Þórunn Elísabet Bogadóttir og Björn Þór Sigbjörnsson ræddu að fimmtudagsvenju við Boga Ágústsson um erlend málefni í Heimsglugga vikunnar. Að þessu sinni var rætt um óeirðir í þinginu í Belgrad og víðtæk mótmæli í Serbíu. Mótmælin hófust þegar þak á lestarstöð í Novi Sad hrundi í nóvember og 15 létust. Þá var rætt um afleiðingar refsitolla Donalds Trumps á efnahagslíf heimsins, Kanadamenn eru reiðir Bandaríkjastjórn og forðast að kaupa bandarískar vörur. Bílaframleiðendur og bændur í Bandaríkjunum eru einnig gramir vegna tollanna. Einnig var rætt um óánægju í Tasiilaq á austurströnd Grænlands vegna lélegra samgangna og í lokin fjallað um framburð á nafni pólsku frelsishetjunnar Lech Wałęsa.

Debatten buldrer afsted om p-sprøjten i den dansk-grønlandske presse i 1980'erne. Men hvorfor skaber et lovligt præventionsmiddel så meget kontrovers? Vi skal på opdagelse i gamle arkiver, tale med en af de grønlandske kvinder, der har fået p-sprøjten og en af de danske læger, der har givet den. Og vi begynder i hele Danmarks livmoder: Folketingssalen! Medvirkende: Anne Nørkjær Bang, Ph.d.-studerende i p-pillens og kønshormoners kulturelle historie ved Syddansk Universitet. Kirsten Brummerstedt, bruger af p-sprøjten. Hans Martin Johnsen, pensioneret gynækolog og læge i Grønland. Birgit Petterson, læge og psykiater med speciale i kvindesygdomme. Hans Christian Florian Sørensen, tidligere chefdistriktslæge i Tasiilaq. Tilrettelæggelse: Celine Klint og Anne Pilegaard Petersen Lyddesign: Martin Grønne Redaktør: Hanne Barslund

