ce from 14:00 on Saturday 26 November 2022 at the Cinder City Moth Shellho

HERE IS A QUESTION FOR YOU?

Do you know what a chaser is, or that mountain goats can climb more than
450 vertical metres in 20 minutes and can withstand temperatures as low a
s minus 46 degrees centigrade and winds up to 160 kilometres per hour. Doe
s this sound interesting, but you are unsure of how this relates to amat
eur radio? Then it is best that you diarise to join the Sandton Power Hou
r Tech Talk at 18h45 CAT on Thursday 24 November, where you will be able
to both see and hear the very rare ZS SOTA Mountain Goats. Visit the SARL
upcoming events page for all the details.

e of our delicious hamburgers.

ARRL HANDBOOK 2023 PRE-ORDER NOW

The 2023 ARRL Handbook is the 100th anniversary edition. The Amateur Radio
Development Trust bookshop is taking pre-orders for the 6-volume set. Wit
h the exchange rate being volatile it is impossible to quote a final price

pre-order a copy, a payment of R2000 is required. The closing date for
pre-order and EFT payment is Friday 18 November 2022. Once the books arri

o pre-ordered and paid the R2000 deposit will be advised of the final pric
e and requested to submit the balance. In the event that the price plus th
e R120 Postnet fee is less a refund will be made. Delivery is expected to
be not later than the second week December. The order form is available o
n www.sarl.org.za. The softcover version in a single book is only availabl
e from the ARRL.

PROPAGATION REPORT

Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP, reports that the solar activity is expected to
be at low to moderate levels. There are currently 3 sunspots with simple
to complex magnetic configurations visible. There is a high probability f
or C-class and a low probability for M-class flaring.
If you want to do your own frequency predictions, the expected effective
sunspot number for the week will be around 76. The 10 to 30 m bands will
, especially in the late afternoon, provide some good DX fun. Please v

Die 2023 ARRL-Handboek is die 100ste herdenking-uitgawe. Die Amateur Radio
Ontwikkelingstrust-boekwinkel neem vooraf bestellings vir die 6-volume st
el. Met die wissel koers wat wisselvallig is, is dit onmoontlik om 'n fi
nale prys aan te haal. Werk aan die ergste scenario, kan die koste sowat
R2 500 beloop. Om 'n kopie vooraf te bestel, word 'n deposito van R2 00
0 vereis. Die sluitingsdatum vir vooraf bestelling en EFT-betaling is Vryd
ag 18 November 2022. Sodra die boeke arriveer en deur doeane is, sal die
finale prys bereken word en persoon wat die R2 000-deposito vooraf bestel
en betaal het, sal van die finale prys in kennis gestel word en versoek
word om die balans te betaal. Indien die prys plus die R120 Postnet-fooi
minder is, sal 'n terug betaling gemaak word. Aflewering sal na verwagt
ing nie later as die tweede week Desember wees nie. Die bestel vorm is bes
kikbaar by www.sarl.org.za. Die sagte band weergawe in 'n enkele boek is s
legs by die ARRL beskikbaar.

HF VOORTPLANTINGSVOORSPELLING

Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP, berig dat die verwagte sonaktiwiteitsvlak laag
gaan wees. Tans is daar 3 sonvlekke met eenvoudige tot gevorderde magneti
ese samestellings sigbaar. Daar is 'n hoë waarskynlikheid vir die voo
rkoms van C-klas fakkels en 'n lae moontlikheid van M-klas sonfakkels. Die
gene wat hulle eie frekwensie voorspellings wil doen, kan 'n verwagte ef
fektiewe sonvlektelling van 76 vir die week gebruik. Radio amateurs kan ve
ral laat middag goeie DX openinge op die 10 tot 30 m bande verwag. Besoek
