*Amateur Radio Licensing Update During US Government Shutdown*

The ARRL Volunteer Examiner Coordinator, ARRL VEC, wants members to know 
that we are closely following the impact of the US Government shutdown 
on licensing for the Amateur Radio Service.

The government shutdown began at 12:01 Eastern time on Wednesday, 
October 1, 2025, when Congress had not passed an appropriations bill or 
other plan to keep the government funded for the new fiscal year (begins 
October 1).

The Federal Communications Commission, which issues Amateur Radio 
Service licenses, issued a Public Notice 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyNTQ3MzY2NCZsaT0zOTkyNzI2Mw/index.html> 
on Tuesday, September 30, indicating that it would suspend most 
operations following a shutdown. ?Aside from a few emergency and auction 
filing systems, all other Commission electronic filing systems will be 
unavailable to the public until normal agency operations resume,? said 
the FCC Notice.

ARRL VEC Manager Maria Somma, AB1FM, said the FCC systems appeared to go 
off-line around 1 PM Eastern time, and are redirecting to the Public 
Notice. This means the FCC will not be processing any amateur radio 
license applications during the shutdown, which includes individual, 
club, and exam session (new and upgrade) applications.

?But ARRL Volunteer Examiners should continue giving exam sessions,? 
said Somma. ?Keep doing what you?re doing. Keep serving new and upgrade 
candidates for amateur radio licenses.? Somma also urged that Volunteer 
Examiners continue to promptly forward session results from their exams 
to the ARRL VEC.

?Please do not hold your session results. Send your sessions to us, and 
ARRL VEC will continue to queue all applications as they are received. 
Once the federal government reopens, ARRL VEC will promptly resume 
submitting applications to the FCC for processing. So, keep sending 
sessions to the ARRL VEC.?

The FCC Notice indicates that the CORES registration system will remain 
available to the public and will not be affected by the shutdown. Exam 
candidates can still register in CORES and be assigned an FCC 
Registration Number (FRN) at *https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userLogin.do 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyNTQ3MzY2NCZsaT0zOTkyNzI2NA/index.html>*. 
The FCC's Universal Licensing System (ULS 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyNTQ3MzY2NCZsaT0zOTkyNzI2NQ/index.html>) 
databases are currently unavailable to the public. ULS and related 
systems (like the License Manager, License Search, Application Search, 
etc.) are not accessible during the shutdown. Users cannot file 
applications with the FCC, or access license data, including address 
information.

To find an amateur radio exam session, please visit 
*www.arrl.org/find-an-exam 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyNTQ3MzY2NCZsaT0zOTkyNzI2Ng/index.html>*.

*Pass The Bill*

As a reminder, ARRL is continuing to collect letters from EVERY HAM as 
part of our grassroots campaign to pass the Amateur Radio Emergency 
Preparedness Act 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyNTQ3MzY2NCZsaT0zOTkyNzI2OQ/index.html>. 
The legislation is intended to prevent restrictive homeowners? 
association (HOA) rules that currently prohibit or severely limit the 
installation of amateur radio antennas. Send your letters now at 
*www.arrl.org/HOA 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDUwNzQ2JnA9MSZ1PTUyNTQ3MzY2NCZsaT0zOTkyNzI2OQ/index.html>*.

  Equatorial Guinea?s repression of island protesters includes internet
  outage ? for over a year and counting

Sept. 14, 2025 11:04 AM PT
LAGOS, Nigeria
(Associated Press)

When residents of Equatorial Guinea?s Annob?n island wrote to the 
government in Malabo in July of last year complaining about the dynamite 
explosions by a Moroccan construction company, they didn?t expect the 
swift end to their internet access.

Dozens of the signatories and residents were imprisoned for nearly a 
year, while internet access to the small island has been cut off since 
then, according to residents and rights groups.

Local residents interviewed by the Associated Press left the island in 
the past months, citing fear for their lives and the difficulty of life 
without the internet.

Banking services have shut down, hospital services for emergencies have 
been brought to a halt, and residents say they rack up phone bills they 
can?t afford because cellphone calls are the only way to communicate.

When governments shut down the internet, they often instruct telecom 
providers to cut connections to designated locations or access to 
designated websites, although it?s unclear exactly how the shutdown 
works on Annob?n.

The internet shutdown remains in effect, residents and activists 
confirmed, at a moment when the Trump administration has considered 
loosening sanctions on the country?s vice president over corruption.

The Moroccan company Somagec, which activists allege is linked to 
President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, confirmed the outage but denied 
having a hand in it. The AP could not confirm a link.

?The current situation is extremely serious and worrying,? one of the 
signatories who spent 11 months in prison said, speaking anonymously for 
fear of being targeted by the government.


    Repression ramps up

In addition to the internet shutdown, ?phone calls are heavily 
monitored, and speaking freely can pose a risk,? said Macus Menejolea 
Taxijad, a resident who recently began living in exile.

It is only the latest repressive measure that the country has deployed 
to crush criticism, including mass surveillance, according to a 2024 
Amnesty International report.

Equatorial Guinea, a former Spanish colony, is run by Africa?s 
longest-serving ruler. Obiang, at 83, has served as president for more 
than half his life ? since 1979. His son serves as the vice president 
and is accused of spending state funds on a lavish lifestyle. He was 
convicted of money laundering and embezzlement in France and sanctioned 
by the U.K.

On Friday, the United Nations? top court declined Equatorial Guinea?s 
request for France to return a Paris-based mansion confiscated as part 
of a corruption probe, ruling that the African nation has not shown it 
has a ?plausible right to the return of the building.?

Despite the country?s oil and gas wealth, at least 57% of its nearly 2 
million people live in poverty, according to the World Bank Officials, 
their families and their inner circle, meanwhile, live a life of luxury.

The Equatorial Guinea government did not respond to the AP?s inquiry 
about the island, its condition and internet access.


    Annob?n has a troubled history

Located in the Atlantic Ocean about 315 miles from mainland Equatorial 
Guinea?s coast, Annob?n is one of the country?s poorest islands and 
often in conflict with the central government. With a population of 
around 5,000 people, the island has been seeking independence for years 
as it accuses the government of disregarding its residents.

The internet shutdown is the latest in a long history of Malabo?s 
repressive responses to the island?s political and economic demands, 
activists say, citing regular arrests and the absence of adequate social 
amenities such as schools and hospitals.

?Their marginalization is not only from a political perspective, but 
from a cultural, societal and economic perspective,? said Merc? Monje 
Cano, secretary-general of the global advocacy group the Unrepresented 
Peoples and Nations Organization.

An airport that opened on Annob?n in 2013, which was built by Somagec, 
promised to connect the island to the rest of the country. But not much 
has improved, locals and activists say. The internet shutdown has 
instead worsened living conditions there, collapsing key infrastructure, 
including healthcare and banking services.


    Crackdown on a protest

In 2007, Equatorial Guinea entered into a business deal with Somagec, a 
Moroccan construction company that develops ports and electricity 
transmission systems across West and Central Africa.

Annob?n?s geological formation and volcanic past make the island rich in 
rocks and expands Malabo?s influence in the Gulf of Guinea, which is 
abundantly rich in oil. Somagec has also built a port and, according to 
activists, explored mineral extraction on Annob?n since it began 
operations on the island.

