HAM RADIO'S MANY ROLES DURING SOLAR ECLIPSE

In one of nature's most spectacular visual displays, on April 8, 2024,
the sun will align with the moon and the Earth, casting a shadow that
will transit much of North America.

Spectacular Display and Gathering

Millions will gather along the path of totality - the section where the
sun is fully blocked by the moon - to witness something that happens,
on average, once every 375 years for any place on our planet. The
moon's shadow path will begin over the South Pacific Ocean, and then it
will cross into North America, passing over Mexico, the United States,
and Canada. Weather permitting, the first location in continental North
America that will experience totality is Mexico's Pacific coast, at
around 11:07 a.m. PDT. The shadow will exit continental North America
on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada, at 5:16 p.m. NDT.

Ham radio will be there - operators will participate in scientific
experiments, serve local communities that will be overrun with hundreds
of thousands of visitors, and provide a valuable tool for communicating
if the mobile phone networks become overloaded.

Science

Regular sun and moon watchers will be out in force while many
scientists, astronomers, and amateur radio operators will be "working"
the eclipse. ARRL has partnered with Ham Radio Science Citizen
Investigation (HamSCI), a NASA citizen science project, to encourage
hams to send and receive signals to one another before, during, and
after the eclipse. The project will be led by Nathaniel Frissell,
W2NAF, a professor of Physics and Engineering at the University of
Scranton in Pennsylvania. HamSCI participants will share their radio
data to catalog how the sudden loss of sunlight during totality affects
their radio signals. All radio amateurs are welcome to participate in
the ionospheric research that is being conducted. Information is
available at the Solar Eclipse QSO Party on the HamSCI website <https://hamsci.org/eclipse>.

NASA plans to point a large telescope at the eclipse and broadcast the
entire event across North America. The agency will host live coverage
of the eclipse from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. EDT (17:00 to 20:00 UTC) on April
8 on the NASA YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/user/NASAtelevision>
channel. There will be live views of the eclipse from watch parties
across the country, and even from NASA's Glenn Research Center in Ohio,
which happens to be inside the path of totality.

In addition to NASA's plans, the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network
(SuperDARN), a collection of radars located at sites around the world,
will bounce radio waves off of the ionosphere and analyze the returning signals. Their data will reveal changes in the ionosphere's density, temperature, and location.

There is also the Radio JOVE project, which is made up of a team of
citizen scientists dedicated to documenting radio signals from space,
and especially from Jupiter. During the total solar eclipse, Radio JOVE participants will focus on the sun. Using radio antenna kits that they
set up themselves, they'll record solar radio bursts before, during,
and after the eclipse.

EmComm

Emergency communications groups, including those affiliated with the
Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES®) <http://www.arrl.org/ares>,
will be active in the areas near totality. National Weather Service
(NWS) offices are closely watching weather patterns in and around the
eclipse path for any severe weather that could impact watchers and
increase traffic. Many first responders, including law enforcement,
medical personnel, and fire departments, will be ready to respond to
any emergency that might occur during the eclipse. Those officials
represent some of the served agencies that radio amateurs work to
support.

Most ARRL Sections within the path of totality have been working with
their local served agencies to provide communications volunteers
through amateur radio. In New Hampshire, for example, where cell phone
and road networks are expected to be overwhelmed, New Hampshire ARES
has local groups activated in many communities.

Public Information Coordinator of the ARRL New Hampshire Section Skip
Camejo, AC1LC, said members across the state are ready. "A small team
pulled from several NH-ARES groups will be providing limited
communications support for the American Red Cross, using both HF and
VHF. We will have an RV-based station in Lancaster, NH, and another in Pittsburg, both at locations provided by the New Hampshire Department
of Transportation," he said.

In the event of a mass-casualty incident or a need for emergency
sheltering, the teams will travel to the scene with a state police
escort. They're expecting 10,000 to 50,000 visitors on Monday in that
community alone.

Other ARES groups have been preparing and drilling over the last few
months. In the ARRL North Texas Section, a set of criteria has been
established as reportable to the local served agencies' emergency
operations centers. Look for more details on ham radio involvement
during the eclipse in next week's The ARRL Letter.

Outreach

Many groups are holding eclipse festivals. Some amateur radio groups
and clubs are taking advantage of these gatherings to get radio in
front of the curious public. Vice Director of the ARRL Hudson Division
Ed Wilson, N2XDD, is preparing an informational display for an event at
his local library.

The Suffolk County Radio Club on Long Island, New York, will be participating in the Solar Eclipse QSO Party from the Moriches Branch
Library.

Wilson saw radio as a perfect addition to the library's eclipse
activities. "Another club member and I went down to the librarian and
spoke to her about the HamSCI event. We asked if we would be able to
set up a ham radio station during the course of the day. They loved the
idea and approved it, and they invited us to some other events that
they're having in the next few months," he said.

