FROM THE PREZ
As I write this, the K7C operation on Kure Island is taking place. They have been active on all bands, SSB & CW, with some RTTY. Get them in the log. Operation from Kure will be sporadic in the future due to its status as a preserve.
Note: October meeting will be at the Round Table Pizza in Martell. This is our ‘old’ meeting place. Meeting was moved for this meeting only to help support the Amador club’s swap meet at the Wal-Mart a short distance to the west.
…and speaking of meeting places, I am sure there will be some more discussion on where we meet. I suspect the Ione Hotel may have lost its appeal in some member’s opinions. The menu is limited; service has not been the ‘best’, there are no provisions for audio/visual presentations, etc. RT, for instance, has A/V provisions & is more convenient for some. RT still has the requirements that we spend at least $100 and reservations cannot be made more than 30 days in advance. One of our members thinks we can work around that. (Monthly attendance has been about 12-14 on the sign-in sheet, with 17 at the last meeting. If each attendee spends $8+, we should about break even.). There may be other considerations. For those unable to attend & wish to comment, please contact me or one of the board members. For us the distance is about the same. With the Sutter Creek by-pass due to open soon, that hassle will be eliminated.
Seats are open for the CQ World-Wide SSB contest October 29 & 30 at K6KM’s in Yankee Hill. This is a 48 hour contest, so one could operate some from Bill’s, then head home & work some DX from your home station. Sign up with Rick, W6SR (samoian@).
Pacificon is the Pacific Division’s ARRL convention…October 14, 15 & 16. Details are available on the web. There are antenna & legal forums on Friday, more forums, swap meet & dinner on Saturday + opportunities to meet & greet all weekend.
Thanks to Ron, N6NIA for the great job he has been as secretary of the MLDX/CC taking notes and to Rick, W6SR for a consistently fine newsletter. Together they keep us well informed on club news, DX and other items of interest.
See ya’ at RT and at the swap meet!!
Dick, K6LRN.

MLDXCC Club Meeting minutes for 24 September 2005
Meeting called to order @ 12:39LT by Club President Dick Wilson K6LRN.
Club officers in attendance where WX6V, KI6T, ND6S, N6NIA. Missing was club treasurer K6TKD.
President Dick Wilson asked those in attendance begin the meeting with a moment of silence for Alderick Cassidy WA6AUD and Herb Rosenburg KG6OK, both Silent Keys.
A motion was made to accept the minutes and treasurer’s report from the last meeting as printed in the Nugget. Motion was carried.
Visitor and Amador ARC representative Bob Anderson WQ6M was in attendance. Bob is the Raffle coordinator for their club’s upcoming swap meet and asking for support for their raffle event that will take place in the north corner of the Wal Mart shopping center on October 8th. Bob reported that they have over $1300 in prizes to offer and that you don’t have to be present at the swap meet to win. Tickets can be purchased or any questions, contact Bob wq6m@ or try their club net Tuesday evenings at 19:30LT on the 146.835 Amador
Repeater.
There was discussion as to how important it is to support neighboring clubs like the Amador ARC as they have a very active new ham (HAM CRAM) program to support new operators. For this reason the MLDX/CC has decided to move its October meeting to the old location or Round Table Pizza in Martel as it’s within walking distance to the Amador Swap. Ken Anderson K6TA has reserved the back room by posting the $100 minimum fee. The club will reimburse Ken and club treasurer Carolyn Wilson K6TKD will collect money for orders taken at RTP. It is important that MLDX/CC turn out to support this event.
Director Ray Parker ND6S (who is also President of the Amador ARC) made a statement thanking MLDX/CC for its support.
Dick Wilson stated that the club treasurer has not received contributions from those who attended MLDX/CC’s Field Day event towards rental of the Porto-Potty. A request was made that the club Treasurer present a list of those in attendance and those who haven’t paid. This must be done to keep the club’s treasury solid and pay its upcoming insurance bill.
Rick Karlquist N6RK who was MLDX/CC’s volunteer representative for the Visalia Convention announced that he had a donation awarded to MLDXCC for it’s support in staffing the prize room for the convention. A check was presented to club president for delivery to the club treasurer.
Club officers discussed the importance of re-reimbursing Rick for the out of pocket expenses that he incurred. Motion was made to pay Rick from the club treasury. Motion was carried.
Rick Samoian W6SR commented that Herb Rosenburg KG6OK (now SK) had been the prize Chairman for the last 5 years at the International DX Convention and had done a great job in keeping the quality of the prizes at a high level.
Dick Wilson reminded those in attendance to participate in upcoming CQP and turn in their scores for MLDX/CC to help the club retain it winning record.
Club VP Jim Venneman WX6V reminded those in attendance that Bill Snyder K6KM has made a gracious offer for the use of his station in the upcoming CQ-WW contest, weekend of October 29th.
Jim also presented a summary of MLDX/CC’s participation in the 2005 Field Day event.
Meeting was adjourned at 14:00LT.
Respectfully submitted by club secretary, Ron - N6NIA
Member news/feedback & editor’s notes
I received a 2005 certificate for ARRL DX TEST,1st place SOHP SAC Valley . It came
in the new Blue and Black colors. de KI6CG
Got a big bunch of big tubes at the Tube Collectors Association meeting. They gave me the 2005 Schrader Award for "Historic Preservation". Something new to hang on the wall. de Norm N6JV
Catching Island Fever:
The K7C has been leading many people on a merry chase. Having never worked the place I jumped in the middle of the pile up with everyone else. The openings from here to the Island have been good, but alas most of the time they'd be working EU and UP (up is un-statement, up to about the band edge). If an alien spaceship happened to be passing by they would really think we are nuts. Everyone giving a call sign over and over again, anywhere from a couple of minutes to several hours and then only getting ..... -. -. in return. I have never been a follower of the CW mode, but trying to working them for what seemed like endless hours my ears seems to remember and suddenly I was copying code again, of course this maybe only be a temporary condition.
The interesting thing is their confirmation system if you have a green square you have the contact. The number of hits that their web site has taken is mostly from those of us looking for the little green square to light up. (Just enter K7C on your web browser.) to get there.
This station died with my 3-500 becoming a light bulb and I had to run with only the 1000MP, but still managing to work them on SSB and CW on 80m, 40m , 17m and 30m CW. Still needing 12m, 10m on both modes and only CW on 20m. Every time there is a posting for 12m, or 10m it's from the wrong side of the planet. de Lyle, K6QG
Kay, K6KO worked K7C for #326, that puts her on the Honor Roll. Not bad
for someone first licensed in 1996. Also her #324 on phone. de Ken K6TA CONGRATS KAY!! de Editor
EDITOR’S NOTES
Well the ol’ Nugget is a bit sparse this month because of the short time between Sept. and Oct meeting and the limited talent of ur editor, HI HI.
Ron, N6NIA operated the CQP from here. He said he had fun and best of all his score is somewhere around 142K in points and 1070 qso's. I think (with other members posted scores) we’re well on our way to another CQP win!
Don’t forget we have been invited to do a M/S or M/2 operation in the CQ Worldwide SSB contest on the last full weekend of October at the great K6KM station at Yankee Hill, northeast of Chico. I am scheduling operators. Contact me about availability & preferences. The dates are October 29 & 30, 0000Z-2400Z (starts at 4 PM, Friday PST and ends at 4 PM, Sunday, PST). Bill’s station is well equipped with Yaesu MPs driving Alpha amps sending lots of RF to lots of aluminum.
Karen and I had made plans for this Saturday a while ago so we can’t attend the meeting. But Ron or Dick can get info. from our members, and field questions re: the CQWW the end of the month from K6Km’s. I will respond to all of them and setup a compatible schedule ASAP after that. C U all next month, de Rick W6SR