Residents and activists said the company?s dynamite explosions in open 
quarries and construction activities have been polluting their farmlands 
and water supply. The company?s work on the island continues.

Residents hoped to pressure authorities to improve the situation with 
their complaint in July 2024. Instead, Obiang deployed a repressive 
tactic now common in Africa ? cutting off access to the internet to 
clamp down on protest and criticism.

This was different from past cases when Obiang restricted the internet 
during an election.

?This is the first time the government cut off the internet because a 
community has a complaint,? said Tutu Alicante, an Annob?n-born activist 
who runs the EG Justice human rights organization

The power of the internet to enable people to challenge their leaders 
threatens authorities, according to Felicia Anthonio of Access Now, an 
internet rights advocacy group. ?So, the first thing they do during a 
protest is to go after the internet,? Anthonio said.

Somagec?s chief executive, Roger Sahyoun, denied having a hand in the 
shutdown and said the company itself has been forced to rely on a 
private satellite. He defended the dynamite blasting as crucial for its 
construction projects, saying all necessary assessments had been done.

?After having undertaken geotechnical and environmental impact studies, 
the current site where the quarry was opened was confirmed as the best 
place to meet all the criteria,? Sahyoun said in an email message.

The residents, meanwhile, continue to suffer the internet shutdown, 
unable to use even the private satellite deployed by the company.

?Annob?n is very remote and far from the capital and the [rest of] 
continent,? said Alicante, the activist from the island. ?So you?re 
leaving people there without access to the rest of the continent ... and 
incommunicado.?

ARLP037 The ARRL Solar Report

Solar activity, which has been at low levels, has returned to moderate 
levels. Region AR4232 produced the largest event of the period, an 
impulsive M3.6 flare (R1-minor) on October 1, 2025.

An associated Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was observed in subsequent 
SOHO LASCO/C2 coronagraph imagery that began on September 29. Analysis 
and modelling of the ejecta is ongoing.

Newly numbered Region AR4237 remained relatively quiet as it developed. 
Region AR4263 also produced an R1 event with an M1.0/Sf flare near the 
end of the reporting period.

It is important to note that, after careful assessment of recent 
magnetograph imagery, a spot previously associated to region AR4239 is 
now considered part of the AR4230, explaining its reported size 
increase. A new region appeared but remained unnumbered until further 
observation.

With multiple regions continuing to exhibit growth, flare activity is 
likely to remain at moderate levels (R1-R2/minor-moderate) with a slight 
chance for an X-class flare (R3-strong) through October 30.

Weak enhancements in the solar wind environment, that began September 
29, are likely to continue as influence from a negative polarity Coronal 
Hole High Speed Stream (CH HSS) persists.

The CH HSS influences on the solar wind conditions near Earth are 
expected to persist through October 5, as the planet continues to be 
embedded at the CH associated co-rotating interactive region (CIR). A 
recurrent negative CH was observed rotating into the East limb of the 
visible solar disk during the period, but no impact is expected from it 
in the upcoming days.

Weekly Commentary on the Sun, the Magnetosphere, and the Earth's 
Ionosphere, October 2, 2025, by F. K. Janda, OK1HH:

"During September, a relatively large number of sunspot groups were 
observed on the solar disk, but there were almost no energetically 
significant eruptions. It seemed to be the calm before the storm. The 
question was what would cause the storm and how the disturbance would 
develop. Important factors were: the proximity of the Autumn Equinox and 
the configuration of areas on the solar disk.

"The following phenomena were key to further developments:

- The Russell-McPherron effect, in which the magnetic field lines of the 
Sun and Earth can connect around the equinox.

- The source of the intensified solar wind heading towards Earth.

"The second condition was also met - we observed coronal holes No. 83 
and 84 on the solar disk near active regions No. 4230 and 4238, with the 
space between them being close enough to the central meridian.

"The disturbance began with a so-called positive phase on the afternoon 
of September 29 UTC, while the critical frequencies in the F2 
ionospheric layer initially rose for several hours. In the following 
days, the solar wind speed gradually increased to an impressive 800 
km/s. The intensity of the geomagnetic disturbance reached grade G3 
(three-hour K indices rose to 6 to 7).

"The return of the ionosphere to normal conditions will be slow, as 
solar activity is expected to gradually decline in the first half of 
October. In addition, after a slight lull, another disturbance can be 
expected around October 7, and even after that, the situation will not 
be very calm."

The Predicted Planetary A Index for October 4 to 10 is 8, 8, 8, 5, 5, 5, 
and 5, with a mean of 6.3. The Predicted Planetary K Index is 3, 3, 3, 
2, 2, 2, and 2, with a mean of 2.4. 10.7 centimeter flux is 170, 165, 
165, 165, 155, 155, and 155, with a mean of 161.4.

  *Introducing a new CW award for 2025*

A new plaque, sponsored by Klaus VK3IU (ex 4F1RWW and ex member of 
DX1RPI Inc) is being awarded for the highest scoring entrant from 
Indonesia, the Philippines, East Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, or East 
Timor in any of the CW Single Operator LOW Power categories.
We wish all contesters in these regions the best of DX luck in their 
efforts to be the inaugural winner of this new award!


  Plus Changes to the SE Asia Phone Award

The previous /*South East Asia Phone award* /is also being extended to 
include Indonesia this year, to bring regional award parity for both 
Phone and CW operators. We hope this will encourage further 
participation from Indonesia, the Philippines, East Malaysia, Brunei 
Darussalam, and East Timor, during the Phone contest as well!

Qeqertaq Avannarleq is a grounded iceberg in the Arctic Ocean, covered 
by a layer of soil, pebbles and mud. Its name is unofficial. Discovered 
in August 2021 off of the northern tip of Greenland, it was originally 
thought to be an island. In 2022, it was re-designated as an iceberg 
with a surface consisting primarily of seabed mud and moraine, an 
accumulation of unconsolidated debris left behind by glaciers. Wikipedia

?We are going to operate this event as a way to encourage members to get 
on HF phone and to have some fun.

oEveryone in the world tries to work us for a change!

oInformation is already on the website landing page

oIt starts at 8PM ET Friday October 24 (0000 UTC Saturday) and ends at 
7:59PM ET Sunday October 26 (2359 UTC Sunday) [We can operate what ever 
part of the? 48 hours we want]

?160m thru 10m no WARC bands

?We have antennas for all those bands except 160m (yet ? that antenna 
is~ 250 feet long)

?All 3 stations can be used

oThe board approved a motion to allocate $150 for food.

oExpect this to be a low key event, show up and operate, hang out

This is an easy way to get on HF, you can start by logging for one of 
the operators and try operating when you are comfortable.

You do not have to reserve operating slots but I will set up the page 
for that if you want too.

/From Tony N2MFT:/


*Rule Changes to CQ World Wide DX SSB and CW Contests*

There will be some rule changes to the upcoming 2025 CQ World Wide 
(CQWW) DX SSB and CW contests this fall. Most of these modifications 
will be minor with one notable exception: the Explorer category will be 
discontinued effective with the 2025 CQWW DX Contest. A new 
Multi-Transmitter-Distributed category will be added, and the rules will 
be consistent with the CQ WPX Multi-Distributed category. See section 
C.4. of the CQWW rules at*cqww.com/rules.htm 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDU2OTgwJnA9MSZ1PTU1NTg0MDIyMiZsaT00MDAxOTg0OA/index.html>*for 
details.

