Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 20 - 26 February 2017

Solar activity was at very low levels on 20-21 and 25-26 Feb with
low levels observed on 22-24 Feb. Region 2638 (N19, L=111,
class/area Dso/150 on 22 Feb) produced three C-class flares, one
each on 22-24 Feb. The largest of these was a C4/1f flare observed
on 22/1327 UTC. Several weak CMEs were observed during the period,
but none of them had an Earth-directed component.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
moderate levels on 20, 22-24 and 26 Feb. High levels were observed
on 21 and 25 Feb.

Geomagnetic field activity was at predominately quiet to active
levels with an isolated minor storm (G1-Minor) interval early on 24
Feb. Quiet to unsettled levels were observed on 20-21 and 25-26 Feb
under a nominal solar wind regime. Quiet to isolated G1 levels were
observed on 22-24 Feb under the influence of a positive polarity CH
HSS. Solar wind speeds reached a peak of 671 km/s at 24/0516 UTC.
Total field (Bt) reached a peak of near 12 nT late on 23 Feb while
the Bz component reached a maximum southward extent of -10 nT, again
late on 23 Feb. Phi angle was in a predominately positive solar
sector throughout the summary period.

FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 27 FEBRUARY - 25 MARCH 2017

Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels with a chance
for isolated C-class activity during the outlook period.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at high levels on 27 Feb, 01-13, 19-20 and 24-25 Mar.
Normal to moderate levels are expected on 28 Feb, 14-18 and 21-23
Mar.

Geomagnetic field activity is likely to be reach G1 (Minor)
geomagnetic storm levels on 01-02 and 16 Mar due to recurrent CH HSS
influence. Unsettled to active geomagnetic field activity is
expected on 28 Feb, 03-04, 15, 17-19 and 21-24 Mar due to CH HSS
influence. Mostly quiet conditions are expected for the remainder of
the period under a nominal solar wind regime.

Meter Band Equivalents
Ham & SWL
160->   90
80->     75
60->     60
40->     49, 41
30->     31, 25
20->     22, 19
17->    16, 15
15->    13
12,10-> 11

Please keep in mind that this is a relatively simplified HF radio wave 
propagation forecast, so as to keep it easily understandable by the average 
radio enthusiast.

Globally HF radio wave propagation conditions are most evenly balanced 
during the fall and spring equinoxes and most diametrically opposed during 
the summer and winter solstices.

Conditions also change daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and by decade, as the 
sun rises and sets at different times and at different angles from the 
ecliptic, as well as by radio wave frequency. This is due to changes in the 
maximum usable frequency (MUF), lowest usable frequency (LUF) and F layer 
critical frequency (FoF2).

The D and E layers also come into play through RF radio wave signal 
absorption and refraction. And then there is sporadic E (Es) radio wave 
propagation that can really throw a wrench into the gears so to speak.

Things like sporadic E (Es) radio wave propagation and lightning storm 
static can impact HF radio wave propagation in an unpredictable manner and 
mostly bad.

Ongoing solar, space and geomagnetic weather goings on also impact HF radio 
wave propagation conditions in a negative manner.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solar Space & Geomagnetic Weather Conditions On

Monday February 27, 2017-

Solar activity was moderate.

Earth's magnetic field was unsettled.

The three daily solar flux index (SFI) numbers were 82.2 82.2 82.3.

The official daily sunspot number (SSN) was 40.

Sunspot group #12638 was located near N16W28 with a simple alpha magnetic 
signature.

Sunspot group #12639 was located near S08W74 with a simple
beta magnetic signature.

Sunspot group #12640 was located near N09E11 with a simple beta magnetic 
signature.

Sunspot group #12641 was located near N15E47 with a beta gamma twisted 
magnetic signature capable of producing medium
sized M class solar flares.

Two newly emerged but as of yet unnumbered sunspot groups were earth facing 
at approximately

N13W02,
N15E38.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2017 there were 11 days with a daily sunspot number (SSN) of 0. 
Considering that solar minimum won't occur for approximately three more 
years, +/- one year, seeing daily SSN's of 0 occurring now is unusually 
early.

In 2016 there were 32 days with a daily sunspot number (SSN) of 0. 
Considering that solar minimum won't occur for approximately three more 
years, seeing daily SSN's of 0 occurring now is unusually early.

