Region 7765 (S11W65) stabilized and produced an M1/1F flare at 18/0258Z. It is the probable site of another M1 flare at 18/1501Z. Region 7768 (S13E28) and Region 7767 (S12E20) grew steadily during the period. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be low. Region 7765 still has M-class flare potential but seems to be in a slow decline. The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels for the past 24 hours. Greater than 2 MeV electron fluxes at geosynchronous orbit were high. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled due to the intermittent M-class flares.

High Latitudes Active 20/20/20 Minor Storm 10/10/10 Major-Severe Storm 05/05/05 HF propagation conditions were near-normal over all regions. Brief SWFs could have been observed. The first SWF near 03:05 UTC could have affected regions of eastern and central Asia including Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. The second SWF at 15:11 UTC could have affected almost all of North and South America, Africa, and Europe. Reported SWFs were relatively brief and minor. Effects would have been strongest on transatlantic paths. Near-normal propagation is expected to continue over the next 3 days, through 21 August inclusive. There remains a decreasing risk for additional minor SWFs before Region 7765 rotates behind the west solar limb on 21/22 August.

A M1/SF flare erupted from Region 7765 (S09W67) at 19/0258UT, which is approaching the limb. Region 7767 (S12E06) has shown rapid growth and is as bright as Region 7765. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be mostly at low levels. Region 7767 has potential for producing an M class flare. The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for the past 24 hours. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be at quiet levels.

Those analog phones have become >almost disposable, with less worry about losing or breaking them. Not >so, with the digital ones. Actually, the digital phones are *cheaper* to produce than good analog phones. The prices are high now only because they haven't ramped up production. The final standard hasn't been chosen and cell sites haven't been converted. When they start cranking them out in the quantities that they are making analog phones, prices will plummet. And, as now but even more so, the service providers will subsidize the cost of the phones to encourage customers to switch over. Note too that the providers are primarily interested in the heavy business users of cellular phones. That's where the money is, with high monthly usage. If they cut off some customers who don't use the service much by shutting down the analog nets, they won't cry about that. There's no universal service mandate for cellular. >But if, and when, digital services become the standard, will that make >our scanners next to worthless, with nothing left to scan? It's illegal to scan cellular *now*, you're supposed to use your scanner to scan transmissions that are legal to intercept such as unscrambled public safety and amateur. >What >does a digital transmission sound like on a scanner?

No. Intercepting cellular calls is illegal now, there won't be scanners legally sold to decode digital cellular in the future unless the ECPA is repealed (very unlikely). >If that becomes the case, there >would have to be some digital transmission standard, or else it wouldn't >work.

It's possible. The methods proposed are intended to facilitate transmission, not primarily as an encryption method. However, it won't necessarily be simple. There are two methods competing for digital cellular. One is based on TDMA, and the other is spread spectrum. Since with SS each phone will have it's own spreading sequence keyed to it's serial number, you'd have to try millions of combinations to luck onto the correct one for a given phone. If TDMA is chosen, you'll have to break the supervisory circuit to track the time slice as the phone hops from cell to cell. And all of this would be very illegal of course.