For clubs that may have a public presence during the eclipse, there are resources on the ARRL website
<https://www.arrl.org/what-is-amateur-radio> detailing how to help
explain the hobby to the uninitiated.

The total solar eclipse will be the last of its kind for more than two
decades in the contiguous U.S. The next total solar eclipse on U.S.
soil won't occur until March 30, 2033, and it will be viewable only in
Alaska.

REGISTER NOW FOR THE 2024 ARRL YOUTH RALLY!

As part of the fun at Dayton Hamvention®, youth attendees are invited
to participate in the 2024 ARRL Youth Rally on Saturday, May 18. The
day will include a special agenda of activities and presentations
intended to engage and inspire young hams and young newcomers to
amateur radio.

The Youth Rally is intended for students who are 11 to 21 years of
age. While Hamvention offers free tickets for junior high and high
school students, advance registration for the Youth Rally is
recommended. A preliminary Youth Rally agenda and registration
instructions are on the ARRL website, at www.arrl.org/expo <https://www.arrl.org/expo>. The Youth Rally registration fee is $20
and includes a tee shirt (to wear on Saturday), a badge, a lanyard, and
a reusable tote bag.

The Youth Rally promises a full day of activities, discovery,
sharing, and fun. Rally day begins at 9:15 AM on Saturday with the
annual Dayton Youth Forum -- open to all Hamvention attendees --
moderated by well-known amateur radio educator Carole Perry, WB2MGP.

The forum includes presentations from young hams covering a variety of
amateur radio activities, topics, and technology.

After lunch (on your own), Youth Rally registrants will gather in
Forum Room 3 to get to know each other and explore a variety of amateur
radio interests and activities. Learn about satellite communications, participate in a short sprint contest, contact a parachute mobile
station, and participate in other fun! Bring a 2-meter handheld if you
have one. The afternoon activities will be led by ARRL Education and
Learning Manager Steve Goodgame, K5ATA, and will include other guests representing well-known amateur radio youth programs.

The Youth Rally will wrap up on Saturday with a forum for the ARRL
Collegiate Amateur Radio Program (CARP).

The 2024 ARRL Youth Rally is just part of the fun planned for the 2024
ARRL National Convention at Hamvention. Visit www.arrl.org/expo <http://www.arrl.org/expo>, where you can find the full listing of ARRL-sponsored forums, exhibits, and activities. Hamvention is May 17 -

ARRL SEEKING APPLICANTS FOR ASSISTANT EDUCATION AND LEARNING

MANAGER

ARRL is working to engage the next generation of radio amateurs right
in the classroom. Many young people have become active hams because of
the ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology <https://www.arrl.org/teachers-institute-on-wireless-technology>.

This donor-funded effort brings teachers from across the United
States together to get them excited about radio through hands-on
experiments. The Institute then trains them on how to take that
excitement back to their classrooms as they incorporate amateur radio
into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning.

Now, we're looking for the right candidate for a position that will
help us grow that program. In a posting at www.arrl.org/employment-opportunities <http://www.arrl.org/employment-opportunities>, potential candidates
can find the entire list of criteria we're looking for in the Assistant Education and Learning Manager.

The position is perfect for someone with an education background, but
the most important trait is being able to authentically share a passion
for amateur radio, according to ARRL Education and Learning Manager
Steve Goodgame, K5ATA. "We want someone energetic and passionate about
amateur radio - willing to hit the streets at conferences to get
teachers fired up. This person is going to help run the Teachers
Institute and be a champion for engaging youth in amateur radio," he
said.

Someone who has a passion for educating will be a great fit. According
to the listing, the incumbent will develop schedules, choose material
and coursework, and understand the needs of education program students.
The Assistant Manager will work to facilitate and instruct Teachers
Institute sessions.

If you're interested in the job, email Goodgame at sgoodgame@arrl.org.
ARRL is an equal-opportunity employer.

2024 ARRL FIELD DAY POSTER RELEASED

A poster promoting 2024 ARRL Field Day has been released on the Field
Day web page, www.arrl.org/field-day <http://www.arrl.org/field-day>.
The two-sided informational poster features this year's theme "Be Radio Active". It includes a space for clubs to fill in information about
their planned activation so that members of their community can come
visit the site.

More resources for promoting 2024 ARRL Field Day are being developed
and will be available soon. ARRL Field Day always occurs on the fourth
full weekend in June. This year, it happens on June 22 - 23.

IN BRIEF...

