- SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
- --------------------
-
- Solar activity was very low. Only a single B5/SF flare
- in spotless Region 7719 (S07W56) with an associated small
- disappearing filament was noted. Region 7722 (N07E52) grew
- slightly but remains magnetically simple. Regions 7724
- (S06W10), 7725 (N06E25), and 7726 (N08E65) were numbered today.
-
- Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
- low. Region 7722 has the best chance of producing C-class
- activity and a very slight chance for an isolated M flare.
-
- The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled
- levels for the past 24 hours. The energetic electron flux
- (GT 2 MeV) remained at high levels.
-
- STD: Overall fluence levels for greater than 2 MeV electrons
- were very high.
-
- Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
- expected to be quiet to unsettled for the next 12 to 18 hours,
- becoming unsettled to active thereafter due to a well
- positioned coronal hole.

-
- HF propagation conditions were normal over all regions.
- Reports of sporadic-E have been noted for some low latitude
- stations affecting frequencies as high as 20 MHz from a few
- minutes to several hours. Minor signal degradation may return
- to the high and polar latitude regions over the next 24 to 48
- hours. Otherwise, near-normal propagation should persist.

- NOTES:
- All times are in Universal Time (UT). 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.

-
- By the looks of the bands, everyone has gone out to play golf or
- tennis or something, because there have been few stations on the air
- in the past week. Maybe they have been checking their gear for the
- A. Volta contest this weekend.

- Notes of Interest:
-
- ALBANIA ZA. Zdeno, OK2PZW will active during the CQWW WPX CW Contest
- May 28 and 29. Before the contest he will be active as ZA/OK2PZW on
- CW/SSB and RTTY, all bands with only 10 watts.
-
- RARE RTTY ACTIVITY. For what happens this week in the Yemen area we
- lost a chance to put this rare one active on RTTY. We were trying to
- set up digital activity as Jacques, J28JJ had possibility to travel
- there. How long will we have to wait now? If hopes for 7O are gone
- at the present, other countries are still waiting to return active on
- RTTY. For example Libya, 5A. The last and only RTTY activity from
- there was in May, 1965.
-
- GUERNSEY GU. DC9KZ, DL9YAJ and DL6ET will be active for about 3 weeks
- starting June 1 using each call GU/. Modes include RTTY. QSL via
- bureau to the homecalls.
-
- TONGA A35. Look for Paul, KK6H, active from the shack of A35CT til
- June 4.
-
- P5RS7 Update. The ARRL received further documentation from the
- operation. When papers are translated from the original language
- (Korean) the investigation will begin.
-
- Send your bandpass and notes for next week's bulletin to Bob,
- WB2CJL @ W5KSI.#NOLA.LA.USA.NA or to WB2CJL @ I5FLN.ITA.EU.

-
- What is good for amateur radio depends on a particular viewpoint, and
- the ham radio community is hardly homogeneous. No-code techs would
- like their privileges expanded while some extras would like the same
- privileges shrinked. Technical types want more projects in QST while
- casual operators would prefer more reviews and general stories.
- Repeater owners would like their frequencies protected while
- others feel that no one owns any frequency. ARRL is there to find a
- consensus, or if this is impossible but a decision is needed, take a
- stand. There is a saying that you can't make everyone happy all the
- time, and surely you will find dissatisfied people in any
- organization. This is not to say that ARRL is perfect, but IMHO its
- general line is good for amteur radio.
