Hello and welcome to episode 75 of The DX Mentor, all about signal propagation. I'm Bill, AJ8B. Between the DX Mentor Facebook page, the weekly DX column in the Ohio Section Journal, the DX section of This Week in Amateur Radio podcast, and the This Week in DX weekly YouTube episodes, I have received quite a few emails over the past months about a couple of topics. One of those topics is HF propagation.I assume this is due to the discussions about the current solar cycle.If this is the first time you are joining us, Welcome! We have a back catalog covering many aspects of DX in both podcast and YouTube format. Please check us out. If you like what you find, please subscribe, like, and share to always be notified about upcoming events!    Another way to keep in touch and to see what we are up to is via the DX Mentor Facebook page. I will be posting aboutupcoming podcasts, YouTube drops,  as well as other DX events so please follow us.   You can check the show notes for any of the information that we discussed today. Before we get started, I would like to mention an accomplishment. Several weeks ago, I received the ARRL DX Trident award, 200 level. I was very honored to receive this and I thank the ARRL for continuing to find goals forus to strive for.In this episode we will have a detailed discussion of HFpropagation.  My guests are Bernie, W3UR, Frank, W3LPL and Joe, W8GEX. Bernie's call, W3UR, is probably familiar to you as he is theeditor of the How's DX column in QST and the publisher of the Daily DX and the Weekly DX.Frank's call is likely familiar to you as well as he publishes aweekly propagation report, is an avid DXer and has one of the most impressive antenna farms on the east coast. Check out his layout via qrz.com.Both Bernie and Frank are members of the 3000+ DXCC Challenge club, in the rare air of 3100+! This episode is definitely aided by the use of slides, but you can learn a lot as you listen to the guests discuss the various concepts. The YouTube version will drop in two weeks and you can round out what you missed the first time around.Now, let's tune in to our gurus and find out what they arediscussing…

Jake Groenhof, N0LX, discovered amateur radio in the 1960s thanks to his uncle's impressive home station and his father's interest in CB radio.. Over the years, Jake turned his curiosity into a lifetime of experiments — from pedestrian-mobile DX with just 5 watts and an endfed antenna tethered to a balloon, to building saltwater antennas in PVC pipes, to flying pico balloons that circled the Earth six times. Along the way, he's set records, designed clever portable gear, and inspired others to push the limits of what amateur radio can do. N0LX is my QSO Today.

Using FT8 on the 70cm band, the exchange is a report and a four-character locator. Also, on Wednesday the 13th, the 432MHz FT8 Activity two-hour Contest runs from 1900 to 2100 UTC. Using FT8 on the 70cm band, the exchange is a report and a four-character locator. Stations entering the four-hour contest may also enter the two-hour contest. On Thursday, the 14th, the RSGB 50MHz UK Activity Contest runs from 1900 to 2130 UTC. Using all modes on the 6m band, the exchange is a report and four-character locator. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 7th of August Over the last week, we had nearly ideal solar conditions for HF propagation. These included low geomagnetic indices and a reasonable solar flux index, hovering around the 150 mark. Other solar events of note included six M-class solar flares. The only stumbling block is the time of year, with summer seeing lower maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs, and poorer propagation due to changes in ionospheric chemistry. We will have to wait another month or so to see conditions pick up. The main HF DX this week has been T30TTT from Western Kiribati, mainly on FT8 and CW and focusing on the 20 and 17m bands. TJ1GD from Cameroon was worked on the 17m band using FT8. E51KEE on the South Cook Islands was logged on the 17 and 15m bands using CW. And finally, AH6KO in Hawaii was worked on the 15m band using CW. But this may all be set to change. A coronal mass ejection observed on Tuesday, the 5th, may deliver a glancing blow to the Earth's geomagnetic field. This may also coincide with an expected high-speed stream from a very large coronal hole on the Sun's surface. NOAA predicts that the Kp index could rise to 5 or 6. The hole is so large and elongated that we could see unsettled conditions occurring in the coming week. NOAA predicts unsettled geomagnetic conditions from the 11th to the 14th of August. It also predicts more unsettled conditions from the 18th to the 22nd, with a maximum Kp index of 5. Expect reduced MUFs and poor HF conditions, especially for paths over the poles. