Short Term Propagation Forecast for Next Carrington Rotation, By Arnie
Coro CO2KK. Expect solar flux to peak above 200 again during the next
rotation, BUT DON'T expect so many openings as during the period Nov 18
to Dec 3... Want to know why ? Because the altitude above the Earth of
the daytime F2 layer over the Northern Hemisphere will be HIGHER during
the period Dec 15 to Dec 30... This will make the free electron con-
centration per cubic millimeter LOWER to start with, and so, we will
require a much higher UV radiation to impact the ionosphere in order
to produce the same Maximum Useable Frequencies that we saw between
Nov 18 and December 3 (actually it extended to December 4 and 5) One
interesting thing that may happen is the coincidence of the winter
solstice sporadic E season with F2 openings which may lead to some very
interesting contacts via LINKED MODES OF 50 mHz PROPAGATION 73 and DX
to all Keep monitoring the TV video, watching the MUF rise from 30 to
50 MHz and PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN ONLY... PLEASE CALL CQ OFTEN IF WE ALL
LISTEN ..... NO QSO's will ever take place. Arnie Coro CO2KK.
Nauru C2: I hope to commence 50MHz monitoring/transmissions around 2030
10th Dec 2000 as C21JH (RI-39). IC-736 (100w) to 5 element at 45 feet.
28.885MHz will be utilised where required. QSLing will be conducted from
mid Jan 2001. More information ? Then please visit:

We are pleased to have several new sponsors who all help to make the
expedition possible. Full details of all sponsorship appears on the
D68C Web site. Further sponsorship is sought, especially from DX groups
and foundations, to help with the high cost of shipping some 3 tonnes
of equipment to D68, along with a number of other logistical matters.
Sponsorship is being co-ordinated by the following: US: Wes W3WL

New Zealand, ZL. Tim, ZL3VTV/ZL1 writes; Hi, Just a note to let you
know, the old Auckland 6m beacon, ZL1UHF, on 51.020 MHz has never been
put back on air, and it never will on that frequency. We have re-cry-
stalled the transmitter, and it is now ZL1VHF, and it operates on
50.043 MHz, from Whitford, about 30km South East of Auckland city,
220m ASL. It is running about 10 Watts into a half wave vertical an-
tenna. The beacon went on air Saturday, December 2, 2000, about 19:00
local time. I will try to get the appropriate grid square locator for
you at some time soon. 73, de Tim, ZL3VTV/ZL1, RF73KD.
New Zealand, ZL. Kim OZ5IQ QSP an other letter from Tim; We now have
our beacon on the air, from its new site, and thus far, it seems to be
operating well. ZL1VHF is on air from the Whitford site, approx 30 km
SW from Auckland city, about 220m ASL, and has good veiws from the
south, through the west round to the east. (270). The frequency it is
on is slightly low at present, but the will be put right this weekend
if everything goes well, it is currently operating on 50.0417 MHz, and
will be retuned to operate on 50.043 MHz, which is the frequency allo-
cated for it. It is sending out the identification ZL1VHF 6M WHITFORD,
and uses an A0 type of emission. Please spread the work among the DX
community, so that everyone can know where to look out for us. Any
reports would be very welcome, either by email, to tmoore@clear.net.nz
or by phone, to +64 21 273 2429. All the best DX on 6m, 73, de Tim,
ZL3VTV/ZL1. RF73KD.

for everyone. My Palestine 6m operation was recognized in DXCC. I ap-
preciate the fair judgment of DXCC. 73 Hide, JM1LJS Hi Mr Kai: I apo-
logize for waiting so long to respond as it took a while to discuss
this. At this time we see no reason not to accept your operation on 6
meters for DXCC credit. 73 Bill Moore NC1L DXCC Manager
