There were no significant events observed. The sun remained spotless. Today's 10.7 cm solar flux measurement of 67.6 sfu is the lowest since June 1986. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be very low. The geomagnetic field has been at mostly active levels for the past 24 hours. High latitude stations reported major to severe storm levels between 01/0600 UT and 01/1200 UT. Activity is most likely due to a well positioned coronal hole. Energetic electron flux (GT 2 MeV) ranged from normal to very high levels over the past 24 hours. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled to minor storm for the first two days of the forecast period, then at mostly active levels. High latitude stations should expect periods of major to severe storming during local nighttime. Event probabilities 02 jun-04 jun Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green Geomagnetic activity probabilities 02 jun-04 jun A. Middle Latitudes Active 20/20/20 Minor Storm 30/30/25 Major-Severe Storm 25/25/20 B. High Latitudes Active 15/15/20 Minor Storm 30/30/25 Major-Severe Storm 30/30/25 HF propagation conditions continued below-normal over most regions today. Again, transpolar and transauroral paths experienced the heaviest degradation in the form of fading, multipathing, and absorption. Conditions are not expected to change significantly over the next 72 hours, through 04 June inclusive. However, middle latitude paths may begin to see weak improvements on 04 June.

The FCC is currently running 10-12 weeks delay from when the 610 gets to Gettysburg. Considering the 610 may take 1 to 2 weeks to process at your VEC, you can easily see delays of 3 months. 2 months is not enough time - DON'T CALL GETTYSBURG. You'll only add to the confusion. If you call the VEC under which you took your exam, they can confirm that the FCC is running behind recently. Regarding the first point. Part of the FCC computer system upgrade was rumored to include provisions for maintaining information on technicians with code, and technicians without code. As it currently stands, the FCC knows not which techs have code and which do not, aside from those who obtained their license before the no-code tech license went into effect. Under the new system, they will be able to keep track, and the printed licenses will say whether or not a particular tech license is with or without code. I believe the FCC will be soliciting records from the VEC's from which to get the with-code or without-code information. Maybe somebody from the League can provide more info? --- Jeff -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Jeff DePolo WN3A Twisted Pair: (215) 337-7383H 387-3059W depolo@eniac.seas.upenn.edu RF: 443.800+ MHz 442.400+ MHz 24.150 GHz ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Jun 1994 14:09:01 GMT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!dog.ee.lbl.gov!agate!darkstar.UCSC.EDU!news.hal.COM!olivea!charnel.ecst.csuchico.edu!psgrain!reuter.cse.ogi.edu!hp-cv!hp-pcd!hpcvsnz!tomb@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Ham license plates in WA To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Greg Hader (ghader@chinook.halcyon.com) wrote: : About $10 for the plates plus whatever "agency fee" ($2-3). : The form is available from the state department of licencing in : Olympia, but more and more of the licence agencies are keeping It's trivial to avoid the private licensing agency fee by just sending the form directly to the address on the form. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Jun 1994 13:43:04 GMT From: netwrk!ss3!pegood@uunet.uu.net Subject: Legal Protections for Hams To: info-hams@ucsd.edu Jason Hanson (jhanson@yar.cs.wisc.edu) wrote: : I am a candidate for the Wisconsin legislature this fall and (as an Extra who : cares about ham radio concerns) would like to prepare a sheet for my district's : ham population.

A and B are two clauses of the same sentence. Rather interesting that the phrase 'closed repeater' and 'accomodate everyone' can be used together, I think. But typical of the convoluted logic which those who are reaching to justify their monopolization of a frequency on a a crowded band. However, 'B' is interesting. It is precisely the argument made by those of us who advocate the right of open repeaters to displace closed machines, when a band runs out of pairs. That is, a competing organization (for frequency, not coordinator status) springs up, which will accomodate everyone.
