- It is true that Renewals don't suffer the self-discharge of
- NiCds, and thus, having a set as a backup may not be a bad idea.
- Incidentally, NiMH cells have a real bad self-discharge for those
- of you eyeing those type of cells.

-
- Well, the last time I talked with the engineers at Ray-O-Vac,
- the internal impedance was around 330 milliohms, or 2 ohms total
- for a six pack. So, on a 1A load, you lose 2 volts in the cells,
- which would bring the terminal voltage down to about what NiCds
- will be.
-
- I think the issue is whether the cells will be able to supply the
- current necessary when you need it. I usually run low power, but
- sometimes I need the high output. Otherwise, why would the HT
- manufacturers bother putting in a high-power amplifier?
-
- However, even at 1A, you get about as much voltage as a Ni-Cd,
- so the hit isn't that severe.

-
- Yeah, this is the big bummer. Ni-Cds can be quick charged with little
- effect on cycle life if done properly. If people would use the same
- care in charging Ni-Cds as Ray-O-Vac does with their Renewals, NiCds
- would last 500 cycles with no problem. Most quick chargers end up
- frying the cells, which will mean an early grave.
-
- Well, OK. My initial statement may have been a bit strong. Perhaps
- in cases where most of the work is standby with low power transmit,
- then Renewals would be OK. However, at $1.25 to $1.50 per cell for
- 25 cycles, I find them much more expensive than NiCds. One place
- where Renewals would be really nice is in D-cell flashlights. You
- get the full 1.5V plus, its hard to find reasonable priced REAL
- D-NiCds (not the mostly air sub-C ones). (Rat Shack doesn't count
- as reasonably priced :-) Haven't done this yet.
-
- I guess the last advantage of Renewals is that they don't contain
- cadmium, so it's "green" for what its worth.

- Solar flux was up about 15 points last week, but still stayed below
- 90. Disturbed conditions peaked on the 12th, when the K index
- reached 5 for a single three hour period, and the A index for the
- day was 22. Since then conditions have been improving, with the
- solar flux slowly rising and the geomagnetic field becoming more
- stable.
-
- An event on June 12 was supposed to cause a disturbance before the
- end of the week, but nothing happened. Look for the A index to stay
- low until a recurring coronal hole reappears around June 26. Solar
- flux should peak near 90 over the next few days, and then drop back
- to around 70 from June 25 though July 4.
-
- Sunspot Numbers from June 9 through 15 were 62, 70, 80, 89, 73, 88
- and 96, with a mean of 78.3. 10.7 cm flux was 83, 85.4, 86.4, 86.3,
- 85, 85.3 and 88.2, with a mean of 85.7.
-
- The path projection for this week is from Omaha, Nebraska to Angola.
-
- Check 80 meters from 0130 to 0500z, and 40 meters from 0100 to 0600.
- 30 meters looks good from 0000 to 0330 and again from 0530 to 0645.
- 20 meters should be open from 2200 to 0200, and again from 0600 to
- 0730. 17 meters should be open on most days from 1830 to 0000. 10,
- 12 and 15 meters do not look good over this path at this time.
