Glenn Hauser logs October 30-31-November 1-2, 2019

** BRAZIL. 10000, Nov 1 at 0651, WWV and WWVH are equally weak, allowing one to detect, especially during their atonal minutes, exactly synchronized time pips every dekaseond, with continuous talk in between. Can`t read the language announcements but format must be PPE, Observatório Nacional, Rio, which may have been off for a while, but recently reported at other hours by Manuel Méndez, Spain, and Harold Frodge, Michigan. The 0652 minute marred by WWVH announcement about hearing them via an 808 phone number --- but could that be anywhere nearly as accurate as direct via SW? It`s not unusual for WWV/H not to be propagating well inside North America, so keep an ear out for PPE, WRTH-listed as 1 kW, 24 hours on AM+USB. Little heard now inside 31m SWBC but the Brazilians on 9630v, 9665v and maybe 9819v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2006, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9640, Oct 30 at 2219, RHC Spanish here but only poor, despite shift to 9630 yesterday. 2326 recheck, 9640 is quite undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC. That clears 9630.389 for always-off-frequency R. Aparecida, BRASIL in Brazuguese at 2220 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2006, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11980, Oct 30 at 2327, CRI relay is S6 but dead air as second harmonic of 5990 which is S9+10, occasional trace of modulation trying to break in. Wiggle that patchcord. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Oct 31 at 0622, RHC English is off; leaving 6100 S9+10 but JBM, while this time 6165 is S9+20 with sufficient modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12000, Nov 1 at 1334, RHC is S5 here on second harmonic of 6000, which is S9+10; almost as if intentionally harmonicizing; at least both of these happen to be in-band. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Nov 1 at 2159, RHC is JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9640, Nov 1 at 2208, RHC seems AWOL tho there is a JBA carrier from algo, listed CRI Spanish via EAST TURKISTAN, land of brainwashing Uighurs; and not on 9630 either, but usual poor signal on 9535. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 7335, Oct 31 at 0618, heavy noise jamming against nothing, since Radio Martí is not on this frequency anywhen in B-19. 7365 likewise, despite with RM for only one hour, 01-02. 7435 *is* active now, VG despite some pulse jamming now audible underneath. Something`s always wrong at the DentroCuban Jamming Command.

5980, Oct 31 at 0624, RM now starts here at 0600, VG S9+10 and no jamming audible yet/now, relating Human Rights to warning about the Chikungunya virus in Cuba (which has also reached Florida). 5980 is now much better than 6030 with heavy jamming. Something`s always wrong at the DCJC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 6165, Oct 31 at 1421, JBA carrier, presumably NHK 1400 English, 100 kW SSE from UZBEKISTAN; only other frequency is 11925, registered both as Palau due west and UAE due east. Palau is supposedly closing down, at least for WHR`s own programming, but still a JBA carrier here with flutter, very slightly on the minus side, which implies UAE rather than Palau. Gone are the days when North Americans had a chance of hearing NHK English tnx to Palau, despite Radio Japan`s blowing off its NAm SW audience years ago.

11925 rechecked November 1 at 1336, when also registered from both sites for the half-sesquihour NHK Indonesian before English, still JBA carrier with flutter, but measured this time: 11924.988, vs heavy splash from 11930 OCB Grimesland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2006, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** KOREA SOUTH. 3905, 3930, 3980, 4450, 4885, 6520, 6595, 9100, Nov 1 at 1324-1326, quick survey of some of the Voice of People/Echo of Hope jumparound frequencies finds JBA carriers, and/or in some cases jamming noise. Also something on 3990-, probably PBS Gannan; and 4557, N Korean jamming against nothing per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11540, Nov 1 at 1339, JBA talk the only signal in the Kurdo-Turco sub-band, so presumably Dengê Welat and/or Radio Recep Erdogan.

Note this report of their higher frequency: ``Both stations were also heard on 15175 - difficult to separate - at 1045 past 1100 UT today  the 1st of November at good strength. Noel R. Green [NW England]`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see TURKEY

** MEXICO. 6185, Oct 31 at 0621, S9-S7 of open carrier; presumably XEPPM still not turned off after nominal closing at 0600 instead of 0500 during DST, already over in most of Mexico. Prolonged carriers post-sign-off are not unusual from them.