?/Thanks to CQWW Contest Director, John Dorr, K1AR/

ARRL Member Bulletin for October 10, 2025

	

October 10, 2025

*Pass The Bill: Have You Sent Your Letters?*

ARRL?s push to pass the bill has great momentum, but we need *_EVERY_* 
radio amateur in the United States to send their letters.

_Your participation can make the difference_ in passing this legislation.

It only takes seconds. If you?re a licensed ham in the US, go to 
*https://send-a-letter.org/hoa/ 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDU5MTkwJnA9MSZ1PTUyNTQ3MzY2NCZsaT00MDA1NDk3NA/index.html>*,**enter 
your call sign, validate your address, and click the red SEND MY LETTERS 
button. /It really is that easy!/

In less time than it takes to make a single QSO, your letters will tell 
Congress to remove the legal restraints on hams living in restrictive 
HOAs to put up an antenna.

Follow the link at *https://send-a-letter.org/hoa/ 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDU5MTkwJnA9MSZ1PTUyNTQ3MzY2NCZsaT00MDA1NDk3NA/index.html>* 
to send your letter now!

<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDU5MTkwJnA9MSZ1PTUyNTQ3MzY2NCZsaT00MDA1NDk3NA/index.html> 


*What it is:*

The /Amateur Radio Emergency Preparedness Act/ (see ARRL News 02/07/2025 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDU5MTkwJnA9MSZ1PTUyNTQ3MzY2NCZsaT00MDA1NDk3NQ/index.html>) 
is a pair of bipartisan bills -- H.R.1094 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDU5MTkwJnA9MSZ1PTUyNTQ3MzY2NCZsaT00MDA1NDk3Ng/index.html> 
in the House and S.459 
<https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNDU5MTkwJnA9MSZ1PTUyNTQ3MzY2NCZsaT00MDA1NDk3Nw/index.html> 
in the Senate ? which are designed to prevent restrictive homeowners? 
association (HOA) rules that currently prohibit or severely limit the 
installation of amateur radio antennas, even when such antennas are 
hidden in trees, placed in attics, mounted on vehicles, or look like 
flagpoles.

Subject: [SFDXA] Please read and send letters to your Congressmen via the
 ARRL to reduce HOA antenna restrictions
Message-ID: <0796c772-8c9e-4f18-ba5c-42c947c1a9c9@rjoerger.com>

Hello,

I'm writing to give you information about an ARRL sponsored campaign to 
send letters to Congress about reducing restrictions for hams in HOA 
communities.

Their web page (here <https://send-a-letter.org/hoa/>) describes what 
they are asking better than I can but in short the ARRL is sending 
letters to our congressional representatives (both of your senators and 
your representative) asking them to reduce the home owner association 
rules against putting up ham antennas (even hidden and attic antennas)in 
HOA restricted communities.

You do not need to be an ARRL member.

You don't need to know who your congressmen are, they supply that 
information using your address.

You don't need to be a ham, just leave the Call Sign box empty.

The text of the letters is here 
<https://send-a-letter.org/hoasampleletter/>.

There is a QR code here 
<https://send-a-letter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/HOA-ENLetterWithQR.pdf> 
if you want to use it.

The link to their page is on our web site <https://dcarc.club/>, top 
row, right most column and looks like below, but these links are in the 
email above too.

Apparently it started as an antenna store and grew.

Lots of supplies, some radios.

With contest season in full swing, with CQWW Phone and CW, ARRL 10 meter 
Contest and others coming up, I thought that our members could play in 
the contests and get a respectable DX Marathon Sprint score!

Since SFDXA is a sponsor of DX Marathon, we should be entering our logs 
into the DX Marathon website.

This DX Marathon Sprint covers the CQWW Phone contest, the World Series 
of contests.

I look forward to seeing some members uploading some great scores!

Very 73,
Randy N4QV

6 October 2025

For Immediate Release The return to Socorro Island

Next week (October 25) Mark, XE1B, is returning to Revillagigedo for a 
short visit to meet the new base commander and set the conditions for an 
international team with remote capabilities for the future. Access to 
the base is severely restricted and only via a Navy battleship making 
supply runs from Baja, Mexico. The next Navy trip is scheduled for a 23 
October departure from Socorro and a return on the 30^th of October. 
That will allow Mark a 5 day window of operating (it?s a 36 hour trip).

Mark is a 3 time veteran of trips there, having activated XF4 in 1999, 
2011, and 2018. He has a new license for this trip (the callsign will be 
released when he is QRV). He also has permission from the Navy and the 
other two regulatory agencies to visit the island and operate.

This is a self funded trip using Mark?s personal equipment and some 
purchases in the US by N1DG. It will be a low profile, low geographic 
impact operation showing the Commander that a DXpedition can be 
conducted without a major impact on the Island?s mission. Use of remote 
operators via the NCDXF RIB technology will also be discussed. 
Accordingly, do not expect a Mega DXpedition this time. Mark?s intent is 
to make as many ATNO contacts and lower XF4?s rank of 24^th most wanted 
(12^th in Europe) by as much as one operator can do in 5 days.

Mark will bring 4 antennas, 2 radios and one linear covering 80 to 6 
meters. He will operate SSB and FT8 at the same time. There will be No 
automated FT8 QSOs He is unsure of internet availability so there will 
be no streaming online logs. QSL after the operation using Club Log 
only. N1DG will handle the QSL processing. LOTW QSOs will be uploaded as 
OQRS requests are processed. After postage and QSL printing costs, all 
excess proceeds will be donated to the Northern California DX Foundation.

We hope this leads to a larger activation in 2026.

