To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
NudeNet is a radio net for radio amateurs that are also nudists and
naturists. We meet each Thursday evening at 0000Z on or near
14.265MHz depending on QRM.
Most times, there are 10-20 check-ins. If you're a nudist,
a naturist, or just curious about clothing-optional recreation,
please check-in.
Discussions on NudeNet cover a wide range of topics but mostly
center around topics related to nude recreation, such as nude
beaches, nudist resorts, hot springs, nude hiking, etc.
Additionally, most of the regular participants are able to
provide information about clothing-optional recreation opportunities
in many areas of North America (or the world for that matter).
A quarterly newsletter is also slated to begin publication shortly.
We announce "current events" on an electronic mailing list.
If you'd like to be added to this mailing list, please send email to
ben@yosemite.sps.mot.com
Include a short note telling us something about yourself that can be
used as a first post. This serves as your introduction to the group.

Also, their phone # is (203) 666-1541. For info about getting the
ticket, you would want to talk to the Educational Activities
Department. I have dealt with both Rosalie White and Tracey Bedlack(?)
in the EAD, and they are both very nice people. Good luck!

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
--------------------
Solar activity was very low. Very little activity occurred
during the day, but the sun continues to generate numerous
small centers of emerging flux. Regions 7713 (N07E26) and 7715
(N08W42) showed steady growth during the period. A new region
number 7716 (N02W14) was assigned to newly emerging spots
today.
Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
low. Recent growth in 7713 suggests that there is a fair chance
for an isolated C-class flare.
The geomagnetic field ranged from unsettled to major storm
levels. Minor to major storm conditions dominated from 01/2100Z
through about 02/1200Z. Conditions subsided to unsettled to
active for the remainder of the day. The disturbance is
probably the result of a favorably positioned coronal hole.
Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
expected to be active at mid-latitudes and minor storm at high
latitudes for the next 12-24 hours due to persistence. Con-
ditions should transition to unsettled to active levels on the
second and third days.
Event probabilities 03 may-05 may
Class M 01/01/01
Class X 01/01/01
Proton 01/01/01
PCAF Green
Geomagnetic activity probabilities 03 may-05 may
A. Middle Latitudes
Active 50/25/10
Minor Storm 30/10/05
Major-Severe Storm 05/05/05
B. High Latitudes
Active 35/25/10
Minor Storm 30/10/05
Major-Severe Storm 15/05/05
HF propagation conditions were below-normal from the high
to the upper-middle latitude regions today. Geomagnetic and
auroral substorming has resulted in poor to occassionally very
poor propagation over the high latitudes and generally fair to
occassionally poor propagation over affected middle latitude
paths. Similar conditions are expected to persist over the
next 24 to 48 hours before returning to less disturbed levels.

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:

III = Type III Sweep
IV = Type IV Sweep
V = Type V Sweep
Continuum = Continuum Radio Event

Last field day our club used FD logging software that I got off the
ARRL BBS. It worked really well and did a really good job for us. I
don't remember the name of it but there is only a couple of FD packages
on there.

I know this might belong in the antenna group, but thought it would get a bit
more exposure for replies here.
I'm interested in replacing my Wilson Tribander with a Quad... probably a
3 or 4 element one that covers at least 10,15, and 20. What are the opinions
of those users on the net. Any I should seriously look at and any I should
shy away from?
What about 'kits'? Who has quality components?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.... Bill/N6GHG

They are nice, aren't they? The answer is, it can be done. All you need to
do, is submit a form 610, and request a duplicate. My wife lost her's, and it
came in the mail in about 4 weeks.

If I'm not mistaken, if you simply send in the form 610 to renew your
license (which is free) they will send you the new format, even if 10
years isn't up. Or a change of address, for that matter.

PIRATE USING RAC HEADQUARTERS CALL SIGN
Industry Canada has been notified of a pirate station operating on
Packet Radio using RAC's new Headquarters station call-sign "VA3RAC". An
"anonymous" packet message originating out of a Georgetown Ontario BBS
discredited and attacked members of RAC's national executive.
Canadian amateurs are advised that VA3RAC messages or news bulletins
originate out of the Kingston Ontario BBS "VE3CDY" only. Officials are seeking
information leading to the identity of the persons illegally using the VA3RAC
"pirated" call-sign. RAC legal counsel is examining abusive Packet messages
used to defame individuals. Legal action is contemplated.

Because of space limitations I use a ground-mounted 12AVQ (20, 15 and 10m)
and while it gets out fine and hears reasonably well on those bands, even
though I can get it look good to the transceiver with a transmatch, it
will not radiate more than a dozen or so miles on 40 and 80.
Cheers and 73,
Rob
