Incoming!

[NQ6U]

CME headed this way (http://spaceweather.com/), due to arrive late Wednesday or early Thursday. Sunspot number now up to 128, BTW, which I guess helps explain the activity on 10m.

One can hope for clear skies...be nice to see another aurora like the display that occurred in Nov. 2003.

that would be cool

I'm trying to find a place where I can get a clear and elevated view North. The one place we had was sold to a private entity that has blocked off all traffic leading to it. Doesn't look like the sky will be cooperating anyway.

Thaanks...
Working from 08.30 in the morning till 23.00 now during this week for the business fair...
Must be my luck...

[N8YX]

Speaking of incoming: The UARS satellite is expected to de-orbit in the next couple days and create a fireball bright enough to be seen in daylight when it does.

Looking at the latest tracks, it appears the Europeans will have front-row seats - and the midwest U.S. may see nothing of it at all.

I'll remember to duck.....

Skylab just missed me.

Bounce radio signals off it's ionization trail.

THATS thinking! Make the most of a radio opportunity! :agree:

[WØTKX]

Can we get a special event call for that?

[ki4itv]

I wonder if K0BAM is taken?

[WØTKX]

KB0OM?

[ki4itv]

OH5HIT would be a rather fitting Finnish callsign...

[ki4itv]

...any fear will do. crank up the fear.
Oh, oh, never fear... FEMA is here. (http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/09/21/fema-prepared-for-dead-nasa-satellites-plunge-to-earth-this-week/)

Hello.

I will be tracking it from my Bell 47.

And I still want a TACO!

Sunspot number now up to 128, BTW, which I guess helps explain the activity on 10m.Listening to the K6FRC 10 watt beacon on 28250 from Tracy CA. 5-3-9 on a butternut ground mounted vertical. Solid signal. Also hear some doggie xray too. Things are looking up.

Today is my Friday, I get off of work in about two hours.

I'd love to get on my rig and find 10 meters wide open. AM anyone?

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

[w2amr]

I'd love to get on my rig and find 10 meters wide open. AM anyone?I heard plenty of starions from the left coast, but not much in between. Even heard an AM qso on 29.0, but signals were really weak.

[w2amr]

I'm listening on 28.4.

[N7YA]

10 is asleep out here right now, unless theres some sporadic stuff. 20 has some stuff on it, but 30 - 40 is my best hope now at 0300z.

[N8YX]

I'm going to start keeping a rig parked on 29.0 when in the shack. Maybe 29.6 FM as well - anyone here have the ability to use the mode?

FWIW, an area club has a repeater on 29.64 - it's PLed, though. I can hit the machine quite easily from my QTH.

I was listening on 29.6 , no static at all.:snicker:

As soon as I get back in the shack tonight I'll park an RX there. I have a tone encoder for my '751A but installing it requires disassembly and reassembly of the rig. Sounds like a winter project.

I hear DX and the west coast again today down the lower end of the band. Nothing on 29/29.6. Maybe the MUF didn't make it that high.

[w2amr]

Heard W6WRE from AZ @2015 on 29.0 Big signal running a HB transmitter 150 watts 3 ele mono up 25'. 15 minutes and he faded into the noise.

[N8YX]

Absolute ton of traffic around 26-28 MHz but nothing at 29.6 - RX now monitoring.

[N7YA]

Lots of beacons, always a good sign.

[W2NAP]

Well, today is the big day for the satellite reentry. Everybuddy keep an eye out.

[ki4itv]

Heads Up! :lol:

[X-Rated]

I remember as a kid one time, we watched some space trash reenter the atmosphere. We were driving down I-35 in Kansas. Quite a spectacle even in daylight.

[ki4itv]

I think www.n2yo.com is tracking this particular satellite today, but I keep getting a busy server message when I try it.

Never seen a reentry myself. Be something to see. I think we're under heavy cloud cover for the weekend, bummer.

Well, for me, it was nothing I had planned for. It just happened.

[PA5COR]

Nice sunny weather, tomorrow the ham radio market to go to after a week of 16 hour working days at the business fair.

Can't be bothered by debris coming down, as knackered as i am now i won't even duck if i saw it incomming....

Sorry, Cor. I guess you get that stereotypical thing a lot from your friends from way across the pond.

I wonder if part of UARS hit your house and caused a lot of damage, if you insurance would cover it or renig. I wonder if you could sue NASA. I wonder who wrote the book of love.

[X-Rated]

Less than 3 hours now.

[NA4BH]

I was reading that there is some sort of international agreement, that wherever your stuff lands, it is yours. But you have to pay for any damage that occurs.

[w2amr]

Lots of beacons, always a good sign.Just had a nice chat with NP4AI/0 Colorado mobile @ 2000 utc.