? ? ? ? ?rently on hold ?due to ?heavy rainfall, ?which makes island ?travel
? ? ? ? ?difficult ?and unsafe", Sarath, VU2RS ?says. ?"We will revisit ?and
? ? ? ? ?schedule ?these expeditions ?only ?after the ?VU7 DXpedition" ?(see
? ? ? ? ?below).
VU7 ? ?- The DX India Foundation will undertake a DXpedition to ?Agatti (AS-
? ? ? ? ?011), Lakshadweep Islands on ?10-22 January.? A multi-national team
? ? ? ? ?(so far ?VU24ADX , VU29AR, ?VU2DWA, VU2RS, VU3DXA, ?VU3GDS, ?DJ5IW,
? ? ? ? ?DL6KVA, EY8MM, R7KW, YT1AD) ?will operate CW, SSB and FT8 (F/H) ?on
? ? ? ? ?160-10 metres with four stations and a focus on 160, 80, and 40m. A
? ? ? ? ?fifth station ?will be dedicated ?to 6m and QO-100. QSL via M0OXO's
? ? ? ? ?OQRS.? Bookmark ?https://vu2rs.com/vu7r ?for more ?information ?and
? ? ? ? ?updates.
XF4 ? ?- On 25 October, Mark (XE1B) will visit Socorro Island (NA-030), ?Re-
? ? ? ? ?villagigedo to meet the new base commander and establish conditions
? ? ? ? ?for an international team with remote capabilities for the future.
? ? ? ? ?Access ?to the base is ?limited ?and ?is only possible ?via a ?Navy
? ? ? ? ?battleship departing from Baja, Mexico.? The voyage takes 36 hours.
? ? ? ? ?The next Navy trip departs on 23 October and returns on 30 October,
? ? ? ? ?giving Mark a five-day window to operate.
? ? ? ? ?Mark has visited the island ?three times ?before (in 1999, 2011 and
? ? ? ? ?2018) and has obtained ?a new licence ?for this trip.? The callsign
? ? ? ? ?will be announced when he is QRV.? He has also obtained ?permission
? ? ? ? ?from the Navy ?and the other two ?regulatory agencies ?to visit the
? ? ? ? ?island and operate.
? ? ? ? ?The operation will have a low profile, demonstrating that a DXpedi-
? ? ? ? ?tion can be carried out with ?minimal impact on the island.? Mark's
? ? ? ? ?focus will be on making as many ATNO contacts as possible ?in order
? ? ? ? ?to lower ?XF4's rank ?in demand.? He will bring four antennas, ?two
? ? ? ? ?radios and a linear amplifier. He will operate SSB and FT8 simulta-
? ? ? ? ?neously,without automated FT8 QSOs. There are uncertainties regard-
? ? ? ? ?ing Internet access, so contacts will not be streamed.
? ? ? ? ?QSLs will be available via Club Log's OQRS only; ?QSOs will be ?up-
? ? ? ? ?loaded to LoTW as OQRS requests are processed.? Any excess proceeds
? ? ? ? ?will be donated to the ?Northern California DX Foundation.? The aim
? ? ? ? ?of this visit is to pave the way for a larger activation in 2026.
Z6 ? ? - Milan S58MU as Z68MU ?(QSL via home call) ?and ?Silvo S50X as Z68WW
? ? ? ? ?will be active from ?Gjilan, Kosovo ?from 23 October to 3 November.
? ? ? ? ?They will operate SSB and CW on ?160-10 metres, ?including an entry
? ? ? ? ?in the CQ WW DX SSB Contest as Z68MU.? On 1-2 November, ?during the
? ? ? ? ?IPARC ?Contest ?(https://dl0ipa.darc.de/Contest.htm) ?they will use
? ? ? ? ?Z66IPA (QSL via S58MU, direct or bureau). [TNX S58MU]

PACIFIC TOUR ---> Rudi, DK7PE's third Pacific DXpedition ?(25 October-19 No-
vember) ?[425DXN 1797] ?will include ?activity ?from Guam (KG6/AH0G), ?Palau
(T8), ?Micronesia (V6CW), ?the Marshall Islands (V7), and ?possibly ?Western
Kiribati (T30RK).? He will operate CW only with 100 watts and wire antennas.
"It will be a mixture of DXpedition, antenna experimenting and meeting local
radio amateurs", he says.? Details will be posted to https://www.rooody.de/.
QSLs via home call.

E51MWA ---> The ?team ?on ?Manihiki Atoll (OC-014), ?North Cook Islands ?was
forced ?to go QRT ?at 17 UTC ?on ?14 October, ?which was ?much earlier ?than
planned.? It was a Murphy-stricken DXpedition. Just 12 hours after the start
of the activity, the solar plant experienced a drop in voltage and the back-
up generator ?did not start as expected, ?resulting in a ?power outage ?that
lasted several hours. Over the next few days, ?a power strip failed, one ra-
dio stopped working and the high-power bandpass filters for 17 and 12 metres
failed and had to be taken out of line.? Finally, another ?power outage ?oc-
curred in the local early hours of 14 October.? A "technician came ?to start
the backup generator and went home", ?but ?at some point ?"the generator and
the building caught fire" ?and burned down. ?"The damage ?has been assessed,
and it has been determined ?that ?the village will be ?without power for the
next three to four months.? Without power options the team had no choice but
to go QRT". [Source: https://www.e51mwa.com]

shipped from Italy to Canada via courier.? Meanwhile, he will upload to LoTW
all QSOs for those who requested direct QSL cards.

*BoatAnchors and New Radios Welcome! *
You need not operate a Classic rig to participate in the CX. You may use 
any rig in the contest
although using new gear is a distinct scoring disadvantage as your 
multipliers are directly related to the
age of the equipment you use!
*
The Classic Exchange CW* will be: Sunday Oct 26 1300Z to Oct 27 0700Z 
and Tuesday Oct 28 1300Z to Oct 29 0700Z

Objective: Encourage the restoration, operation, and enjoyment of radio 
equipment that was the pride and joy of our ham shacks decades ago. This 
includes commercial, home-brew, and military radios. The state of the 
art radios of yesteryear are now the classic radios of today! Get a cup 
of coffee, watch the filaments glow, dip the plate and peak the load, 
and enjoy two weekends of classic radio enjoyment!

Entry Categories: There are two categories, categories count for both CW 
and phone individually:
A: Three or fewer receiver-transmitter pairs
B: Four or more receiver-transmitter pairs

Suggested frequencies up or down: NO WARC bands allowed!
1.810, 3.545, 7.035 and 7.100 ? 7.125, 14.045, 21.045, 28.045, 50.095, 
144.100

Howdy DXers,

I apologize again for being incommunicado for a while.? I have several 
issues that have taken over my time.

1) First and foremost, I have been diagnosed with Venous Insufficiency 
Syndrome.? I have 2 large ulcers on my right leg that are not healing.? 
This is the leg that I busted up into many pieces 45 years ago, on a 
motorcycle.? The wonderful orthopedic surgeons were able to put it back 
together, requiring 18 surgeries, and it has been relatively trouble 
free for 45 years, but it's now giving me trouble.? I have had many 
doctor visits with wound care specialists and vascular surgeons and they 
recommend surgery within the next few weeks.

2) The attorneys that were paid $2,000, were supposed to file the Annual 
Return to the court, and later, the Petition to Close the Estate.? After 
providing all Estate Account statements, spreadsheets, accounting 
ledgers and emails to the heirs, to the attorneys, they totally messed 
up the Return.? The court is demanding to amend the return, to the 
court's satisfaction or personally appear to the court in Georgia.? Not fun!

3) As most know, I have been working hard on building a trading 
business, since Social Security alone doesn't even come close to 
providing enough income.? This has taken a tremendous amount of time as 
well.

With these issues ongoing, many things have had to give.

Unfortunately, these issues with SFDXA have suffered:

1) I had no time to plan our October SFDXA Picnic.? Additionally with 
Phil K4OMD and Els, his XYL, moving back to Belgium, we would have had t 
make other plans for food and drinks.? Maybe we can plan a winter picnic 
instead of our October Fall picnic.

2) We need a BoD meeting before the November meeting, which is quickly 
approaching. I will send out an email to our officers shortly to make 
that happen.? The main focus of the BoD meeting is how to increase 
membership and having members attend the meetings in-person.? I have 
been provided many ideas, but ideas from the membership are welcome.

3) Setting up the club station for remote operation at the hospital is 
proving to be very difficult.? We need a static IP address and a direct 
connection to the internet.? Getting the new owners of the hospital to 
aid in this, looks like a pipe dream. Jeff WB3ISP inquired if any 
members lived close enough to the hospital to provide a microwave link.? 
So far, we have no solution.