PROPAGATION FORECAST
SB PROP ARL ARLP041
ARLP041 Propagation de K7RA
Average daily sunspot numbers dropped over the past week by over 16 points to 29.7. Solar flux values were down 20 points to 80.2. The week was quiet, with no geomagnetic storms. September 26-28 had the
most geomagnetic activity, but it was all pretty mild. The K index for middle latitude and planetary readings only went to 3 or 4 on occasion and quickly dropped back to 2.
The forecast for the next few days, September 30 to October 2, is for low sunspot activity. The next peak of activity may be when sunspot 798 returns, currently on the Sun's far side. That activity should peak around October 14-16. The geomagnetic prediction for this weekend is for mild to unsettled conditions, with the planetary A index for September 30 through October 3 at 15, 15, 12 and 12.
Prague Geophysical Institute predicts quiet conditions for October 5 and 6, quiet to unsettled conditions October 3 and 4, and unsettled conditions September 30 through October 2.
Brandon Duke, KC0UWS says he is still working 10 meters successfully from Colorado into South America, with only 25 watts and an indoor isoloop in his apartment. Around September 20-23 he worked Brazil, Belize, Costa Rica and Argentina among others, all with S8 signal reports. 15 meters is still good as well, and open more often than 10 meters. Doing a path projection from Dallas, Texas to Brazil over this weekend with a sunspot number of only 22 shows 15 meters opening strongly from 1530-2300z. Signal strengths should be better toward the end of that period.
The West Coast also looks good, with 15 meters probably open from 1630-2400z toward Brazil from Seattle. Move east though, and the opening tightens a bit. From Cleveland, the opening isn't as strong and probably only runs from 1630-2000z.
Allan Greening, VK3PA said he has worked 250 countries on 80 meters from Australia over the past three years. You can see his notes on DX worked at, .

Sunspot numbers for September 22 through 28 were 28, 49, 33, 28, 25, 23 and 22 with a mean of 29.7. 10.7 cm flux was 83.7, 82.8, 81.4, 81, 81.3, 76.9, and 74.6, with a mean of 80.2. Estimated planetary A indices were 8, 8, 4, 5, 14, 13 and 12 with a mean of 9.1. Estimated mid-latitude A indices were 6, 5, 2, 3, 9, 10 and 12, with a mean of 6.7.
