104-YEAR-OLD HAM IS ON THE AIR

ARRL member Oscar Norris, W4OXH, of Gastonia, North Carolina, will turn
105 on September 25, 2022, and he is still on the air.

Norris lost his sight when he was 24 in 1942, and it was his
blindness that led him to amateur radio. He earned his license in 1949,
and has been on the air for 73 years.

Tony Jones, N4ATJ, has known Norris since he was 14 and remembers the
first time he met Norris. It was at a bicycle shop and Norris, blind,
was still able to tear down a wheel, replace the spokes, and spin the
wheel until it was balanced. Several years later, Norris gave Jones a
book on how to earn an amateur radio license.

"Over the years, the book got misplaced," said Jones. "I would give
anything to find that book today." Jones continued, "Oscar has the
personality of one of the kindest people you would ever want to meet,
and he never has an unkind word for anyone."

Norris communicates mostly using digital mobile radio (DMR) on a
handheld radio, and he has been a member of the Gaston County Amateur
Radio Society (GCARS), an ARRL Affiliated Club, since 1979.

In honor of his 105th birthday, GCARS members will be operating the
special event station N1O from 00:01 UTC on September 20 through 20:00
UTC on October 1. Operations will be on the HF bands, 2 meters, 1.25
meters, and 70 centimeters. Modes used will be CW, SSB, FT4, FT8, DMR,
and D-STAR.

For additional information, contact Jones at n4atj@twc.com.

100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE READING RADIO CLUB

The Reading Radio Club <https://www.qsl.net/w3bn/> (RRC) in Reading, Pennsylvania, will celebrate their 100th anniversary on September 24,
2022. Special event station W3BN will operate from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM
EDT on 10-, 15-, 20-, 40-, and 80-meters SSB. All licensed amateurs are
invited to join the celebration and make contacts to qualify for a
personalized color certificate commemorating the event. RRC operators
will be staffing three HF stations from the Reading area for a 12-hour
period. Look for spots on your favorite DX cluster to find and contact
one of the stations.

The RRC was formed by a group of radio hobbyists in 1921, and it
became an ARRL Affiliated Club in February 1922. ARRL President Rick
Roderick, K5UR, presented a plaque during the RRC banquet in May,
marking the celebration of the centennial.

To qualify for a color QSL card, send log information to
w3bn100@gmail.com and include your call sign, the band that you
operated on, the time and date, and your name.

HAWAII "BIG WIND" DRILL SUCCESSFULLY TESTS EMERGENCY RADIO

COMMUNICATIONS

Makani 'Ino, Hawaii's big wind hurricane exercise on July 16, 2022, successfully tested amateur radio equipment and the skill of operators
in a disaster environment.

Highlights of the drill included:

- Participation of 112 stations

- 256 Winlink traffic messages to served agencies

- 127 voice contacts from spokes

- 125 Winlink traffic messages from spokes

- 10 voice traffic messages to served agencies

The drill was designed to test the ability of amateur radio operators
in establishing emergency communications during a widespread disaster.
Makani 'Ino simulated severe infrastructure failure as a hurricane
impacted every island's electrical power, internet service, and cell
phone service. High winds, catastrophic rains, and storm surges on
coastal lands produced flooding in many areas.

The timing of the drill could not have been better. Early in the
morning on July 16, before the exercise began, Tropical Storm Darby was
making a run toward the islands. The National Weather Service issued a Tropical Storm Warning, and the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency
activated its Emergency Operations Center (EOC). While High Surf
Warnings were issued throughout the weekend, the storm weakened and did
not reach hurricane strength.

Hawaii Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES®) Public Information
Officer Michael Miller, KH6ML, said that not only were the numbers
impressive, but participation in the exercise was excellent. "I was
glad to see all of the participating agencies working well together,
helping build leaders and train amateur radio operators," said Miller.
"Also, a special thanks to the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency for a
very engaged Emergency Operations Center," he added.

The next Hawaii ARES drill is the ARRL Simulated Emergency Test, which
will involve an extreme tsunami. The event is set for October 1, 2022.

