This is John Barentine's second appearance and we still haven't exhausted the conversation. How do we solve the light pollution problem? John has some ideas. Use reason and science and, as is John's mission, give people the transformational experience of the night sky. How do we help that happen? By implementing the existing knowledge and technology of the lighting industry that knows how to make that a reality NOW! John Barentine is the Principal Consultant at Dark Sky Consulting, LLC, and was formerly the Director of Public Policy for the International Dark-Sky Association. He earned a Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Texas at Austin, and previously held staff positions at the National Solar Observatory, Apache Point Observatory, and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Throughout his career, he has been involved in education and outreach efforts to help increase the public understanding of science. He is a member of the American Astronomical Society and the International Astronomical Union, and is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. The asteroid (14505) Barentine is named in his honor. His interests outside of astronomy and light pollution research include history, art and architecture, politics, law and current events.

Solar activity goes through cycles. The main one is about 11 years long and its maximum is marked by powerful eruptions of electromagnetic radiation known as solar flares, as well as releases of plasma known as coronal mass ejections. The most powerful known flare happened in 1859 and led to telegraph stations catching fire across the US, and Northern and Southern Lights becoming visible in the tropics. Host Dr Alfredo Carpineti spoke with Dr Ryan French, astronomer at the National Solar Observatory and author of The Sun: Beginner's Guide to Our Local Star, to find out about solar flares and what would happen if a massive one took place today.

The sun might not shape the pattern of our daily lives to the extent it did in the past. But understanding its behaviour is a focus of scientific research to grasp how activity on the surface of the sun - such as geomagnetic storms - can affect life on earth. "Space weather" can take out whole power networks, damage satellites and disrupt communication lines – the technology on which so many people rely. Bridget Kendall and guests examine the sun's impact throughout history, and discuss what we know about its internal structure and magnetic fields. Claire Raftery is a solar physicist and the Head of Education and Outreach at the National Solar Observatory in Boulder, Colorado; Philip Judge is a senior scientist at the High Altitude Observatory also in Boulder, Colorado. He's written many papers on aspects of solar physics, as well as a book entitled The Sun: A Very Short Introduction; and philosopher Emma Carenini is the author of The Sun: Myths, History and Societies which considers how the sun has shaped philosophy and thought.

GB2RS NEWS Sunday the 13th of December 2020 The news headlines: New RadCom Basics released Awards Manager appointed Charity auction for special Morse key   The next edition of RadCom Basics is now available. Articles include Are you making full use of the RSGB? Antennas and planning matters, Metal bashing with basic workshop practices, the FT8 digital mode and Revisiting a Start Here article on How filters can help remove interference from outside the amateur bands. RSGB Members can read previous editions of RadCom Basics by going to www.rsgb.org/radcom-basics. You can register at the same address to receive notification of subsequent issues as they become available. The RSGB Board has appointed a new Awards Manager, Lindsay Pennell, G8PMA. An avid award collector himself, Lindsay already volunteers as an RSGB QSL Bureau Sub-manager and has recently served on the Legacy Committee. He will start his new role next week. He can be contacted then via email to awards@rsgb.org.uk. The RSGB and NHS Campaign ‘Get on the air for Christmas’ is off to a great start this week with the launch of a charity auction to raise money for NHS Charities Together. Roy Bailey, G0VFS created his beautifully-engineered VirusPerpleXed Bug CW Key during the first lockdown and has kindly donated it for the auction. You can bid for the item on eBay by going to https://tinyurl.com/RSGB-charity-auction before 7.30 pm on Saturday the 19th of December, which is when the auction ends. On Sunday the 20th of December, GB1NHS will be on the air from the RSGB National Radio Centre to raise awareness of ‘Get on the air for Christmas’ and to chat to as many radio amateurs as possible. Listen out for them and give them a call. The world’s largest solar observatory, located on the island of Maui in Hawaii, has released its first image of a sunspot, which captures the phenomenon in striking detail. The image, taken last January, is among the first solar images of the new Solar Cycle 25 and can be seen at https://tinyurl.com/gb2rs-sunspot. The telescope’s 4m primary mirror will give the best views of the sun from Earth throughout the next solar cycle. Thanks to the National Solar Observatory for the story. Gremlins got into the January 2021 edition of RadCom. A draft version of G4JNT’s Coherent ADC article was inadvertently printed, for which we apologise. A corrected version can be found on the RSGB website – go to www.rsgb.org/radcom and click on Supplementary material and errata. Sadly, the Australian regulator, ACMA has decided against permitting that country’s amateurs a 5MHz/60m allocation. It says, in balancing defence’s existing use of the 5351.5–5366.5kHz band against the impacts of introducing use by the amateur service, the ACMA has decided not to support amateur use in the band. The ACMA recognises the high level of interest shown by the amateur community in adding this band and understands there will be disappointment. You can read the full document at https://tinyurl.com/gb2rs-acma. The 80m RSGB National Radio Centre Net continues to run each weekday at 10.30 am on 3.727MHz. The NRC volunteers are keen for radio amateurs to call in. So get on the air and have a chat – they’d love to hear from you. Would you like to volunteer for the RSGB? Its President Dave Wilson, M0OBW will retire at the AGM and the Society is looking for one elected Board Director. In addition, there are three Regional Representative vacancies in Regions 2, 6 and 12 because the current post holders were co-opted into a vacancy after the last AGM. Each one has indicated their willingness to stand for election but applications are also welcome from all RSGB Members living in these particular Regions. The nomination process must be completed by 2359 on 31 January 2021 and the results will be announced at the RSGB AGM, which will be held online on 24 April 2021.