4) I had hoped to have our website updated and our membership list 
automated by this time.

5) We need to plan for our Holiday Party.? With Mark K2AU being 
incommunicado as well, I will need some help with that.

6) We need a speaker for our November meeting.

Hopefully we can get back on track shortly.

Very 73,
Randy N4QV

As everyone knows, K4FK has been off of the air for a while.? We found 
that the antenna was taking in water and the reflected power at the 
repeater was 10-12 watts.? While the repeater was still working, this 
was excessive, so a new antenna was ordered and received.

While waiting for better weather to change out the antenna, the PA 
failed.? The reflected power had doubled to over 20 watts, causing the 
PA to fail.? Now the repeater was completely off of the air.

Elliot Gross KB2TZ and Bill Marx W2CQ made it to the site to replace the 
PA and antenna.? The mount for the Ham Radio antenna didn't fit the 
commercial mount.? Elliot said that he would have to fabricate a mount 
and jumper to install the antenna.? The PA was replaced with a new one.? 
However to prevent the destruction of the new PA, the repeater was 
powered down.? Hopefully soon, we will have the necessary mountings to 
install the new antenna and get the repeater back on the air.

Updates upcoming!

Very 73,
Randy N4QV

  K1LZ Open letter 3Y0K

  * Published2025-10-22 16:00:00

An Open Letter to the DX Community from Krassy Petkov, K1LZ 21 October 2025


As many of you know, it was both my dream and my honor to join the team 
planning to activate 3Y0K Bouvet Island in February 2026. To make this 
possible, I recruited K3JO,LU9ESD, RN5M, and JT1CO to join me in this 
effort, and I personally contributed $120,000 to cover both their 
participation and mine.
In addition, K3JO, LU9ESD, RN5M, and I built all the Yagi vertical 
antennas, towers, and supporting equipment that were to be used at 3Y0K 
? representing an additional personal out-of-pocket expense of about 
$100,000. It took us over three months of hard work and dedication to 
complete everything.
I also secured major sponsorships and equipment deals:
? From Icom America, twelve IC-7610 transceivers and four IC-7300s.
? From ACOM, twelve amplifiers.
? I personally provided a full set of antennas for both camps, including 
fourteen Yagis, two verticals for 160 m, two 4-square arrays for 80 m 
and two for 40 m, verticals for 30 m, tribanders, dual-banders, filter 
sets for all bands, duplexers, triplexers, and more ? plus nearly 30 
waterproof cases, all purchased out of my own pocket.
All this equipment was shipped to Norway for loading into the container 
that is now en route to Bouvet. I took full responsibility for ensuring 
the technical success of this expedition ? and I fulfilled 100% of that 
responsibility.
Over the past several months, I repeatedly asked Ken (LA7GIA) to share 
with the team a financial statement ? including a cash-flow report and a 
profit-and-loss summary ? for the 3Y0K expedition. My intention was 
simple: to ensure transparency for all team members and to organize a 
collective meeting to review the final preparations ? and, if necessary, 
to coordinate financial or logistical support.
Instead of responding to these reasonable requests and calling a team 
meeting, Ken asked me for an additional $90,000 to cover a supposed 
budget shortfall. At other times, he also asked for extra contributions 
of $7,000 per operator from K1LZ, LU9ESD, K3JO, and RN5M. I agreed to 
this second request because he said that all team members would be asked 
to do the same.
These questions apparently made the leadership uncomfortable ? but I 
asked them because I began to feel that what they really wanted from me 
was my name, my contacts, and my money. Sadly, it seems I was not wrong.
Additionally, I asked LA7GIA several times to disclose to the entire 
team the names of the private donors and the specific contractual terms 
under which they were contributing to 3Y0K? reportedly at a level of 
$800,000.
Isn?t it concerning to travel to such a remote and dangerous island with 
people whose names,
identities, and intentions are completely unknown to us? Don?t we have 
the right to know who they are, what role they will play, and how they 
will provide the $800,000 pledged to the expedition?
Let us not forget that a similar situation occurred during another 
expedition a few years ago,
which had to be terminated prematurely due to serious internal conflicts 
between the amateur radio team and an external group.
I also requested that a team doctor be added to the roster ? something 
that, to my knowledge, every major expedition of this magnitude has 
always included. Having a medical professional should be an absolute 
priority. We must not forget that serious accidents have already 
happened in past operations ? I almost lost my life after falling from a 
tower that had been improperly secured by an inexperienced person.
Finally, I asked for confirmation regarding the second, higher camp 
location that had originally been planned for better propagation toward 
North America.
I was later told that this second site was no longer being considered, 
even though it continued to appear on the official 3Y0K website. In 
reality, from a topographic and propagation perspective, both sites are 
nearly identical ? and unfortunately, both are among the worst possible 
locations on the island.
The supposed ?North American camp? appears to have been nothing more 
than a marketing narrative to attract NA sponsors. Without that story, 
it is doubtful anyone would have trusted the same leadership team that 
had already failed once before in their previous Bouvet attempt.
That is why I decided to get involved ? because, whether the leadership 
likes it or not, my team specializes in this field. We build some of the 
most successful radio stations in the world.
We are not better than anyone else ? we simply have experience and 
proven results.
If anyone felt offended by that, I sincerely regret it. But the facts 
speak for themselves: Roman (RN5M) has been doing this professionally 
for over 25 years, and Manu (LU9ESD) has worked alongside him for the 
past four. Velimir (K3JO), with his background as an electronic 
engineer, has been a pioneer in radio station automation and is the only 
person I know who can solve absolutely any problem that arises in that 
field. In past expeditions, he has repaired transceivers, amplifiers, 
and all kinds of electronic equipment, allowing us to continue operating 
without interruption.
But I don?t need to say much more about them ? the whole world knows 
these names, and they have earned the respect of the community for what 
they have done and continue to do for amateur radio.
In all the above situations, I was met with resistance and silence. Ken 
refused to provide the requested information, yet continued to pressure 
me for an additional $90,000.
That amount originated from an informal conversation we had last year in 
Friedrichshafen, where I mentioned that if funding was still short 
toward the end, I might be able to help.
Since the leadership group failed to raise the necessary funds ? perhaps 
due to their damaged reputation and lack of trust within the community ? 
Ken later included that $90,000 as a contractual obligation for me, 
adding a special clause in the agreement.
It was a bold and calculated move ? one that, in hindsight, seems to 
have been part of the plan from the very beginning. My biggest mistake 
was signing that contract without carefully reading it, believing that 
amongteammates, we would never deceive one another.
Neither I nor anyone on my team ever received an invitation or 
communication to attend the workshops or participate in the container 
loading in Norway, which makes it clear that our presence was never 
truly welcome.
This past week, I was officially informed that I am no longer a member 
of the 3Y0K DXpedition, because I refused to provide the extra $90,000 
and because I was ?asking too many questions.? I was told my personal 
$30,000 initial contribution would be refunded, and I was instructed to 
publicly announce that I was leaving the expedition ?for personal reasons.?
Since that statement is not true, I have chosen not to comply with this 
request.
K3JO, LU9ESD, RN5M, and JT1CO have been told they may still participate 
if they wish, and I will fully respect whatever decision they make. As 
of this writing, however, it appears that none of them will be going to 
Bouvet.
Still, I find it highly suspicious that this decision came immediately 
after the leadership group received everything they had been waiting for 
? the antennas, the radios, and all the equipment I personally ensured 
reached them. Once they had everything they needed, I suddenly became 
expendable.
Obviously, I am deeply disappointed by this outcome. I want to sincerely 
thank the many
members of the DX community who supported me and looked forward to 
seeing my team and me on Bouvet ? particularly on the low bands, where 
we were committed to ensuring complete worldwide coverage.
I share the same disappointment that many of you will feel after reading 
this. But please believe me ? I, too, feel used, deceived, and 
profoundly disillusioned.
To all who have supported me for decades: thank you for your confidence, 
friendship, and faith in my team. Those who know me understand how much 
I love this hobby, and that for many years I have been helping and 
contributing to make it better and better ? but from now on, with far 
greater caution about who I choose to work with.
My name, honor, and dignity remain intact ? as does my love for amateur 
radio.
73 and see you on the bands,
Krassy Petkov, K1LZ

