Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 17 - 23 September 2012

Solar activity reached low levels this week. C-class x-ray flares were observed on 17-20 and 23 September. The largest, a C2/Sf, was recorded from Region 1576 (S21, L=180, class/area Dso/70 on 20 September) at 19/1512 UTC. The remainder included a C2 flare from Region 1575 (N08, L=181, class/area Eko/320 on 22 September) at 17/1406 UTC, a C1 at 18/1009Z, and a C1 from Region 1574 (S22, L=302, class/area Cao/40 on 20 September) at 20/1139 UTC, and a long-duration C1 from beyond the east limb at 23/1556 UTC. The long-duration C-flare was associated with a vivid CME in LASCO C2 imagery. Estimated plane-of-sky speed was around 600 km/s.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached moderate levels each day of the week except the 20th when it remained at background levels.

The geomagnetic field ranged from quiet to active levels during the week, with minor storm levels observed at high latitudes on all but the first and last days. The week began with the geomagnetic field at quiet to unsettled levels. Geomagnetic field activity increased to active levels late on the 19th when a corotating interaction region (CIR) became geoeffective. A coronal hole high speed stream
followed on the 20th bringing mostly quiet to unsettled conditions. Between the 19th and the 20th, the solar sector changed from positive to negative, consistent with the geoeffective coronal hole
polarity. Solar wind speed at the ACE spacecraft fluctuated between 600 and 400 km/s between the 20th and 21st, before beginning a slow decline late on the 21st. Solar wind speed by the end of the week had dropped to about 350 km/s. The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field reached its maximum of approximately -11 nT late on the 19th with the arrival of the CIR.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 24 September - 20 October 2012

Solar activity is expected to be at low levels with an increasing chance for moderate activity during the first two weeks of the period as active regions rotate onto the visible disk.

A slight chance for a proton event exists due to potential activity associated with returning regions from 24 September through 08 October.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be at high levels on 8-9 October and again on 17-18 October.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to remain mostly at quiet to unsettled levels except for 3-5 October, 09-10 October, and 16-17 October when recurrent coronal hole high speed streams are expected to bring a chance for active levels.

Monitoring Radio Hargeisa on shortwave

Somalia (Somaliland)

Radio Hargeisa confirms what we already knew ... it has been off the air for more than a week. The station's director, Mr.Suleiman says it is a transition from the testing phase to regular operations. He does not say whether or not it will return on 7120 kHz or another frequency, but does indicate that transmissions will resume on shortwave this coming week.

http://somalilandsun.com/index.php/politics/government/1421-somaliland-radio-hargeisa-worldwide-transmission-updates
(Gupta and Jensen, Sept 9; dswci DXW Sept 19)
Signal on 7120 kHz. Carrier came on just seconds before 0330 UT. Initially no modulation but slowly it built up, very weak at first with man talking heard very weakly. At 0434 UT, with the beginning of HoA (Horn of Africa) musical programming noted with full modulation.

Sept 19 morning transmission was not nearly as good here in Wisconsin as that of Sept 18 when it was quite strong at 0350 UT tune in. ID in Somali mentioning Hargeisa and Somaliland noted on Sept 18, but no ID heard on Sept 19, but surely the same station.

Currently, and in the immediate past, Radio Hargaysa's MW outlet has/had twice daily English half hours, including 0430 UT. Original plans called for simply airing that English period on the SW frequency, which is really a bit too late for optimum US reception. I have recommended an 0300 UT
s/on (6 a.m. Somaliland local time) rather than 0330 UT, suggesting  English at 0330 UT, rather than 0430 UT. I'd also recommended a new frequency above the ham band. The latter recommendation has been ignored. I suspect the former recommendation also will be ignored, at least in the short run.
(Don Jensen-WI-USA, DXplorer Sept 19)
7120 Radio Hargeisa/Hargaysa, at 1504-1528 UT on Sept 19. Thanks to Sei-ichi Hasegawa (Japan) for providing today's additional info: carrier on at 1455 UT and HOA music started at 1501 UT. I tuned in to a fair signal with non-stop HOA music; finally at 1527 UT had the only ID heard. They are broadcasting now during their local morning and evening. (Ron Howard-CA-USA, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Sept 19)
7120 Radio Hargeysa, at 0327-0433 UT on Sept 21. Big open carrier at 0327 UT, with abrupt start of HoA music at 0339 UT. OM announcement at 0344 with several "Radio Hargeysa" IDs. Programming was all HoA vocals, typically two songs, followed by announcements. Announcements from the male DJ heard at 0344, 0355, 0404, 0413, 0416 UT. Each of these announcements contained at least one ID. I tuned away at 0416 UT, but the signal was still there (although much weaker) at 0433 re-check. SINPO was 33444 at tune-in, but degraded to 33333 by 0433 UT. If they continue at
these power levels, this is a fairly easy catch on ECNA at 0330 UT. (George Maroti-NY-USA, DXplorer Sept 21)

