Again this week solar activity retreated. Average daily sunspot
numbers declined 8.7 points to 49.7, and average daily solar flux
was down nearly 20 points to 97.2. The latest forecast (from Thursday,
November 8) shows solar flux at
105 and 110 on November 9-10, 115 on November 11-17, 110 on November
18-20, 105 and 100 on November 21-22, 105 on November 23-24, and 100
on November 25-26. Flux values then drop below 100 on November 27

Wellington High Student Makes an Important Call -- to Space:

It isn't every day that one gets to interact with an astronaut traveling
17,000 miles per hour nearly 261 miles above Earth on the International
Space Station using a ham radio. But that is just what 11 students and two
teachers from throughout Palm Beach County did on Oct. 30 at the South
Florida Science Museum when they spoke to astronaut Akihiko Hoshide.

I was contacted by several ham operators who read your recent article
regarding Hurricane Sandy response by the Southern Regional High School
shelter workers. As always, the media fail to mention the fact that amateur
radio has been positioned in this event since the first winds kicked up and
has been positioned in the Red Cross shelters as operators 24/7. Many of us
have also lost our homes and power and sacrificed like many others, but we
continue to volunteer because the shelters have requested our presence.

The following is a QST. The German Space
Agency nixes a ham radio mission to Mars but
AMSAT-DL is not giving up on launching the
probe. Also Ireland's national amateur radio
society takes a stand against a proposed pan-
European broadband over powerline standard
and a Los Angeles radio personality says he
will donate a kidney to a station engineer.
Find out the details are on Amateur Radio
