GB2RS News Sunday the 7th of July 2024   The news headlines: A revised Direct to Full examination syllabus has been released The RSGB has announced its representative for the 2024 YOTA camp The RSGB British Science Week Time challenge is an opportunity for constructors The new amateur radio licence has now been in effect for a few months and changes to the licence conditions have necessitated revision to the examination syllabus. Tony Kent, G8PBH, who is the RSGB Examinations Standards Committee Chair, has announced that he is pleased to release version 2.0 of the Direct to Full syllabus, including these revisions. Compared to the version in current use, the only section that has seen major changes is Section 1: “Licensing and station identification”. Section 2: “Operating practices and procedures” has seen some minor changes, for example with regard to suffixes. The RSGB will begin examining to version 2.0 of the syllabus on the 1st of October 2024. It will not be taking any bookings for Direct to Full examinations to take place in September. You can find the syllabus on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/direct-to-full The RSGB is pleased to announce that it will be represented at this summer's Youngsters on the Air camp by Rhys Williams, M0WGY / AJ6XD. The event, which is organised by the IARU Region 1 Youth Working Group together with the Czech Radio Club, will be held between the 16th and 23rd of August 2024 in Prague, Czechia. Rhys is currently studying aerospace engineering at Cambridge University and is going on to do a PhD in engineering at Oxford University from September. He says he has found a lot of joy in the building aspect of amateur radio and enjoys contesting with his university amateur radio club. Find out more about Rhys and this inspirational annual YOTA camp on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/yota-camp Are you looking for your next construction challenge?

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Thursday the 4th of July 2024 After a rough spot last weekend, the Sun has since behaved itself, allowing HF propagation to get back to normal. To recap, the Kp index hit 7.67 on Friday the 28th of June, thanks to incoming plasma from a coronal mass ejection. For a time, it looked like we might have a repeat performance of the 10th of May when the Kp index hit 9 and there was a visible aurora across the UK. This time around, however, conditions calmed down again and 24 hours later the Kp index was back to 2.33. Since then, the Sun has remained calm with only two M-class and zero X-class flares, and the Kp index is back in the 1 to 3 range. This means that the ionosphere has had a chance to build up and we have been seeing MUFs over a 3,000km path exceeding 21MHz and often reaching 24MHz. That's pretty good considering we are in the Summer HF doldrums. An analysis of the Sun's active sunspot regions shows that two are growing, five are declining and one is stable. WSPRNet.org shows that signals have been getting to the UK from Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the Far East on the 15m band, while 28MHz is still mainly open to short-hop Sporadic-E contacts across Europe. The solar flux index has declined over the past week and was sitting at 167 on Thursday the 4th of July. Next week, NOAA predicts it will remain around the 170 mark, with quiet geomagnetic conditions. However, solar flares and coronal mass ejections remain hard to predict so keep an eye on Solarham.com and Propquest.co.uk for a real-time view of solar and geomagnetic conditions. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The weather sequence to the end of next week is much like an autumn pattern in that the story is all about areas of low pressure, showers and weather fronts. None of this suggests that Tropo will be a feature of the weather. In fact, high-pressure systems simply do not appear on the charts at all. We can leave rain scatter on the list and, since it is technically summer, or meant to be, there is a lot of energy in any showers. Indeed, some may be heavy and thundery and are probably good rain-scatter candidates. Meteor scatter, in the absence of major showers, is most likely around the dawn period when random meteors tend to be more prevalent. The solar conditions continue to offer much variability and it is always worth checking for elevated Kp index values, which can be a signal for aurora to occur. As a general guide check the bands when Kp reaches 5 or higher. The Sporadic-E season continues, although recently there have been some higher-than-ideal Kp indices, which unlike for aurora need to be at lower values, say below a Kp index of 3, for ideal Sporadic-E conditions. The other ingredient that tends to promote Sporadic-E is the presence of jet streams in the upper atmosphere around 10 to 15km up. It is believed that these can generate atmospheric gravity waves that can propagate up to the E region at 110km where they become part of the process for making Sporadic-E. This unsettled autumn-like weather is providing plenty of jet streams, so it continues to be worth checking for Sporadic-E. A quick look at the upper air pattern suggests that paths towards Scandinavia and the Baltic may be productive, and perhaps to Iberia later next week. Moon declination is close to maximum positive this coming weekend so Moon peak elevation will be high. Moon apogee is on Friday the 12th so EME path losses continue to increase. 144MHz sky noise is low all week.  And that's all from the propagation team this week.