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Thursday the 8th of August 2024 Well, so much for the experts! NOAA predicted that the solar flux index would fall last week when it increased to a whopping 303 on Thursday the 8th. But this high solar flux number was accompanied by a strong risk of solar flares, so it was not all plain sailing. We have had 15 M-class and two X-class solar flare events over the past three days and the threat remains high. Coronal mass ejection activity on Wednesday resulted in NOAA and the Space Weather Prediction Centre warning of possible moderate G2 geomagnetic storming towards the later part of week ending the 11th of August. This could see the Kp index rise and the maximum usable frequency fall. Hopefully, conditions will improve after the weekend. Last week was a good one for HF propagation with a high solar flux index and low Kp index. The 10m band was open to Brazil in the late afternoon, and this appeared to be F2-layer propagation and not multi-hop Sporadic-E. Meanwhile, the 15m band has perhaps been the DX band of choice with long openings to the Far East, at least on FT8, and North America at the same time. HF conditions should also improve as we move into September, but more on that closer to the time. Attention now shifts to N5J on Jarvis Island, an uninhabited 4.5-kilometre-squared coral island in the South Pacific Ocean, about halfway between Hawaii and the Cook Islands. The DXpedition is active on all bands and their website at Jarvisisland2024.com can provide you with personalised propagation forecasts – let us know if you work them. Using Proppy at soundbytes.asia or VOAcap at voacap.com, shows that 20, 17 and 15m  short-path seem to offer the best chance of working the DXpedition, with morning openings from around 0600 to 1000UTC. There is also a potential long-path opening between 1800 and 2000 UTC, with a possibility of the 10m band at 1900 UTC. Both are near polar paths and may be adversely affected by a high Kp index. CDXC members with good stations have already reported QSOs with N5J on the 17m band using FT8. Next week, NOAA predicts the solar flux index will be in the range of 185 to 240. Geomagnetic conditions will depend on whether we have more solar flares and coronal mass ejections, and the chance of those remains high. An Earth-facing coronal mass ejection could send the Kp index soaring, and that will no doubt lead to reduced maximum useable frequencies and noisy bands. So, fingers crossed for more quiet geomagnetic conditions and low Kp indices! And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The summer tries to deliver but, overall, the pattern has a rather unsettled flavour to it for the coming week. On the positive side, we see a transient area of high pressure crossing southern Britain over this weekend, ending today the 11th. This could give some Tropo conditions but, after this, the Atlantic westerly flow brings a succession of fronts and showers to most areas. In terms of propagation, this suggests that rain scatter will have the best of it in the week ahead. The Sporadic-E season remains a good fallback and surprised us in East Anglia mid-morning on Tuesday the 6th of August with 144MHz Sporadic-E propagation to YU, HA, 9A and LZ moving around towards Italy as the opening progressed. All were workable with 100W and a white stick antenna on FT8. For the coming week, the jet stream activity will probably start by favouring paths to Scandinavia and the Baltic. Later in the week, a new jet stream will drive southeast into Iberia, opening up chances for paths to EA and CT. The Perseids meteor shower this week will provide welcome new fuel for Sporadic-E and, as a result, like most years, we'll see openings into the first week of September. The meteor scatter highlight is the Perseids meteor shower, which peaks on Monday and Tuesday. So, there are plenty of opportunities to try a new mode or fill in some missing grid squares if you are already involved in meteor scatter. Many websites explain what it's all about, but one to start you off is g7rdx.co.uk  Also, try looking for videos of meteor activity on SDR radios to get an idea of what it all sounds like. The solar conditions lately have been rather disturbed. It would not be surprising if the Kp index was to suggest that aurora could be a possibility if it gets to 5 or higher. Moon declination is negative and reaches minimum on Thursday the 15th, which means there will be short Moon visibility windows and low peak elevation. Path losses will decrease throughout the week and 144MHz sky noise is low over the weekend, but climbing to reach a high peak of over 3200 Kelvin on the 15th.  And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Thursday the 10th of August 2023 Sunspot activity continues as we head towards the solar maximum. Or have we already gone past that point? Identifying solar maximum can only really be done in retrospect. That is after we have already had it! Solar maximum is now forecast for early to mid-2025 so we still have some way to go. Last week the Solar Flux Index declined from 176 on the 5th, to 153 on the 10th. Geomagnetic conditions were mainly settled, other than a Kp index of 6.67 on the 5th. This was due to an incoming plasma cloud from a coronal mass ejection, or CME, that left the Sun on the 2nd of August. We had not one, but two X-class flare events recently. These occurred on the 5th and the 7th. The event on the 5th was long in duration with a peak flux at 2221UTC. Luckily it was from active region 3386, which was right on the edge of the visible solar disk, so any associated CME was directed away from Earth. The second event at 2046UTC on the 7th was also from AR3386, which by now had rotated just out of view of the Earth, so again its associated CME was not Earth-directed. So, we were lucky on both counts. If this sunspot region is still active on its return, we could be in for a rough ride. Keep an eye out from around the 20th of this month when it should reappear. HF conditions have been variable, with occasional F2-layer openings on the 10m band. The 15m band has produced some good DX including 5W1SA in Samoa on FT8. The 17m band produced Roland, TR8CR in Gabon on CW for Laurie, G3UML. S79KW in Seychelles was worked by Hugh, EI2HI on 10m SSB, but it has otherwise been quite quiet. Expect more HF DX activity later next month. Next week, NOAA predicts that the Solar Flux Index will be in the low 160s, with a maximum Kp index of two. If that does pan out, we can expect fairly good HF conditions. But as always, watch out for solar flares and CMEs that can't be predicted terribly well. A solar flare could result in a sudden ionospheric disturbance but that would be relatively short-lived. A CME, which might follow a flare in about two days, could see the MUF drop for a day or more. And now the VHF and up propagation news The brief period of high pressure around the middle of last week will be long gone by the weekend and new Atlantic lows will again dominate the UK weather. At first, this will be mainly over the northern half of Britain before moving to the western side of the country later in the week. This means that any Tropo at the end of the previous week is not here to stay. The low-pressure input will bring rain scatter propagation modes and, since we are supposedly in the summertime, the rainfall events may be quite heavy or even thundery in places, so there may be good scattering for the GHz bands. The Sporadic-E season is still simmering with a few brief moments of single hop within Europe, but also some longer multi-hop paths including to the Far East and VK on 10m. The upper air pattern of jet streams may still be able to trigger a few openings during the coming week, although it is looking much weaker than last week and possibly mainly biased towards northern areas like the Baltic and Scandinavia. Meteor scatter is one mode that should do well, especially at first with the peak of the Perseids this weekend. It can be quite interesting to monitor the 2m meteor scatter calling channel and stand outside watching for meteors, especially if it's a bit warmer! The shower has a broad peak so should still provide activity during the coming week. Lastly, the Sun continues to offer occasional disturbed conditions with a chance of high Kp indices and possible aurora. The easiest solution is to monitor the Kp index and perhaps your favourite Scottish beacon for signs of auroral flutter. With the Moon at maximum declination this weekend, with long Moon visibility windows, it's the Microwave EME contest. Moon apogee is next Wednesday so path losses are at their highest until then. 144MHz sky noise is moderate until late Tuesday when the Sun and the Moon are close in the sky until Thursday when levels drop back to low.    And that's all from the propagation team this week.

