See below if you have any input.  Many of us were using the relevant data coming out of the site for propagation analysis.

HAARP                                          Neal Brown

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program system near Gakona, Alaska, got a reprieve from being immediately dismantled when Department of Defense funding dried up recently.  The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is taking the lead to find ways to keep it going.  I have been invited to discuss what ham?s have done with HAARP in the past and what they might do with it in the future the week of 20 October 2014.  I badly need input from hams in AARC, Alaska, and elsewhere.  Please spread the word and have folks contact me; neal.nbrown at gmail.com

Subject: [KL7AA] Contest Weekend 25 Oct CQ WW DX
Message-ID: <5443FA98.40609@kl7yk.us>

FYI for you contesters out there.**The weekend contest that starts 
Friday at 4pm local time has another restriction on place.  At least 
this one will not bite you as its an automatic deletion of Crimean Calls 
from your log entry. No penalty for working them, just no credit.
*
 From CQ Magazine (sponsors the CQ Contests):

CQ policy on stations in Crimea using Russian-issued call signs in CQ 
contests *

"After considerable deliberation, *CQ* has determined that the best 
course of action regarding Crimea and CQ contests is to follow the lead 
of the United Nations and the United States government, both of which 
continue to consider Crimea to be part of Ukraine, until such time as 
the political situation there is resolved. Therefore,

Logs will not be accepted for any *CQ Contest* from stations in Crimea 
operating with Russian-issued call signs. Contacts made by others with 
those stations will be removed from contestants' logs without penalty. 
No contact or multiplier credits will be given.

We fully realize that our action may very well disenfranchise several 
Crimean contesters who use Russian prefixes instead of Ukrainian 
prefixes. As regrettable as that may be, our action is consistent with 
international law, as well as with our own Rules."

Ron, KL7YK

Subject: [KL7AA] AARC Monthly Meeting announcement for November 7
Message-ID: <004101cff51b$cd930440$68b90cc0$@gmail.com>

All,

 

The November edition of the Anchorage Amateur Radio Club's monthly meeting
will be held at the normal location on the APU campus November 7 (week from
today).  In addition to the annual review of the club's budget, we have
another interesting guest speaker, Sam Albanese of NOAA...  From Sam:

 

Are you interested in helping the NWS improve forecast services? Come join
us November 7th from 7 to 9 PM to learn about the Volunteer Weather Spotter
Program. A Volunteer Weather Spotter helps your NOAA's National Weather
Service stay aware of the high impact weather that enables them to provide
the best up to date weather forecast to help you make important decisions to
protect yourself and your property. 

 

Many of you are aware that the ARRL and many ham associations throughout the
country and world sponsor amateur radio weather spotting ( see
<http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/?n=amateurradio>
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/?n=amateurradio for example) in the Skywarn
system.  

 

Come and join us for this informative session.  Meeting starts at 7pm.