GB2RS News Sunday the 30th of June 2024   The news headlines: The IARU HF Championship is coming up Learn about the QMX+ transceiver at the next RSGB Tonight@8 webinar The Examinations Standards Committee has published its annual report   The IARU HF Championship contest will be held between the 13th and 14th of July and there is a great opportunity for you to get involved in a different way this year. During the contest, ‘Headquarters Stations' represent their countries and the RSGB's station GR2HQ will be run by a network of about a dozen stations around the UK and islands. This year, the RSGB Contest Committee has introduced a new challenge to encourage individual stations to work the GR2HQ station on each band-mode slot. You will be able to submit your log, including QSOs with GR2HQ, to the RSGB contest robot for the GR2HQ Challenge. If you include your club or group name when you submit your log, each QSO with GR2HQ will count towards an aggregate score for your club or team. There will be two results tables, one for individuals taking part and one for clubs, so your QSOs can contribute to both! Why not encourage your club members to take part in this special challenge whether they are regular contesters or not. By contacting the GR2HQ station you'll also help the RSGB's position in the contest – last year the RSGB came third and the Society would love to improve on that result. You can read more in the June RadCom feature on the GR2HQ Challenge and you can see the rules on the RSGB website at thersgb.org/go/gr2hq The next RSGB Tonight@8 webinar is on Monday the 8th of July when Hans Summers, G0UPL from QRP Labs will give a presentation on the QMX+ multi-mode 160 to 6m transceiver kit design and features. This is a great opportunity to find out more and ask questions live on the night. You can watch on the RSGB YouTube channel or special BATC channel. Find out more about the webinar on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/webinars The Examinations Standards Committee has published its annual report, relating to activities in 2023. Whilst the report shows that in 2023 there were fewer candidates across all licence levels, the number of people taking exams so far in 2024 has increased significantly. Another item in the report relates to the preparations that are being made to release the bank of questions for the Full licence exam. The ESC Chair, Tony Kent, G8PBH says that it has long been recognised that a review of the question bank, particularly at Full level, is well overdue and has been delayed multiple times by things such as the need to revise the syllabus for EMF and the new licence changes. Reviewing the question bank is the next priority of the ESC and the Exams and Syllabus Review Group and will begin on the 1st of September when Syllabus 1.6 is up and running. The ESC and ESRG believe it is better that this review is conducted before the bank is published as this should reduce the workload on the community and the exams teams in making and responding to queries on questions that may be withdrawn. They are hoping to release the questions in January 2025. To see the full ESC report go to rsgb.org/esc  and click on the minutes, papers and reports tab on the right.

In fact, you couldn't ask for better! But is that all about to change? With nine active solar regions on the Sun's surface and the return of old region 3664, now renamed 3723, it would be a brave person to suggest otherwise. So, let's take a closer look at the Sun. Of the nine active regions that are visible, four are classed as stable, one is classed as declining and four are classed as growing. With a solar flux index of 181, there is plenty of UV radiation around. However, we are currently in the summer doldrums so maximum useable frequencies, or MUFs, are lower than they are in the Autumn and Winter. In other words, we are not going to see a return to reliable worldwide DX conditions on the higher bands until mid to late September. There is currently only a 5% chance of a strong X-class solar flare, although a bright coronal mass ejection was observed for a second day off the Sun's west limb. This was directed away from our planet so shouldn't affect us. NOAA predicts that the Kp index could rise due to CME arrivals from an event that left the Sun on the 24th of June. Expect a Kp of 4 or 5, with a reduction in the MUF until the geomagnetic disruption abates. It also predicts that the solar flux index will remain in the region of 190, hopefully with a low Kp index after the ionosphere settles again. MUFs over a 3,000km path are generally between 18 and 23MHz during daylight and around 18MHz at night. This means that for the next month or so we may expect 14MHz to remain open throughout the night.   And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The current week finishes with a return to unsettled weather and cooler air, after a brief taste of summer, particularly in the south of Britain. There will be lows drifting in from the Atlantic during the coming week, as well as the occasional passing weather front. Although there was some Tropo last week, during the brief period of high pressure, this is unlikely to be repeated in the coming week. Therefore, we have a continuing random chance of some rain scatter, but you will need one of the many online weather radar displays to track the scatter regions down. Since next week also looks windier, you might have to keep one hand on the rotator! Meteor scatter is once again down to random events, which means an early start in the shack to capture the higher rates in the early mornings. The solar conditions continue to keep trying to creep into VHF affairs with a higher Kp index and thoughts of radio aurora, but it's probably not a strong shout. Now to our last item – Sporadic-E. There is still the broad summer Sporadic-E peak, which extends into the first week of September in a good year, so you have plenty of time. It will not always be there but, in a test analysis of Dourbes data in June 2022, 84% of the days reached 10m, with 18% up to 6m and around 10% to 4m or above. This makes it worth using the 10m band to highlight the regions of activity and then check the 6m beacons in case it strengthens to bring in the higher bands. Moon declination goes positive again this coming weekend so Moon peak elevation and window lengths will increase. Perigee was on Thursday the 27th so EME path losses are increasing again. 144MHz sky noise is low at the start of the coming week and moderate later. From Friday afternoon on the 5th of July to midday on Saturday, the Moon and the Sun are very close in the sky, meaning high noise for all but the narrowest beamwidth antennas. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Once again it’s San Diego ComicCon time. And, once again the Regular Joe’s stayed on the East Coast and read about it online. This of course does not stop them from talking about it at great length. They were major announcements regarding the Marvel Cinematic ... and soon to be, Streaming Universe. Just weeks after the conclusion of MCU’s Stage 3 we have the very ambitious roadmap for 2020 to 2021’s Stage 4, and even some hints at what lies beyond. They was also quite a bit of Star Trek news, as Starship Captain turned vintner Jean Luc Picard Is joined by some familiar, and not so familiar, faces as he returns to episodic TV. Hear what other TV and film announcements the Joes are excited about, as well as new offerings from Hot Toys, QMx and others. Along the way we run through some random topics, and in our selfless effort to bolster the American economy, we take a look at What’s in the Box. Lastly we bid farewell to a truly good movie bad guy, Rutger Hauer. To see all the items referenced in this episode check out the episode 297 tab at regularjoe’s.com where you’ll find photos and links.  Thanks for listening!

