Depending on space, either the Grundig Satellit 800, Grundig YB400, or Sony
ICF SW07 -- all will function well with supplied whip or tennis racket
antennas.

Hi
Tonight I have had some 90 meter stations of interest maybe.
Guyana 3291.25 khz with male speaking in local dialect ,then another
male coming with id as voice of guyana and into a short talk before
resuming music. 1015 gmt with rx320 and 50 ft wire.
Unid possible bolivian? 3309.95v hearing female speaking with very low
audio,almost sound like a religous broadcast. This one is drifting on me
I can't tune em in for more than 5 minutes without having to retune in
ssb mode.1040 GMT using rx320 and 50 ft wire.
Unid possible PNG station? 3335 khz using usb and 2.25 khz filter I am
able to pull out some audio of male talking but at the moment it is
very weak and fading out at times.1101 GMT using rx320 and 150 ft
wire.Gaining in strength as I listen but by no means very good copy of
transmission.
Unid on 3375.09 hearing songs by female singer in what sounds like
Portuguese but also have another station in there sometimes as it
sounds like I have two separate sources of audio here.1115 GMT using usb
on rx320 and 150 ft wire.

Solar Flux Readings- 114 116 117=20

X-Ray Solar Flares- C-1 M-0 X-0=20
Averaged Background X-Ray Flux- B2.8=20
Energetic Protons >10 MeV (10+0)- None=20
Coronal Hole #054 which became geo-effective on 03/08/28 will begin =
impacting the geo-magnetic field with minor storm conditions Kp-5 by =
03/09/01.=20
In the past 24 hour period the Ap index has been at active levels, with =
a peak at 28.=20
In the past 24 hour period the Kp index has been at minor storm levels, =
with a peak at 5. The short lived minor storm level was due to the =
lopsided partially geo-effective Coronal Mass Ejection that was hurled =
into space on 03/08/25.=20
Here are some general guidelines concerning correlation of propagation =
indices to actual expected HF/MF propagation conditions.=20
1.) Dropping indices numbers are better, except for solar flux on HF.=20
2.) For medium frequencies a solar flux under 150, under 100 better, 70 =
is best for E layer multi hop. Keep in mind though that the 10.7 cm =
(2800 mhz) solar flux index is not a "reliable" gauge of ionization in =
our atmosphere, as the energy of photons at this frequency is to low on =
the order of one million times.=20
2a.) For high frequencies a solar flux of 100 is okay, 150 better, above =
200 best for F layer multi hop.=20
3.) Solar flux of at least 100 for E valley-F layer ducting mechanism.=20
4.) Previous 24 hour Ap index under 10, under 7 for several days =
consecutively is best.=20
5.) Previous 3 hour Kp index under 3 for mid latitude paths, under 2 for =
high latitude paths, 0-1 for several days consecutively is best.=20
6.) Energetic protons no greater then 10 MeV (10+0) for 160/120 meters =
and no greater then (10-1) on MF broadcast band.=20
7.) Background x-ray flux levels less than C1 for several days =
consecutively for 160/120 meters and less then B9 for MF broadcast band. =
8.) No current STRATWARM alert.=20
9.) IMF Bz with a (+) positive sign, indicates a lesser chance of high =
latitude path auroral absorption/unpredictable refraction or scattering =
of MF RF signals, when the Kp is above 3.=20
PROPAGATION LESSON-=20
MF Propagation Overview Continued -
E.) After much personal observational research over a 30 year period, =
I've come to the conclusion that high and mid latitude TA and TP =
propagation paths tend to open up only after a significant period of =
time passes with an energetic proton event of no greater then (10+0) on =
160 meters and no greater then (10-1) on the medium frequency broadcast =
band. Openings also occur when the average solar background X-ray level =
falls back to or below C1 for 160 meters and B9 for the AM broadcast =
band.=20
F.) Remember though that there are daily extremes of the Background =
X-ray flux level. So even though the daily average might have been good =
at say B2.2, the daily "extreme" maximum could have been C1.5, which =
would have been bad and have cause a short period of increased D layer =
absorption.=20
G.) Though high latitude propagation paths on the day light side of the =
Earth are primarily affected, night time high latitude paths can also be =
impacted by higher intensity energetic proton events. This fact is still =
stubbornly opposed by some otherwise very knowledgeable space weather =
physicists hung up on high latitude threshold Riometer data tied to =
Polar Cap Absorption (PCA).=20
H.) Another wrench in the gears preventing consistent good propagation =
on medium frequencies is related to Sporadic-D (Ds) absorption. =
Sporadic-D (Ds) occurrences have an inter-relationship with brief but =
intense Sun based and Galactic Cosmic Rays, huge positive cloud to =
ground lightning strokes and interrelated Sprites and Elves. Very large =
bursts of Gamma Rays have also been observed to occur in conjunction =
with Sprites.=20
I.) Also there is another unavoidable problem, Magneto Ionic Power =
Coupling. Antenna polarization plays a large role in the success of a =
long haul DX contact. As a medium frequency RF signal traverses our =
planets magnetic lines of force in a perpendicular manner on high and =
mid latitude paths say between W3 land and SM, higher angle horizontally =
polarized signals are more readily absorbed then lower angle vertically =
polarized signals. On other propagation paths on the globe opposite =
results can be found, i.e. horizontally polarized signals suffer less =
absorption on a propagation path between VK6 and W4. Magneto Ionic Power =
Coupling expert Bob Brown NM7M has a good educational thread on this =
propagation bugaboo on the May 2002 Topband Reflector.=20
J.) Meteorological effects such as troposphere originating Internal =
Buoyancy/Gravity Waves (IBGW), stratospheric level Quasi-Biennial =
Oscillations (QBO) and stratospheric warming (See definition #16 on =
Stratospheric Warming) have a negative effect on MF RF signals in the =
form of small to medium increased absorption variations of MF RF signals =
via the D layer. Also temperature and moisture discontinuities (frontal =
inversions) can refract/scatter MF radio signals in unpredictable ways, =
most notably on high transmitted RF power levels.=20
K.) The Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) is a wind shift in the =
equatorial stratosphere, an oscillation from easterly to westerly and =
back on the time scale of approximately two years (26 months) and is a =
source of internal gravity waves (IGW) which create absorptive =
perturbations in the D and E layers and even possibly the F-1&2 layers.=20
L.) The HAARP Ionospheric program, Thunderstorms, lightning (especially =
positive cloud to ground strokes), sprites, tornadoes, hurricanes and =
even man made activities such as rocket launches including the space =
shuttle, are all sources of (IBGW's). Many times I've heard ham's lament =
that propagation was going to go to crap due to another space shuttle =
launch, in a sense they are correct. Much more research is needed on MF =
and LF radio wave propagation.=20
PROPAGATION OUTLOOK-=20