What CCI must Radio Educación listeners confront in B-19? Worst will be AWR Turkish via Austria at 0400-0430. During our daytimes, when XEPPM may be on but too weak anyway, there is heavy 6185 usage by Vatican and some by Turkey, China/Albania including 2300-2400 Xian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Nov 1 at 0654, RNZI music is S7-S5, hardly anything else on 25m except maybe some ZY carriers; now scheduled 0559-0758, preceded by 15720, proceeded by 9765 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1580, Nov 1 at 2158 UT, KOKB Blackwell is back on with ad for Charlie`s Discount Drug in Stillwater, much weaker than // 1020 KOKP, seems underpowered. It was not on by sunrise today when KQFN AZ came thru on 1580, see U S A (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PALAU. 15675, Oct 31 at 0001, no signal from T8WH, altho in HFCC B-19 as HBN, 00-06 daily, due west in English/Vietnamese (and same 06-11 on 15680). What service could that be? Checking these highest listed frequencies of T8WH, since the World Harvest Radio website says as of Oct 27, WHR broadcasts only from South Carolina. 

So is Palau totally off the air including relays? No, on Nov 1, several monitors still hear them on frequencies in the 9.9s. All of those are registered as 7 days a week, but likely excessive beyond axual usage. Aoki/NDXC dated Nov 1 has deleted them all:  http://www1.m2.mediacat.ne.jp/binews/us/userlist1.txt The final A-19 schedule still had numerous PLW entries, like 9930: http://www1.s2.starcat.ne.jp/ndxc/pc/ad/userlist1.txt

Beware: WHRI Cypress Creek could easily take over some listed T8WH frequencies, altho coverage into Asia would hardly be comparable:

``I heard WHR at 1200 on 9930. But was it really from Palau? The announcement mentioned Cypress Creek…. [and WHRI] http://jm.aubier.pagesperso-orange.fr/t8wh3.mp3

Jean-Michel Aubier, France``

I`ve been told that the Palau site is for sale. If so, maybe USAGM will buy it, as they have a history of acquiring failed private American stations in the Pacific; but then, SW is going out of style (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2006, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also JAPAN [non]

** SAUDI ARABIA. 9675, Oct 31 at 1808, continuous talk VP S4-S6, listed as Turkish from SRI/SBA. Not much else from over there on this band at this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 7425, Nov 1 at 2210, Qur`an poor S6-S8. Aoki says it`s Riyadh now at 1755-2357; HFCC says 1900-2300, 100 kW ND to CIRAF 39S = their own peninsula. Come to think of it, KSA not heard much on this band, or ever before? Currently only two other Riyadhs are in HFCC, 7410 and 7240, and  *none* lower on the 49mb! Jeddah site does have two: 6100 and 6130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Oct 30 at 2326, VOT on air today in English, but poor. When AWOL, look for PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, East Turkistan, off-frequency-minus, in the master-language, Mandarin; might even het Turkey (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15350, Oct 31 at 1347, VOT Turkish with music, S5-S7 and flutter; ouraway until 1357 or so. Meanwhile, 12035, VOT English is about as weak but less fluttery during other music. And 11540, either Jammirler or Dengê Welat, is VP, S4-S5 with flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 12035.023, Nov 1 at 1331, VOT sign-on in English giving correct time and frequency! Poor S4-S7 and only slightly off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [nonish]. 4666-USB, Nov 1 at 1326, barely audible 2-way talk with occasional selcal tones, so aero GTA comms. EiBi lists San Francisco Radio CWP [= central/western Pacific, I guess] but only via two transmitter sites, GUAM and HAWAII. Apparently SFO ATC remote-controls and remote-contacts flights, no axual ATC on those isles? At least not connected to this frequency. SFO has others for closer flights direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11720, Wed Oct 30 at 2100, VOA VG with news, now the sole Grimesland NC frequency during this hour only, aimed 94 degrees but plenty backwards; includes two or three reports from AP --- nothing wrong with AP! But shouldn`t VOA be able to call on its own correspondents everywhere, or are there any left? Leading up to 2102, ``this is VOA News`` -- for the uninformed, that`s an ``optional cutaway`` for affiliates to dump out, for whom only two minutes of news on the hour is plenty! VOA news really continues until 2105 outro by Marissa Melton. She stumbled a bit two or three times. Not that I could do better on a live broadcast (let alone recorded), but one might expect better from America`s Voice to the world. Searching her name at voanews.com gets plenty of stories but no portrait or bio.