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 10 - 16 September 2012

Solar activity was at low levels during the first half of the of the summary period, and ended the week at very low levels. Region 1569 (S12, L=296, class/area=Eac/210 on 14 September) was the largest and most magnetically complex region of the period, yet only yielded four C-class flares. The largest of these was a C3/Sf flare that occurred at 11/0111Z. A filament eruption occurred near N22W20 at approximately 13/0640Z. The associated CME had an estimated speed of 536 km/s, but had little to no impact on Earth. A Type II Radio Sweep occurred at approximately 15/2259Z, had an estimated speed of 681 km/s, and was associated with a non-Earth directed CME near the north west limb.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels on 10 and 12 September. Moderate levels were observed on 11 September and again from 13 - 16 September.

The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels throughout the period with two isolated unsettled periods on 12 September and 15 September due to extended periods of negative Bz. A solar sector boundary crossing was also observed at approximately 16/1800Z.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 17 September - 13 October 2012

Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels with a chance for moderate activity throughout the forecast 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 18-20 and 24-27 September, then again from 07-09 October.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be quiet to unsettled with active conditions possible on 19-22 September, 03-05, 09-10, and 12-13 October. The active conditions are mainly associated with coronal hole high speed streams.

Thazin Radio monitoring

Myanmar
7110 kHz {usually 9 hertz lower} Thazin Radio in English, at 1430- 1500* UTC on Monday, September 3. Theme music, in English which sounded like the different and unique intro used during the Burmese New Year Water Festival (Thingyan), hence must be a rebroadcast. Intro going something like this:

"good evening ... listeners. This is Thazin Radio, Pyin Oo Lwin. Welcome to our evening English transmission radiating on 639 kilohertz and 7 point 11 megahertz. I wish you a happy Thingyan and I hope you all are in excellent health, wealth and happiness."

Easy-listening music followed by: "good evening our dear listeners. May I present for you some sweet melodies for tonight." Pop songs then presented a program titled "Myanmar Festivals", a weekly Monday show. Informative program about the Phaung-daw-oo Festival "held yearly during the eighteen day period from first waxing of the Thadingyut [the seventh month on the Burmese calendar] to the third waning of the Thadingyut", during which Buddha images made of gold are rowed around Inle Lake+ in Shan State. The highlight is when the images arrive at the town of Nyaung Shwe.

Changes from Belgium's TDP

Ludo Maes of NASB Association Member, has recently released changes from Belgium's TDP, which brokers air time for programs with political or religious background.

Radio Hargeisa Worldwide transmission update

By: Yusuf M Hasan

HARGEISA (Somalilandsun) – Radio Hargeisa transmissions have not been noted internationally for almost a week.

According to Mr. Don Jensen who is a professional Ham radio buff ,Radio Hargeisa hasn't been noted anywhere, not in New Zealand, India, Japan, Europe in about a week now despite use of various advanced radio

Mr. Don Jensen a retired American journalist further revealed that the station, which had earlier on been noted in Japan, India and Europe, were yet to be received in the US before they completely went off air.

Additional story at Somiland Sun: http://somalilandsun.com/index.php/politics/government/1421-somaliland-radio-hargeisa-worldwide-transmission-updates

Radio St. Helena...a glimmer of hope ?

I have been in touch with the staff down there. They have an interim station manager, as Gary Walters went back home to the United Kingdom.

Radio Saint Helena will be shutting down, according to Ralph. He says "our final broadcast will be on 25 December to coincide with our opening on the 25 December ’67. This will make us 45 years of broadcasting."

The medium wave signal on 1548 kHz with 1KW will be shut off for good. As I understand it, at some point, a government funded radio station, operating on FM will launch.

Ralph tells me that the shortwave broadcasting mast has been dismantled by Cable & Wireless, but he's talking to local ham operators to see if they can lash up something for their final broadcast so they can get on shortwave. NO promises though.

That being said, if the shortwave makes it on December 25th at all, it is likely the last time it will ever make it on the air.

My voice was featured on the last Radio Saint Helena shortwave broadcast and even if they don't make it on shortwave this time, I will likely have my voice used on the local medium wave broadcast.