Each and every week, your hosts revisit an episode of the series in the order in which they first premiered. They discuss their favorite jokes, gags, and discuss all the cultural references they can find! In this special episode, Kelly is away so Joey and Nathan get to whatever they want, which is of course talk about current Animaniacs merchandise and review the fourth issue of the Animaniacs comic book. New Animaniacs Merchandise and a Review of Animaniacs Issue #4 New Merchandise Joey and Nathan discuss what Animaniacs apparel is hot at Hot Topic and other clothing outlets. They also discuss the figurines from Qmx and Funko, and where you can find them! Animaniacs Issue #4 REANIMANIACS Plotz is organizing a celebration for the old black and white comedy days for the Big Wig club.  The Warners are determined to help so they hold a seance… and bring back black and white versions of themselves?  Ok, it doesn’t make a lot of sense but Nathan and Joey discuss their favorite parts and where things went wrong HELLOOOO, WATSON! The Warners want to order Pizza but the telephone hasn’t been invented, so they help Alexander Graham Bell invent it.  Once the telephone is invented, and the Warners have ordered their pizza, they immediately become the first Crank Callers, causing total mayhem, until Graham Bell cuts their cord.  There are some pretty good gags here, and some wild theories that Joey and Nathan come up with in this atypical Animaniacs segment SPACE CASE It’s Pinky and Brain in space!!  Pinky and the brain travel to Venus to meet the Venusians  to obtain their mind controlling technologies, but the Venusians are basically cats, who try to eat Pinky and the Brain.  Listen to Joey and Nathan tear this comic apart, figuratively speaking, as they talk about what may be the worse Pinky and the Brain ever conceived.

News http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Animated_Series Shortly before Fontana's report, NBC had replaced its old Nielsen rating system with a new and updated one.

"Can you learn to see in the dark, Captain?" - Shinzon It was a dark movie. Literally and figuratively.  It ended up being the last of the Star Trek movies with the TNG cast.  But was it a worthy finale?? This week, the Trek Geeks will give their take on Star Trek: Nemesis.  Their memories of the 2002 film are not as positive as other feature films, and they will jump right into the reasons why this was a less than stellar big screen exit for Picard and his crew. Prime Directive violations, dark sets, "tired" acting.  This list goes on and on.  But fear not, there are plenty of things that the Geeks liked, and they will get into those too! Plus, perhaps the biggest announcement ever from our good friends at Star Trek Continues dropped this week!  Also, a familiar face recently got to test out the new Star Trek Bridge Crew virtual reality game.  What did she have to say? In addition, if you are attending San Diego ComicCon or STLV, you may want to make some room for a new con exclusive Holiday Keepsake ornament!  Finally, QMx is releasing a replica of a classic TOS piece of furniture and we have all the details for you!