2105 ID as ``VOA One, today`s exclusive hits wrapped up in one station``, i.e. rock music, yecch. We anticipate VG reception for a change of `Music Time in Africa` if it still occupy this hour on Fridays only. Did anyone hear it? I was intent on napping then and forgot all about it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2005 monitoring: confirmed Wed Oct 30 from 2100:20 on WBCQ 7490.1v, S8-S9. Like last week starting 20 seconds late (not 30, my typo before), but no problem as nothing is cut off.

Also confirmed UT Thu Oct 31 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, poor and noisy S9-S6.

Confirmed first SWBC, Friday November 1 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, good S9+10/20 (from next week: 2300).

Also confirmed UT Saturday November 2 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, VG S9+10/20 following ID and an attempt to plug advertising on WRMI? Before cut to WOR on time. At 0140 check also on WRMI 5010, poor S5-S9 and 7780 S5-S7. Next: see above, especially whether HLR be reactive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5800, UT Sat Nov 2 at 0140, this WRMI is much stronger than usual, maybe powered up? S9+10/20 --- but dead air! This is the new time for RAE in Spanish which I left out of WOR 2006, just as well? Wonder if has been silent ever since 0100? Other WRMIs after 0140:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330.00, Wed Oct 30 at 2106, WBCQ-6 is on with gospel huxter, no doubt from WLC Radio; only S9-S6 with deep fades so presumably aimed awaywards. You never know whether this will be active or not; recheck at 2220 it`s off (and so is yet to be heard but registered 11730) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6160 & 3265 & 9330, Nov 1 at 2341, no signals from these WBCQs; 5130- poor with music; 7490+ very poor with FKB preaching, looks unpromising for `AAAWWW` in a few minutes, so I semi-listen on webcast, which does not JIP WTO until 0002 Nov 2; starts extolling analog AM broadcasting on MW and SW, referring to an article somewhere; interrupted by call from annoying Freddie, but AW ``lets him go`` earlier than usual. Rest of hour I am distracted by other radio and TV programs. He does mention near the end being on 7490 only again this week. Even less from John Carver, IN, this week:

``Tonight's AAWWW --- I give up. I copied 7490 earlier in the week. Copied 5130 two minutes ago. Copied WRMI a minute ago. I have no signal on any WBCQ frequency except 5130. Radio and antenna seem to be working okay. Next step will take time as it requires removing antenna tuner and pre-selector out of the chain. John`` O well, the ep will probably get some repeats this week or later. 

WWV reports nothing unusual at 00 & 03, K-index 0, solar flux 71, and no storms past or future. Just crummy wintry propagation from the subauroral zone. While it might not be sufficient, the brute force of 500 kW is very much needed for WBCQ`s own programming; too bad some time guaranteed for that was not part of the contract with WLC (except for some tests) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5890, Thu Oct 31 at 0627, WWCR is wasting its watts off-schedule but transmitter running nothing at S9+30/40, eclipsed by modulated 5935 at S9+40/50 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Oct 31 at 1804, no signal from KVOH, presumably due to Simi Valley wildfires and/or resulting power outages (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1560, Nov 1 at 1439 UT and still 1453, Vietnamese dominant or audible vs KEBC OKC? So KGOW Bellaire TX is still propagating 2 hours after official November sunrise of 1245 UT. Axual sunrise today in Houston was 1235 UT, as 1245 is an FCC-rounded average for mid-month. No sign of Vietnamese from sibling station KYND or anything on 1520 besides KOKC, so KYND presumably off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1580, Nov 1 at 1418 UT, mesaforklift.com ad dominant on caradio instead of nearby KOKB Blackwell OK which must be off again; and then an ad for something ``right here in the state of Arizona`` and ID as ``1580 the --something--``. Equilateral triangle with corner dots, it`s the Tempe 50000/95 watt non-direxional station whose latest call is KQFN, and per NRC AM Log ``The Fanatic``. sports format from an address in Scottsdale. Official daytime in November is 1400-2430 UT. It`s been KQFN since 3/16/17, replacing KHEP from 10/20/15, and KMIK which lasted almost 17 years from 12/04/98; but always Facility 7701 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1690, Nov 1 at 2259 UT, biz host signing off with a note of finality saying will continue as podcast; must be KDMT Denver already dominant instead of WVON Chicago, and not yet finished sale and new format, but maybe imminent; fade for ToH ID but think 94.3 mentioned; not correlating with either nor any other 1690 in NRC AM Log. Of course I`m really looking for BR-LA pirate now on 1690, Radio Retén lo que Tienes. Why not stay on clearer-channel 1710? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15632.4-USB, Nov 1 at 2203, 2-way in colloquial Spanish INTRUDERS since the ITU broadcast band extends to 15800 --- https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/terrestrial/broadcast/Pages/Bands.aspx so WTWW, WWCR and any broadcaster above 15800 are also intruders, into the fixed band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Europe 1 "strange" test