The Second Machine Generated Mode contest ends its 24-hour run at 1400UTC today, the 13th. Using any machine-generated mode on the 50 and 144MHz bands, the exchange is signal report and your 4-character locator. The ARRL 10m Contest ends its 48-hour run at 2359UTC today, the 13th. The contest is CW and phone only. The exchange is signal report and serial number with US stations sending their State code and Canadians their Province code. On Tuesday the 1.3GHz UK Activity Contest runs from 2000 to 2230UTC. Using all modes, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. On Thursday the 70MHz UK Activity Contest runs from 2000 to 2230UTC. Using all modes, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. The UK Six Metre Group Winter Marathon runs until the end of January 2021. Just exchange a signal report and locator. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA & G4BAO on Friday the 11th of December. We said last week that it would be hard to predict what would happen over the next seven days – and that turned out to be true. The coronal hole we mentioned last week didn’t really amount to much, and sunspot region 2790 didn’t either. As a result, the solar flux index fell to 82 by Thursday, with region 2790 shrinking and with no other sunspots on the visible face of the Sun. A B-class solar flare on the 7th of December resulted in a coronal mass ejection that impacted the Earth in the early hours of the 10th. This pushed the Kp index to four, but the effects were relatively short-lived and the index was back down to one by midday. Propquest’s ionosonde readings reflected the CME’s effects in the early hours but showed the MUF over a 3,000km path was back to 21-24MHz by mid-morning. There were other minor solar flare events during the week, but nothing as intense as the flare on the 7th. There was DX around last week. Bob, VP8LP in the Falkland Islands and numerous Brazilian stations have been audible in the afternoon on 10m FT8. Australia and New Zealand have both been workable on 20m FT8 in the morning as well. NOAA got its SFI prediction pretty much spot-on last week. It said we could expect to see it in the low 80s by the end of the week and so it was! Next week NOAA says it will be around 86, but we can expect poorer conditions around the 18th and 19th due to a geomagnetic disturbance. Region 2783 returns again this week, but the prediction is that is unlikely to be that active. So this week, focus your DXing efforts at the beginning of the week as conditions may be worse by next weekend. And now the VHF and up propagation news. It will be another quiet week for Tropo propagation, with the next few days looking to be once again dominated by unsettled weather. Low pressure mostly to the northwest of Britain will feed a succession of fronts and bands of rain across the country. This makes rain scatter a probable mode for the GHz bands, and not much chance to cheer up any Tropo operators. It may also be rather breezy in some areas and mostly milder again. The Geminids meteor shower is well underway and peaks tomorrow on the 14th, so expect high activity on the digimode frequencies on all the VHF bands. If you have 100 watts and a beam on two or six metres, why not try an SSB sked at the peak? All that chanting of callsigns and “Roger, Roger” can be very therapeutic! The high ZHR of 150 means that this is quite possible. Also, look for signal bursts around 49.750MHz from the few remaining Eastern European TV carriers, and on 143.050MHz for the Graves bistatic radar from France. The Moon is at minimum declination on Tuesday so there are short visibility windows all week. Losses are low with the Moon at perigee today. 144MHz sky noise is high and increasing and the Sun and Moon are very close tomorrow and low, not falling below 500 kelvin until Wednesday. And that’s all from the propagation team this week.

Eclipse 2017 (start time 5:56): This summer America will experience its first total solar eclipse in almost 30 years. How on Earth’s Alejandro Soto speaks with Dr. Claire Raftery from the National Solar Observatory (NSO) about the upcoming eclipse. Dr. Raftery talks about the science and history of eclipses, the best ways to view the eclipse in August, and how to safely look at an eclipse. Fortunateley, viewing the eclipse only requires a few simple steps and some inexpensive tools, so anyone can experience this exciting event -- as long as they can drive to a place in the path of the eclipse. Dr. Raftery also talks about the NSO's webseries about the eclipse and our Sun. Finally,  there is the opportunity to participate in solar science research by taking part in the Citizen Cate program, a citizen science project that uses telescopes scattered along the path of the eclipse to collaboratively monitor the entire eclipse event.