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The main setting for the weather pattern over the next week is a tendency for high pressure in the south and lower pressure to the north of Britain. There may be some input from a low over France around the middle of the week. This might introduce some thundery showers and a chance of rain scatter on the GHz bands. Meanwhile, occasional weak frontal systems will bring patchy rain to the far northwest, but probably not so good for rain scatter opportunities. The Tropo at this time of year can be very good around the coasts and occasionally inland overnight. However, it tends to weaken inland during the heating of the day. Out at sea, temperatures remain fairly constant and maintain an ideal cool, moist layer at the sea surface overlain by a layer of warm, dry air from the land. This provides Tropo 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Mid-August is good for meteor scatter with the peak of the Perseids on the Tuesday night of the 12th and 13th. Apart from digital-mode QSOs, it's good for late summer evening sky watching. It is fascinating to listen to the VHF SSB meteor scatter frequencies while watching to get the full experience. It's a broad shower, so don't worry if you must pick a night either side of the peak. The chances of an aurora are not zero, with further minor alerts to remind us that it's worth checking. The main mode for DX is probably still going to be Sporadic-E, which has roughly another four weeks to run. Don't expect something every day, as it tends to become more random towards the latter part of the season. Moon declination is negative, but rising again, so Moon window lengths and peak elevation will increase. Path losses are also falling, reaching a minimum at perigee on Thursday, the 14th of August. 144MHz sky noise is low to moderate all next week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Amigos y amigas, sean bienvenidos al informe mensual de la AER, de la Asociación Española de Radioescucha. Antes de empezar, tres cosas: las frecuencias se dan en kilohercios, las horas son UTC, es decir, están referidas al Tiempo Universal Coordinado y deletrearemos algunos direcciones usando el alfabeto internacional de deletreo. Y ahora sí, la primera noticia viene de Desde el Kirguistán, en Asia central, pues su radio oficial KYRGUIZ RADIO 1 emite diariamente en kirguis de 00.00 a 19.00 en 4.010. También tiene dos programas en ingles de cinco minutos, de lunes a sábado, a las 01.15 y a las 04.15. Siempre en dirección al centro de Asia y con 100 kilovatios. Se pueden enviar informes al correo: ktrksite@gmail.com . Triste noticia nos llega desde TRANS WORLD RADIO pues anuncia que a partir del próximo 31 de Octubre del 2.025 finalizará todas sus transmisiones por onda corta desde la Isla de Guam en el Océano Pacífico. Durante casi 50 años, TRANS WORLD RADIO ha realizado transmisiones religiosas (el evangelio y la biblia) a las vastas poblaciones de Asia como China, Corea del Norte, India, Myanmar, Vietnam y otras partes de la región. Según informaciones de la propia emisora, esta decisión de poner fin a las transmisiones es para mantener la “sostenibilidad operativa” y no va a cambiar sus objetivos religiosos ni supone un paso atrás. También (según indica la propia emisora) la programación se realizará principalmente vía otras emisoras de onda corta como por ejemplo Reach Beyond de Australia y FEBC (Far East Broadcasting Corporation) de Filipinas. También se estudia utilizar emisoras de frecuencia modulada y onda media así como plataformas digitales. En su momento se informará a todos sus oyentes donde poder seguir escuchando sus programas. El PACIFIC ASIAN LISTENERS GUIDE es una guía de radio de la zona de Asía y el Pacífico que se publicó por primera vez en el año 2.001, cuenta con una nueva actualización correspondiente al mes de Junio del 2.025. En esta ocasión consta de 380 páginas en formato PDF y que contiene información de miles de emisoras de 44 países en onda media y larga de la zona, con datos de los transmisores, potencia, frecuencias, distintivos de llamada, horarios, idiomas, etc. Además, contiene dos listados, uno ordenado por frecuencias y otro por países. También cuenta con un listado de radiobalizas. Se puede descargar de forma totalmente gratuita visitando la página web: www.radioheritage.com Por último, desde Estados Unidos, RADIO MARTI ha regresado de nuevo a la onda corta pero sólo con una emisión de 14.00 a 22.00 de lunes a viernes por las frecuencias de 11.860 y 13.605 en dirección a Cuba. Andes de despedirnos, recuerden que pueden oír y leer este informe en radio.aer.org.es, además todos sus programas diexistas favoritos están en la web programasdx.com, donde hay un total de 10 programas disponibles. Y, si lo desean, pueden escribirnos a correo@aer.org.es, desde nuestro sitio web aer.org.es así como desde nuestro perfil en Facebook. ¡Hasta el próximo mes, muchos 73s y buenos DX!