I inform you that friday 1 november from 8:00 utc europe 1 and absent on 183 khz can not currently listen Europe 1

So I contacted Anne Fauconnier in charge of the operation of Europe 1 transmitters

Anne.Fauconnier@europe1.fr

"" We are currently testing our long wave transmitter ""

In short, the test consists of measuring the reactions of the listeners.

To see if the listener is still listening to the 183 khz in order to possibly perform a drop in power, or more simply, delete this program.

Feel free to send him an email if you listen to 183 khz for this program to be maintained ...

The K7RA Solar Update

There are still no sunspots, but average daily solar flux rose this week from 65.3 to 68.5. Yet there have been surprising reports of HF stations heard and worked over long distances. However, the second-hand report in last week’s bulletin about a local station in my area working Belarus and Lithuania on 10 meters in the middle of the night turned out to be a misunderstanding, and I am sorry I reported it.

On Friday and Saturday, a coronal hole let loose a solar wind stream causing geomagnetic instability, and the average daily planetary A index for the week rose from 4.7 last week to 16.4.

Predicted solar flux has increased recently, with values of 70 on November 1-8, 66 on November 9-23, 70 on November 24 through December 6, and 69 on December 7-15.

Predicted planetary A index is 8 on November 1, 5 on November 2-4, 8, 10 and 8 on November 5-7, 5 on November 8-16, then 15, 8 and 5 on November 17-19, then 20 and 24 on November 20-21, 15 on November 22-23, 12 on November 24, 5 and 15 on November 25-26, 12 on November 27-28, and 5 on November 29 through December 15.

This weekend is the ARRL CW Sweepstakes contest, and conditions look favorable with a rising solar flux (it was 71.2 on Thursday) and moderate geomagnetic conditions.

OK1HH sent us his geomagnetic activity forecast for the period November 1-26, 2019.

Geomagnetic field will be

Quiet on: November 9, 13, 18-19

Quiet to unsettled on: November 1-2, 4-5, 10-11, 15

Quiet to active on: November 3, 8, 12, 14, 16, 25

Unsettled to active on: November 6 (-7), 17, 20, 24, 26

Active to disturbed: November 21-23

Solar wind will intensify on November (6-9,) 13, 21-26, (27-29)

Parenthesis means lower probability of activity enhancement.

Jeff, N8II, in West Virginia reported: “Tuesday through Thursday this week, October 22 through 24, was pretty amazing on 15 meters, especially considering the extremely low solar flux. I think Thursday that was the best when on 15-meter SSB I worked several European Russian stations including R1DA/M and stations in Ukraine, Finland, Norway, and several UK stations including a mobile running 5 watts who was peaking S9! The contacts were between 1345Z and 1420Z.

“On Thursday afternoon around 1800Z, I waited for VP6R on Pitcairn Island to build in strength above the noise on 12-meter CW and heard an OH3 and OH5KW in Finland, both well above the noise off the back of my 2-element Yagi as they worked VP6R! Later, at about 2200Z, there was a huge pile up on VP6R on 10-meter CW. I made it through after about 7-8 minutes.

“The CQ Worldwide SSB contest conditions were not nearly so good, but 15-meters was open all over Africa and to southern Europe with some very loud signals. I worked Crete, Greece, Cyprus, Slovenia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland, Germany (only one), France, Spain, and Portugal and in Africa, Reunion Island, Canary Island, Madeira Island, Morocco, South Africa, Senegal, Gabon, Namibia, and Cape Verde Island. All South American mainland countries were worked except Guyana, and VP6R was in for hours on end.”

N0JK reported on October 27: "The VP6R DXpedition has been audible a couple of days in Kansas on 10 meters, usually at or just above the noise floor. But on October 27 VP6R was very strong, over S-9 at 2050z.

“Starting around 2030Z on October 27, VP6R had a strong opening across much of North America on 10 meters. VP6R was much louder than the scattered South America and Central America stations popping in on afternoon TEP. Signals seemed to peak in Kansas between 2045 – 2110Z. VP6R was running the table, a golden opportunity for anyone who needed Pitcairn on 10 meters.