As we move forward towards the next solar minimum between solar cycle #24 
and #25 the number of days with a 0 daily SSN will steadily increase. 
Eventually every day for many many many months will see a 0, the big goose 
egg.

In 2008 I fore casted solar cycle 24 to be the weakest in the past 100 years 
and that forecast verified. I also fore casted that solar cycle 25 would be 
virtually non existent, similar to the Dalton type solar minimum that 
occurred in the early 1800's. It will probably be very difficult to 
determine when solar cycle 24 ended and solar cycle 25 began.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No earth directed coronal mass ejections (CME) occurred.

No earth directed collapsing magnetic filament eruptions occurred.

The twenty four hour period three hour interval planetary K index (Kp) was 
at unsettled to quiet geomagnetic conditions of 1 2 1 1 1 1 3 3.

The Kp geomagnetic indices are-
0-2- quiet
3- unsettled
4- active
5- minor geomagnetic storming
6- moderate
7- strong
8- severe
9- extreme
10- our atmosphere just got cooked off like on Mars and we are all dead.

The maximum and minimum planetary A index (Ap) ranged between 12 and 4, 
which was at unsettled to quiet geomagnetic conditions.

The Ap geomagnetic indices are-
0-7- quiet
8-15 unsettled
16-29- active
30-49- minor geomagnetic storm
50-99- major
100-400- severe
>401- our atmosphere just got cooked off like on Mars and we are all dead.

The daily averaged background x-ray flux was A7.8.

The daily averaged vertical component (Bz) of earth's magnetic field 
was -3.9 nT south.

The maximum and minimum Dst ranged between +3 and -13.

No energetic proton events greater than 10 MeV (10+0) occurred.

The maximum and minimum solar wind speed was 394 and 337. km/s and was 
emanating from coronal hole #792 (#788).

There was a recurrent trans equatorial earth facing (CH) coronal hole #792 
(#788).

During it's previous passage across the earth facing side of the sun it 
produced minor (Kp-5) negative impacts on HF radio wave propagation.

And it has done the same this time around.

There was a newly emerged trans equatorial earth facing (CH) coronal hole 
#793.

GENERAL GUIDELINES CONCERNING CORRELATION OF PROPAGATION INDICES TO ACTUAL 
HF PROPAGATION CONDITIONS-

NOTE!!!  The propagation indices "interpretations" are my personal 
intellectual property. Therefore the radio wave propagation indices 
interpretations contained herein is copyrighted © 1988-2017 by Thomas F. 
Giella, W4HM, all rights reserved. Reproduction of information herein is 
allowed without permission in advance as long as proper credit is given.

All 14 of the following indices have to occur as described below in order to 
see the best global high frequency radio wave propagation possible. 
Something that happens rarely.

1.) Dropping geomagnetic field indices numbers are better, Kp of 0 best.

2.) A daily sunspot number of 150 or higher, 200 or higher best.

3.) A daily sunspot number of greater than 100 for routine stable formation 
of the E Valley/F Layer ducting mechanism.

4.) Previous 24 hour Ap index under 10, fewer than 7 for several days 
consecutively are best.

5.) Previous 3 hours Kp index fewer than 3 for mid latitude paths, fewer 
than 2 for high latitude paths, 0 for several days consecutively is best.

6.) Energetic protons no greater than 10 MeV (10+0).

7.) Background x-ray flux levels greater than B1 for several days 
consecutively, greater than C1 best.

8.) No current STRATWARM alert.

9.) Interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bz with a (positive number) sign, 
indicates a lesser chance of high latitude path aurora 
absorption/unpredictable refraction or scattering of medium frequency RF 
signals, when the Kp is above 3.

10.) A -10 or better towards a positive number Dst index during the recovery 
time after a geomagnetic storm, as related to the equatorial ring current. A 
positive number is best.

11.) Rising positive T index number. The T Index tracks with the F2 layer 
critical frequency (foF2) and sunspot number (SSN) and indicates the 
capability of the F2 layer to refract RF signals.

12.) Galactic cosmic rays decrease to -3 units below zero and trending 
towards zero.

13.) Energetic electron flux levels no greater than 2 MeV (2+0).

14. A solar wind speed of less than 300 km/s for several days consecutively.

Few complain over ABC decision to switch off short-wave in NT


Just 14 people in the Northern Territory complained to the ABC about its decision to switch off its short-wave service.

