- SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
- --------------------
-
- Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed in
- the last 24 hours.
-
- Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
- very low.
-
- The geomagnetic field ranged from unsettled to major storm
- levels. The last 24 hours have been typical of the last two
- days: mostly minor storm levels at mid-latitudes with periods
- of major storm at high latitudes were observed from 02/2100Z
- through about 1200Z; conditions declined to unsettled levels
- with active periods at high latitudes for the remainder of the
- period.
-
- STD: Electrons at greater than 2 MeV have again become
- enhanced. The enhancement began roughly near 14:00 UTC.
- Electrons approached or reached high levels at geosynchronous
- altitudes at about 20:00 UTC. Based on recurrence, this
- disturbance may last through to 16 or 17 May. Overall fluence
- levels were moderate.
-
- Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
- expected to persist over the next three days in a similar
- pattern to today. Generally active conditions with periods of
- storming are likely during local nighttimes and unsettled to
- active conditions are expected during the daytime hours.
-
- Event probabilities 04 may-06 may
-
- Class M 01/01/01
- Class X 01/01/01
- Proton 01/01/01
- PCAF Green

-
- B. High Latitudes
- Active 30/30/30
- Minor Storm 45/35/35
- Major-Severe Storm 10/10/10
-
- HF propagation conditions continued below normal for high
- and polar latitude signal paths. Middle latitude paths
- experienced periodic below-normal propagation with slightly
- below-normal daytime propagation. MUFs from the polar to
- middle latitude paths have been depressed between 15 and 35
- percent. Conditions are expected to continue below-normal
- throughout at least the next 72 hours.

- I have three Heil headsets. Two of the open-air style jobs, one with the

- the #5 element. I think overall, I like the #5, even for contesting.

- on the monitor and on the DVR, I like the #5 better. Rig on this end is
- also a TS-940.

- Yes, you can. My old impact license was set to expire in 1998, but I
- wanted a good looking laser-printed license, so I sent in for a renewal.
- This was two years ago when I did thig. I recieved back a great looking

- A valid inquiry, and one that deserves an answer. Now don't take this
- personally, but there are others who aren't as mature here. After having
- been flamed in the past for off topic material, I am not waiting to go on
- the defensive, I am taking the bull by the horns. It's not intended for
- you, but for some others who haven't spoken up yet, or those that did, and
- I didn't get their replys. (Our sysadmin decided to knock off a few
- hackers so they letter bombed our spool and we lost a couple of megs of
- mail, undoubtidly a few KB's were mine).
-
- My weekly comentaries on Spectrum will deal with all aspects of
- communication. Because of the cross interest most Hams have, and the
- posability of not everyone who is interested having access to all the
- newsgroups, I will crosspost them here. If you have a good reader, you
- will only see it once. But if you check r.r.a.misc first, it will only seem
- like it's in the wrong place whenever the commentary has nothing to do with
- amateur radio.
-
- I see no objections to my posting of Newsline each week? (Actually, I
- don't post it directly to avoid duplication, Mark automatically crossposts
- when I submit it to him for r.r.info). What if I tagged my comment on to
- Newsline? I bet there would be no complaints then.
-
- I'm not allowed to add to, subtract from, or alter the Newsline text, and I
- made that rule. But if I did, and put a header or disclaimer that it
- wasn't part of Newsline, there would still be people who wouldn't realize
- it, simply because they don't read. The first line of each posting lists
- Bill, WA6ITF, as the publisher, so why did I get a letter today asking if I
- was the publisher? If the header says send your comments to Bill, then
- why do I get comments? Why did a Ham on another net who openly reprinted
- "digipeater rabbit", GIVING FULL CREDIT TO THE AUTHOR, get replys like,
- "this is the best thing you ever wrote"?
-
- The point is that if you see something YOU don't think should be here, read
- it again. If you still don't get it, just remember there may be others that
- do. So show some maturity, skip it and read something else. This is a NOT
- your personal newsgroup, it is world wide and is read by to people who
- may find it interesting.
-
- Ranting and raving and, (if it's one of mine), flaming me isn't going to
- make me stop, I already stated why and we're only talking about one message
- a week. If you think you can stop anyone that way, then you are nothing
- more than a censor. While we do need them to protect the morals of kids
- and morons, those that try to censor ideas are lowest form of scum on the
- earth.
-
- As far as I'm concerned, the complaints have as much value as someone
- saying he only has Icom in his shack and doesn't want to see anyone post
- anything about Yeasu, Drake, Kenwood or whatever. They just make the
- complainer look immature, close minded and stupid.
-
- SPECTRUM is heard on WWCR/5810 Khz at 0300 UTC-Sunday/10PM Eastern,

-
- We'd like it to be in the are of electronics. Audio applications, signal
- processing, waveform modification, signal generation, filtering, etc. I don't
- know what else... so many different things, we hardly know where to start.
-
- Other options that we'd like to consider are those in the communication
- electronics area. We'll be having communic. theory and electronics classes
- next year, so right now, we don't have much to go on in that area. I am an
- amateur radio operator. Something dealing with that would be really great!
-
- Other areas of interest that might generate a good project would me some
- digital / electronics combination, applications dealing w/ transistors as
- switching (not in a power situation, but rather small things).
-
- This project lasts two semesters. In the fall we finalize our project. Write
- up some designs, present the project, make a "project request" or something
- like that. Then, by Dec., have it ready to put together. Starting in Jan., we
- build a prototype, fix it, get it to work (ie. re-design and re-design and..).
- Finally, we'll end the semester by writing final reports, documentation and
- doing more presentations.
-
- We'd like any ideas for projects that you think would be interesting,
- obtainable, and fit the idea of this "senior project."
-
- ___PLEASE____ if you've got any ideas, send some email to me. Just give us a
- couple of ideas that you might have. I'll post a summery to the list if I get
- some responses.