“Then VP6R started dropped into the noise around 2110Z. KF0M in Wichita worked them near the end of the opening. During the peak, I worked a loud KY7M in Arizona on Es, and heard W2HZ Tucson, Arizona (both sides of contact) work VP6R.  Sporadic E was present on 10 meters. While Arizona is a little west of the Great Circle path to Pitcairn Island, I suspect that the strong October 27 opening was an Es link to TEP. That can explain the loud signals and how the opening turned on and off "like a switch." Was 6 meters open to Pitcairn from North America? Maybe. Es links to TEP took place on 6 meters October 17 from the Central US to South America. The only spot I noted during this period on 6 meters was a FT8 local contact between AC2PB and a N3."

Mike May, WB8VLC, of Salem, Oregon wrote: "There were weird conditions on the HF bands. The solar flux was so low, yet DX was still present.

“I am rethinking my HF operation vs low solar numbers after this month’s 10 meter and other from my ‘black hole’ location in Northwest Oregon with low-height small antennas and low to moderate power. None of this was a hindrance!

“Most signals have been very readable with minimal fading, low noise and no real struggle to make contacts. On 10 meters I use a short-boom 4-element homebrew Yagi antenna at 30 feet and 300 watts.

On 12, 15, 17 and 20 meters I am using homebrew antennas at just 22 feet on a single push-up mast and running 300-400 watts.

“I put up a Moxon beam antenna for 12-20 meters, so there are no fancy multiband Yagis used here in my postage stamp city lot.

“On the lower HF  bands, I use vertical antennas for 30-40 meters and inverted Ls for 60 and 80 meters with just 16 radials and just 50 watts on these four bands, but I still make plenty of contacts.

“Here is just a sample of the HF DX operation from September to October and I'm mainly a weekend operator. (Long lists of stations were edited out here—Ed.)

On 12 to 60 meters I have worked Tokelau on CW, SSB, and FT8 on 10 through 30 meters, Pitcairn Island on CW and SSB, Liberia on 17-meter SSB and FT8, Nauru on 20- and 17-meter CW, SSB, and FT8, and many others.

“The 60- and 80-meter contacts I’ve made were the first time since I was licensed in 1975 that I was ever on those bands.

“On 10-meter SSB, on every weekend, there are a good deal of SSB contacts to be made from my location to South America.

“So, despite the low solar indices, it is still contacts galore. I don't know what to think about the correlation, but I'm not complaining.”

Griff, NE3I, reported on October 26: "Conditions on 75 and 40 at the beginning of the CQ World Wide SSB Contest are the worst I have experienced in over 50 years as a radio amateur. With the exception of some Canadians on 75 meters, all signals received here in Eastern Pennsylvania, even US stations, are weak and difficult to intelligibly discern with fading and S9 noise levels across the entire 75 and 40-meter bands."

This is from John Boudreau, VE8EV, in Inuvik, Northwest Territories. Inuvik is way up there, north of 68 degrees north latitude. “When I read about the record-setting low solar flux in last week's report I recalled that the last time I checked in with you was March 2014 at the peak of Cycle 24.

“Back then, from our high-latitude location directly under the auroral oval, we were experiencing amazing propagation on the upper bands. Now, exactly 5-1/2 years later and with a (mostly) quiet sun, it is the lower band's turn.

“Last winter I took advantage of the quieter conditions to finish off 80meters for my 5-Band DXCC award and just recently I've managed to work 14 new countries on 160 meters, mostly on the extremely difficult polar path which, from here, includes everywhere in the eastern hemisphere.

“Whichever part of the solar cycle we are at, though, there is no escaping the effects of a disturbed geomagnetic field right over our heads. Last weekend during the G2-Level geomagnetic storm caused by a recurring solar coronal hole, I turned on my radio around 0400Z on Saturday night. Even with the CQ Worldwide contest going on, I could hear only two stations (a KH6 and a KL7) coming through on any of the bands. This can sure be a tough place to play radio!”

T8WH Palau closed

As of 10/27/19, World Harvest Radio will only be transmitting from WHRI out of South Carolina. More updates coming soon on familybroadcastingcorporation.com/whr.

Shortwave radio is one of the most powerful tools the Body of Christ has to proclaim the Gospel Message to the almost 7 billion people in the world. Shortwave radio can cross borders closed to missionaries and reach into the homes of people who desire a broader source of information that they cannot receive in any other format. This essential form of ministry brings teaching, inspiration, music and discipleship to people in desperate need.