AMATEUR RADIO HELPS DISABLED SAILBOAT TO PORT

On September 7, 2022, Jeanne (Jan) Socrates, VE0JS/MM / KC2IOV, and her sailboat, the SV Nereida, set sail from Cape Flattery, the
northwesternmost point of the contiguous US. She was on her way to
visit friends in San Francisco, California, but 2 days of 35 knot winds
and storms left her sailboat disabled and her onboard radio equipment marginally operational. Amateur operators in New Mexico, California,
and Canada, and members of Group 7.155 heard her requests for
assistance.

Jeanne (Jan) Socrates, VE0JS/MM/ KC2IOV, and her sailboat, the Nereida.

Gil Gray, N2GG, was able to contact Socrates on 40 meters. "Her
power was extremely low, and she was unable to communicate on 14.300
MHz to notify the monitoring group on that frequency," said Gray. "She
needed help with wind and sea conditions, and tidal data for San
Francisco Bay," he added.

Low-power output on the HF radio made it very difficult to get Q5 copy,
which would typically be Q2 or Q3. With the help of several
software-defined radio (SDR) operators in Utah, California, and Maui,
Hawaii, they were able to glean enough copy to understand her situation
and answer questions for her navigation.

Gray; Jonathan Ayers, AI6NA, and Edwin E. Jenkins, K6EXY, are all
experienced sailors. They were able to make periodic contact with
Socrates and give her updated wind reports. Their last contact was on
Monday, September 12, at 11:00 AM (MSDT). By this time, Socrates was
sailing with only the forward sail on her 38-foot sloop. Fortunately, a "following wind" kept her moving without a mainsail. As she approached
the Golden Gate Bridge, Socrates was able to use the tidal information
passed on by amateur radio operators to make it safely to Berkeley
Marina in San Francisco Bay.

"I wouldn't call it a rescue," said Socrates, "just good amateur radio assistance -- and I'm grateful for their help."

Socrates is 81 years old and the oldest person to have ever sailed
around the world unassisted. Once her sailboat is repaired, she will
sail again, not for records, but for the enjoyment of sailing the high
seas.

Her situation is one of three events in early September in which
amateur radio was able to provide emergency assistance.

More information about Socrates is available on her Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/SV-Nereida-243122859725372> page.

AMATEUR RADIO TAKES CENTER STAGE AT THE BIG E

The Big E, "New England's Great State Fair," kicks off on Friday,
September 16, 2022, and includes Project Big E <https://nediv.arrl.org/project-big-e/>, a 17-day amateur radio exhibit
that runs through October 2, 2022. The fair, held in West Springfield, Massachusetts, is the largest agricultural event on the eastern
seaboard and the sixth-largest fair in the nation.

Planning for this year's Project Big E was initiated in 2021 by Larry
Krainson, W1AST, ARRL Western Massachusetts Section Affiliated Club
Coordinator and President of the Hampden County Radio Association <http://www.hcra.org/> (HCRA), as well as HCRA members and other
interested individuals. They envisioned an exhibit that would
demonstrate the many aspects of modern ham radio and provide an
opportunity for future amateur radio operators to sign up for
information and courses in their local area.

"If just one-tenth of 1% of attendees sign up for ham classes, that
would be 1,600 names to distribute to all New England radio clubs,"
said Krainson. "We would all benefit and grow ham radio," he added.

HCRA will operate special event station N1E during the 17-day event. A
donation from Remote Ham Radio <https://www.remotehamradio.com/> (RHR)
will allow N1E access to remote stations throughout the entire event.

Additional exhibits and demonstrations at the event will include:

- An emergency communications (EmComm) display

- D-STAR and/or other digital mobile mode demonstations

- Digital HF modes on a big screen

- SSB, CW, and digital modes

- Demonstrations of portable stations for field operation, such as
Parks on the Air® (POTA) and Summits on the Air (SOTA)

- Youth in ham radio

A related effort includes The BIG E Space Chat, which involves a
scheduled ham radio contact from the fair with an astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The contact is organized through
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
<https://www.ariss.org/> (ARISS). At press time, the contact is
scheduled to take place in The Big E Arena between September 27 - 29.
The exact date and time will not be known until a decision is made by
NASA, approximately 1 week before the event.

More information about Project Big E can be found at the ARRL New
England Division <https://nediv.arrl.org/project-big-e/> website.

