> WRC-12 PLENARY SESSION
>
>     At the February 3 Plenary Session of the 2012 World
> Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-12), delegates heard the first
> reading and approved a worldwide exclusive allocation to Maritime
> Mobile of 495-505 kHz. There will need to be a second reading to
> finalize the allocation. According to ARRL Chief Executive Officer
> David Sumner, K1ZZ, discussion of this allocation to Maritime Mobile
> "has been in the works throughout the conference preparation (i.e.
> since 2008) and was the reason why the MF amateur allocation could not
> be made in this band as some amateurs had hoped. That's why we [the
> Amateur Radio Service] had to look elsewhere and is what put us in
> conflict with aeronautical radionavigation."

> AIR NEXT WEEKEND
>
>     CW DXing and contesting take center stage the weekend of February
> 18-19, as the 2012 ARRL International DX CW Contest takes to the
> airwaves. "After years of lackluster conditions on 15 and 10 meters,
> 2011 finally saw the propagation gods giving us a break," said ARRL
> Contest Branch Manager Sean Kutzko, KX9X. "Since September 2011, the
> high bands have been in excellent shape, with worldwide openings on 15
> and 10 meters becoming an almost-daily occurrence. As a result,
> activity has spiked in almost every major contest, with hundreds more
> logs being submitted. If conditions hold -- and I don't see why they
> wouldn't -- we're in for another high-band treat in another week or

> Solar activity was down again this week -- this is the third week in a
> row with sunspot numbers lower than the week prior. On January 20, we
> reported an average daily sunspot number of 116.9 for January 12-18,
> 98.7 the next week, followed by 62 the week of January 26-February 1,
> and now 40.4 during the latest period. The solar flux forecast -- which
> roughly tracks sunspot numbers; we don't have access to any short term
> sunspot number forecast -- is also lower. The latest forecast from
> NOAA/USAF has solar flux at 100 on February 9-11, 105 on February 12,
> and 110 on February 13-24. The predicted planetary A index is 8 on
> February 9-10, 5 on February 11, 8 on February 12-13, 5 on February
> 14-22, 8 on February 23, and 5 from February 24 through the end of the

>     Richard "Dick" Kirby, W0LCT/HB9BOA, passed away on January 26. He
> was 89. In 1974, Kirby -- an ARRL Life Member -- was elected Director
> of the International Telecommunication Union's International Radio
> Consultative Committee; he served as Director until his retirement in
> 1995. In 1992, under Kirby's tenure as Director, the Committee became
> the ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R). One of three sectors at the
> ITU, ITU-R is responsible for matters concerning radio communication.
> Its role is to manage the international radio-frequency spectrum and
> satellite orbit resources, and to develop standards for
> radiocommunication systems with the objective of ensuring the effective
> use of the spectrum. While at the ITU, Kirby also served as President