We are truly grateful to them for allowing us to use their music for every episode of Trek Geeks. You really should check them out--they're writing and recording one original song for each episode of  the classic Star Trek series from the 1960's. Warp on over to their website at FiveYearMission.net and check out all of their fantastic albums!  You can hear them all: Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, The Trouble with Tribbles, and of course, the amazing Spock's Brain!  Plus, here is a little secret...they are working on Year 4 right now! Here’s a rundown of the Five Year Mission songs you'll hear in this episode!

SPOILER they all liked it. Find out why, as well as what other Star Trek figures and accessories they are hoping to see.

Host James Burns is joined by RADIO 1138's Mark Newbold to cover all the products and licensees from the show floor, featuring interviews with representatives from Kotobukiya and QMx.

Dave says we're talking too much about TV shows. He's probably right. This week the Regular Joe's discuss another favorite topic, Prop Replicas. Find out which items are their favorites, what would they most like to see from manufacturers such as QMX, The Wand Company, Anovos and . . . Yes, Hasbro. Learn which home built projects they (meaning Dave) are contemplating, what would Tod grab in event of a fire, and what does Barry own too many of to carry. All this plus Random Topics and a round of What's in the Box. Thanks for listening . . . And, hey, don't touch that. It's expensive.

This week Dave, Barry and Tod each added a couple of new action figures to their respective collections. Ok, so yeah, that hardly seems noteworthy, but in this case all three bought the same two figures. Do the long awaited 1/6 scale Kirk and Spock figures from QMx meet expectations? How does this release, only the second time at bat for QMX, stack up to industry standard bearers like Hot Toys? On the 'B-Side' the Rolling Stone rolled out their list of 100 Greatest TV shows of all time. The Regular Joes weigh in on where they agree, disagree, and discuss whether there is even any point, other then selling issues, to trying to define such a list. All this plus the usual Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

Mike was at SDCC 2016 and we discuss all the goodness from Hot Toys, Sideshow, QMX, Blitzway, Mezco and Blitzway.

We have some advance reviews of Star Trek from QMX and Sons of Anarchy along with Hot Toys Ultron, Iron Man Mark 45, Flame Trooper, Old Man Arnie, Stan Lee and Dumbledore and Hagrid from StarAce.

It's Toy Fair! that magical time of the year when the Toy Industry descends upon NYC to offer up new objects of desire for children and adult collectors alike. Dave, Barry and Tod review some this year's notables, including items from QMX, Hot Toys and Hasbro, and they reminisce a bit about time spent walking the carpet at the Javits center in years past. Add to this a few Random Topics, and a round of Show and Tell, and we have episode 131. Thanks for Listening!

It may only be July, but Hallmark Gold Crown stores across the United States are stocking their shelves with four new additions to this long-running line, including a helmsman, an Orion Slave Girl, a monstrous ship, and something that could be considered a fire hazard for your tree—if it were real. See the new ornaments. http://www.startrek.com/article/first-look-hallmarks-star-trek-ornaments-for-christmas-2014   Quantum Mechanix refits your desktop If you love collecting starships, there's a new replica headed for your desktop—and it isn't from the Official Starships Collection. Quantum Mechanix, better known as QMx, will soon introduce a metal version of the original USS Enterprise 1701 refit. See the new QMx replica. http://www.startrek.com/article/first-look-enterprise-refit-desktop-replica

This episode is NO JOKE, okay? The tahpics go from Japanese Vaders to Dream 6inchers to Raccoons and even some Shakespeare. Are you complaining about Shakespeare? What? No! Jacky Jack Nicholson is here to bring the Shat, baby.

GET OUT THE TRES LECHES - it's another PO66 Anniversary Special! Aiming to misbehave, the crew boldly go where no GERMAN BIRD has gone before. Can Godzilla's mission to restore family values change the podcast forever? Or will a NEW kaiju rise?

Welcome to our May show! Not to put to fine a point on it - Dallas Comic Con May 2014 WAS FANTASTIC.

Scientific Method. Aliens performing experiments on the crew without their knowledge is nothing new for Star Trek. The Next Generation did it to very creepy effect in “Schisms.” Enterprise also did it—in a somewhat different way—in “Observer Effect.” But Voyager delivered perhaps the most entertaining lab rats-in-space story in the Season Four episode “Scientific Method.” In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Charlynn Schmiedt, Phillip Gilfus, and Daniel Proulx to talk about Tom and B'Elanna getting busy in engineering, Seven and the Doctor wearing tights, a potential Chakotay-Neelix spinoff, Janeway channeling Sisko, and, for some reason, Muppet fanfic. In our news segment we take a look at a theatrical run for Shatner's World, Leonard Nimoy and the Boston Pops, QMx's salvaging of the Voyager commbadge, and StarTrek.com's interview with Susan Gibney—the Almost-Janeway.