ARLP040 The ARRL Solar Report

Solar activity reached moderate levels this past week, but has now 
returned to, and remains at, lower levels. Region 4248 produced an M1.1 
flare on October 20, which was the largest event of the period. Region 
4261 was numbered this period as it rotated into better viewing conditions.

Region 4262 was numbered this period as well, splitting it from Region 
4257. Additionally, new spots were noted near N08W00 and N09E67 but went 
unnumbered due to a lack of flaring and time of emergence. No 
Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery. 
Solar activity is expected to remain low, with a chance for isolated 
M-class flares (R1-R2/minor-moderate).

Additional notable activity included a type II radio sweep with an 
estimated speed of 2,474 km/s and a type IV radio sweep that began on 
October 21. Significant field line movement, appearing to originate from 
beyond the northwestern limb, was observed in GOES SUVI imagery 
beginning on October 21. The subsequent coronal mass ejection (CME) was 
then first seen on LASCO C2 coronagraph imagery on October 21. This 
event has been analyzed as a far-sided asymmetric halo.

Solar wind parameters were mildly enhanced this period due to negative 
polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) influences. Solar wind 
speeds exhibited a decreasing trend from approximately 600 km/s to under 
500 km/s by the period's end. Phi was predominantly positive while 
undertaking brief excursions into the positive solar sector. Mildly 
enhanced solar wind conditions and waning negative polarity CH HSS 
influences were expected to continue.

Solar activity is expected to be at moderate levels from October 31 to 
November 15 due to the return of Region 4246. Low levels are expected to 
prevail to October 30, and then on November 14 and 15. Geomagnetic field 
activity is expected to reach G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) storm levels on 
October 28 to 30.

Weekly Commentary on the Sun, the Magnetosphere, and the Earth's 
Ionosphere, October 23, 2025, by F. K. Janda, OK1HH:

"Although it may not seem so at first glance, solar activity is still at 
the peak of its 25th cycle. Although the number of sunspot groups fell 
to six in mid-October, a week later it had risen to ten. Few eruptions 
were observed on the solar disk, or the side of the Sun facing Earth, 
including only a few that could be classified as moderately strong based 
on the intensity of X-ray emissions.

"However, something is brewing on the far side of the Sun. This is 
evidenced by the occurrence of three CMEs, the first on October 21 and 
the other two on October 22. The increased concentration of protons with 
an energy of 10 MeV (and a lower concentration of 100 MeV) in the solar 
wind confirms that this is significant activity. To analyze the 
development of the relevant activity, we will have to wait until it 
appears on the eastern limb of the solar disk.

"The geomagnetic field has calmed down in recent days. The next 
disturbance is expected around October 28. At first glance, this is very 
good news for shortwave propagation conditions during the weekend of 
October 25-26, but if geomagnetic activity increases during these days, 
it will come as no surprise.

"In fact, with the right timing of the disturbance, it could be followed 
by an increase in MUF and an overall improvement. Although a significant 
deterioration in propagation conditions is expected with a relatively 
high probability only after the aforementioned disturbance (i.e., around 
October 29), it may occur earlier."

The Predicted Planetary A Index for October 25 to 31 is 10, 5, 5, 25, 
35, 25, and 15, with a mean of 17.1. Predicted Planetary K Index is 3, 
2, 2, 5, 6, 5, and 4, with a mean of 3.9. 10.7-centimeter flux is 150, 
150, 150, 145, 145, 145, and 140, with a mean of 146.4.

stability in the postal service will continue.
Cezar, VE3LYC ?has arranged for the blank QSL cards to be shipped from Italy
by courier service, ?and they are scheduled to arrive on ?29 October. ?"I am
currently working on preparing the QSO labels and the envelopes ?to reply to
the direct QSL requests received ?once the cards arrive", he says.? He plans
to ?"mail all the direct requests in one batch ?by driving with them ?across
the border and send them from the United States.? I urge those who postponed
requesting their cards via Club Log's OQRS ?to do it sooner rather than lat-
er.? I will only take one trip to the States, most likely in early November.
Any future mailing will be made through Canada Post".

 From ARRL HQ

Important Notice: Emergency Frequencies ? Keep Clear During Contest Weekend
As the Caribbean faces potential hurricane impacts, IARU Region 2 has 
activated emergency nets on the following frequencies:

40 meters: 7.198 MHz and 7.098 MHz

20 meters: 14.198 MHz

If the Hurricane Watch Net (HWN) activates, they will be operating on:

14.325 MHz

7.268 MHz

The amateur radio station at the National Hurricane Center, WX4NHC, will 
also be monitoring the HWN frequencies for real-time weather and 
situation reports.

This weekend coincides with the CQ World Wide SSB Contest, one of the 
busiest times on the bands. All operators are urged to exercise extra 
vigilance and avoid transmitting on or near these emergency and 
hurricane watch frequencies.

These nets are providing critical communication links supporting the 
Caribbean Islands and affected regions. Please ensure they have clear 
and reliable access to designated frequencies.

In summary:

Keep clear of 7.198, 7.098, 7.268, 14.198, and 14.325 MHz

Be aware of possible emergency or health-and-welfare traffic on nearby 
frequencies

Operate responsibly and help maintain open frequencies for those 
supporting hurricane response efforts.

  W0W! It?s that time again!

The DVRA will be marking the 87th anniversary of the Orson Welles 
broadcast of the*War of the Worlds on October 30, 1938*, with a special 
event station, W?W.

In the broadcast, Martian invaders first landed in Grovers Mill, NJ (in 
West Windsor township). The DVRA will be operating W?W on Sunday, 
October 26th from Noon to 5PM in Vant Nest Park (218 Cranbury Rd, West 
Windsor Township, NJ 08550). Van Nest Park is located in Grovers Mill. 
This will be a rain or shine event. We will be setting up under the 
picnic pavilion in the park. Stop on by to operate W?W or just to check 
out the action.

We will be setting up two stations operating either SSB or CW. We need 
folks to help operate W?W as well as setting up and taking down the 
stations before and after the event. Set-up begins at 11AM.