World Harvest Radio's six transmitters ensure that Gospel programming reaches every major continent.

Propagation News – 3 November 2019

Last week offered a mixed bag of HF propagation. The weekend saw the aftermath of a geomagnetic storm, triggered by matter from a solar coronal hole. This pushed the Kp index up to six and sparked auroras at the North and South poles. The disturbance eventually settled by Wednesday, after a few days of the Kp index hitting three. This didn’t stop top DXers working VP6R, the DXpedition on Pitcairn Island in the Pacific. A variety of modes were used to put the call sign in people’s logs, with the FT8 Fox and Hounds mode proving popular.

Next week we may see more of the same as the Sun continues to present zero sunspots. Geomagnetic conditions are a little harder to predict as a weak coronal hole stream is currently moving past Earth. Visible aurora will be likely at very high latitudes.

The US Air Force predicts the Ap index—and note, that’s not the Kp index—will remain at about five, with an increase to 10 on the sixth. This equates to a Kp index maximum of two, which suggests more settled conditions from this weekend onwards.

Daytime critical frequencies are struggling to get much above 6.3MHz at the moment, which translates to a maximum useable frequency over 3,000km of up to around 21MHz, and occasionally higher. There have even been reports of 28MHz openings. Night-time critical frequencies are currently around 3.25MHz, which doesn’t bode well for NVIS contacts around the UK on 80 metres. But longer distance contacts into Europe and further afield should still be possible at night.

VHF and up:

The atmospheric forecast models are very good at predicting the general weather type out to some considerable time ahead. They seem to be in broad agreement about the coming period of weather being dominated by areas of low pressure and bands of rain or showers. This once again means that rain scatter will probably be the main weather-related propagation mode for next week.

High pressure is not really a candidate for tropo propagation modes next week and, since we are way past the main sporadic E season, the list scrolls down to the odd chance aurora and meteor scatter event. These are very hard to predict, other than recommending that you should be aware of any meteor showers and watch the various propagation bulletins that show the state of the solar wind and geomagnetic index.

Moon declination is increasing again from this Sunday, going positive this coming Saturday, meaning Moon windows will lengthen. The Moon is at apogee on Thursday so losses will be at their highest this week. 144MHz sky temperature reaches a minimum on Thursday.

There are no major meteor showers this week, but the big Leonids shower is just two weeks away, so get ready!

Shortwave Radiogram, 31 October-3 November 2019

I just realized that the first transmission of Shortwave Radiogram, today (Thursday) at 2330-2400 UTC, will compete with Halloween. Be careful out there, especially in eastern North America, where storms are expected. Time changes continue this weekend. Many clocks are turning back one hour -- despite what I wrote in last week's email. The European time change is complete,and the North American time change begins Sunday of this weekend. The schedules on the WRMI frequencies used by WRMI will stay with UTC. As of 3 November, WINB on 9265 will (I think) stay with local Eastern time, but the DRM will change to 13690 kHz  and  (I think) stay with UTC. This weekend's show is in the usual MFSK32 and MFSK64   .

Also look for a waterfall ID at the beginning of the show. thisisamusicshow@gmail.com . www.instagram.com/thisisamusicshow/ www.twitter.com/ThisIsAMusicSho/ @ThisIsAMusicSho New York and Pennsylvania NBEMS nets. Most weekends, as KD9XB, I check in to the New York NBEMS (Narrow Band Emergency Messaging Software) net Saturday at 1200 UTC on 3584 kHz USB, and the Pennsylvania NBEMS net Sunday at 1300 UTC on 3583 kHz USB (with out-of-state check-ins now starting at 1230 UTC). Check-ins are usually in Thor 22, and messages are in MFSK32 (PA NBEMS is experimenting with Thor 50x1 for messages). Messages generally use the Flmsg add-on to Fldigi. If you are a radio amateur in eastern North America, feel free to check in. Outside the region, use an SDR in the eastern USA to tune in and decode. You do not need Flmsg to check in, and most of the messages can be read without Flmsg. If you can decode the net, send me an email to radiogram@verizon.net , or tweet to @SWRadiogram , and I will let them know you are tuned in. USEast NBEMS Net: Please also note the USEast NBEMS Net, Wednesdays at 2300 UTC (7 pm EDT) on 3536 kHz USB. Thanks for your reception reports!