I have a special series of episodes that I'll be sharing this week about Greenland! In fact, I am calling it Greenland week because, inclusive of this episode, I have two other episodes that I'll post. You might be wondering why I am sharing about Greenland when I normally talk about Iceland and the answer is simple. Both countries have amazing nature, and you can get directly to Greenland from Iceland in a short period of time.So, if you have ever wanted to visit Greenland or you are intrigued about the idea of going there, you are in for a treat this week. I visited Nuuk, Greenland, which is the capital of the country, in mid-February of this year and had an amazing time. I visited East Greenland, specifically Kulusuk, Tasiilaq, and the interior of the country back in 2018 for 9-days.That was an incredible experience that made me curious about Nuuk because East Greenland is like stepping back in time. I consider it a time capsule that gives you a glimpse into a much simpler way of living. Plus, the towns are quite small. For example, around 200 people live in Kulusuk. On the other hand, Nuuk is a modern city that kind of made me feel like I was back in Iceland. How this Episode about Greenland is Set Up The way I have set this episode up is that I will share some insight about Iceland vs Greenland. Not in a competitive way but more so about each destination and their unique aspects. You'll find that they have some things in common. After that, I will share my experience in Nuuk and the things I was so fortunate to do. This can give you an idea of things to enjoy if you decide to travel there. What is Greenland Week? The two other episodes about Greenland are interviews I did with two awesome women. One is Aká, a Greenlandic activist working to reclaim the cultural in Greenland after the country had been colonized by the Danish for hundreds of years. She is also a strong advocate of Greenland becoming an independent country. Currently, it is considered a district of Denmark.The other interview is with Josepha, she is a Greenlander that grew up in Nuuk, and has lived in Denmark and Iceland. She's multi-talented and has guided all over Greenland. She shares her insight about fun things to do there, mask dancing (a tradition) that Greenlandic people have been reincorporating back into their culture, and more.Before jumping into differences & similarities of Iceland and Greenland, I would like to thank the sponsors of this episode, which are Visit Greenland and Visit Nuuk.A special shout out to Josepha, who coordinated this whole trip for me. I highly recommend following her on Instagram, where she is child_of_the_arctic Follow Visit Greenland Instagram Facebook Youtube Follow Visit Nuuk Facebook Instagram Iceland vs Greenland Land Mass of Each Country Iceland – 103,000 square kilometers (39,768.5 square miles)Greenland – 2.16 million square kilometers (836,330 miles)Both are islands but Greenland is considered the largest island in the world.

Igen her til formiddag har Mikael medbragt en masse lækre numre, som du ikke vidste, at du ville have din boogie på til. Dette gør han i selskab med Christoffer Stenbakken og Mads Bjørn Lundsgaard, som er højaktuelle med en ny podcast som hedder 'Tilbage til Tasiilaq'. Dette og meget mere til, står på menuen i dagens Formiddagen med Simpson. Vært: Mikael Simpson.

Greenland is the world's largest island yet least densely populated... but how do you connect remote settlements like Tasiilaq and Ittoqqortoormiit to the wider world? And what impact does being connected have on the country's education, economy and health care sector? Join Kristina Smith-Meyer on a trip to the country's capital, Nuuk to discover more about SES's partnership with Tusass - Greenland's sole telecommunications provider.  For more about what we do, visit SES.com

Gunnar Jakobsson varaseðlabankastjóri fór yfir breyttar áherslur Seðlabanka Íslands varðandi loftslagsmál en bankinn hefur gefið út sérstaka yfirlýsingu í loftlagsmálum og skuldbindur sig til tiltekinna aðgerða sem varða bæði bankann sjálfan og fjármálafyrirtækin í landinu.

