SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was low. A long duration C1 flare began at
1347Z (end at 1514Z): there was apparently no corresponding
optical signature. A 13 degree filament near S11W12 disappeared
sometime between 17/2121Z and 18/1112Z.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
very low to low.
The geomagnetic field was unsettled to active with some
brief minor storm periods at high latitudes. This activity may
be the result of lingering effects from yesterday's major storm
or it could be effects from a favorably positioned coronal
hole.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly active for the next one to two days
due to coronal hole effects. Conditions should subside to
predominantly unsettled sometime on the third day.
Event probabilities 19 apr-21 apr

HF propagation conditions recovered fairly rapidly during
the day today. Near-normal propagation conditions returned to
the low and middle latitude paths, while high and polar
latitude regions struggled with below-normal, but steadily
improving conditions. All regions should see near-normal
propagation by 21 April.

Hi out there!

Who will be the speaker at the hamfest banquet Sat nite?
Has anyone heard what the parking situation is? I heard rumors

Hi all... I have been interested in amateur radio for a couple of years
and am ready to go and take the exam..
I have reviewed question pools (as well as read manuals) regarding the
Novice No-Code license as well as the technician plus class license.
I am interested in transmitting on 2m. What license is required to
transmit on 2m. I have played around with Radio Shack's 2m and really
like it. It works pretty good for a Radio Shack product ;) .....
I just need to know what license I need to be able to transmit on 2m.
Also, if anyone knows where I can FTP either a text file of questions, or
a program that will give me questions regarding novice and/or techicial
license. The program I currently have is out of date.
Thanks...

It depends on what you're trying to do. Both 440 and 1200 MHz work pretty
well along large boreholes. Many cavers use 49, 146, 440 and 1200 MHz for
liason between the top and bottom of large (or noisy) pits. If you want
to penetrate rock for communication purposes, the usual method used isn't
actually radio but magnetic induction coupling at frequencies between
1KHz and about 200 KHz. The lower frequencies are useful for location
since the dipole fields generated by the loop 'antennas' are undistorted
by the effects of the conductive medium. At higher frequencies quadrature
fields begin to appear which is actually an advantage for communications
since 'antenna' orientation is less critical. The higer frequencies are
preferable for voice since the coupling and bandwidth are increased. If
you would like to discuss it further, email me.

Hi guys
I found the Good HF propagation while I was in Hong Kong
operating at VS6WO in WPX SSB.
20m was really good, 15m & 40m were not too bad.
However I could not find the way to bring it back to Japan.
No more good propagation here in Tokyo.
If anyone tell me how to bring it to my home, I'll be back
to VS6 to find out the GREAT porpagation.

If it could send graphics, that would be a bonus. I've looked in the ham

I'll echo that in case you haven't figured it out yet. You're software is
broken. If you are running a PC under MS-DOS (as I'll assume since you are
NOT running Unix and CNEWS) install SNEWS. It is a threaded newsreader for
IBM systems running MS-DOS. It is compatible with UUCP. It is available via
ftp from a number of sources. If you do not have ftp access, send me e-mail
and I'll provide you with the details on how to get it from me on a diskette.
This is not at all a condescending attitude. It is simply the truth. Your
software is broken. I'm offering to fix it for you.
As a single user running an IBM clone, the package pair of SNEWS and UUPC
make an excellent team for both mail and news. About the only limitations
I've seen with SNEWS is crosposting to more than 2-3 groups and trying to
read a bit of news that was about 180K in size (and binary) that some fool
posted.

AMATEUR RADIO EXAMINATION OPPORTUNITIES
*****************************************************************
Special Note: Amateur Radio licenses usually arrive between 8 and
10 weeks after the test session. The FCC considers their
processing time to be 90 days--from the date they receive the
application. The FCC usually receives the application one
to two weeks after the test session (once the VE Team and the
coordinating VEC have completed their processing).
Note: Codeless Technician to Technician w/HF upgraders (who pass a
Morse code test) will not receive a new license from the FCC.
The existing Technician license plus the CSCE conveying the Morse
code test credit is the only documentation issued for use of
the additional HF privileges.
*****************************************************************
The following test session information is provided by the
ARRL/VEC for the upcoming six to eight week period. For
further information, please contact the test session CONTACT
PERSON at the telephone number provided. If necessary, you
may contact the ARRL/VEC at 203-666-1541 x282 for additional
information. Electronic mail may be forwarded to the ARRL/VEC
via USENET at "bjahnke@arrl.org" or via MCI Mail to
MCI ID: 653-2312 or 215-5052.
Although the test session information presented here does
not indicate whether walk-ins are accepted or not, most test
sessions do allow walk-ins. We encourage you, however, to
always contact the CONTACT PERSON at the telephone number
provided so that the VE Team is aware that you be attending
the test session.
STILL NEED TO PREPARE FOR YOUR EXAM?
If you would like information on how to become licensed; or
how to locate Amateur Radio clubs, instructors, licensing
classes and/or Novice examiners in your area; please contact
the ARRL Educational Activities Department (EAD) at 203-666-
1541 x219. The EAD can also provide information on
recommended study materials. Electronic mail may be forwarded
to the ARRL EAD via USENET at "rwhite@arrl.org" or via MCI Mail to

The following message was to me, K1OIK, and now we know the reason Luck
Hurder was dismissed from the ARRL. Luck really sounds like a criminal?
Msg #3460 From: KZ1Z Date: 17-Apr 1204Z Subj: Re: FYI - ARRL
Hi Burt,
Many thanks for your note. The issue was indeed a stupid one.
HQ/Directors wanted copies of all correspondence to and from ARRL
officials everywhere. Thus, Section leaders would have to copy
everuything to their respective Directors. No problem, as the mass of
what was asked would probably kill the policy of its own wieght. The
problem...Luck advised the Section leadership of the new policy.
Imagine advising the leadership of the institution of a new policy,
afterall the leadership didn't get the word from the directors that
such was being done. Really a stupid situation, which should have been
handled in a more professional manner. Just because a Director
somewhere got bent out of shape, that is no reason to terminate an
employee.
Thanks for your interest.
