- SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
- --------------------
-
- Solar activity was moderate by virtue of a single
- M1/1N flare in Region 7640 (N09W39) at 28/1659UT. This region
- produced only three C-class flares and is beginning to decay.
- Region 7644 (N12W26) produced a single small C-class flare and
- is decaying as well.
-
- Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
- low to moderate. Region 7640 has a good chance of an occasional
- M-class flare and an outside chance of an isolated X-class
- flare.
-
- The geomagnetic field has been at quiet levels for
- the past 24 hours.
-
- Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
- expected to be quiet to unsettled for the next 12 to 18 hours
- then unsettled to minor storm for the remainder of the forecast
- period as a large coronal hole rotates into favorable position.
- High latitude stations could see major to severe storm levels.
-
- Event probabilities 29 dec-31 dec
-
- Class M 50/50/50
- Class X 05/05/05
- Proton 05/05/05
- PCAF Green
-
- Geomagnetic activity probabilities 29 dec-31 dec
-
- A. Middle Latitudes
- Active 30/30/30
- Minor Storm 25/25/25
- Major-Severe Storm 05/10/05
-
- B. High Latitudes
- Active 30/30/30
- Minor Storm 30/30/30
- Major-Severe Storm 10/15/10
-
- HF propagation conditions were normal over all regions.
- Conditions are expected to become degraded over the next 24 to
- 48 hours as a well placed coronal hole elevates levels of
- geophysical activity. High and polar latitude paths should see
- the heaviest degradation, although middle latitude paths will
- also notice the effects of this activity on night-sector paths.
- Conditions are expected to be the poorest on 30 December.
- Recovery to near-normal is not expected until early January.

-
- Hello, world!
-
- I have this NETSET PRO-2029 scanner that I got for Xmas... And was wondering
- if I could hack into it...
-
- I opened the box and found the main chip to be labeled: GRE-0811, followed by:
- 342 2947XX. No manufacturer, nothing more.
-
- Does anyone know who makes this chip? Where I could get some info on it?
-
-
- This scaner is manufactured by InterTAN (Texas?). Anyone know their phone
- number?
-
- Thanks for any help!
-
- Gilles.

- Any suggestions on minimizing this?

- The radio licence was abolished quite some time ago. You only need a
- licence to operate a TV receiver now.
-
- Interestingly enough, this includes a video recorder and, because a video can
- receive/record colour, you have to pay for a colour licence even if your TV
- is only a black-and-white. I have even heard a rumour that someone without a
- TV but with a teletext adapter on his computer had to get a colour licence
- because he could display the teletext in colour. Still, I suppose it is all
- worth it to get two channels with no adverts!