Antallet af alkoholrelaterede indlæggelser og henvendelser eksploderede i den lille østgrønlandske havneby Tasiilaq i starten af september. Der var nemlig lige blevet udbetalt restskat.. Og byens sygehus blev så overvældet, at politikerne endte med at indføre et midlertidigt stop for al salg og udskænkning af stærk alkohol i Tasiilaq. Men løser det egentlig noget?Medvirkende: Phillippa Maigaard, dansk journalist i Grønland. Vært og tilrettelægger: Christine Randa. Redaktør: Pola Rojan Bagger.

Findes der et hemmeligt menneskesmugler netværk i Danmark? Sidste år skyllede liget af et barn op på en strand i Norge. Forinden var en båd med 22 flygtninge kæntret mellem Frankrig og England - et mislykket forsøg på menneskesmugling. Dette trækker tråde til Danmark.

Arved Fuchs ist immer noch in Ostgrönland. Zuletzt war er im Hafen von Tasiilaq, inzwischen hat er zusammen mit der Crew an Bord der Dagmar Aaen die ehem. amerikanische Militärstation Bluie East II angesteuert - dort war er 2014 erstmals gewesen und hatte mit Schrecken festgestellt, dass die Amerikaner dort zahllose inzwischen verrostete Fässer zurückgelassen hatten, die immer noch mit irgendwelchen Stoffen gefüllt waren. Bei seinem letzten Besuch 2019 an gleicher Stelle hat er mit seinem Team dort Bodenproben entnommen. Seitdem ist dort einiges geschehen: Arved erzählt in dieser Podcast-Folge ausführlich, dass ca. 190.000 Fässer, die dort lagen, inzwischen entsorgt worden sind.   https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluie_East_TwoIn Tasiilaq hat Arved Robert Peroni getroffen, der mit seinem "Roten Haus" Reisenden in Ostgrönland eine Anlaufstelle bietet. In Corona-Zeiten durften allerdings zwei Jahre lang keine Gäste einreisen.www.the-red-house.comMorgen verlässt Arved Fuchs Grönland und fährt mit der Dagmar Aaen Richtung Island. www.arved-fuchs.dewww.baerbel-fening.de

Arved Fuchs befindet sich mit der Dagmar Aaen inzwischen auf dem Weg von Nuuk an der Westküste Grönlands nach Tasiilaq an der Ostküste. Zwischendurch machte die Crew einen kurzen Stopp im kleinen Hafen von Nanortalik im Süden Grönlands. Dort reichte das Netz leider nicht zum Aufzeichnen einer Podcast-Folge, aber Arved hat sich inzwischen mit einer Email gemeldet.www.arved-fuchs.dewww.baerbel-fening.de

In his travels he discovered a previously unknown lake in Borneo, and had a mountain named after him outside Tasiilaq in eastern Greenland.  Today we talk about shamanism in the arctic, the use of the psychoactive amanita musica or fly agaric mushroom in those traditions and the connection to the modern Santa Claus myth.

Escuchá lo loco, loquísimo de Tasiilaq, la zona más poblada de la costa este de Groenlandia, cerca del polo norte, donde vive Papá Noel. Es realmente notable como viven los Inuits, y todo lo que se puede hacer en una de las zonas más frías del planeta. Espero que lo disfruten tanto como yo al grabarlo.

Den grønlandske østkyst er et af de mest isolerede steder i verden, hvor der lever mennesker. Først i 1884 fik man for alvor kendskab til området, da Gustav Holm ledte Konebådsekspeditionen (1883-1885) op langs østkysten. Endemålet var Ammassalik, det vi i dag kender som Tasiilaq. Her mødte ekspeditionen det østgrønlandske folk, der indtil da var så godt som upåvirket af den europæiske indflydelse. Konebådsekspeditionen blev startskuddet på koloniseringen af østkysten og samlingen af Øst- og Vestgrønland. Holms ophold i Ammassalik fik enorm betydning for bevarelsen af den oprindelige inuitkultur, som i dag udgør grundlaget for grønlændernes selvforståelse.

Rikke Houd er på sporet av Karen Roos, en ung dansk kvinne som forsvant på isen utenfor den lille østgrønlandske byen Tasiilaq i 1933. Hun finner deler av hennes dagbok, og reiser til Grønland for å finne ut hvorfor historien om Karens forsvinning fortsatt lever i Tasiilaq. Ett bilde dominerer Rikkes forsøk på å finne ut hva som skjedde med Karen den gangen: Bildet av de ensomme fotsporene som bukter seg over isen i nysnøen og stopper ved iskanten. Av Rikke Houd. Norsk versjon ved Berit Hedemann.