The Worked All Europe DX CW Contest starts at 0000UTC on Saturday, the 9th and ends at 2359UTC on Sunday, the 10th of August. Using CW on the 80 to 10m bands, where contests are permitted, the exchange is signal report and serial number. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 31st of July 2025 Last week was very much a repeat performance of the week before. We had relatively calm geomagnetic conditions and few solar flares to contend with. The only flares were minor C-class events. The Kp index never got above 3, and the solar flux index was in the 140s to 150s. The F2-layer maximum usable frequency over a 3,000km path rose to 21MHz but didn't get much higher, which is normal for the summer period. A team from Norfolk Amateur Radio Club was active as GM0FRT/P from the Shetland Islands for the IOTA contest. They were workable from JO02NN on 14 and 21MHz for much of the contest period. The distance to Shetland from central UK is about 887km, or 551 miles. Given the distance involved, the 21MHz openings were probably Sporadic-E, but they were loud for hours on end. Other DX worked last week included T30TTT from Western Kiribati on the 10m band using FT8 over the North Pole. 9M8A from East Malaysia was also on the 10m band using FT8. XW4KV from Laos was on the 12m band operating FT8. 3B9SP on Rodriguez Island put in an appearance on the 17 and 12m bands using FT8. The station was also worked using CW on the 40, 30, 20 and 15m bands. That's not a bad haul for summer DX and if the Kp index can stay low, we could get similar next week. Speaking of which, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will be in the range of 150 to 160 next week. Unsettled geomagnetic conditions are forecast for the period of the 7th to the 14th of August, with a maximum predicted Kp index of 5. And finally, there is talk of a possible large sunspot group on the far side of the Sun. The region in question belongs to a cluster of spots, including AR 4136, 4139 and 4143, last seen earlier this month. Solar rotation will carry what remains of these regions back into view next week. So, keep an eye on solarham.com  for up-to-date details. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The slightly unsettled theme to the weather will remain into next week, although there are signs that high pressure will try to return in the middle of the week for a time. Models disagree on details, with some bringing another thundery low into the south later. This means that there will be some Tropo at times and, in high summer, this tends to be generally strongest around the coasts. To benefit from these conditions inland it's better to wait for night cooling. As usual with thundery weather, it's a good chance to listen for rain scatter on the GHz bands. Another mode that still deserves attention is meteor scatter. Look out for the early stirrings of the August Perseids, which peak around the 12th and 13th of the month.  Surprisingly, Aurora is staying in the limelight. Periodic alerts are suggesting it's worth turning your VHF beams north if you notice any signs of fluttery HF signals or discover the Kp index has risen to 5 or above. If auroral activity appears on the 10 or 6m bands, then check the higher bands as the event develops. Sporadic-E is now in its occasional phase as we move into August. It is less common than in June, but still worth considering. Check the usual cluster maps and Propquest to see how the day is unfolding. Moon declination is negative, falling to a minimum on Tuesday, the 5th. So, Moon windows and peak elevation will also decline. Path losses reached maximum at apogee on the 1st of August, so are starting to fall again. 144MHz sky noise starts the coming week moderately, but will rise to high levels by Monday. It will reach over 300 Kelvin by Tuesday evening before falling back. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Using Keypoint Intelligence's IT Decision Makers survey as a springboard, our very own Anne Valaitis and Carl Schell are joined by colleague Jamie Bsales to discuss where organizations are in their digital maturity. The conversation touches on widely adopted technologies, the state of workflow automation, and a DX in certain vertical markets—in under a half hour, here's a clear, data-driven snapshot of how US businesses are navigating digital transformation.

