I am in need of a socket the will hold a 286 CPU. I need to extend the
plug for an addon board. Does anyone know where I might find/order one?
Thanks,

NOTE: The Effective Sunspot Number for 23 DEC 93 is not available.
The Full Kp Indices for 23 DEC 93 are: 2- 3- 1+ 3- 3- 2+ 2- 3+
SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was moderate. Region 7640 (N08E21)
produced two M1/1N flares maxing at 1507Z and 1815Z. No radio
activity was reported with these two flares. Numerous C-class
flaring has also occurred in this region over the past 24
hours. White light observations indicate 7640 has nearly
doubled in spot number and has grown significantly in area with
rapid penumbra development throughout the region. Two new
Regions were numbered overnight -- Rgn 7642 (N10W20) and Rgn
7643 (S16E69). All other regions were stable. One other item
of note to pass on: just minutes ago, Santa Claus was
positively identified on radar leaving the polar cap and
passing through the auroral oval. Any minor disturbances in
ionospheric signatures should be attributed to this seasonal
phenomenon.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
moderate. Continued development in Region 7640 should produce
more M-class activity with a slight chance of X-class activity.
STD: Big Bear reported new positive polarity flux emerging just
slightly southwest of the main negative polarity leader flux.
If this feature persists, it could result in additional C and
M class flare activity and may even possibly provide a
mechanism for a stronger event. This region now encompasses an
impressive 73 spots and is bright in x-rays, as illistrated in
the appended full-disk Yohkoh x-ray image. A small and
potentially mildly geoeffective southern hemisphere coronal
hole crossed the central meridian over the last 24 to 36 hours.
Although it is still difficult to discern, there appears to be
a moderately large coronal hole to the east and north of Region
7640, just now rotating into view.
The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to unsettled levels
for the past 24 hours.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet.

STD: HF propagation conditions have not changed over the
last 24 hours. High and polar latitude regions continued to
observe occasional periods of minor signal degradation (poor
propagation). Middle and low latitudes experienced near-normal
propagation. There was a confirmed minor SWF on frequencies as
high as approximately 10 to 12 MHz at about 18:15 UTC. No
changes are expected over the next 72 hours. SWF activity will
remain quite possible over daylit paths throughout the next
several days.

NOTES:
All times are in Universal Time (UT). Characters preceding begin, max,
and end times are defined as: B = Before, U = Uncertain, A = After.
All times associated with x-ray flares (ex. flares which produce
associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the
x-rays. Flares which are not associated with x-ray signatures use the
optical observations to determine the begin, max, and end times.
Acronyms used to identify sweeps and optical phenomena include:
II = Type II Sweep Frequency Event
III = Type III Sweep
IV = Type IV Sweep
V = Type V Sweep
Continuum = Continuum Radio Event
Loop = Loop Prominence System,
Spray = Limb Spray,
Surge = Bright Limb Surge,
EPL = Eruptive Prominence on the Limb.

I have asked for this info before without a response. I am also
interested in this information. I still buy the repeater directory but
would like to also have an electronic eddition to make a custom sheet of
repeaters for a trip.

Predicted geomagnetic activity is based heavily on recurrent

Chart Start Date: Day #297
NOTES:
This graph is determined by plotting the greater of either the planetary
A-index or the Boulder A-index. Graph lines are labelled according
to the severity of the activity which occurred on each day. The left-
hand column represents the associated A-Index for that day.
Q = Quiet, U = Unsettled, A = Active, M = Minor Storm,
J = Major Storm, and S = Severe Storm.

NOTES:
The 10.7 cm solar radio flux is plotted from data reported
by the Penticton Radio Observatory (formerly the ARO from
Ottawa). High solar flux levels denote higher levels of
activity and a greater number of sunspot groups on the Sun.
The 90-day mean solar flux graph is charted from the 90-day
mean of the 10.7 cm solar radio flux.

NOTES:
These VHF DX prediction charts are defined for the 30 MHz to 220 MHz
bands. They are based primarily on phenomena which can affect VHF DX
propagation globally. They should be used only as a guide to potential
DX conditions on VHF bands. Latitudinal boundaries are the same as those for
the HF predictions charts.