For SSB, we will try to have two people operating the station (one on 
the mic and the second doing the computer logging) in half hour shifts. 
CW ops, please bring your own straight key/bug/paddles. CW ops will need 
to do your own logging.

Tin foil hats will be optional on the 26th.

Hurricane Melissa is currently an extremely strong category 5 hurricane 
with sustained winds of 175 MPH!? It is also a very slow moving storm 
which will dump feet of water on Jamaica.? It is by far the strongest 
storm to hit Jamaica.

I will be going to the hospital tomorrow AM to monitor the hurricane 
watch frequencies.

If anyone wants to assist, you can reach me on my phone at 954-806-3699.

I pray for those folks in the sights of this storm.? I personally had 
2.5 feet of salt water in my house with Andrew in 1992, so I have an 
acute? awareness of what hey will be going though.

I was listening to 14.325 at ~2300 tonight and heard a US NCS calling but
no reply from anyone.

The hurricane Hunter aircraft reported winds at 205MPH.

News says it is moving slowly so more time to destroy everything.

I'll listen again tomorrow AM

I'm listening to 14.325MHz, the National Hurricane Net is active.

Also listening to 14.300MHz, the Maritime net.

Sounds like the hurricane is over Jamaica now.

Message-ID: <fa149e54-5b7c-436d-8a5a-3c5f226f1dff@bellsouth.net>


    Today we received exciting information from Icom regarding the price
    of the new Icom IC-7300MK2
    <https://www.gigaparts.com/icom-ic-7300mk2-100w-hf-50mhz-sdr-transceiver.html>!
    We expect this radio to launch at $1,499.95 USD.

    FCC certification is still pending and we do not have a firm date on
    when to expect IC-7300 Mark II
    <https://www.gigaparts.com/icom-ic-7300mk2-100w-hf-50mhz-sdr-transceiver.html>
    to arrive at our warehouse currently. From what we understand, there
    may be limited units available by the holiday season 2025, but
    readily available stock may not arrive until after the new year. If
    you're interested in this radio, now is the time to make sure you
    have a reservation in place. You can reserve the Icom IC-7300MK2
    <https://www.gigaparts.com/icom-ic-7300mk2-100w-hf-50mhz-sdr-transceiver.html>
    now at GigaParts, risk-free (fully refundable deposit if you change
    your mind) and with a low price guarantee!

    *Key New Features of the Icom IC-7300MK2*

      * Improved RMDR and Phase Noise Characteristics
      * Lower Heat Generation and Lower Power Consumption
      * HDMI? Port for an External Display
      * Built-in CW Decoder
      * Simplified RS-BA1 Remote Control with Ethernet connector
      * USB Type-C? with Dual COM + Audio
      * RX Antenna IN/OUT Connectors

    If you've been on the fence about the IC-7300
    <https://www.gigaparts.com/icom-ic-7300.html> and the IC-7300MK2,
    you've now got the price to weigh in on the differences between the
    2 radios ($999.95 after rebate vs $1,499.95). We still have the Icom
    IC-7300 <https://www.gigaparts.com/icom-ic-7300.html> in-stock and
    ready to ship if you feel the features vs price don't justify it. As
    other have stated before, once the IC-7300 is gone, we will only
    have the IC-7300MK2
    <https://www.gigaparts.com/icom-ic-7300mk2-100w-hf-50mhz-sdr-transceiver.html>
    available going forward as we understand - so now is still an
    excellent time to grab the OG Icom IC-7300
    <https://www.gigaparts.com/icom-ic-7300.html> if it fits your needs!

*ARRL advocates for you every day?in Washington and internationally. 
But, we need your help. *

Now, more than ever, there have been *active efforts to restrict and 
change* access to amateur radio spectrum. There is a call to *rewrite 
the federal code*. Corporate interests want to *auction radio spectrum*. 
This is why the ARRL keeps vigilant watch and maintains key 
relationships in Washington, with regulators and lawmakers, to protect 
amateur radio.

The costs to keep this fight and protect your spectrum are staggering. 
Membership dues can?t do it alone. And that?s why we need your support. 
ARRL has:

  * Filed comments to *Protect the 70-Centimeter* Amateur Band
  * Held strong to Defend the 902-928 MHz Amateur Radio Band
  * Responded to the FCC Public Notice ?*In Re: Delete, Delete, Delete*?
    recommending:

? Symbol Rate and Bandwidth Limits on LF and VHF/UHF be removed

? Modernization of Technician Privileges

? Modernization the 80/75 Meter Subband Divisions

? Replacement of Obsolete Digital Code Limits

? Adoption of WRC-03 Third Party Rules

? Amplifier Drive Modernization

25 October 2025 A.R.I. DX Bulletin
No 1799
===========================
*** 4 2 5 D X N E W S ***
**** DX INFORMATION ****
===========================
Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH
Direttore Responsabile I2VGW
4X - 4X0VK (31 October-1 November), 4X0ZL (7-8 November) and 4X0UK (10-
11 November) are the special callsigns for three field radio opera-
tions commemorating the British and ANZAC forces that fought during
World War I in pre-state Israel. QSL all stations via 4X6ZM.
6O - The 6O3T DXpedition failed to get on the air in September 2024,
with the operators describing that experience as "definitely trau-
matic". Now a new team (Fabrizio IV3JPP, Mauro IV3AZV and Elvira
IV3FSG), with "a renewed awareness of the territory and a stronger
operational strategy", has been active as 6O3T from northern Soma-
lia since 20 October. They have five stations for activity on 160-6
metres FT8 (MSHV), SSB and CW, but so far they have operated almost
exclusively FT8: "we are facing a very high level of local QRM,
with background noise consistently above S9" they say, "which makes
it extremely difficult to properly copy signals and manage an
effective pile-up". None of the various mitigation solutions that
have been tested, including filtering systems, improved grounding
and antenna setup checks, has produced a significant improvement.
"In the coming days, we will continue to test new configurations
and operating strategies, with the goal of returning to CW and SSB
as soon as conditions make it realistically possible". Plans are
for 6O3T to remain active until 3 November.
QSL via Club Log's OQRS (direct and bureau), or direct only to
IV3DSH; full upload to LoTW 12 months after the DXpedition. Book-
mark https://dxexplorer.net/ for updates.
9L - During the Mediterraneo DX Club's DXpedition to Sierra Leone (30
October-10 November), there will be a separate activity taking
place on Banana Island (AF-037). To avoid any confusion with the
ongoing 9L8MD operations from the mainland, the IOTA activity will
use the callsign 9L9L. From 2 November onwards, teams of two will
take it in turns to stay on the island for three days (two nights)
in a local resort. Look for 9L9L to be QRV on 40-6 metres. QSL via
IK2VUC.
CN - Eddy, OE3SEU will be active as CN2SE/p while touring Morocco in his
motorhome between 1 November and 7 December. Activity will be on
the QO-100 satellite. QSL via LoTW. Follow his travels - and give