Explorers. During the second season, DS9 focused its stories more and more on characters. But as Jake grew up it became harder to figure out how to handle the father-son relationship with Sisko. Then, in the third season, the perfect story came along, pitched by show intern Hilary Bader. In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Matthew Rushing, Drew Stewart, and Ben McCormick to discuss “Explorers” and how inspiration from Heyerdahl's 1947 voyage aboard the Kon-Tiki was the perfect vehicle for bringing the two Siskos together. We also explore the budding bromance between O'Brien and Bashir, and whether we're losing something special in our lives as the digital age takes over from the analog. In our news segment we find Creation Entertainment encouraging another run at the costume record at Star Trek Las Vegas, take a peek at what DS9's logo could have been, cook breakfast with the Enterprise spatula, take QMx's NX-01 artisan replica for a flight, and discuss John Eaves's account of designing Star Trek Into Darkness. Plus, we reveal a cosplay loophole that could help fans shatter that world record set at Destination Star Trek London.

Waltz. From the beginning of Deep Space Nine, the futures of Sisko and Dukat were intertwined. Beginning as a standoff between two commanding officers on different sides of a conflict, this dance evolved into a standoff between two sides in a spiritual endgame. In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Gwen Maddison and Ben McCormick to discuss the story that set Sisko and Dukat off on their final journeys to the Fire Caves. We also debate whether or not the Federation failed Dukat and if he is truly evil, as Sisko maintains. In news we cover the fluctuating price of TNG Season 2 on Blu-ray, familiar faces on Broadway, QMX's new Communicator badge, updates to CBS's PADD app for iOS, a new Enterprise-D book from Mike and Denise Okuda, and lots of talk about the Star Trek Into Darkness teaser trailer.

Welcome to our August Show! In this show Sheilah from the 2012 CSTS Global Committee agreed to speak with us about issues and ideas raised by Brice Staeheli a couple of shows ago and it was lovely to get their perspective as well as an update of how CSTS is progressing this year. We also welcome Beth Nelson from the Austin Browncoats and QMx back to the show along with Kazia Hodges to talk about their new venture, Geek A Bye Baby which is a fabulous geek-themed hand made baby clothes and accessories website. Enjoy!

The SDCC storm has come. A new format rises. Will Juan Bamblo be enough to rescue Preorder66 from the high-end invasion? The Jack Sack reveals his plan to clean up NY...with ButterShoes. Hella figures! Hella statues! And WHO'S THE BOSSK, BABY?!

Generations. The first film to feature the TNG cast also served as a vehicle for passing the franchise torch once and for all from Kirk to Picard. The result was a story that felt part movie, part TV show, and part barrel roll. Yes, Geordi's greatest escape from engineering comes in this film. But more importantly Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore shook up the Star Trek universe with the death of the Enterprise-D and the death of James T. Kirk. In this episode of The Ready Room hosts Christopher Jones and Greg Harbin discuss the seventh Star Trek film, how the death of Kirk was handled, and how some things could have been written differently to deliver a more satisfying transition for the greater fandom. In our news segment we look at the $5,000 QMx 1701-A replica, the final three convention appearances for Leonard Nimoy, Marina Sirtis bid to land a spot on Dancing with the Stars, preview Star Trek Las Vegas, learn about George Takei's induction into the California Hall of Fame, explain just what The Delphies are (listen up Enterprise fans!), find out when Trek Nation is coming to the Science Channel, get some details about TNG on Blu-ray, watch a new Five Year Mission video, hear what Roberto Orci has to say about possible changes to the Enterprise, take a peek at the new canon Enterprise 1701-F, and find the Voyager theme song closing out the shuttle era. 

Alright, I think we all agree right know its a great time to be a Star Trek fan and we here at Trekcast are bringing you all the latest and greatest with what's what (with Brandi T) is going on with Star Trek. So in this weeks episode Jerad Formby our Hey Star Trek blogger and if you havent read his blog you need to, and Dayton Ward author of many great Star Trek novels including the just released Star Trek Vanguard: Open Secrets join us for this weeks topic Star Trek knowledge you probably shouldnt know.
