It=E2=80=99s ARRL=E2=80=99s Year of the Club=2C and several radio clubs ar=

 nation of Malawi. One of them is the New Providence Amateur Radio Club (h=

11_57&utm_medium=3Demail&utm_term=3D0_-854576c042-443793198) in Emba=
ngweni=2C Malawi. The foundation is run by Don Jones=2C 7Q6M=2C and accord=
ing to its website=2C its purpose is to help encourage interest and skills=
 in STEM (science=2C technology=2C engineering=2C and math) fields =E2=80=
=9Cthrough the hands-on discipline of amateur radio.=E2=80=9D

NPARC=E2=80=99s relationship with this program goes back to a random QSO a=
 few years ago between 7Q6M and NPARC activities director Sam Sealy=2C KC2=
OSR. Don=E2=80=99s QSL card piqued Sam=E2=80=99s interest=2C since the clu=
b had a large collection of surplus equipment that had been donated by fam=
ilies of Silent Keys. Making contact off-air=2C Don told Sam he=E2=80=99d=
 take whatever they could spare. That resulted in the club=E2=80=99s first=
 shipment of 140 pounds of gear destined for Malawi.

The club has recently been collecting more items=2C including two Hamtek o=
scilloscopes it purchased for use at the foundation=E2=80=99s technical sc=
hool in Embangweni=2C the Jeffrey Dahn Learning Center. The newly-gathered=
 gear from NPARC and other clubs is about to begin its journey across the=
 Atlantic=2C as Don told the club this week that he=E2=80=99d received a s=
hipping container in which to pack all of the equipment headed for its new=
 home.

=E2=80=8B () Year of the Club =E2=80=A6 Keep on Truckin=E2=80=99

One way to introduce people to amateur radio is to link it with other inte=
rests and activities. The Keystone Truck & Tractor Museum in Colonial Heig=
hts=2C Virginia=2C already has a ham station as part of its permanent exhi=
bit (https://keystonetractorworks.com/museum/radio-exhibit/?utm_source=3DA=
RRL&utm_campaign=3D854576c042-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2026_09_30_11_57&utm_medium=
=3Demail&utm_term=3D0_-854576c042-443793198) =2C and this summer=2C=
 volunteers from six area radio clubs joined museum volunteers to present=
 a Radio Day=2C during which visitors not only learned about radio history=
=2C but were introduced to modern-day amateur radio.

The museum=E2=80=99s exhibit is built around the extensive antique radio c=
ollection of John DeMajo=2C K5HTZ (SK). His daughter=2C Kathleen DeMajo Ad=
ams=2C now holds that call sign and is known around the museum as =E2=80=
=9CThe Radio Lady.=E2=80=9D She explained how his collection fit in with t=
he trucks and tractors. =E2=80=9CThere were several institutions intereste=
d in my dad=E2=80=99s radio collection=2C=E2=80=9D she said=2C =E2=80=9Cbu=
t ultimately it was the character of the people at Keystone that made it f=
eel like the right home for it. They value American ingenuity=2C mechanica=
l knowledge=2C preservation=2C and keeping old technology alive and workin=
g rather than simply displaying it. I felt very strongly that my dad would=
 have respected that.=E2=80=9D

Adams said Radio Day demonstrated that =E2=80=9Cradio history is not somet=
hing locked behind glass=2C=E2=80=9D but rather an experience that can sti=
ll be =E2=80=9Cheard=2C touched=2C and explored.=E2=80=9D She also pointed=
 out that radio continues to be very important to farmers while working in=
 the fields. And truckers=2C of course=2C rely heavily on radio while on t=
he road.

At the August 8 event=2C Adams explained=2C visitors =E2=80=9Ctried Morse=
 code=2C studied antique equipment=2C watched live amateur radio demonstra=
tions and learned how radio supports emergency communication. Children fol=
lowed a scavenger hunt=2C designed imaginary antennas and discovered that=
 signals are moving invisibly around us all the time.=E2=80=9D

Participating clubs included the Richmond Amateur Radio Club=2C Richmond A=
mateur Telecommunications Society=2C and Powhatan Area Radio Club =E2=80=
=94 all ARRL Affiliated Clubs =E2=80=94 plus the Hanover Virginia Amateur=
 Radio Club=2C Lower Appomattox Regional Radio Club=2C and the Central Vir=
ginia 6 Meter Group.

 map of Europe=2C you=E2=80=99ll see that the city of Lviv is actually in=
 Ukraine=2C and the club is based there as well. But before the border cha=
nges that occurred at the end of World War II=2C Lviv was in Poland=2C and=
 in its early days =E2=80=94 according to a club history provided by Nikol=
ai Magnushevsky=2C UR5WHT=2C and Rich Assarabowski=2C K1CC =E2=80=94 LKK r=
epresented Polish amateurs in the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU)=
 until the formation of the PZK=2C the Polish Amateur Radio Union=2C in 19=
30. The club also published its own magazine between 1928 and 1939=2C prov=
ided equipment for a scientific expedition in the Carpathian Mountains in=
 1930 and was active in
emergency communications as well. LKK was also the original administrator=
 of what is today the SP DX Contest.

After World War II=2C Lviv found itself in Ukraine=2C but LKK=E2=80=99s me=
mbership stretched across both sides of the border=2C and continues to do=
 so today. That is reflected in the special call signs you may encounter o=

 Maguire=2C WA1ZZQ=2C Stuharik was net control of the group=E2=80=99s week=

 repeated calls on the radio and to his cellphone went unanswered=2C the l=

 delayed due to other calls=2C so Nowinski drove 45 minutes to Stuharik=E2=

=E2=80=99s deputy. Steve=E2=80=99s wife=2C Jean=2C answered the door=2C ha=
ving no idea there might be a problem. Maguire said that Peter and the dep=

=E2=80=8B () The ARRL Solar Report

Solar activity is expected to remain at low levels in the coming days=2C a=
ccording to NOAA=E2=80=99s Space Weather Prediction Center=2C with a sligh=
t chance of a minor to moderate solar flare (coronal mass ejection=2C or C=
ME). One CME observed on September 28 may cause the Earth=E2=80=99s geomag=
netic field to reach minor storm levels on October 2. Another flare observ=
ed on September 30 is expected to deliver a weak glancing blow to Earth on=
 October 4.

Australia=E2=80=99s Space Weather Forecasting Centre predicts normal to no=
rmal-fair HF propagation in the middle latitudes in coming days=2C with th=
e degradation due to anticipated geomagnetic activity.

The W3LPL Propagation Forecast from the Daily DX suggests that the low ban=
ds are your best bet for DXing right now=2C as the sunspot cycle continues=
 to decline=2C although 20 meters still offers good DX opportunities. Long=
-distance propagation on 10 and 12 meters is generally poor=2C with good o=
penings on 17 and 15 meters when the solar flux index is 100 or higher (it=
=E2=80=99s currently hovering right around 100; see below). Good DX condit=
ions can be expected on 20 meters throughout the day and into the night=2C=
 says W3LPL=2C with 30=2C 40=2C and 80 meters offering excellent DX during=
 hours of darkness.

Predicted 10.7-centimeter solar flux: Oct 1=2C 105; Oct 2=2C 100; Oct 3=2C=
 95; Oct 4=2C 90; Oct 5-6=2C 91=2C Oct 7=2C 92. (Source: NOAA SWPC)