EUDXF ACTIVITY MONTH ---> Celebrating the 39th anniversary of the European
DX Foundation, a number of special callsigns will be activated between 1 and
30 November: DL39EUDXF (Germany); DU39EUDXF (Philippines); HA39EUDXF (Hun-
gary); OR39EUDXF (Belgium); PA39EUDXF, PB39EUDXF, PC39EUDXF, PD39EUDXF,
PE39EUDXF, PF39EUDXF, PG39EUDXF, PH39EUDXF, PI39EUDXF (Netherlands);
VI39EUDXF (Australia); YL39EUDXF (Latvia). QSL via operators' instructions.
An award will be available for QSOs made with these and possibly other spe-
cial callsigns; information will be available on https://www.eudxf.eu/.
QSL 3G1P & AT2AH ---> The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has moved from a
full, national strike to rotating strikes. As a result, uncertainty and in-
stability in the postal service will continue.
Cezar, VE3LYC has arranged for the blank QSL cards to be shipped from Italy
by courier service, and they are scheduled to arrive on 29 October. "I am
currently working on preparing the QSO labels and the envelopes to reply to
the direct QSL requests received once the cards arrive", he says. He plans
to "mail all the direct requests in one batch by driving with them across
the border and send them from the United States. I urge those who postponed
requesting their cards via Club Log's OQRS to do it sooner rather than lat-
er. I will only take one trip to the States, most likely in early November.
Any future mailing will be made through Canada Post".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
QSLs received direct or through managers: 3C3W (AF-010), 3V8LL (AF-083),
4S7AB, 4S7KM, 7Q7CT, 9A925T, A62A, CX5UA, E6AM, HI7WWA, HI8WWA, HZ1LR,

QSL 3G1P & AT2AH ---> Originally scheduled to be delivered by the courier on
29 October [425DXN 1799], ?"the package of QSL cards from Alfio (IT9EJW) ?is
now supposed to arrive to me on ?3 November", VE3LYC says.? The delay is due
to the increased volume levels as ?the Canadian Union of Postal Workers' ro-
tating strikes continue.? Cezar plans to send all the direct requests in one
batch by ?driving them across the border ?and posting them ?from ?the United
States. He urges anyone who has put off requesting their cards to do so now,
as ?he will only be making ?one trip.? Any future mailings ?will be made via
Canada Post.

RI0SP ---> Oleg, RD1A ?is participating in the ?North Pole-42 ?expedition to
the ?Arctic ?onboard the ?"Severny Polyus" ?("North Pole"), ?a ?large ?self-
propelled drifting research vessel replacing the drifting ice stations built
on ice floes. He operated as RI42SP from 5 October 2025 through August 2025,
and has been active as RI0SP since 1 September. This callsign is valid until
31 August 2026. QSL via RN3RQ.

WINQSL ---> First released in 1995, the software originated from a ?QSL Man-
ager listing on paper from 1982. The latest version, accompanied by the most
recent ?dbase update ?(28 ?October ?2025), ?can ?be downloaded ?for free ?at
https://www.winqsl.com/. [TNX DF6EX]

XF4B ---> Mark, XE1B operated as XF4B [425DXN 1798] from Socorro Island, Re-
villagigedo, ?going on the air at ?around 21:30 UTC on 27 October ?and going
QRT at around 00:00 UTC on 30 October.? The Mexican Navy ship ?was scheduled
to leave the island ?at 8 a.m. local time (15:00 UTC) ?on the same day.? The
genuine XF4B did not operate FT8 at all, ?so all QSOs with ?'XF4B' must have
been with pirates. The QSOs are expected to be uploaded to Club Log around 3
November.

YASME EXCELLENCE AWARD ---> Established ?in ?2008 ?by ?the ?Yasme Foundation
(https://www.yasme.org/), the Excellence Award ?is presented to ?individuals
and groups who, through their own service, creativity, effort and dedication
have made a significant contribution to amateur radio.? The contribution may
be in recognition of technical, operating or organizational achievement, ?as
all three are necessary for ?amateur radio to grow and ?prosper.? The latest
recipients, announced on 30 October, are:
* Ed Engleman, KG8CX - Yasme recognizes Ed's years of support for young ama-
? teurs through the YACHT program, licensing classes, ?and in-person mentor-
? ing.? Many of today's top young operators and leaders benefited from their
? participation in the YACHT community.
* Don Jones, K6ZO - Don has played ?an instrumental role ?in ?developing ?an
? active ?young amateur community ?in Malawi.? The enthusiasm ?of the ?young
? operators is inspiring, especially their ability to train and support each
? other as they develop on-the-air experience.
The Board of Directors ?of the ?Yasme Foundation ?has also announced that it
has made a grant to support a portion of ?RM Noise ?operating costs.? The RM
Noise project ?uses AI with the goal of ?removing noise from SSB voice or CW
radio signals: https://ournetplace.com/rm-noise/. [TNX K4ZW]

ARLP041 The ARRL Solar Report

Solar activity has decreased to very low levels. Region 4266 exhibited 
signs of slight development as it gained asymmetric penumbra surrounding 
its trailing spots. Meanwhile, Region 4267 underwent decay, losing 
several leading spots. Additional activity included a coronal mass 
ejection (CME) off the NE limb on October 29.

An associated Type II radio sweep was reported with the CME; however, 
SUVI 195 imagery revealed the CME to have originated on the far side. 
Also, an approximate 12-degree filament eruption, centered near N27W24, 
was observed becoming unstable beginning on October 29. Most of the 
material of this event appeared to have been reabsorbed, with perhaps a 
faint and narrow CME escaping. Modeling of this event revealed a 
possible glancing blow to the north of Earth by late on November 2, but 
confidence is low in both the analysis of this event and the modeling 
outcome.

Solar wind parameters continued to reflect positive polarity coronal 
hole high-speed stream (CH HSS) influences. Solar wind parameters are 
expected to continue to reflect positive CH HSS influences through 
November 1.

Weekly Commentary on the Sun, the Magnetosphere, and the Earth's 
Ionosphere, October 30, 2025, by F. K. Janda, OK1HH:

"It is very rare for the situation on the Sun and between it and Earth 
to be as relatively simple and clear as it has been in recent days. This 
is one of the reasons why it was possible to make a fairly accurate 
prediction of further developments. Although there were concerns that an 
intensified solar wind could hit Earth as early as October 26, the 
original forecast ultimately proved accurate, and the disturbance began 
on October 28. The last weekend in October was thus marked by relatively 
good conditions for radio wave propagation on all shortwave bands.

"Regular helioseismological observations of the far side of the Sun are 
closely monitoring the only two currently active regions on the Sun. 
They will begin to emerge on the eastern edge of the solar disk in the 
first half of next week, which will immediately be reflected in an 
increase in solar flux. This may peak around October 10, but it seems 
that it will happen sooner.

"The increase in solar activity during the usual favorable seasonal 
changes alone will result in improved conditions for shortwave 
propagation. With a little luck, the improvement could peak around 
November 8, when the next increase in geomagnetic activity can be expected."

Solar activity is expected to be at moderate levels until November 15 
due to the return of Region 4246. Low levels are expected to prevail 
from November 14 to 22 as multiple regions depart the visible disk.

A greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected 
to be at high levels until November 15 due to responses from recurrent 
CH HSS influences. Moderate levels are expected from November 16 to 22.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet to unsettled 
levels on November 1 to 6, 10 to 14, and November 16 to 22. Active 
conditions are expected from November 7 to 9 and November 15.
