Propagation de K7RA

29 June, 2019
A new sunspot group emerged on June 24, but don't count on it persisting much longer. It emerged already far along the western limb, and is about to rotate off the visible solar disc. Sunspot numbers on June 24-27 were 24, 12, 11 and 11.
Average daily sunspot number increased from 0 to 6.7 over the week of June 20-26, while average daily solar flux increased from 67.1 to 67.4.
Average daily planetary A index decreased from 5.3 to 5, and average daily middle latitude A index decreased from 7 to 5.7.
Predicted solar flux is 67 on June 28 through July 5, 68 on July 6, 69 on July 7-9, 68 on July 10-11, 67 on July 12-27, 68 on July 28, 69 on July 29-31, 68 on August 1-2, 69 on August 3-5, 68 on August 6-7, and 67 on August 8-11.

You can see daily updates of these predictions, usually sometime after 2100 UTC at, ftp://ftp.swpc.noaa.gov/pub/forecasts/45DF/ .
Geomagnetic activity forecast for June 28 until July 24, 2019 from F.K. Janda, OK1HH, who has been compiling this weekly geomagnetic forecast since January 1978.

"Geomagnetic field will be:
"Quiet on June 28, 30, July 9, 14-16, 21 Quiet to unsettled on June 29, July 3, 8, 10-11, 13, 17, 20 Quiet to active on June July 1 (- 2), 4-6, 12, 18, 24 Unsettled to active on July 7, 19, 22-23 No disturbed conditions predicted.
"Solar wind will intensify on June (28,) July 5-7, (8-9,) 10-11, (17-19, 22-24)
"Parenthesis means lower probability of activity enhancement."
On Tuesday, June 25, NN4X reported from Florida:
"Amazing over-the-pole conditions on 17M this morning (6/25/2019).
"Decoded dozens of JAs on FT8 between 1200Z and 1245Z and worked a few. UA0BA (NP49) was logged at 1512Z, worked HS0ZIV at 1519Z, and was called by BH4QYX immediately afterwards, but did not complete that QSO."

French DX Contest

This contest is dedicated to French National Bastille Day 14 of July.
Work as many operators from France and French overseas departments and territories on all continents as possible for multipliers and also with operators from all over the world (including France and French overseas departments and territories) for points.
Full info here: http://hs4.hamsphere.com/
I hope to meet you during the French contest 2019.
73 de FØDUW Frank

in Paris France
My blog: https://hamspheref0duw.blogspot.com/
Every participant can work all stations all over the world. Repeated QSOs with the same operator are valid on every new band. For every valid confirmed QSO you will receive points depending on distance between you and operator which you have worked. Multipliers will be every new French and French overseas territories operator once during all contest. List of territories which are valid for multipliers is shown below in the Multipliers section. Final result will be calculated as points for every valid confirmed QSO multiplied by a number of worked French and French overseas territories stations. QSL exchange is needed. Note, that only confirmed QSOs will be valid. Do not forget about the 15 minutes rule. 15 minutes must have passed before you can contact the same op on a different band.
Scores calculation: Total points for QSOs distances multiply by (Total numbers of worked French and French overseas territories operators+1)
+1 is for cases, if operator did not work with any operator from France or French overseas territories.

Multipliers:
Every new operator from France and French overseas territories ONE TIME during the contest.

NEW IOTA GROUPS ---> "Following the decision to split the 5 yearly review of
the IOTA list into  two parts",  IOTA General Manager  Roger Balister, G3KMA
wrote on 22 June, "we announced the first tranche of six new IOTA groups  at
the RSGB Convention, Milton Keynes on 14 October 2018 [see 425DXN 1433, Ed].
The plan mentioned at the time was to add th e second tranche  at  Ham Radio
Friedrichshafen in June 2019. At the event's IOTA Forum on Saturday, 22 June
this took place with the announcement of a further six new groups":
AS-206  JA0, 1, 2, 7 Honshu's Coastal Islands East (Japan)
AS-207  R0K          Chukchi Sea Coast Centre group, Chukotskiy Avtonomnyy
                     Okrug (Asiatic Russia)
OC-298  FO           Tatakoto Atoll, Tuamotu Islands (French Polynesia)
OC-299  V6           Yap East group, State of Yap (Micronesia)
OC-300  T31          McKean and Nikumaroro Atolls, Phoenix Islands (Central
                     Kiribati)
SA-101  CE0          Alejandro Selkirk Island, Juan Fernandez Archipelago
See https://iota-world.org/info/new_groups_2019.pdf for the full list.
"The review has now completed its work; the next one is scheduled for  2024.
These new groups have provisional numbers. This means that they will need to
be confirmed by an operation taking place after  22 June 2019 that meets the
1000 QSO and  other normal validation requirements.  Only after confirmation
of the group number will credit for past operations be considered.
The addition  of  these  six groups  takes  the total of  groups  that  have
confirmed or  provisional  IOTA numbers  to  1172.  Of these 1131  have seen
activity, the remaining 41 have not. The number of unnumbered groups remains
at 33. A number of these will be withdrawn in due course to keep  within the
programme cap of 1200 groups set long ago by the  Management Team  as a firm
policy decision".

VP8/VP8DXU ---> The  project  planning  for  the  2020  South Orkney Islands
DXpedition [425DXN 1465] continues on schedule, other companies  have joined
the corporate sponsors team, the  "tent assembly project"  is scheduled  for
12-15 July, 80m SSB has been added to the operating plan and the fundraising
campaign continues: "the next payment to 'Braveheart' is due in July and our
shipping  budget of USD 25,000  is tracking close to plan",  the  VP8/VP8DXU
team reported on 27 June. "As of this writing, 30 clubs/foundations and  236
individuals have shown their support to the project.  We have a long way  to
go in order to reach the goal of  50% team member funding  of the  estimated
project cost of USD 325,000. If you need South Orkney  for an ATNO,  or plan
to work us, we would appreciate your help, expenses  must be paid before  we
sail".  Please visit https://sorkney.com/  and consider making  a  donation.
