SPACEWEATHER WEEKLY - GD DX in 2025  View Printable Version 
Saturday, December 28 2024

HCDX
Although a large and complex group of sunspots appeared on the
south-eastern edge of the sun last weekend, there was initially no
significant increase in solar activity. This changed on Monday morning,
when the new sunspot AR3932 erupted and a M8.9 flare flashed, only just
short of an X flare in intensity. However, contrary to all expectations,
the eruption only led to a brief shortwave blackout over Africa and the
South Atlantic, which was only noticeable up to the 17 m band.

A coronal mass ejection (CME) observed in connection with the eruption
did have a component directed towards the Earth in initial prediction
models. However, the CME ultimately missed our planet. And the
geomagnetics were mostly calm from the middle of the week onwards. There
were still more active phases at the start of the week. This was caused
by CME effects and a fast solar wind that shook the Earth's magnetic field.

Calm to unsettled conditions with the chance of isolated active periods
are expected for the next few days, due to possible streak effects from
a CME that left the sun on December 24, as well as weak, positively
polarized fast solar winds from a coronal hole.

In terms of solar activity, the solar flux index will remain above the
threshold of 230 units for the next seven days. In summary, this
promises good DX conditions on all bands!

And what about 2025? Have we already experienced the sunspot maximum of
solar cycle 25? It may already have happened, sometime between July and
November, as solar activity has been trending downwards since late
summer. In the last few days, however, the solar flux has increased
significantly again, with many M flares raising the flux to over 250 units.

If we look at the course of several cycles, we can see that some have
very active final phases. Many of the cycles have double peaks. With a
little optimism, we should assume that a double peak will also occur in
cycle 25 and that solar activity is currently in the small valley
between two activity peaks. This would mean that cycle 25 is not yet
over and will increase again in 2025.

The critical F2 frequencies in the mid-latitudes are currently quite
high due to the so-called winter anomaly (see last week's report). And
since the anomalies in the northern and southern hemispheres differ by
six months, the peak in activity should fall in this period.

So there is good reason to hope for a happy new DX year. And that's what
we wish all shortwave enthusiasts for 2025! And always trouble-free
reception, until next Saturday, 73 de Tom DF5JL - with current
information from DK0WCY, SWPC/NOAA, NASA, USAF 557th Weather Wing,
STCE/KMI Belgium, IAP Juliusruh, SANSA South African National Space
Agency, WDC Kyoto, GFZ Potsdam, Met Office UK,

�tf-8?q5BWOR] Media Broadcast B24 schedule: NDR G �tf-8?q?ruß an Bord +  View Printable Version

Re: 67 radio stations

GERMANY Yes, Roger is absolutely right in quoting the budget data of
GermanPublic Radio ARD / ZDF etc.

They have ‘put on fat - let's say in German’ over the last few decades.

Especially the co-centring at NDR Hamburg and WDR Cologne bc houses
in drug sport spying topics and similar political spying
in elaborate journalism temas has created a big contrast
to fair journalism some 50 years ago...
let’s say like (US) RIAS Berlin or Bayerischer Rundfunk Munich.

Perhaps there is a very simple reason: money

Public broadcasting in this country is currently being criticized for
wasting a lot of money and now has to tighten its belt.

Two recording locations cost more than one, and so they are limiting
themselves to Hamburg.

Yes, that will be it.


https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rundfunkbeitrag

The contribution revenue of around 8.6 billion euros in 2022 was used to
finance 22 television stations, 67 radio stations and a large number
of online platforms with a total of more than 25,000 permanent
employees, as well as the supervisory authorities for private
broadcasting (state media authorities).

Deutsche Welle, on the other hand, is financed directly from taxpayers'
money.

Indian Ocean  View Printable Version

MADAGASCAR Yes, Madagasikara tx unit 5010 kHz has been down now many
years.

Originate 2 x 50 kW originate twin unit built up in Siemens Vienna -
Austria factory
(help of RIZ Zagreb, Croatia ? )
and erected probably in the mid 80ties at SFBerlin/R Bremen 6190 kHz outlet
(target towards GDR then),
and moved around 1996 year out of Bremen and erected at SWF Rohrdorf -
southern Germany.

I'm visited in 1999 year during a sightseeing tour of our local amateur
radio club P06 Ludwigsburg.

In 1996 year at Rohrdorf tx bcast center,
power level decreased from original 50/30 kW water-cooled
to 10 kW air cooled construction type.

Unit sponsored as aid by the German develop departements;
the Siemens transmitter was finally donated to Madagascar
by SWR Rohrdorf / Germany
and was also built-up there by German technicians,
and was in operation there on 7 and 5 MHz more as a decade from 2004 year or
so .

That would be inconvenient for WRMI already on 5010 - like right now, with
Overcomer.
Mad has been gone from 5010 for many years, but ?? Glenn

Dec 21 - Just to confirm WRMI at 0634 UT, on 5010 kHz.

Remote Kiwi SDR at Reunion Island - no signal.

Remote Kiwi SDR at Johannesburg, RSA - no signal.

Remote Kiwi at Vermont, USA - WRMI with preaching in English.

BTW - YHWH (7475) still being heard with a readable signal at 0640 UT, via
N. Utah remote Kiwi SDR.
