NOTE: The Effective Sunspot Number for 03 JAN 94 was 67.0.
The Full Kp Indices for 03 JAN 94 are: 3- 1- 3o 3+ 3+ 3- 3- 1+
SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was low. Most of the small flares seen
during the period came from Region 7648 (N06E56). Region 7645
(N13W09) had the largest event, a C2/SF at 0310Z. This spot
group continued its slow decay and simplification. The
remaining three spotted regions were unimpressive.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
low. An isolated M-class flare may occur should Region 7645
redevelop.
The geomagnetic field has been mostly quiet.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be quiet to unsettled.
Event probabilities 05 jan-07 jan
Class M 25/25/25
Class X 05/05/05

PCAF Green
Geomagnetic activity probabilities 05 jan-07 jan

Major-Severe Storm 01/01/01
B. High Latitudes

Major-Severe Storm 01/01/01
HF propagation conditions were normal over all regions.
Australian communicators have noted additional openings on VHF
FM bands near 90 to 100 MHz covering fairly large distances.
The suspected source of these openings is sporadic-E. No
changes in propagation are expected over the next 3 days,
through at least 07 January inclusive. Normal propagation
should persist.

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.

I am looking for a TERMINAL (not a logging) program that can handle
two TNCs at once (one through each of two COM ports).
Preferable FTP-able, but I can send you a disk if you have it.

Subject: Phonecalls from 20,000 feet?!...
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I am going to Alaska again this year, and would like to investigate
whether it is possible to make phone calls from way up high by radio
(check on the kids, etc.). Is this possible to do via a portable
radio? If so, can you give any pointers on how to get started...I
have until May 27 to get this going.
Thanks,

Subject: Repeater database?
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
Some years ago, one of our repeaters stopped working. When we got up on
the the mountain, we found out why:
Someone had torched the door off the building, stolen all the Motorola
and GE repeaters out of the building (demonstrating good taste, they
left the RCA repeaters alone). On their way out, just for good
measure, they cut the guy wires on the tower. When the storm hit a few
days later, 70 feet of H-frame tower blew over the side of the mountain
to the desert floor below, taking our antennas and a good portion of
our coax with it. The solar panels were smashed beyond repair.
Want to know where our repeaters are now? NOYGDB!

All commercial ham gear must be FCC type approved (that's a rule that was
changed from when I started in ham radio).
If you look on any of your modern commercial gear you should see an FCC ID
number on the tag with the serial number.
The only non-type approved equipment that can be used is homebrew, and then
only if you make one of a kind per year and hf+ (<144 MHz) external RF power
amplifiers, again only one of a kind per year.

Subject: WANTED:Synchronous Detector Schematic
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I've looked all over and only found an old Signetics application book
which used a phased locked loop chip that is no longer manufactured. I
have been told that Motorola makes a quad. detector that can be used as
a synchronous detector, but I have not been able to find an application
note to that effect. Please help me if you know where I can get a
schematic.

Subject: What Kind of Antenna Is This?
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
A mobile antenna I've seen in various cities, almost exclusively on
municipal vehicles, looks sort of like a folded sheet of cardboard
lying upright on the long side. In other words, it's about four inches
high, ten inches long and maybe an inch thick.
Does anyone know what this might be? With its low profile, it might
make an interesting ham antenna.

It's: contraction of "it is."
Its: possessive form of "it."

...and there's an article inside devoted to them. Must be a follow
on to the ham radio and train-spotting article that appeared not
too long ago.
This solid technical content was selected by the same editorial staff
(at the member's expense) which no doubt smugly belittles W2NSD's monthly
ramblings in '73.'
We can't cover Lambda, but choo-choos and stamps are relevant, eh guys?