Hello and welcome to episode 71 of The DX Mentor, I'm Bill, AJ8B. Between the DX Mentor Facebook page, the weekly DX column in the Ohio Section Journal, the DX section of This Week in Amateur Radio podcast, and the This Week in DX weekly YouTube episodes, I have received quite a few emails over the past months about a couple of topics. One of those is the art and process of confirming a QSO and the QSL process. Since we had already recorded an excellent episode on this very topic, I thought I would update it and then publish it. So, here it is, a discussion with Joe, W8GEX, Dave, K8DV, Tom, NR8Z, and Mike, W0VTT. If this is the first time you are joining us, Welcome! We have a back catalog covering many aspects of DX in both podcast and YouTube format. Please check us out.

 This PPV is afraid of submissions... I've seen it's true face

Vue developer Alex Riviere joins Amy to explore the fundamental differences between Vue and React, diving deep into Vue's unique approach to reactivity, templating, and developer experience. From the magic of V-Model eliminating controlled/uncontrolled input complexity to Vue's proxy-based reactivity system that "just works," Alex explains why Vue's mental model clicked for him coming from jQuery. The conversation covers Vue 3's Composition API and Script Setup syntax, the evolution from VueX to Pinia for state management, and exciting developments like Vue Vapor Mode that will eliminate the virtual DOM entirely. Alex also breaks down Evan You's recent $4.6M VoidZero funding to revolutionize JavaScript build tooling, the flexibility of Nuxt as a meta-framework, and why Vue remains approachable enough to sprinkle into any project without complex build steps. Show Notes00:00 - Intro01:10 - How Alex Got Started with Vue03:00 - Vue vs React Mental Models08:00 - Vue's Approach to Forms and V-Model10:20 - Vue Frameworks: Nuxt and the Ecosystem17:00 - Vue 2 to Vue 3 Migration Challenges19:00 - Nuxt as a Dev Dependency vs Runtime22:30 - When Do You Need a Framework with Vue?25:30 - Laravel Integration and Alpine.js Connection27:40 - Vue's Reactivity System and Proxies29:40 - State Management: VueX to Pinia Evolution32:20 - SSR and Server Components in Vue34:10 - Hosting and Deployment Options35:40 - Evan You's VoidZero Funding and Vision43:10 - Vue Vapor Mode: Eliminating Virtual DOM47:40 - Getting Started with Vue Resources48:40 - Picks and Plugs Links and ResourcesPeople MentionedAlex Riviere - @alexriviereEvan You - Vue.js creator - @youyuxiBen Hong - Vue core team member - @bencodezenDaniel Roe - Nuxt team - @danielcroeTaylor Otwell - Laravel creator - @taylorotwellVue.js ResourcesVue.js Official Site - vuejs.orgVue.js Documentation - vuejs.org/guideVue School - vueschool.ioVue Mastery - vuemastery.comFrameworks & Tools MentionedNuxt - nuxt.comVite - vitejs.devAstro - astro.buildPinia (Vue state management) - pinia.vuejs.orgVueX (legacy state management) - vuex.vuejs.orgAlpine.js - alpinejs.devLaravel - laravel.comLivewire - livewire.laravel.comSolid.js - solidjs.comReact - react.devSvelte - svelte.devBuild Tools & InfrastructureESBuild - esbuild.github.ioRollup - rollupjs.orgNitroPack - nitro.unjs.ioWebpack - webpack.js.orgVoidZero (Evan You's new company) - voidzero.devHosting PlatformsNetlify - netlify.comVercel - vercel.comCloudflare - cloudflare.comReact Ecosystem (for comparison)Next.js - nextjs.orgRemix - remix.runRedwoodJS - redwoodjs.comGatsby - gatsbyjs.comPodcasts & ContentDeja Vue Podcast - dejavue.fm (mentioned Evan You VoidZero interview)Vue.js Conferences - VueConf eventsTechnical Concepts to ResearchVue Composition API - vuejs.org/guide/extras/composition-api-faq.htmlVue Script Setup - vuejs.org/api/sfc-script-setup.htmlVue Directives - vuejs.org/guide/essentials/template-syntax.html#directivesVue Reactivity - vuejs.org/guide/extras/reactivity-in-depth.htmlVue Vapor Mode (experimental) - github.com/vuejs/core-vaporJavaScript Proxies - MDN Proxy DocumentationSignals (reactive programming) - General concept in modern frameworksPicks & PlugsDropout TV - Nobody Asked - dropout.tvCodeMash Conference - codemash.orgWhoosh Screen Cleaner - https://amzn.to/4nBR5UtAdditional Helpful ResourcesVue 2 to Vue 3 Migration Guide - v3-migration.vuejs.orgVue vs React Comparison - vuejs.org/guide/extras/composition-api-faq.html#comparison-with-react-hooksIslands Architecture - jasonformat.com/islands-architecture

