Using a handheld receiver with a dir= ectional antenna, a map, and a compass, competitors search for =E2=80=9Cfox= es=E2=80=9D (transmitters) in forest terrain, racing to locate them in the = shortest time. =C2=A0=20 The USA delegation numbered 19 competitors, who represented the country acr= oss multiple age categories. Overall, the championships featured over 300 a= thletes from 25 nations, a strong showing on the international ARDF stage. =C2=A0=20 The highlight for Team USA came in the classic 80-meter event, in which Nad= ia Scharlau, KO4ADV, of North Carolina, was awarded an individual silver me= dal in the W55 (women ages 55=E2=80=9364) category. Her strong performance = also anchored the USA W55 team, which earned the team bronze medal. The W55 team was rounded out by Maria Burrus and Alla Mezhevaya, who also r= eceived team medals. At the world championships, team scoring is based on the two best individua= l results from a nation=E2=80=99s competitors in each age category; teams m= ay include two to three athletes. =C2=A0=20 Several U.S. athletes competed at a world championship for the first time, = including Maria Burrus (W45); Rose Ganim, W1RBG (W45); Andrew Meyer (M21); = Matt Craig, KM8WBC (M50), and Roland Woodward, KC9YQT (M50).

Regions 4197 and 4210 produced the majority of the C-class flares. Region 4= 199 produced the largest flare, a C6.1, on September 2. Slight decay was ob= served in Region 4197. New spots emerged in the northern portion of Region = 4199. Slight growth occurred in Region 4210. Other activity included an app= roximately 37-degree filament eruption centered near N18W42 on September 5,= observed in SUVI 304 imagery. Initial modelling of the event showed no Ear= th-directed component. =C2=A0 The forecast is for M-class flares (R1-R2/minor-moderate), with a slight ch= ance for an X-class flare (R3-strong or greater), through September 5, prim= arily due to the flare potential exhibited from AR 4197. =C2=A0 The 10.7-centimeter flux: September 4, 195; September 5, 185; September 6, = 175; September 7, 160; September 8, 140; September 9, 130; September 10, 12= 5.=20 =C2=A0 Solar wind parameters continued to be enhanced under coronal mass ejection = (CME) effects.
