NEWS DX

THE QSL DE TN3B/TN3W. Josep/EA3BT and Nuria/EA3WL will receive in these days the cards QSL of their expedition and they are already prepared to begin the shippings in the month of July. They will also offer in their page web the opportunity that they inform when the QSL already received. It is also informed that those that are sending prints of Spain with value in pesetas, will be sent the Qsl for via Bureau, since only it is valid with value of Eurus. http://www.ea3bt.com

SOMETHING OF PRATAS. - "San" K5YY narrates us here something of what lived in the recent expedition to the Island Pratas, as BQ9P that finished some days ago: The multiple accidents caused that we worked less. We made 21000 QSOs, what represents to be superior to the operation carried out in March, in spite of the fact that we didn't have propagation in 28 and very little in 24 and a lot of QRN in 30/40 meters. I didn't operate 80 or 160 at all. This way with less operators we made much better than most she waited. The QRN was the worst I have heard, like in 160meters, but you could only operate 3 or 4 hours in 30 meters. The fall of the static was constant. They were needed approximately 2 minutes to complete a Qso. We concentrate on the bandages WARC and CW and SSB. We also work approximately 750 RTTY QSOs and 200 in 6 meters with Asia, JA,DS and BY. Any opening in 6 to NA or INC. The temperature was 100 grades F with the humidity 80% most of the days, and it only rains seawater. And while the other ones made telephone calls to their family, I attempted a Qso with USA among 1100-1400z. This is my DXpedición 12 and I still have a good time a lot and I hope to follow it making next year or two more.
73 of San K5YY, from Arkansas.
(for those that don't know it, San it is CQ DX Hall of Fame in 1983, it achieved the first FH and D2 in 1976 and it was in the summit of the list of the Honnor Roll with 370 countries).

SURPRISING. - In Internet one of everything is. However, many radioaficionados didn't believe that there are places in those that offer a digital copy of the Handbook free or of the Callbook. However, to be able to him to descend they require more than 15 hours and not anyone could have busy so many hours their phone line. But now it is that they are offering the "Antenna Handbook 2001" in chapters, in http://www.geocities.com/titoradio/indexesp.html but it is noticed that it is a pirated file. (HJ3ORT José Luis).

I RESUSCITATE! - The AMSAT-OSCAR-7 he has returned suddenly to the life after being inactive for more than 20 years. The first one that was able to listen to it was Pat Gowan, G3IOR, but other I radiate operators they have already proven also it.
The AO-7 was thrown November 15 1974 and it was operating for more than 6 years before dying its battery in 1981. However, some operators consider that it has only revived for a short time, and for that reason AMSAT-NA has listed the AO-7 like "semi-operational", noticing that it is working thanks to the solar panels, for what can only act when she receives the light of the sun
AMSAT says that it seems certain that the satellite is only escaping its
the solar boards, not of the batteries of the onboard, so that it will be
operational only while it is in the light of the sun. The king speculates that the one
batteries that put in short circuit when they failed two decades ago, now it is
'' a-putting in short circuit '' and causing the satellite to return to the life.
To use it in way "TO" (2 meters up/10 meters down) there is not problem, but in Way "B" (70 centimeters up/2 meters down) yes there is problem because the frequency that uses is no longer authorized at the moment for the space communications.
Their use is not allowed to 432.1 MHZ, because the FCC only authorizes the segment 435-438MHZ.
Built by a multinational team under the direction of AMSAT-NA, AO-7,
it takes the Way "A" (145.850-950 uplink of MHz; 29.400-500 downlink of MHz) and The way B (432.180-120 uplink of MHz; 145.920-980 downlink of MHz) lineal
the more transponders the beacons in 29.500 and 145.700 MHz. A 2304.1 MHz
the beacon never lit due to the international treaty. More data in: http://www.amsat.org.

MANAGER BY YE8V. - The cards QSL of YE8V has gotten lost because of the ethnic war that Ambon, but Kadek affects YC9BU she notices that that is not any problem, because when he returns to the Island of Aru, it will order to print of new bill the QSL, because he has the original of the same one besides that it has the log of the operation.

LIGHTHOUSES. - For those that interest them the diplomas and competitions of Islands and Lighthouses, we recommend them these places: For the Lighthouses and the prize of Islands for DX4WIN and others:
http://home.neo.rr.com/tsarah/www/w8tts.html
Worked all the Big Lakes and Lighthouses Lighthouse/Lightships (WAGLLL):
http://home.neo.rr.com/tsarah/www/WAGLLL_Award_Rules.html

PIRATE. - The bureau of Russia many QSL of A9/RK3WL, but Sergey has received ("Jack") RA3SL assures that that callsign doesn't exist and therefore it is a pirate.

EVENT DE YL. - During the last week it was active the special callsign IQ9YL to celebrate the "6th International YL Meeting" to strengthen the friendship among operators women of the radio along the world. The QSL via IT9BLB directly or via Bureau. More information in: http://www.qsl.net/yl2002

MURDERED OPERATOR. - The ARRL informed that Martin "Ray" Burnham, the American missionary pilot that was captive with its wife for more than one year in Philippines and that it was died in a rescue intent June 7, era operator of radio fan in Kansas, as KC0DNB and it was active from 1942.

COMPETITIONS

NEXT WEEK:

Venezuelan Ind. Day Contest, SSB -0000Z, Jul 6-2400Z, Jul 7.

PROPAGATION

Tad Cook, K7VVV, says in its weekly work on the propagation that
the solar flow and the sunspots were again low in 14 points. The solar flow reached a short minimum term with 131.4 and she gets up little by little, and in next week it possibly arrives at 170, but of Friday a Sunday is maybe from 150 to 155.
It is recommended to lower the new version 2.61 of the program W6ELprop that is free  http://www.qsl.net/w6elprop/) and to upgrade it with the figures of the solar flow and the index "K" and he/she will be able to make comparisons with the propagation that one had in 15 meters in 1998 and he will notice a radical, and improvable difference in 40 meters.
This is not great time for the band of 10 meters, but it would be worthwhile to be to the slope of the propagation for layer-and that will continue being presented in spring and autumn. For distances of less than 1000 miles, the best band will be 40 and 80 meters, after the evening.
Another very useful program to predict the propagation is that of KU5S, WinCAP 3. rehearsal version that is available in http://www.taborsoft.com/wwizard3.
The flow solar average was of 138.3 and the index K 10, and these they are the numbers that should be introduced to the two mentioned programs.

On the other hand, Neil Clarke, G0CAS points out us in its weekly work on the propagation that the average of the solar flow was of 178 last week. The activity geomagnética was mainly uncertain. The data of the solar wind that it provided the ship space ACE presented a decline of 520 kilometers per second at 320.
In HF the conditions were quite poor, especially in 24 and 28 mhz and the AND Sporadic in 28 and 50MHZ it was deceptive. However, in 50MHZ they registered openings between Europe and United States, and also in 28 MHZ.
In their predictions it considers that the solar flow will be around 180. There will be MUFs during hours of the light of the day in same latitudes approximately around 26MHZ for the south and of 23MHZ for the north.
In the week the roads to the This Half one with Europe should have an usable maximum frequency of 50 percent around 28MHZ, but the good frequency with 90 percent of success it can be around 19MHZ and you will prove among 0800 1800z. And as we come closer to the seasonal crest, they will be bigger the openings of AND Sporadic in 50MHZ to the Means This. In 28 MHZ they could be given daily, but it could be that during several days it is dead the band, like it is usually often. The openings in 14MHZ will be been able to give to the mediterranean area.
