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

             Solar activity was low. Two uncorrelated C-class x-ray
       bursts were detected. The largest was a C4 at 05/1033UT. Region
       7629 (S22E30) continues to grow and shows signs of becoming
       magnetically complex.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be
       very low to low. Region 7629 has the best chance of C-class
       activity and an outside chance of producing an isolated M flare.

            The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled
       levels for the past 24 hours. High latitude stations saw a
       period of unsettled to minor storm levels between 05/1200 and
       05/1500UT.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be quiet to unsettled for the entire period.

                        Major-Severe Storm    01/01/05

            HF propagation conditions were normal over all regions,
       although sporadic high-latitude night-sector signal
       instabilities have persisted at slightly above normal levels.
       Conditions are expected to remain normal over all regions.
       There is a slightly increasing probability for SWFs over
       daylit paths during the next 72 hours due to possible minor
       solar flares.

     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

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

             Solar activity was low. Region 7629 (S22E16) has grown
       substantially during the period. Reports of a delta
       configuration in the intermediate spots show a correspondence
       between that site and the location of two sizeable C-class
       flares which occurred recently. The events were a C9/1N at
       1721Z and a C7/SF at 2049Z. The other two spotted regions were
       quiet.

            Solar activity forecast:  solar activity is expected to be
       low to moderate. Region 7629 may yield an M-class event during
       the interval.

            The geomagnetic field has been mostly quiet.

            Geophysical activity forecast:  the geomagnetic field is
       expected to be quiet to unsettled throughout the period.

       UTC in conjunction with the C9.7 flare, although no reports
       have been received at the present time to confirm this.
       Conditions will continue near-normal over all regions through
       at least 09 December inclusive.

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.

Hi, I wonder if anybody can help me. 

I am an Electronics student, and I have to do a Technical report on 
currecnt microp's and/or DSPs. Does anybody have any information in ASCII 
form they could send me abt either?? It would be a great help. Or could 
do you know where I could get some infomation from? I am sure that there 
most be somewhere on the Internet that would help?

Thanks or you help.

Pete, this is the way it starts.

First it's computers.  Then you move to amateur radio.  Next you'll be
wanting to get involved in basement-mounted fusion reactors and home-built
spacecraft.

Take my advice--get out now--before it's too late.  Technical junkie-ism is
a terrible dehibilitating disease that ruins marriages and undermines the
sanctity of the American family.

Take it from one who still has the rusted mounting bolts for the
liquid-cooled CO2 laser sunken into his driveway--forget radio.  Try
professional golf.  It's easier to master and you make more money.

Myron never *has* to explain intent. Not ever. It might demonstrate wisdom
and maturity to consider the impression concerning his attitudes and      
sensitivities which material which he chooses to post makes on other
people. It might also demonstrate wisdom and maturity to consider how
Asians, and particularly Japanese, people feel when they view the sort
of racial/cultural stereotype which "Scratchi" represents. But he doesn't
have to explain himself if he chooses not to.

I would point out that only someone with sufficient faith in Myron's
basic motivations being positive would bother to ask him for an explanation
of his purpose in posting the material.


>                                        until true offense, not pc offense,

Ah. So if post an article entirely in jive, and no black person reads it,
that's an okay thing for a white man to do? And of course it won't matter
if it's liberally laced with the word 'nigger?'

Please explain to me how it is frivolous (which is what I believe you mean
by 'pc') to express concern that someone's statements can be construed
as racist. Please explain to me how it is frivolous to want this newsgroup
to be a place where amateurs of many cultures can come and not have to
be confronted with racism, bigotry, and stereotyping of their culture.

How is that inconsistent with the idea of amateur radio being a world-wide
fraternity?

Are you saying, then, that the ideal of accepting people on an equal footing
and treating them with enough consideration so as not to make fun of them
is simply a 'politically correct' notion, and has no merit as an idea, in
and of itself?

Will you characterize Japanese people as funny little unassuming folk and
support making fun of the way in which some of them speak, while accepting
their QSL cards for a 'Worked all JA Award?'


Did it ever occur to you that some reader might be too mortified and 
horrified to object to the use of this kind of slur?

>               By your intent we should disallow reproductions of bible
>text because they slur certain pc categories. 

Do not presume to tell me my intent. I stated my intent. Your inability
to comprehend it is your problem. I have said, very simply, that posting
old "Scratchi" columns without some sense of purpose and intent is really
not a very appropriate action, in my opinion. On the other hand, "Scratchi,"
for all its racist and sterotypical nature, was one of CQ's major OP-ED
methods, in its day. So the underlying ideas may, indeed, shed some light
on a discussion at hand. In using such material, it is customary to 
acknowledge that the material has some real problems.

In any case, I see why there are still bigots in the world. A 1960 issue of CQ
magazine ain't the Bible, not by a long shot. It is not analagous. Number
one. Number two, your 'pc categories' are real people, with real feelings.
And deserving of real respect for their race, culture, and heritage. 

Apparently you can't wrap your insensitive little racist mind around the
ideas. Instead of confronting them directly, as I have done with the
ideas expressed by the "Scratchi" columns, you dismiss them as 'politically
correct.' As if attacking the motivations of the person who raises the
notion that "Scratchi" represents a genre of material which has to be
handled with some discretion will somehow make these ideas go away.

Dennis, if you put yourself in the position of defending racism, in
either word or deed, you align yourself with one of the great evils
in the world today.

Think about it.