Looks like autumn, also on the bands. AM was
highlighted by India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka
last week.
QTH this time: Jalasjdrvi, Western Finland.
Rx: Racal RA-1792, Yaesu FRG-100.
wires: 700 m 100 grad, 500 m 180 grad,
500 m 270 grad, 700 m 290 grad.
The greatest hits:
AFRICA
1377 25.8. 1828- TANZANIA: R Free Africa, Mwanza.
This station has had indeed some of its best moments
this summer. Often over France with a great signal.
1386 29.8. 2214- GUINEA: R Rurale, Labi.
ASIA
621 29.8. 1730 INDIA: AIR Patna. No local ID from
here. Just quickly noted during Delhi news, along
with 774 Shimla, 882 Imphal, 909 Gorakhpur, and
990 Jammu etc.
747 29.8. -1741* INDIA: AIR Lucknow. Superior signal.
801 29.8. -1742* INDIA: AIR Jabalpur.
927 26.8. 1730- PAKISTAN: RP Khairpur.
1035 28.8. 1750- PAKISTAN: RP Multan. Quite nice
signal for a moment over Tartto on co-channel! But alas,
it didn't last too long.
1107 often 1630- AFGHANISTAN: R Afghanistan, Kabul.
New 400-kW unit seems to be in top condition, but
how long.
1107 27,28.8. 1641- CHINA: Xinjiang RGD, Urumqi.
Kazakh language channel.
1206 28.8. 1728- INDIA: AIR Bhawanipatna.
1242 often -1742* INDIA: AIR Varanasi. More
or less audible every evening.
1296 every evening 1700- AFGHANISTAN: Azadi R, Kabul.
VOA Afgan programming, dari & pashto. Funniest moment
was when the lyrics of country & western song were
translated into local language by the speaker. Great signal.
BBC sign-on 1927 UTC spoils a bit of the fun.
1341 27.8. 1703- PAKISTAN: RP Bahawalpur. Enjoyable
listening now that the hell machine known as Mega Radio
has closed down. Permanently, I hope.
1368 27.8. 1720- INDIA: AIR Delhi.
1395 often -1740* *0025- INDIA: AIR Bikaner. Often
heard but local ID is still missing... Must try again!
1494 28.8. 2308- CHINA: UNID. Xinjiang suspected...
+ other regular Asians just noted, without caring details:
1359 ZRGD
1377 ZRGD
1557 Family Radio, Kou-hu
1575 VOA Ayutthaya
4830 25.8. *2100- MONGOLIA: R Mongolia. Now on
this new frequency // 4895.

I want to purchase a shortwave radio for use on my sailboat. The Sony
2010/2001D was suggested to me but this unit has been discontinued. Please
suggest
a possible substitute for the unit.
Thanks.
Wilfred