“Fewer than 15 people located in the Northern Territory have contacted us since we made the announcement,” ABC managing director Michelle Guthrie told a senate estimates committee.

“The impact we have seen over the past three months is very clear by the number of people who have contacted us.”

The Senate Communications committee said it had 52 submissions, and the only submission in support of the decision to axe the service was the ABC’s own.

Ms Guthrie said the ABC would not reverse its decision.

Victorian Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie strongly disagreed with the decision to axe short-wave because it left remote rural communities including farmers and fisherman unable to access ABC services. “It works and has a utility for people and until something supersedes it surely we stick with it?” she asked.

David Pendleton, the ABC’s departing chief operating officer said short-wave was “not a reliable technology going forward” and the ABC said many broadcasters around the world were shutting short-wave services.
Northern Territory short-wave service cost the ABC $1.2m a year, the international short-wave service cost $2.8 million each year. The budget savings would be transferred into digital services and content, the ABC said.

The ABC said other states and territories do not have an ABC short-wave service.

It also pointed out that there were 22,000 active decoders for Viewer Access Satellite Television (VAST) in the Northern Territory, as well as AM and FM radio which people could access instead of short-wave.

“We go to VAST being a stopgap here and it’s simply not true.” Senator McKenzie said. “You didn’t talk to the people.”


“The continued provision of short wave service for a long contract is not in the best interest of efficient operation of ABC budget,” Ms Guthrie said.


The Mighty KBC


The Mighty KBC will use two frequencies for the March 5, 2017 0000-0200 UT broadcast. Usual 6145 and test 6040.

Engineers in Nauen know 6040 had QRM problems in the past, but they now believe the frequency is clear.

Please let the Mighty KBC know of reception conditions, if possible, on both frequencies.

** BRAZIL. 6152, Feb 27 at 0605, approx. center of RNA/RNB blob at S9+40, // VP 6180 and G 11780. Also second-order blob circa 6123 at only S9. It`s hard to make a match to 11780 during music, but can barely do so by pauses and some modulation during talk. Look for more further down the band, but none at 28-29 kHz intervals. However, a very similar-sounding one about 5931, probably something else locally. Recheck at 0710, the main ones have shifted slightly, to center around 6150 and 6119. 6151v is so strong compared to 6180 that obviously most of the 250? kW is emanating from the parasite (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6855, UT Mon Feb 27 at 0028, WRMI is playing Andean World Music instead of Christmas Radio. At 0030 M. T. Kelly, DJ is outroing some show, but soon cut off, plugged into wrong feed? 0032 back to World Music, African thumb piano (meanwhile my streetlight has ignited at *0031:20, clear sky at sunset which was 0024 UT). 

So another failure, but a week ago it was just dead air. Skedgrid still shows Christmas R. at 0000-0100 UT Mondays only on 6855, but rest of week unaccounted for during this hour. The transmission sked now colors 6855 magenta at 2200-0100, but no info at all about 2200-2400 content.

6855, UT Tue Feb 28 at 0036 check, nondescript maybe novelty tune, but 0036 program ID as ``Christmas Radio, where it`s always Christmas``. For all Xmas-all-the-time they must scrape the barrel to avoid playing the same carols every few minutes. WRMI skedgrid still asserts ``Times and Days are UTC``, but the Monday show showing up on Tuesday makes me wonder about that; likewise the Media Network Plus consistently showing up at 0700 on Thursday instead of Friday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5850 // 7730, Mon Feb 27 at 0716, WRMI with Jeff White himself, admittedly ``just back from Jordan``, but being interviewed by Bob Biermann on `Your Weekend Show` -- general info about WRMI, how it is the largest SWBC site in the western hemisphere, and what a great opportunity it would be for more evangelists. Biermann is in Port St Lucie, but I gather he does some engineering work for WRMI. 0734-0743 long break for some praise music. Now I can tell 6855 is also // this hour, but JBM. The WRMI Programming page explains:

Your Weekend Show is hosted by veteran broadcaster Bob Biermann. Bob has been in radio since 1971, and his career has spanned every aspect of the industry from On-Air, Engineering and even station ownership. Bob brings a unique perspective to his worldwide audience and shares from his own personal life experience in helping others on this life's journey. Besides being a longtime broadcaster, Bob is a Bishsop in the Anglican Church. You can visit the show's website at http://yourweekendshow.com
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. I finally received a reply on Feb 27 from Fred Moe of `Christian New Age Radio`:

``Greetings Glenn, Thank you for your email, I don't check my email often, and am just now responding to you. First and foremost, I do not have the funds per se to broadcast on WRMI and am surprised to hear that the program is still running. There are eight half-hour programs recorded as of now! You are the first listener that I have heard from. Yes I am Fred Moe who has listened to shortwave radio off & on for 20 years. I'm pleased that you find Christian New Age Radio refreshing; my intent is very different than what the over-zealous folks are doing. CNAR is an outreach of Christian New Age Quarterly (a periodical) and my humble house church. I shall try & come up with a suitable QSL for you which I will mail``

Here is what I had sent him two weeks ago:

Hello Rev. Frederick, I`ve run across your Christian New Age Radio show a few times, but it seems to be the same episode #2 (as you refer to previous pilot #1). Nor is it on the WRMI schedule the last time I checked, but the time I hear it is 2230 UT on Mondays, when three frequencies are carrying the same program (including mine, World of Radio, at the same time on Fridays.) 11580 is by far the best, with a good signal and no interference altho it is supposedly aimed NE from FL and I am NW of there. Also on much weaker 6855 to the WNW and 5950 to the south.

I normally don`t spend time on religious shows, but yours is a refreshing respite from the screaming preachers infesting so much of shortwave, including much of the time on WRMI. Also enjoy the pleasant music.

At the end, 2258 UT today February 13, you mention QSL, so I would
appreciate one, either to this e-mail address or by postal to Glenn
Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702.

Your name caught my attention immediately, since years ago we used to hear from a SW/DXer named Fred Moe, and wonder if you are the same person??

Your outro at 2258 also mentioned that the music just played had been
Failing Dream; and the homily came from The Liturgy. I was listening on my Icom R75 with about 100 feet of east-west longwire.

I see in the WRMI server that your file is dated November 2, 2016, so
apparently you have not uploaded any further episodes. I wonder what
happened --- and if you are aware that #2 is still being played every
week? Best wishes, Glenn Hauser``

And here is my reply to him:

``Fred, Good to hear from you. I don`t think I checked last Monday, but you and I should check today at 2230 whether you are still on the three frequencies. Several programs which were limited run or specials have kept showing up on WRMI long after they were supposedly over. Glenn``

So I do check Mon Feb 27 at 2230, and yes, there he is again on 11580 and VP 5950, introducing his episode #2 and saying he never listens to his own shows; now 6855 is no longer //, playing some other World Music (so what will happen Friday at 2230 for World of Radio, which was pre-empted on 6855 Feb 24?). The WRMI skedgrid still has a blank for 5950 at 2230 Monday, and no info at all for 11580 at 22-23 anyday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Please keep in mind that this is a relatively simplified HF radio wave
propagation forecast, so as to keep it easily understandable by the average
radio enthusiast.

Globally HF radio wave propagation conditions are most evenly balanced
during the fall and spring equinoxes and most diametrically opposed during
the summer and winter solstices.

Conditions also change daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and by decade, as the
sun rises and sets at different times and at different angles from the
ecliptic, as well as by radio wave frequency. This is due to changes in the
maximum usable frequency (MUF), lowest usable frequency (LUF) and F layer
critical frequency (FoF2).

The D and E layers also come into play through RF radio wave signal
absorption and refraction. And then there is sporadic E (Es) radio wave
propagation that can really throw a wrench into the gears so to speak.

Things like sporadic E (Es) radio wave propagation and lightning storm
static can impact HF radio wave propagation in an unpredictable manner and
mostly bad.

Ongoing solar, space and geomagnetic weather goings on also impact HF radio
wave propagation conditions in a negative manner.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solar Space & Geomagnetic Weather Conditions On

Sunday February 26, 2017-

Solar activity was moderate.

Earth's magnetic field was quiet.

The three daily solar flux index (SFI) numbers were 78.9 79.0 79.6.

The official daily sunspot number (SSN) was 35.

Sunspot group #12637 was located near S05W30 with a simple alpha magnetic
signature.

Sunspot group #12638 was located near N16W14 with a simple
alpha magnetic signature.

Sunspot group #12639 was located near S08W60 with a simple beta magnetic
signature.

Sunspot group #12640 was located near N09E26 with a simple beta magnetic
signature.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2017 there were 11 days with a daily sunspot number (SSN) of 0.
Considering that solar minimum won't occur for approximately three more
years, +/- one year, seeing daily SSN's of 0 occurring now is unusually
early.

