Sunday 4th February 2018

The news headlines:

• ARISS APRS packet not working

• Nominate for the Golden Antenna Award

• RSGBCC log upload practice site opened

An unidentified anomaly involving the radio serving the ARISS APRS Packet System on board the International Space Station has led to the system not functioning. A similar problem has occurred on other occasions and solutions that resolved the problem proved to be only temporary fixes. The system may return to service as it has in the past or it may have finally failed completely. ARISS sees the delivery of the interoperable radio system as the true solution to securing ARISS packet operation. Current target period for delivery and installation of the replacement system is autumn 2018. In the meantime, ARISS continues to investigate the problem and seek opportunities to resolve the issue. The ARISS team knows many amateur radio operators really enjoy using the ARISS APRS packet system, and thanks everyone for understanding the issues involved with not having it available.

For almost 50 years, the German town of Bad Bentheim has organised the Dutch-German Ham Convention. During this event the Golden Antenna is awarded for outstanding humanitarian performance, recognising the importance of the hobby during or after disasters. Nominations for this year’s Golden Antenna award should be submitted by 1 June, by email to juerriens@stadt-badbentheim.de and for more information on the Dutch-German Ham Convention see dnat.de

The RSGB Contest Support Committee has produced a facility to enable entrants to practice uploading logs for HF and VHF contests to the RSGB Contesting Committees website. This facility accepts logs formatted for the 80m Club Championship Contest and UK Activity Contest. The practice facility uses the same robot that is used for all RSGB HF and VHF contests and provides a very realistic experience, including giving feedback on any errors found in the ‘dummy’ log. This facility is accessed via the Information link on the RSGBCC website, where you can then scroll down and click on Log Test Facility. The HF Log Upload Test and VHF Log Upload Test links go to separate pages.

Have you seen the RSGB’s new web page about the National Radio Centre? It gives a brief overview of the centre, introduces some of the great volunteers who help to explain amateur radio to visitors at the Bletchley Park site and also links through to the full NRC website. The centre needs more volunteers so take a look and see if you could help. The website is nrc

The VDSL interference survey set up by the RSGB EMC Committee has now closed. Thank you to everyone who submitted their results. Following the survey, Ofcom is now investigating levels at six locations close to Baldock. We'll keep you posted of further outcomes.

And now the DX news compiled from 425 DX News and other sources

At the time of writing this week’s script, the 3Y0Z Bouvet Island DXpedition team is now at anchor off Bouvet Island, but weather and sea conditions have not reached the point where the team can begin transporting equipment and personnel ashore. Apparently, winds are 35 to 40 knots, the ship is pitching and rolling up to 30 degrees and it is around 0 degrees Celsius. Once they get ashore, the team of operators will be operating as 3Y0Z until the 28th of February. Activity will be on the 160 to 2m bands with multiple stations using CW, SSB, RTTY and FT8, with EME on 6 and 2 metres. QSL via N2OO.

Chuck, W0DLE is operating as 3W9DLE from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam until the 30th of April. Activity is on the HF bands using CW, SSB and FT8. QSL direct to his home callsign.

Dick, AD7AF will be on the air as 5W0LR until the 22nd of February in Samoa. Activity will be on the 40 to 15m bands, and possibly 80m, using primarily CW and FT8 with some SSB, depending on band conditions. QSL direct to his home callsign.

Tim, N4UM, Bob, N4BP and Mike, K4RUM will be on the air as C6ARU, C6AKQ, and C6AUM, respectively, from Great Abaco Island, in the Bahamas, IOTA reference NA-080 from the 6th to the 20th of February. Activity will be on the 160 to 6m bands, with a focus on CW. QSL direct to his home callsigns.

Gloucester Amateur Radio & Electronics Society is helping the Quedgeley Brownies for Thinking Day on the Air. Listen out for GB4QBP.

Now the contest news

Today, the 4th of February, the 432MHz AFS contest takes place from 0900UTC to 1300UTC. Using all modes on the 432MHz band, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator.

On Tuesday the 144MHz FM Activity Contest runs from 1900 to 2000UTC. It is followed by the 144MHz UK Activity Contest that uses all modes from 2000 to 2230UTC. The exchange for both is signal report, serial number and locator.

There’s a similar evening on Thursday with the 50MHz FM Activity Contest from 1900 to 2000UTC and the 50MHz UK Activity Contest using all modes from 2000 to 2230UTC. The exchange is signal report, serial number and locator.

On Saturday the first 1.8MHz contest runs from 1900 to 2300UTC. Using CW only, the exchange is signal report, serial number and District.

Next weekend, the 10th and 11th, the CQ World Wide WPX RTTY contest runs for 48 hours from 0000UTC on the 10th. Using RTTY only on the 3.5 to 28MHz bands, the exchange is signal report and serial number.

Also next weekend, from 1200UTC on the 10th to 1200UTC on the 11th is the PACC contest. Using CW and SSB on the 1.8 to 28MHz bands the exchange is signal report and serial number, with PA stations exchanging their Province details too.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Friday the 2nd of February.

Solar activity remained at very low levels last week, with one barely-visible sunspot group pushing the sunspot number to a maximum of 13 and the solar flux index to 69. Geomagnetic conditions were largely settled, with some coronal hole activity pushing the K index to three at times.

Despite the low SFI, there was band activity up to at least 21MHz. Z60A in Kosovo came up to a 59 on 15 metres CW on Wednesday and the FT8 frequency, 21.074MHz, revealed varying amounts of activity. So the message is that despite a low solar flux index it does pay to check the upper bands regularly. The FT8 frequencies are a good starting point, as are the International Beacon Project frequencies.

Next week NOAA predicts the solar flux index will remain around the 70 mark. Geomagnetic conditions should be slightly unsettled, with a maximum K index of three throughout the week, rising to four on Saturday 10th due to ongoing coronal hole activity.

All eyes and ears will be on Bouvet Island this week as the 3Y0Z DXpedition gets underway. Described as the most remote island on Earth, Bouvet is 1000 miles north of Antarctica and a near north-south 7400km path from the UK. But it won’t be an easy one as signals are likely to be fairly weak unless you have a beam. Checking with the VOACAP online software shows 17m or 15m might offer the best chance of a daytime contact, with 17m peaking around 1600-1800UTC. 40m and 30m offer the best chance of an evening or night time path. By next week we should have a better idea of how strong they are.

And now the VHF and up propagation news.

This week we are in a cold northerly with heavy wintry showers around the coasts, sometimes driven a fair way inland at times. We therefore have the prospects of rain scatter on the microwave bands, and you can track the showers on one of the many weather radars out there on the web.

The pressure has remained low through this weekend, but high pressure returns early next week. It’s unlikely that this will produce good enough inversions to produce much Tropo. In any event, this is soon replaced by more unsettled weather after mid-week. This will mean wet and windy weather at times and unlikely to do much for VHF/UHF conditions.

Random meteor rates are still low and there are no showers due until the Lyrids shower at the end of April. EME conditions will decline this week as Moon declination goes negative today, meaning shorter Moon windows in the Northern hemisphere. Path losses will increase all week as we approach apogee a week today. So, it’s looking like a good week to do some VHF DXing on the various artificial satellites. Look on the AMSAT-UK website for details.

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