in 7713 suggests that there is a fair chance
- for an isolated C-class flare.
-
- The geomagnetic field ranged from unsettled to major storm
- levels. Minor to major storm conditions dominated from 01/2100Z
- through about 02/1200Z. Conditions subsided to unsettled to
- active for the remainder of the day. The disturbance is
- probably the result of a favorably positioned coronal hole.
-
- Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
- expected to be active at mid-latitudes and minor storm at high
- latitudes for the next 12-24 hours due to persistence. Con-
- ditions should transition to unsettled to active levels on the
- second and third days.
-
- Event probabilities 03 may-05 may
-
- Class M 01/01/01
- Class X 01/01/01
- Proton 01/01/01
- PCAF Green
-
- Geomagnetic activity probabilities 03 may-05 may
-
- A. Middle Latitudes
- Active 50/25/10
- Minor Storm 30/10/05
- Major-Severe Storm 05/05/05
-
- B. High Latitudes
- Active 35/25/10
- Minor Storm 30/10/05
- Major-Severe Storm 15/05/05
-
- HF propagation conditions were below-normal from the high
- to the upper-middle latitude regions today. Geomagnetic and
- auroral substorming has resulted in poor to occassionally very
- poor propagation over the high latitudes and generally fair to
- occassionally poor propagation over affected middle latitude
- paths. Similar conditions are expected to persist over the
- next 24 to 48 hours before returning to less disturbed levels.

- PIRATE USING RAC HEADQUARTERS CALL SIGN
-
- Industry Canada has been notified of a pirate station operating on
- Packet Radio using RAC's new Headquarters station call-sign "VA3RAC". An
- "anonymous" packet message originating out of a Georgetown Ontario BBS
- discredited and attacked members of RAC's national executive.
-
- Canadian amateurs are advised that VA3RAC messages or news bulletins
- originate out of the Kingston Ontario BBS "VE3CDY" only. Officials are seeking
- information leading to the identity of the persons illegally using the VA3RAC
- "pirated" call-sign. RAC legal counsel is examining abusive Packet messages
- used to defame individuals. Legal action is contemplated.

- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Is there a document on-line that will give me a listing of the frequencies
- of all the US TV channels (over-the-air, cable and UHF)?:
-
- e.g.: Channel 2 = 54-60 MHz.
- Cable "A" = 120-126
- UHF 21 = 512-518
-
- A referral to a book or magazine would be almost as good.
-
-
- Thanx!

- In a previous article, t1terryb@cascade.ens.tek.com (Terry Burge) says:
-
- >One thing I have noted, any vertical you listed and I have seen advertized
- >is extremely short and inefficient on 80/160 meters because the feedpoint
- >resistance is like 1-10 ohms and the reactance is 300-1000 ohms. Hard to
- >get the antenna current up and to radiate. Check out the book.
- >
- Because of space limitations I use a ground-mounted 12AVQ (20, 15 and 10m)
- and while it gets out fine and hears reasonably well on those bands, even
- though I can get it look good to the transceiver with a transmatch, it
- will not radiate more than a dozen or so miles on 40 and 80.