I just thought I'd pass the word. Feel free to pass this to other DX lists and other folks who might be interested.

Two other CMEs were observed on 02 September in STEREO A COR2 imagery beginning at 02/0409 UTC and 02/1109 UTC with potential Earth-directed components.

A greater than 10 MeV proton event (category S1-Minor) associated with the filament eruption on 31 August, began at 01/1335 UTC, reached a maximum of 60 pfu at 02/0850 UTC, and is currently above threshold.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at moderate levels on 27 August. Levels increased to high from 28 through 31 August. Moderate levels were observed for the remainder of the period.

Geomagnetic field activity was mostly quiet from 27 August through 01 September. Activity increased on 02 September with unsettled to active conditions observed due to an extended period of negative Bz.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 03 September - 29 September 2012

Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels with a slight chance for M-class activity through the forecast period.

The greater than 10 MeV proton event currently in progress is expected to remain above the 10 pfu threshold 03-04 September with a additional enhancements possible with CME arrivals.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be at moderate or lower levels from 03-16 September, 21-23 September, and 27-29 September. High levels are forecast 17-20 September and 24-26 September due to coronal hole (CH) effects.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be as high as minor storm (G1) conditions on 03 September with anticipated effects from the 31 August CME. Residual elevated conditions ranging from unsettled to minor storm levels are expected to persist from 03-06 September due to continued transient activity in conjunction with possible CH effects. Mostly quiet conditions are expected from 08 September through 29 September with the exception of two CH periods; 14-16 September and 20-23 September, which should see unsettled to active periods.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 20 - 26 August 2012

Solar activity was very low until 25 and 26 August. The largest flare of the reporting period was a C1/Sf at 25/0236 UTC from Region 1554 (N16, L=215, class/area Dsi/170 on 25 August). No coronal mass ejections observed during the reporting period were Earth-directed.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at high levels from 21 - 24 August. Moderate levels were observed 20 August and again from 25 - 26 August.

Geomagnetic field activity was mostly quiet to unsettled with an isolated active period mid-day on 26 August. At the beginning of the period, solar wind speed, measured at the ACE spacecraft, indicated the presence of a coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS). Solar wind decreased steadily from approximately 600 km/s to 400 km/s by early on 22 August. Quiet to unsettled conditions were observed on 20 - 21 August. By mid-day on 24 August, the phi angle changed from a positive to negative orientation indicating a solar sector boundary crossing. Solar wind speed began to increase early on 25 August from approximately 400 km/s to 610 km/s as another CH HSS moved into geoeffective position. Solar wind speed increased once
more mid-day on 26 August and ended the period around 700 km/s. Conditions were quiet on 22 August. Conditions remained at quiet to unsettled levels from 23 August until mid-day on 26 August as an isolated active period was observed.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 27 August - 22 September 2012

Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels with a slight chance for M-class activity through the forecast 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 29 - 30 August, 09 - 10 September, 16 - 17 September, and again on 22 September due to effects from coronal hole high speed streams.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be mostly quiet to unsettled until 15 September as a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream moves into a geoeffective position. Unsettled to active conditions are expected on 15 - 16 September. Conditions are expected to be mostly quiet to unsettled again from 17 September through 21 September. Another recurrent coronal hole high speed stream is expected to become geoeffective on 22 September causing unsettled to active conditions.

QSLing from the Most Wanted List

In amateur and shortwave radio circles, there are stations considered a snap to hear and verify. And there are those at the top of the heap for Most Wanted. Swains Island, north of Tutuila Island, America Samoa, is one of the most wanted islands to verify, and one whose opportunity occurs rarely.
Despite its small size and remote location, a multinational team will again activate Swains Island and operate on six fully functional stations for 14 days on 1.8-50 MHz, using SSB, CW and RTTY. They expect to arrive on the island and setup on September 4, and plan to begin operations as NH8S the following day.
Amateur radio operators and shortwave listeners can learn more about this historic event on the team website at www.nh8s.org Links include a log search, photos, bios, sponsorship, QSL information and much more.
The suggested frequencies are where the NH8S team will be transmitting, and most of the time they will likely not be listening on their transmitting frequency. Remember to listen for their complete instructions before calling them.
One of the features of the Club Log is the Geo Propagation tab, which gives you an idea of what time and what band listeners from your area are getting through to the DXpedition station. Logs for NH8S will be accessible via their website.
Plans are to cease operating on September 18, and return to Pago Pago on September 20. Questions should be sent to info@nh8s.org .
Don’t miss this chance to verify Swains Island from the Most Wanted List.
