Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
26 August - 01 September 2019

Solar activity was at very low levels. New Region 2748 (N14, L=205,
class/area Bxo/010 on 01 Sep) emerged on the disk, but remained
quiet and stable. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
moderate levels on 26 Aug, normal levels on 27-30 Aug, high levels
on 31 Aug and very high levels on 01 Sep. Electron flux reached a
maximum of 53,007 pfu at 01/2015 UTC.

Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to unsettled levels on
26-27 Aug due to influence from a weak, negative polarity CH HSS.
Quiet conditions persisted from late on 27 Aug through midday on 30
Aug. From midday on 30 Aug through 01 Sep, field activity increased
to unsettled to G1 (minor) and G2 (moderate) levels as Earth came
under the influence of a large, recurrent positive polarity CH HSS.
30 Aug saw a SSBC from a negative to a positive sector in advance of
a CIR, all preceding the CH HSS. 31 Aug and 01 Sep observed active
to G1 and G2 storm conditions. Wind speeds averaged about 750 km/s
during this time frame with a peak of 835 km/s observed early on 01
Sep.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
02 September - 28 September 2019

Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at high to very high levels on 02-13 Sep and again on
27-28 Sep. Normal to moderate levels are expected on 14-26 Sep.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at G1 (minor) storm
levels on 02 Sep and G1 (minor) to G2 (moderate) storm levels on
27-28 Sep due to positive polarity CH HSS influence. Unsettled
levels are expected on 03, 07-08, 23, and 26 Sep due to recurrent CH
HSS effects.

438 listener report sfor June 30 Alexanderson Day

Alexanderson Alternator station SAQ says it received 438 listener reports — 'an incredible amount' — for its June 30 Alexanderson Day transmissions from Sweden including 8 'super' DX reports, five from the USA and three from Canada.

The historic electro-mechanical transmitter, which dates back to the 1920s, is fired up periodically throughout the year on 17.2 kHz.

“We are very thankful for all your enthusiastic and positive feedback, with images, recordings, videos, and even Morse ink writer strips,” SAQ said.

The station is a World Heritage Site in Grimeton, Sweden and SAQ’s June 30 message commemorated the 100th anniversary of the first east-to-west transatlantic voice transmission from the Marconi station in Ireland to Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.

SAQ has posted an interactive map showing the locations of all received listener reports from recent transmissions and video of the Alexanderson Day transmission event has been posted to its YouTube channel. (southgatearc.org)

FRS-Holland celebrates its 39th Anniversary

Following our Summer evening broadcast late July, FRS-Holland will carry out its traditional late August Summer evening broadcast next Sunday September 1st.  

It will be the celebration of our 39th anniversary knowing FRS officially started its broadcasting life on Sunday August 31st 1980. In the past years various interesting themes were presented in our August broadcast: Made in Holland, progressive rock from Dutch bands, the 1967 Summer, Music & Radio Stories, music related to the 'Sea' topic, RNI Musical Memories etc. Also this time we offer a varied & interesting thematic programme offer! Just see for yourself and have a look at our schedule below....

Next Sunday FRS commences transmission at 17:52 UTC / 19:52 CEST; close down will be at approx. 21:05 UTC / 23:05 CEST. 

We realize that close down is late but we feel this is the best option.
