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

             Solar activity was very low. Current disk regions were
       mostly stable or in slow decline.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity should be very
       low to low for the next three days. Region 7730 (S11E37)
       could produce an isolated C-class flare.

            The geomagnetic field was quite variable during the
       period. From 10/2100-11/0900Z, the field was quiet to
       unsettled. From 0900-1200Z, mid latitudes experienced active to
       minor storm conditions and some high latitude sites reached
       severe storm levels. The remainder of the period was at
       unsettled to active levels. Greater than 2 MeV fluxes were at
       mostly moderate to high levels.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field
       should be disturbed for the next three days due to a coronal
       hole related high speed solar wind stream. Mostly active to
       minor storm conditions are expected during local nighttimes.
       Unsettled to active levels should be experienced during
       daylight hours. Some high latitudes sites may experience
       intervals of severe storming.

                        Major-Severe Storm    15/15/15

            HF propagation conditions were near-normal to slightly
       below-normal.  High and polar latitude paths saw minor episodes
       of signal degradation during the local night hours.  Similar
       conditions are expected over the next 72 hours.  Signal fading
       and occassional absorption may increase on 11 June before
       conditions start improving again on 12 and 13 June.

     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

This is frightening. Five years ago my my Ship Radio License for my sailboat
was free. A recent renewal notice says I owe the FCC $35. And next year
those renewing will pay over $100.

A new VHF marine radio, with all channels, can be bought for as little as
$135 (through West Marine Supply). The license is worth almost as much as
the radio.

The price of cliquish exclusivity? We got some Com-spec tone encoders for
$26 a piece.  They can be programmed for 42hz to 125hz, all non standard
tones.
   The repeater itself will be open with a standard 103.5 pl, but all
control, autopatch & crossbanding will only be accessable thru a non
standard pl below 67.0.   If they can hack it then maybe they're worthy
of permission to use.  There are so many plug 'n play hams out there that
i think as badly as they would want to get it, I dont think they'd trust
themselves opening their $600 radio to install something they know
nothing about.  Besides, were calling it "DPL" anyways.  Hopefully
they're as dumb as we think.
   And what about 900Mhz?  However, that would be pricy.  But the
rif-raff up there would be history..  No more resetting.

Dear YLs, XYLs, OMs es SWLs,

I'm proude to announce a new ftp-server only for ham-radio stuff and
software. This new server runs on a machine from the Clubstation of
the Technical University of Berlin, DK0TU (AFUTUB). It may be reached
via ftp by 'afutub.extern.tu-berlin.de' [130.149.130.138]. For users
not having access to direct InterNet, a mailserver is also available
on afutub. Send e-mail to '[e-mail]' and
**** Please enter a blank line to continue, anything else to halt output
 a mail-body of

END

to get the Net, a mailserver is also available
on afutub. Send e-mail to '[e-mail]' and
a mail-body of

BEGIN
send help
END

to get the general helpfile from the server. You may feel free to
put new ham-radio softwre or files to /incoming via direct ftp access.

For further information or in case of problems, ideas, critics etc

Can someone in Florida confirm that some  of your public safety agencies
use Q-signals? I was watching a documentary on TV and overheard some
radio traffic, possibly police or highway patrol, and heard `QSL' several
times. Weird.

I have no problems using the speaker out jack and using a "line level to
recorder level" attenuator to record with my boom box.

To avoid the problems of switching between speaker and recorder, I have
put the two together so I can record and listen on my speaker at the
same time (or record and turn off my speaker with a switch)

Jim's statement above should bring to an end the `440 in SoCal'
thread. Those are incredibly huge chunks of spectrum that need to be
put to use. When you consider the amount of unused spectrum we have
it really makes the 440 debate moot.

Can't readily *buy* a radio to play with up on those UHF freqs? Put your
amateur skills  to use and *build* something for up there. [Roger: I'll
