WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- ASTRONOMY (and Wireless Weather)

Astronomers have uncovered something pretty remarkable emerging from
the depths of space, after detecting a powerful series of radio waves.

The signal, known as FRB 20220610A, is made up of dazzling radio wave
flashes that last just milliseconds at a time.

What makes them truly astonishing is that these radio waves have been
travelling through space for a total of 8 billion years  and it could
help experts to gain a better understanding of one of the great
mysteries of the universe. These signals could theoretically help
astronomers to put together a more comprehensive understanding of the
universe.

One of the people involved in the research is astronomer Dr. Stuart
Ryder from Macquarie University in Australia. He said: FRBs are
common and hold great promise. We could use them to create a new map
of the universes structure and answer big questions about cosmology.

The strength of the newly observed signal is truly staggering with
FRB 20220610A emitting the same amount of energy that our sun produces
in 30 years in the space of just a few milliseconds.

GreenCube (IO-117) Ceases Functioning Due to Radiation Damage

The GreenCube satellite, developed by S 5 LAB, has likely ceased
functioning due to radiation damage. After a successful mission that
exceeded expectations, the satellite is no longer responding to
commands, and its on-board radio is believed to have been compromised
by the harsh radiation environment in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO).

GreenCube experienced a reboot, and telemetry data from that event did
not indicate any anomalies. However, the S5LAB team now suspects that
the satellites radio was damaged, leading to the current
communication blackout. MEO is notoriously challenging for satellites
due to its high radiation levels, and GreenCube was not the only
satellite affected. Several other CubeSats launched alongside it only
lasted a few days, making GreenCubes extended mission duration a
remarkable achievement.

Despite ongoing efforts to send commands and reactivate the satellite,
the team remains pessimistic about restoring GreenCubes
functionality. The satellites survival in the hostile MEO environment
is seen as a testament to its robust design, but the likelihood of
recovery is slim.

MAFIA ISLAND AF-054

Vlad, operating as 5H1WX says theres a big issue with regards
electricity / power on Mafia Island.

The problem is while using a generator as power source.

At idle it gives 250V and around 40Hz, but when he transmits with say
800W out, the voltage drops to 170-150v, and the frequency changes
from 39 to 45 Hz. Using 100w on FT8 is ok and approximately 300w on
CW is also ok, but no more than that.

Vlad 5H1WX goes on to say that unfortunately the whole island has a
power supply problem  sometimes it doesnt run all day. In total,
three generators have been used, each one worse than the other.

WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- RESCUE RADIO

Amateur radio is responding to two different tropical events as of Mid-Week.
Hurricane John

The National Hurricane Centre reports that Hurricane John made landfall on
Mexico's southern Pacific coast late Monday evening about 80 miles east of
Acapulco as a Category 3 storm. Winds were reported up to 120

miles per hour. Life-threatening flash flooding is expected across portions
of southern Mexico during the next few days.

Tropical Storm Helena

Meanwhile, hurricane and storm surge watches cover much of the Gulf Coast of
Florida as a system churning in the Caribbean was just

designated as Tropical Storm Helene and is projected to strengthen
into a major storm. Residents were asked to ensure they had their
hurricane plan in place and also follow the advice given by local officials.

Florida declared a state of emergency for 41 counties along and near the
state's Gulf Coast because of threats from the storm. If the storm makes
landfall as a hurricane, it would be the fourth land falling hurricane in the
mainland U.S. this year, joining Beryl, Debby, and Francine.


The Hurricane Watch Net is on

20 meters: 14.325 MHz (USB)

40 meters:  7.268 MHz (LSB)
Any change to the Hurricane Watch Net plans will be on their website, hwn.org