April 1 - 7, 2024, is World Autism Awareness Week, and April 2 was
designated as World Autism Awareness Day <https://www.autismspeaks.org/world-autism-awareness-day>. To celebrate
both, Russian amateur radio operator Raisa Skrynnikova, R1BIG, and
Canadian amateur radio operator Robert Noakes, VE3PCP, will be
operating their remote stations starting at 9:00 AM local time (13:00
UTC) as part of the W2A International group
<https://www.qrz.com/db/W2A> special event. There will be many
worldwide special event stations taking part in the celebrations,
including United States amateurs. Live streams will be available on
YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@ve3pcp and QRZ.com <https://www.qrz.com/db/W2A>. Those interested in becoming a volunteer
operator for the event can email hamradioevents@gmail.com to apply. The weeklong celebration focuses on sharing stories and providing
opportunities to increase understanding and acceptance of people with
autism, as well as fostering worldwide support.

The Annual 13 Colonies Special Event organizers are looking for amateur
radio volunteers. The event honors the 13 original British colonies
that rebelled against Great Britian and founded the United States of
America in July 1776. The event will use all amateur radio frequencies
and modes, and it runs from July 1 to 7, 2024. During this time, there
will be special event stations on the air corresponding to each of the
13 colonies, in addition to two bonus stations with 1 x 1 call signs. Volunteers will need to be available to work for several hours on each
of the seven days, and they will need to maintain a log using a
computer. The deadline for volunteer applications is May 1, 2024. All applications should be emailed to Larry Krainson, W1AST, at
wb1dby@gmail.com. <wb1dby@gmail.com> Anyone participating in the event
can receive a certificate by working any of the 13 colony stations, and
a clean sweep certificate will be available for those who work all 15
stations. In 2023, the Massachusetts station, K2H, made 19,209
contacts. For more information, visit the 13 Colonies
<http://13colonies.us/> Special Event website.

THE K7RA SOLAR UPDATE

Tad Cook, K7RA, of Seattle, Washington, reports for this week's ARRL Propagation Bulletin, ARLP0014:

This solar disk image was taken on April 4, 2024. [Photo courtesy of
NASA SDO/HMI]

With the big increase in sunspot numbers and solar flux reported in
last week's bulletin, I hoped the trend would continue. But, the
numbers this week were lower.

Five new sunspot groups emerged: one each day from March 30 through
April 3.

Average daily sunspot numbers went from 147 to 60, and average daily
solar flux declined from 191.9 to 136.9.

Geomagnetic numbers were much quieter. Average daily planetary A index
softened to 7.6 from 25.4.

Predicted solar flux is 112 and 114 on April 4 - 5; 115 on April 6 - 8;
120 on April 9 - 10; 140 on April 11 - 13; 150 on April 14 - 16; 160 on
April 17 - 18; 170 on April 19 - 24; 160, 150, and 140 on April 25 -
27, and 130 on April 28 through May 4.

The predicted flux values for this week are much lower than in last
week's forecast for the same period.

Predicted planetary A index is 18 on April 4 - 5; 8, 5, and 5 on April
6 - 8; 8 on April 9 - 11; 5 on April 12 - 18; 8 and 10 on April 19 -
20; 8 on April 21 - 23; 5 on April 24 - 26; 10 on April 27 - 28; 8 on
April 29, and 12 on April 30 through May 2.

Chip Sufitchi, N2YO, sent this email last week:

"Thanks for your excellent ARRL propagation bulletins! I also [have
been] running a weekly propagation bulletin for more than 20 years (in
the Romanian language). The bulletin is available on the web,
distributed online by email, and read during the "Info DX" QTC on 80
meters each Thursday in Romania. All bulletins are available here: https://www.radioamator.ro/misc/buletinepropagare.php. On the first of
each month, I update a page of propagation charts in certain directions centered on Romania (YO) at

https://www.radioamator.ro/misc/grafice_propagare.php. I also run a YO
DX cluster, which is powered by a DXSpider server and hosted by a
Raspberry Pi in my basement. They feed the web page at https://www.radioamator.ro/yocluster/. In fact, I run the whole
radioamator.ro website, which is the most popular YO ham radio resource
on the internet. This year, the website will have its 20th
anniversary."

See a recent video from Space Weather Woman Dr. Tamitha Skov, WX6SWW,
at https://youtu.be/yKNB1YRX7kg.

Sunspot numbers for March 28 through April 3, 2024, were 101, 79, 60,
50, 50, 35, and 45, with a mean of 60. The 10.7-centimeter flux was
172.7, 167.3, 139.6, 133.6, 120.4, 112.8, and 111.7, with a mean of
136.9. Estimated planetary A indices were 7, 6, 5, 9, 11, 8, and 7,
with a mean of 7.6. Middle latitude A index was 6, 4, 4, 8, 9, 7, and
10, with a mean of 6.9.