Southern Ohio Amateur Radio Association (SOARA) and Lawrence County
Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES®) members will participate in an
On the Air Special Historical Event on Saturday, October 1. SOARA
members invited amateur radio clubs across the tristate area to
participate in this event. They will be operating on several different frequencies from the Burlington Commons Park shelter on the riverbank
in Burlington, Ohio, from 9 AM - 2 PM. The radio stations will use
SOARA's call sign, W8SOE. This year, in keeping with the historical
event series, SOARA will bring attention to the early history of
Lawrence County and its first county seat, established in 1817, in
Burlington. The event will focus on the importance of Burlington as
part of the Underground Railroad. This event will be the first for the
ARRL Ohio Section at this location. "This event has all the
opportunities for a fun-filled family day to engage the public and
learn about the rich history of Burlington," said SOARA Public
Information Officer Mike Love, WB8YKS. An effort will be made to raise
public awareness of amateur radio and the benefits of getting licensed,
as well as emergency and community service. A special certificate will
be issued to all amateurs who contact SOARA. "I am excited that the
SOARA members have decided to have their special event here at the
Burlington Commons [Park] and are focusing on our area's history," said Concerned Citizens of the Burlington Area President Tamara Howard.
Eddie Jenkins, N8URU, Assistant ARES Coordinator and SOARA Assistant
Volunteer Examiner Testing Team Leader added, "The special event
station will mimic the emergency conditions required during a total communications failure. This includes telephone, commercial radio,
television, cell phone, and web access due to devastating weather,
earthquakes, and wildfire conditions," stated.

IN BRIEF...

Pete Smith, N4ZR, is looking for call sign updates to include in the
latest update of the Reverse Beacon Network (RBN) pattern file that
will be released ahead of the fall contest season. Smith encourages
anyone who wants their updated call signs to be included in the October
1 release to email him at pete.n4zr@gmail.com before September 25. --
Thanks to Paul Bourque, N1SFE <contest-update@arrl.org>, and the ARRL
Contest Update for the information.

The 75th anniversary of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is being celebrated over a period of several months by various activities. A
special event call sign, K4C/75, will be active September 16 - 30,
2022. The operators are signing K4C/75 from locations in northern
Virginia to distinguish this operation from previous temporary users of
the call sign. The QSL Manager is Gerard Rossano, N4JR.

THE K7RA SOLAR UPDATE

Solar activity bounced back this reporting week, September 8 - 14, when
the average daily sunspot number jumped from 68 to 92.7, and the
average solar flux from 125.8 to 141.3.

Fewer Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and flares were evident, with the
average planetary A index declining from 24.6 to 10.7, and the middle
latitude numbers from 17.4 to 10.6.

New sunspot groups appeared: one on September 8, three on September
10, and one more on September 13. The total sunspot area (in millionths
of a solar disc) on September 12 - 14 rose from 370 to 870 to 1240 --
the highest value in over a month.

The sunspot number was highest on September 10 at 122.

During this week 2 years ago, there were no sunspots at all. The
average daily solar flux was only 69.7, over 56 points lower than this
week, demonstrating the continued progress of Cycle 25.

The latest (Wednesday) forecast from the space weather folks at Offutt
Air Force Base shows predicted solar flux peaking at 150 on October 9,
and flux values on September 15 at 140. Then 135 on September 16 - 18;
130 on September 19 - 21; 120 on September 22 - 29; 125 on September 30
through October 6; 130 on October 7 - 8; 150, 148, 143, and 140 on
October 9 - 12; 136, 130, 125, and 120 on October 13 - 16, and 125 on
October 17.

Predicted planetary A index shows moderate levels of geomagnetic
activity until October 1 - 2. The forecast is 5, 15, 18, and 12 on
September 15 - 18; 5 on September 19 - 22; 12 and 10 on September 23 -
24; 14 on September 25 - 27; 8 on September 28 - 29; 22, 50, 40, 20,

GETTING IT RIGHT...

In The ARRL Letter of September 8, the article, "Richard Tell, K5UJU,
Receives IEEE SA Lifetime Achievement Award <http://www.arrl.org/arrlletter?issue=2022-09-08#toc03>" contained an
incorrect reference to an IEEE committee affiliation. Tell was
mistakenly associated with being the Chair of the Nuclear Power
Engineering Committee. The other committee affiliations are correct.
The ARRL Letter regrets this error.
