SUN ALERT!

email da Lasse SM0KAK

Salve amici,

C'è stato un flare solare eccezionale (classe X18) oggi today 20.10.2003 alle 11 UTC. Ed e' stato il maggiore flare solare diretto verso la terra di questo ciclo ad il secondo, per intensita', di questo ciclo.
Il flusso solare e' stato estremamente alto negli ultimi giorni. Era 257 questa mattina presto. Questo e' molto simile al picco del ciclo. Ieri era circa 245 (il rapportoo di uno SFI=298 di ieri era errato).
Ieri qui c'e' stata una apertura sui 50 MHz da VK4 con ES, OZ, ON, PA, G, EA. Questo era inatteso per questa fase del ciclo solare.

PREVISIONI PER LE PROSSIME ORE:

Mercoledi' mattina:
Piccole probabilita' di buone condizioni DX intercontinentali F2 sui 50MHz.
Probabilita' di aurora.

Mercoledi' all'ora di pranzo:
Impatto della CME e inizio dell'aurora (usualmente ci vuole un po' di tempo alla CME per arrivare, ma questo tipo ha una velocita' piu' elevata del solito)

Giovedi':
Fine dell'aurora stops (o in fase di declino)

Veberdi' and/or Saturday:
Ottime probabilita' di buoni DX intercontinentalI via F2 sui 50MHz.
E' possibile che noi avremo una aurora eccezionale (Molto ben visibile qui a Stoccolma ma forse visibile anche fino al Nord dell'Africa).

Hi friends,

There was an extreme solar flare (class X18) today 2003-10-28 at 11 UTC. It was the biggest earth-directed solar flare of this solar cycle, and the 2nd biggest altogether of this cycle.
The solar flux has been extremely high the last few days. It was 257 earlier today. This is similar to the peak of this solar cycle. Yesterday it was ABT 245 (the reports of SFI=298 yesterday were incorrect).
Yesterday there was an opening on 50MHz from VK4 to ES, OZ, ON, PA, G, EA. This was unexpected for this phase of the solar cycle.

ESTIMATED TIMETABLE:

Wednesday morning:
Small chance of great intercontinental F2 DX on 50MHz.
Also chance of aurora.

Wednesday around lunchtime:
Impact of CME and aurora starts (It usually takes longer for a CME to arrive, but his one moves fast)

Thursday:
Aurora stops (or declines)

Friday and/or Saturday:
Good chance of good intercontinental F2 DX on 50MHz

It is likely that we get some extreme aurora (Strong visible overhead in Stockholm and perhaps visible all the way down to Northern Africa).

C6A/W6JKV - DXCC TROBLE

email from Jimmy W6JKV,

Prego gentilmente diffondere quanto segue.

Alcuni OM, che hanno sottomesso le qsl della spedizione c6a/w6jkv per il loro accredito se le sono viste rigettate. Segnalo che il problema e' stato risolto e che ora e' tutto a posto. Non e' necessario reinviarle al dxcc desk ma bastera' inviare una email con riferimento alla nota di rifiuto per ottenere automaticamente l'accredito del country.

Apprezzero' molto il vostro aiuto nel diffondere la notizia.

TJ - CAMEROON by IK0XGF - BAD NEWS

Ho ricevuto questa email da Alfredo, IK7XGF:

Caro Sergio, scusa se non ti ho dato prima nuove. Agli iniziali problemi per il l'autorizzazione si sono aggiunti altri di natura familiare che mi hanno costretto ad un rapido rientro a casa, e la radio è passata in secondo piano. Mi spiace per te e tutti gli amici. Ho lasciato antenna, palo e cavi a Limbè. Scusa di tutto il disagio, saluti Alfredo

Saluti, Sergio, IK0FTA

I recived this email from Alfredo IK7XGF:

Dear Sergio, I am sorry for not coming back to you before. After the initial struggle for the license, other problems of family nature added on top and forced a quick return home, with the ham activity relegated on a second priority. I feel sorry for you and for all the other friends. I have left antenna, mast and cable in Limbè (TJ). Sorry for the distress, greetings Alfredo.

Best Regards, Sergio, IK0FTA

TJ - CAMEROON by IK0XGF - 1ST UPDATE

Ho appena ricevuto una telefonata da Alfredo IK7XGF, che si trova gia' in Cameroun. Mi ha detto di avere alcuni ritardi per l'ottenimenti dell'autorizzazione e che apena pronto ad operare mi richiamera' per informarmi.

Alfredo e' socio di SixItalia ed e' molto interessato ai 6 metri. Si spera, quindi, che appena risolte tutte le formalita' esso dedichi una parte significante della sua attivita' radio alla magic band.

Saluti, Sergio, IK0FTA

 

I have just received a telephone call from Alfredo IK7XGF, who has already arrived in Cameroun. He reported to be currently dealing with some burocratic issues, and he will call again as soon as ready to operate.

Alfredo is a member of SixItalia, and very committed to 6 meters. So, once all formalities will have been cleared, we can expect him to dedicate a significant part of his operating time to the magic band.

Best Regards, Sergio, IK0FTA