Sarath & Joe are experienced, passionate DXers and the conversation should be lively and informative.  This text is what grabbed my attention and made me realize that VU2RS would be a great guest. “In celebration of World DX Day, DX India Foundation is proud to announce its commitment to promoting DXing activities from India. Following the resounding success of previous IOTA activations, such as Sacrifice Rock, Kanika Island, Sagar Island, and Nachugunta IOTA, the foundation is gearing up for more exciting adventures. DX India Foundation's primary objective is to activate rare IOTAs, organize DXpeditions, and foster a vibrant DXing culture in the region. To achieve this goal, thefoundation is seeking support from manufacturers, individuals, and organizations to acquire essential equipment, including: – HF radios and amplifiers. – Band-pass filters and power supplies. – Tents and generators. – Coax cables and all necessary accessories. The foundation plans to establish a self-sufficient setup, comprising three stations, which can be easily transported in a container to various locations. This will enable DX India Foundation to activate rare IOTAs and provide DXers and IOTA chasers with exciting opportunities to log new entities. By promoting DXing activities and providing support to IOTA enthusiasts, DX India Foundation hopes to elevate the region's profile in the global amateur radio community. Join us in celebrating World DX Day and stay tuned for updates on DX India Foundation's initiatives and activities! for more details: sara@vu2rs.com 73, Sarath,VU2RS - DX India Foundation” Here is some information about our guest:Sarath was born and raised in Hyderabad, India. He developed an interest in amateur radio at the age of 15, inspired by Bharathi, VU2RBI, and his family of hams. This early exposure sparked a lifelong passion for amateur radio. In recognition of his family's remarkable achievement, they were featured in the Guinness Book of Records for having the largest number of amateur radio operators in a single family - an impressive 60 hams!  Sarath has received several awards and recognition for his contributions to amateur radio and public service, including:  - Rajiv Gandhi Award for Amateur Radio(1996-97 and 1997-98) - International Humanitarian Award - Honorary citizenship of Florida State, USA  All of this and contest work, DXpeditions, Fox Hunting and EMCOMM will be discussed.

RAW is Jericho on April, 17th 2000! WWF RAW opens the show hot with Chris Jericho vs Triple H, in what was scheduled as a non-title match with Triple H defending the honor of Stephanie McMahon. Jericho verbally assaults Triple H and convinces him to put the WWF Championship on the line right now! After a referee gets bumped during the match, Earl Hebner comes in at the end of the match and counts the pin for Chris Jericho. Chris Jericho is the NEW WWF Champion, for all of 2 minutes. Triple H argues with the refs and says that Earl made a fast count and needs to reverse the decision. Earl agrees as long as Triple H doesn't mess with him while he works for the WWF. Triple H goes along with it until he gets his title back. He then fires Hebner and beats him up. Also, Linda McMahon is here with a big surprise that she won't tell anyone about. She goes into the ring and says that Stone Cold Steve Austin will be in the corner of The Rock at the Backlash against Triple H. This makes Triple H and Stephanie upset and Stephanie goes to slap her mom. However, Linda was ready and countered it by slapping her back. Plus, The Hardyz vs Eddie and Essa Rios, Crash Holly vs Perry Saturn vs Tazz and much more. In the main event, Chris Jericho teams with the APA to take on DX! ⦁ Deadlock Discord: https://discord.gg/E4BvR4W⦁ Deadlock Shop: https://shop.deadlockpw.com⦁ Deadlock Patreon: https://patreon.com/deadlockpw⦁ Deadlock Twitter: https://twitter.com/deadlockpw⦁ Deadlock Instagram: https://instagram.com/deadlockwrestling⦁ Deadlock Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/deadlockpw⦁ Deadlock Pro Wrestling: http://deadlockpro.com
