Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 01 - 07 April 2013

Solar activity began the period at very low levels on 01-02 April. By 03 April, solar activity increased to low levels and continued at low levels through 04 April due to several low level C-class flares from Regions 1708 (N11, L=190, class/area Dao/090 on 29 March), 1711 (S19, L=158, class/area Cko/580 on 04 April), and 1713 (N10, L=175, class/area Dai/130 on 06 April). By 05 April, solar activity reached moderate levels with an isolated M2 flare at 05/1748 UTC from Region 1719 (N08, L=076, class/area Dsi/150 on 07 April. Earlier on 05 April, a long duration C2 flare was observed at 05/0650 UTC, also from Region 1719 as it began to rotate onto the east limb. An associated coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed off the east limb in SOHO/LASCO C2 imagery beginning at 05/0712 UTC, but was not Earth-directed. By 06-07 April, solar activity returned to low levels with the majority of the C-class flares from Regions 1718 (N20, L=109, class/area Dai/140 on 07 April) and 1719. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed during the reporting period. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
high levels on 01-05 April and decreased to moderate levels by 06-07
April. The maximum weekly flux value of 5166 pfu was observed at
02/1735 UTC. 

Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels with isolated active periods at high latitudes mid-day on 01 and 07 April. Solar wind speed began the period decreasing from approximately 480 km/s to a low near 250 km/s by late on 05 April while the total field strength slowly increased from 2 nT to 6 nT. By Early on 06 April, solar wind speed started to increase to 340-370 km/s while total field strength increased to 5-7 nT. Solar wind speed was relatively constant near
the 330-350 km/s range through the end of the reporting period. Phi angle was mostly negative (towards) through approximately 07/1500 UTC when a change to a more positive (away) sector occurred. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 08 April - 04 May 2013

Solar activity is expected to be at very low to low levels with a chance for M-class flaring from 08-19 April as Regions 1713, 1718, and 1719 continue to transit across the visible disk. From 20 April until the end of the forecast period, very low to low levels are expected. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be at normal to moderate levels with a chance for high levels on 24 April-02 May due to recurrent coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) effects. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be quiet to unsettled on 08-09 April due to weak CH HSS effects. Mostly quiet conditions will prevail until another CH HSS moves into geoeffective position on 23 April. Quiet to unsettle conditions with a chance for isolated active periods are expected on 23 April with quiet to unsettled levels on 24 April. Another CH HSS is expected to become geoeffective on 25-26 April causing unsettled to active conditions with minor storm periods possible. Conditions are expected to return to mostly quiet levels by 27 April through the end of the forecast period.

Monitoring Voice of Pujiang



China


5075 kHz, Voice of Pujiang via Shanghai, 1219-1233 UTC, April 4. Chatting in Chinese, 1227 - spot in English (“a smile is the sunshine after the rain . . . let’s smile”; interview with “Michael.” Fair signal. MP3 audio at https://www.box.com/s/36j8de0gnsps10b1y1dx . Am grateful to Timm Breyel (Malaysia) for his excellent work establishing the following contact information! Please see Timm’s website:
http://shortwavedxer.blogspot.com/2012/12/want-qsl-from-voice-of-pujiang.html   .

Sent off a report of my reception to victor.pujiang@gmail.com , along with my box.com audio reference. Also told him how I miss visiting the old Xiangyang Market (which was across the street from Xiangyang Park that I often visited), where they use to sell fake designer goods (closed 2006). Received this reply:
“Thank you for your reception report! I have listened to the record. I confirm you were listening to Voice of Pujiang, please find the QSL- letter in the attachment.

When I was a high school student, many of my classmates went to the Xiangyang Market to get some cheap stuff. :) If you have another chance to Shanghai, you are most welcome to come to our station, the address is  shown on the QSL letter, or we can have a coffee together, I am also a DXer. Have a nice weekend!”
https://www.box.com/s/dffglzuqo0erpr53jb80 contains a copy of the attached QSL letter. Have listened to this station for many years and am very pleased to finally have a very nice confirmation of reception (Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA/Cumbre)

Update on the future of Radio Fly





Papua New Guinea 
3915, Radio Fly, Kiunga, 1200-1400 UTC, Mar 26. For about three days now have not heard any open carrier during my usual checking. Finally off the air now, after seemingly running on very low power for a long time?

http://www.oktedi.com/operations/mine-closure-planning  discloses that Ok Tedi Mining Ltd. (OTML) (owner and operator of Radio Fly) plans on closing down their mining operation “around mid- to late-2013”. Here is another interesting response received from OTML regarding my query sent to Nigel Parker about the current status of R Fly:

"Dear Ron, good to hear from you again and to know that you remain a faithful Radio Fly devotee.
Contrary to what you may have heard there is a bright future for OTML with the mine to continue well into the late 2020's. You would also be pleased to know that OTML is actively engaged in extending the coverage of Radio Fly from our current limited geographical footprint to a comprehensive Western Province footprint by utilising mobile phone towers to add repeaters. 

The primary purpose is to enable the broadcast of "School of the Air" programs as a way to bring education to the remote communities of the Western Province. To get this going we are now sourcing the funding for this extension. I would also like to point you to the Ok Tedi Development Foundation website - www.otdf.com.pg  which will provide some insight to our part of the world for you.
Nigel Parker, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Ok Tedi Mining Limited". (Howard, Mar 27)