In 2016 there were 32 days with a daily sunspot number (SSN) of 0.
Considering that solar minimum won't occur for approximately three more
years, seeing daily SSN's of 0 occurring now is unusually early.

As we move forward towards the next solar minimum between solar cycle #24
and #25 the number of days with a 0 daily SSN will steadily increase.
Eventually every day for many many many months will see a 0, the big goose
egg.

In 2008 I fore casted solar cycle 24 to be the weakest in the past 100 years
and that forecast verified. I also fore casted that solar cycle 25 would be
virtually non existent, similar to the Dalton type solar minimum that
occurred in the early 1800's. It will probably be very difficult to
determine when solar cycle 24 ended and solar cycle 25 began.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No earth directed coronal mass ejections (CME) occurred.

No earth directed collapsing magnetic filament eruptions occurred.

The twenty four hour period three hour interval planetary K index (Kp) was
at quiet geomagnetic conditions of 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0.

The Kp geomagnetic indices are-
0-2- quiet
3- unsettled
4- active
5- minor geomagnetic storming
6- moderate
7- strong
8- severe
9- extreme
10- our atmosphere just got cooked off like on Mars and we are all dead.

The maximum and minimum planetary A index (Ap) ranged between 3 and 0, which
was at quiet geomagnetic conditions.

The Ap geomagnetic indices are-
0-7- quiet
8-15 unsettled
16-29- active
30-49- minor geomagnetic storm
50-99- major
100-400- severe
>401- our atmosphere just got cooked off like on Mars and we are all dead.

The daily averaged background x-ray flux was A6.7.

The daily averaged vertical component (Bz) of earth's magnetic field
was -3.9 nT south.

The maximum and minimum Dst ranged between +6 and -18.

No energetic proton events greater than 10 MeV (10+0) occurred.

The maximum and minimum solar wind speed was 469 and 348. km/s.

There was a recurrent trans equatorial earth facing coronal hole #792
(#788).

During it's previous passage across the earth facing side of the sun it
produced minor (Kp-5) negative impacts on HF radio wave propagation.

And it has done the same this time around.

There was a newly emerged trans equatorial earth earth facing coronal hole
#793.

GENERAL GUIDELINES CONCERNING CORRELATION OF PROPAGATION INDICES TO ACTUAL
HF PROPAGATION CONDITIONS-

NOTE!!!  The propagation indices "interpretations" are my personal
intellectual property. Therefore the radio wave propagation indices
interpretations contained herein is copyrighted © 1988-2017 by Thomas F.
Giella, W4HM, all rights reserved. Reproduction of information herein is
allowed without permission in advance as long as proper credit is given.

All 14 of the following indices have to occur as described below in order to
see the best global high frequency radio wave propagation possible.
Something that happens rarely.

1.) Dropping geomagnetic field indices numbers are better, Kp of 0 best.

2.) A daily sunspot number of 150 or higher, 200 or higher best.

3.) A daily sunspot number of greater than 100 for routine stable formation
of the E Valley/F Layer ducting mechanism.

4.) Previous 24 hour Ap index under 10, fewer than 7 for several days
consecutively are best.

5.) Previous 3 hours Kp index fewer than 3 for mid latitude paths, fewer
than 2 for high latitude paths, 0 for several days consecutively is best.

6.) Energetic protons no greater than 10 MeV (10+0).

7.) Background x-ray flux levels greater than B1 for several days
consecutively, greater than C1 best.

8.) No current STRATWARM alert.

9.) Interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) Bz with a (positive number) sign,
indicates a lesser chance of high latitude path aurora
absorption/unpredictable refraction or scattering of medium frequency RF
signals, when the Kp is above 3.

10.) A -10 or better towards a positive number Dst index during the recovery
time after a geomagnetic storm, as related to the equatorial ring current. A
positive number is best.

11.) Rising positive T index number. The T Index tracks with the F2 layer
critical frequency (foF2) and sunspot number (SSN) and indicates the
capability of the F2 layer to refract RF signals.

12.) Galactic cosmic rays decrease to -3 units below zero and trending
towards zero.

13.) Energetic electron flux levels no greater than 2 MeV (2+0).

14. A solar wind speed of less than 300 km/s for several days consecutively.
