A New Sunspot Emerges

Re: [orari-news] Fw: A New Sunspot Emerges

Yth OM Bam, YB0KO/1
Secara teoritis, periode equinox akan membuat kondisi istimewa yg sama antara northern/southern hemispheres. Memang, pengaruh pembukaannya sudah terbukti dalam 3 minggu ini. QSO Topband (160m) antara stasiun di pantai barat AS --dan Eropa-- dengan VK/ZL terus-menerus terjadi dengan baik. DX Cluster dipenuhi dengan data spot seperti tsb. Stasiun-stasiun VK/ZL bisa 'berpesta' dengan stasiun dari HP, OA, LU lands pada 160m.


Tapi, sayangnya, kondisi itu TIDAK berlaku di musim ini bagi stasiun saya di Cinere. Bila dibandingkan dengan bulan-bulan yang sama di tahun-tahun sebelumnya, periode kali ini adalah lebih buruk. 

DX yang terdengar adalah hanya dari VK, JA dan 9M2. Pada 13 Agustus 2008, saya sempat mendengar sinyal N6TR saat usai Maghrib, WIB. Kuatnya QRN di equatorial zone menjadi penghalang untuk mendengar sinyal dari jauh lainnya.


To call or not to call. That's what (topband) DX is...


Tnx es 73 de Jo, YC0LOW

1 - good news fr DXers:
WELCOME Sunspot Cycle # 24, walopun quote: ....."is an encouraging sign that the 11-year solar cycle is indeed progressing, albeit slowly" ....

2 - btw, mas jo -- EQUINOX ini ada pengaruh significant pd "bukaan" top band nggak, terutama buat qt yg di southern hemisphere dan "ngarepin" bukaan to the northern one?

Space Weather News for Sept. 22, 2008
http://spaceweather.com

NEW SUNSPOT: For the first time in months, a significant sunspot is emerging on the sun. It is a fast-growing active region with two dark cores, each larger than Earth. The magnetic polarity of the sunspot identifies it as a member of new Sunspot Cycle 24. Because the year 2008 has brought so many blank suns, some observers have wondered if we are ever going to climb out of the ongoing deep solar minimum. Today's new sunspot is an encouraging sign that the 11-year solar cycle is indeed progressing, albeit slowly. Visit http://spaceweather.com for sunspot photos and updates.

SEPTEMBER EQUINOX: Seasons on Earth change much faster than they do on the sun. Today, autumn begins in the northern hemisphere and spring in the southern hemisphere when the sun crosses the celestial equator. The crossing, called the "equinox," takes place at 1544 UT (11:44 EDT) on Monday, Sept. 22nd. Happy equinox!
