Sunday 10 August 2008
The news headlines
• New RSGB Awards Manager
• AMSAT Mars movie
• Hilberling production ceases
RSGB HF Awards Manager, John Dunnington, G3LZQ, has now also taken on
the management of the RSGB’s VHF awards that were previously handled by
Bill Salt, M0CBQ. Thanks are due to Bill for his work in this role. The
opportunity is being taken to bring the rules for VHF and HF RSGB awards
into line. In particular, all awards will be credited to individuals
rather than a callsign. This means, a claimant may submit cards from
more than one callsign that he or she has held or still holds (from the
same geographic entity).
Also, eQSLs will not be accepted for RSGB awards. A traditional QSL
confirmation is required, though discussions are in hand with ARRL with
a view to linking up with Logbook of the World in due course for
certain RSGB awards.
For lower-level awards, the General Certification Rule will apply,
allowing cards to be checked and certified locally. Check first with
G3LZQ as to whether this applies in a specific instance. The above does
not cover IOTA awards, which are handled separately as previously.
----------------
AMSAT reports that its Phase 5-A will be the first spacecraft built by
radio amateurs to go to Mars and now there's a movie about it. Called
With AMSAT P5-A to Mars, the 10 minute video was produced by AMSAT
Germany and covers almost every aspect of the AMSAT organisation since
its very beginning before taking viewers through the development cycle
of P5-A. It can be found on YouTube, just search the video section for
With AMSAT P5-A to Mars and choose the language you require.
------------------
Production of the Hilberling PT-8000 HF and VHF transceiver has been
stopped. A notice on the company's website says that the project was
abandoned due to ever changing requirements placed by the European
Union on the German designed transceiver.
------------------
The 435 to 145MHz linear transponder onboard the Delfi D Oh 64 satellite
has been activated. The transponder uplink is 435.570 to 435.530MHz and
the downlink is 145.880 to 145.920MHz. All frequencies are +/- Doppler
shift that can be up to 3kHz at 145MHz. The transponder is inverting,
which means Lower Sideband is translated to a Upper Sideband signal on
the downlink. Delfi D Oh 64 was built at the Delft University of
Technology in the Netherlands. Since it was launched in April it has
been collecting educational research data for use by the university
students with the assistance of radio amateurs around the world.
------------------
Jason Anderson, KI6GIV, at California Polytechnic State University is
requesting amateur radio operators worldwide to assist with capturing
the telemetry of the Cal Poly CP4 satellite. According to Anderson there
has been some unpredictable behaviour on the CP4 satellite. He says that
controllers only have contact with the satellite once every 12 hours so
it would be extremely helpful if they could get some global support in
collecting beacon transmissions. That way they would get a more complete
picture of the satellite's health.
CP4 downlinks on 437.325MHz using FSK lower sideband modulation. The
baud rate is 1200 with beaconing every minute. Audio or decoded binary
data along with other reports go by e-mail to jander06<at>calpoly.edu.
------------------
More than 380 lighthouses in more than 51 countries from Argentina to
Wales will be on the air for the 2008 International Lighthouse/Lightship
Weekend (ILLW) organised by the Ayr Amateur Radio Group. The event,
takes place Saturday, 16 August from 0001UTC until Sunday 17 August
2359UTC. While not a contest, the event is more of a QSO Party and
amateur radio demonstration. Participating lighthouse/lightship stations
do not have to be inside the structure or on the vessel itself; a Field
Day-type setup at or adjacent to the light is sufficient.

Now the contest news
The Worked All Europe Contest is still taking place today, 10 August,
until 2359UTC. It’s CW on 3.5 to 28MHz bands and the exchange is RST and
serial number. The aim is for Europeans work Non-Europeans.
There's the fun of the QTC exchange, which is the opportunity to send
and receive extracts of logs for extra points. Even if you're not
participating too deeply, why not say yes, when a station offers you a
QTC as they get extra points for sending it to you..
On 12 August, it’s the RSGB 432MHz UK Activity Contest which takes place
from 1900 to 2130. You can use all modes and the exchange is RS plus
serial number and locator.
The RSGB 80m Club Sprint is on 14 August from 1900 to 2030 using CW. The
exchange is both callsigns plus serial number and your name or nickname.
Over the weekend of 16 and 17 August there should be plenty of data
stations on the air for the SARTG WW RTTY Contest. All bands from 3.5 to
28MHz can be used and the exchange is RST and serial number.
The RSGB 70MHz trophy takes place on 17 August from 0900 to 1500UTC. If
you can be on the band just once a year, this is the contest that brings
out most stations from around the UK. The exchange is RS plus serial
number, locator and postal code.
-----------------------
Now the solar report for the period from the 28th of July to the 3rd of
August, compiled by Neil Clarke, G0CAS, and Martin Harrison, G3USF.
The solar disc was spotless everyday which led to another week where
solar activity was very low with no solar flares taking place at all.
Solar flux levels were 66 units everyday except for the 30th which
increased to 67. The average was 66. The 90 day solar flux average on
the 3rd was 67 units, that’s the same level as last week. X-ray flux
levels remained below the minimum reporting level everyday. Geomagnetic
activity was quiet everyday. The most disturbed day was the 28th with an
Ap of 7 units. Several days the Ap was only 3 units. The average was Ap
4 units. The ACE spacecraft saw solar wind speeds decline from 470
kilometres
per second on the 28th to 320 by the 3rd. Particle densities were low
everyday, ie, below 10 particles per cubic centimetre. Bz all week never
varied more than minus 5 and plus 7 nanoTeslas.
And finally the solar forecast. With still no sign of any increase in
solar activity, this week looks set to continue at very low levels. As
we have warned previously, when activity increases it will be rather
sudden.
Solar flux levels are expected to be in the mid to high 60’s.
Geomagnetic activity is expected to be mostly quiet, however today and
tomorrow could be slightly unsettled due to a small coronal hole. MUFs
during daylight hours at equal latitudes should be around 18MHz for the
south and 15MHz for the north. The darkness hour lows should be about
9MHz. Paths this week to the Middle East should have a maximum usable
frequency with a 50 per cent success rate of about 21MHz. The optimum
working frequency with a 90 per cent success rate will be around 15MHz.
The best time to try this path will be between 1600 and 1800 hours UTC,
even though the band will have been open since around 0900. Sporadic-E
is expected to take
place on some days. Any openings will now tend to be less intense now
that we are approaching the end of the summer season for another year.
And that’s all for this week from the propagation team.
