Sunday 2nd of July 2017

The news headlines:

• New places at YOTA 2017

• Hongkongers celebrate with VR20 prefix

• Youngsters to launch eclipse balloon

Two countries are no longer able to send representatives to the RSGB IARU Youth On The Air 2017 event. There are six places to fill, and all countries involved are being invited to nominate additional team members. If you’re a young radio amateur in the UK aged 15-25, are free from 5-12 August 2017, and might like to attend this fun-filled week, contact yota@.uk to find out more.

Commemorating the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong’s reunification with China, Hong Kong licensed radio amateurs are being allowed to use the special prefix VR20 on a voluntary basis from the 1st of July 2017 to the 30th of June 2018.

The two daughters of Winston, KI7CSK, Rebecca and Kimberley, are planning to launch a new high-altitude Balloon mission with APRS tracking for the North American solar eclipse on the 21st of August. The sisters will be working alongside other citizen scientists in a campaign called the Eclipse Ballooning Project, which will be gathering high-altitude data during the total phase of August’s eclipse. Video and photos from the flights will be shared with NASA and the world. The full story can be found at

Hundreds of radio amateurs have attended RSGB Conventions and had a great time. If you've never been, take a look at our new video at convention and find out why some people come back year after year. The dates for the 2017 event are the 13th to 15th of October and it takes place at Kents Hill Conference Centre in Milton Keynes. Bookings are now open. For details go to convention

The RSGB’s latest vlog introduces the second member of the UK YOTA 2017 team – Jonathan Sawyer, 2E0UAR. He is 23 and belongs to the Reading and District Amateur Radio Club. You can view this and the previous vlog at yota-vlogs The event doesn’t only include those young people attending the event at Gilwell Park: many clubs around the UK are putting on evens for young amateurs in their area.

The consultation on VHF-UHF UK Activity Contest future scoring schemes is now available. Online voting on this consultation will be available between 29 July and 20 August. RSGB Members who are active VHF/UHF contesters are encouraged to read the consultation document at ukac-consult and vote.

The IARU HF Championship takes place on the 8th and 9th of July. As well as being a contest for individuals around the world there is a team element, with teams representing national societies. For the past few years the callsign used by the RSGB HQ team has been GR2HQ and it will be on the air again this year. GR2HQ stations will be spread across the country, at some of the best equipped contesters’ QTHs. Those people open up their shacks to other top contesters, each forming a sub team. Each GR2HQ station concentrates on one band and mode, for example 80m SSB, but some of the bigger stations will be active on more than one band and mode. They are all linked live via the internet, so if you want to know what frequency any of them is on you can ask any of the others. So why might you want to do this? To make as many band and mode QSOs as you can, to qualify for one of the free awards. There are several available. See for details.

The latest RSGB Convention 2016 lecture to be released on video is by RSGB President, Nick Henwood, G3RWF. Entitled ‘DX fun without spending loads of money’, he talks about some of his solo overseas trips as an economy class DXer. It is in the RSGB video portal and is only available to RSGB Members. Go to video to find out more.

On Monday the 80m Club Championships will run from 1900 to 2030UTC. Using CW only the exchange is signal report and serial number.

On Tuesday the 144MHZ FM Activity Contest runs from 1800 to 1900UTC. It is followed immediately from 1900 to 2130UTC by the 144MHz UK Activity Contest, when all modes are available. The exchange for both is signal report, serial number and locator.

Next weekend is the IARU HF Championships running from 1200 to 1200UTC. It’s SSB only on the 1.8 to 28MHz bands. The exchange is signal report and ITU zone, which for the UK is 27.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Friday the 30th of June.

This week NASA confirmed that we are heading for solar minimum, with the low point expected in 2019-2020. It also said that this may bring more long-lived coronal hole activity. This should come as no surprise to radio amateurs as we have been reporting near-minimum solar flux index levels and the ongoing effects of coronal holes for many months. Last week, the solar flux index hovered around the low 70s, but geomagnetic conditions were relatively settled with a K index in the range zero to two.

Nevertheless, as we are in the summer HF doldrums, F2 layer maximum usable frequencies for amateurs often struggled to get above 18MHz during daytime.

A quick listen on the 14.100MHz International Beacon Network frequency on Thursday afternoon showed RR90 coming in from Russia and OH2B from Finland, and that was about it. OH2B was also audible on 18.110MHz. However, some better-equipped stations reported they had worked the B7CRA IOTA DXpedition in China on 20m, so there is always DX to be had if you know where to look.

Next week, NOAA predicts the solar flux index will remain in the mid 70s and geomagnetic conditions should be settled. A view of the Sun in extreme ultraviolet showed no earth-facing coronal holes, so make the most of the quieter conditions and continuing Sporadic E openings.

It might also be an opportunity to head for the hills and try some portable HF DXing, with the added benefit of lower noise levels.

And now the VHF and up propagation news.

The coming week starts with low pressure nearby over Scandinavia and another low moving towards northwestern Britain. In the south of the country a weak high may give some Tropo conditions at the end of the weekend and for part of next week, although there is a chance it will collapse before mid-week. The principal Tropo directions are to the south into France and northern Spain.

We had some good rain scatter on 10GHz last week with paths open across southern England and over to Northern France, but sadly little UK activity to take advantage of it. The tendency for low pressure in the north, and perhaps later in the south, will mean that more rain scatter should be possible in any summer thundery showers.

The Sporadic-E season still offers opportunities for the bands from 28 to 144MHz to suddenly spring into action. Prime times to check are late morning and again late afternoon and early evening. A 144MHz opening is likely to be a rare event, but 28, 50, and 70MHz openings are commonplace at this time of the year.

An encouraging number of UK stations turned out for the UK Microwave Group’s 10GHz contest and a few took part in the Dubus moonbounce contest on the band. There are a growing number of UK stations active on moonbounce above 1GHz, where there is good activity and plenty of DX to work.

The upcoming week has negative Moon declination and high losses due to its apogee, or furthest point from Earth, on Thursday, so activity will be lower, making it a good week to further optimise those EME systems using solar noise.

And that’s all from the propagation team this week.
