While she settles the new module that will have sign of having called RS0ISS, it will develop a ROM with predetermined values of ISS, with an extended memory of a megabyte. The TNC also has capacity to manage Russian cyrillic text, and an interruption of one minute if no package is listened. The mailbox will be activated, but I eat they don't have connected computer, neither they have time to answer the messages, these will fade. The Packet of ARISS will continue operating equally: the uplink in 145.99 MHZ and the downlink in 145.80 MHZ.

The annual of the DXCC of all the authorized operations is getting ready and it is considered that it stops May or June will be clever to send it to who requests it sending an envelope and 5 USD. To the members of ARRL they will be given without cost.

LOG DE YA5T. - Steve Informs KU9C that have already put on a day all contacts carried out by YA5T and the log it is available on-line and you can verify it in: http://www.ve9dx.com/ya5t/ya5t.html

SILENT KEY. - The QSL manager of many expeditions, DJ3WG, Alfons, died last week, and now DL2HBE will answer what was pending. (Thank you Helmut DL2HBE).

EXPEDITION SOUTH SANDWICH. - James 9V1YC inform that the expedition that you carried out Georgia and South Sandwich of the South achieved all its goals because 70,428 QSO's carried out in total. They were 80 hours to the air in VP8THU and 7 days 10 hours in VP8GEO. The operators were: EI5IQ, EI6FR, HB9ASZ, K0IR, K4UEE, K5TR, N5KO, PA3FQA, VE3EJ, W3WL, W7EW and 9V1YC. The Qsl for VP8THU via VE3XN and VP8GEO stops via VE3GCO. The Qsl is already printed and it is leaving. They don't have page web neither the on-line log.

SPECIAL EVENT. - For first occasion in the United Kingdom the special prefix GB50 has been granted to celebrate the Joy from the Queen when being commemorated 50 years in the throne. It will operate from May 29 to June 9. The operation will be in charge of the Cray it Fences I Radiate Society (CVRS), in the association with the Burnham Haya Radiates Society (BBRC), and with the support of the Society of the Radio of Great Britain (RSGB). Among 0700-2200z they will operate in the bands from 80 to 6 meters in CW, SSB, PSK31 and RTTY. There will also be a station in 144 MHZ in CW, SSB and FM. The Qsl via Owen, G4DFI. More information in: http://www.gb50.com

CHANGES FORMAT WWV. - KH6BZF Informs she informs that it is necessary to be very pending March 12 the 2002 in the frequencies of 2.5, 5.0, 10, 15 and 20MHZ so that they listen the details of the new format change in the WWV/WWVH.

QSL DE CV1F. - Who were able to work the station CV1F the previous weekend, from the Island San Gabriel (SA057) with the operators CX1SI, CX1CV, CX2AM, CX2FR, CX2RU/A, CX3AN, CX3BV, CX4AAJ, CX4CR, CX4AAE, CX4SS, CX6FK and CX8FB, the Qsl via direct should be requested EA5KB.

Virginia QSO Party, begins at the 1800Z of March 16 and it finishes at the 0200Z of March 18.

Tad Cook, K7VVV, in its weekly work on the propagation, says that the propagation last week was good for 160 meters, as well as in other bands of HF. The solar flow has continued ascending and it is expected that it continues this way next weeks, for up of 200 units. He had been considered that it lowered for the weekend of the competition ARRL DX (but it was not this way).

AE4TM has written on the double crest of the present solar cycle, and during the week you could experience that second crest with a propagation for "backscatter", and it continues every day being achieved contacts to 2700 miles for stations beyond the line of view 50-100 miles. This is due to that the densities of the highest electron take to the highest frequencies to be reflected vertically - F2 - allowing complex bends that allow strange contacts.

K9LA wrote and he says that the MUF monthly average during December of the 2001 was approximately of 2 MHz superior that in December of the 2000, according to the data of one ionosonde in Abilene, Texas. The flow solar average will be of 198.7 and the index K average 5.4.

On the other hand, Neil Clarke, G0CAS in its weekly study, highlights that the solar flow arrived to 223 units in last week. The solar wind, according to the data of the space ship ISS, increased of 340 kilometers per second at 500.
The day 24 were the best around the 14.4 MHZ, and when the darkness in 4.2 MHZ. The bands of HF continue under excellent conditions.
In 50 MHZ you propagation between America of the North and Europe, but with Australia it was reduced between the 0930 and the midday UTC, while Japan stops he opened up with Europe on Thursday in the morning, toward the Indian Ocean.
In their presage, he hopes it continues increasing the solar flow around 200 in the weekend. During the hours of the light of the day it will be around 40MHZ for Europe and when the darkness around 11MHZ. The roads to the Japan will have 50 percent of success from Europe around the 30MHZ but the maximum frequency with 90 percent of success it will be around 21MHZ among 0800 1100z.
