Sunday the 8th of October 2017

The news headlines:

• Foundation and Intermediate exams going online

• Please keep emergency frequencies clear

• Two Train the Trainers courses announced

An online option for Full examinations was launched in March 2017. Clubs, exam centres and candidates have all given very positive feedback. A recent Exam Group meeting approved the roll-out of online Foundation and Intermediate exams. From the 1st of November, the RSGB HQ Exams Department will accept applications for online Intermediate exams and, from the 2nd of January 2018, you will be able to apply for an online Foundation exam. To bring consistency to the application process, a notice period of ten working days will apply to every exam from the 1st November, regardless of level or whether it is online or paper-based. All examinations, both online and paper, will still be held at Exam Centres and invigilated in exactly the same way as now. When applying for an exam you must state whether electronic, paper or a mix of examination type is required. Online exams reduce paperwork for invigilators and provide immediate feedback to the candidates. More online administrative tools are in the pipeline to assist Examination Secretaries. Applications for paper examinations will continue as before.

Tropical Storm Nate is now threatening to dump flooding rains over portions of Central America, according to the National Hurricane Center. An amateur radio emergency net has been activated in Costa Rica. Amateurs not involved in the storm emergency are asked to avoid interfering or operating near storm nets. The frequencies likely to be used are 3.752MHz, 7.24MHz and 14.302MHz. 40m is the main HF band for traffic. Other nets active in the region could be using 7.117MHz, 7.090MHz and 7.098MHz.

Train the Trainers is free to any RSGB Member teaching at Foundation, Intermediate or Advanced level. It is especially designed for anyone who does not already have a professional background in teaching. Courses must be pre-booked. Each has a maximum of 25 places, allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. One RSGB Train the Trainers event is planned for the 18th of November at Worksop Amateur Radio Club. Contact Steve Hambleton, by email to g0eaksteve@ to book your place. On the 9th of December there will be a training session at Thames Amateur Radio Group in Southend on Sea. Email nigel.m0ich@ to book a place. Courses run from 9am to 5pm, with a break for you to eat your own packed lunch. Tea and coffee are provided.

GB17YOTA returns this December for YOTA month. Applications are coming in from clubs across the country so apply soon if you want to be involved. Allocations will be made by the end of October. Email yota.month@.uk to find out more or to receive the application form.

The VHF Contest Committee has opened a consultation to help set the rules for the 2018 series of contests. Through its earlier consultation, it has already agreed to change the scoring system for the UK Activity Contests to the Nordic System, but this exercise asks some wider questions. If you are a VHF Contest participant, please find a few minutes to complete the survey. It is online at GB2RS-0810A and remains open until 2359UTC on the 29th of October. Your help will be much appreciated.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Friday the 6th of October.

Last week saw sunspot activity remain fairly stable, with the solar flux index hovering in the upper 80s. There were no solar flares and so no associated coronal mass ejections either. On the whole, geomagnetic conditions were a little more settled than they have been of late and other than a K index of four on Monday the dial sat mostly between one and three.

These more settled conditions, coupled with the expected seasonal uplift in ionospheric propagation, meant there was DX to be had. Maximum usable frequencies climbed to more than 24 MHz at times, although 21MHz was perhaps a little more reliable.

A quick look at the International Beacon Project frequency on 21.150MHz saw the South Africa, Israel and New York beacons audible at times. The Russian and Madeira beacons also made a good showing on both 14.100MHz and 18.110MHz. The five watt ED6YAJ beacon in Majorca on 28.235MHz was even audible for hours on Thursday, with few other signals on the band. Beacons are always useful tools to get a quick snapshot of HF conditions.

Critical frequencies over the UK have struggled to get much above 6.2MHz at times, which means 80 and 60 metres remain the main bands for near vertical incidence skywave or short skip contacts around the UK.

Next week, NOAA predicts the solar flux index will decline further into the low 70s as the current crop of sunspots rotate off the disk. Stormy geomagnetic conditions are predicted for Wednesday the 11th to Sunday the 15th of October, thanks to a recurrent coronal hole. If this comes to pass we would expect the best DX to occur in the first half of the week.

And now the VHF and up propagation news.

The next week or two looks very much like an autumn sequence of unsettled weather, with low pressure dominating the charts throughout this week and next. There may be brief periods when a ridge puts in an appearance in southern Britain, but this is likely to be transient and not a strong Tropo signature. Of course, such conditions become a test of all those summer antenna jobs, so this is a good time to check that all the ropes and guys are secure.

The strong jet stream at times over the coming week would have been useful for Sporadic-E in the summer season, but is of little value at this time of the year.

There are three minor meteor showers this week. The Draconids is today, the Southern Taurids on Tuesday and the delta-Aurigids on Wednesday. All of them have just single-digit zenithal hourly rates, so continue to look before dawn for the best random meteor scatter contacts on the lower VHF bands.

The moon reaches perigee on Monday and maximum declination on Thursday, so a good week for EME. Look out for OK1VVT, QRV from Morocco on 144MHz as CN2R, and OK1DFC in Ceuta operating from the QTH of EA9LZ, on 70, 23, 3 and 6cm. More details on the HB9Q logger and .

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