GB2RS News Sunday the 12th of July 2026 The news headlines: Upcoming IARU Region 1 Conference WRTC 2026 is supported by the RSGB Have you enabled RSGB app notifications on your mobile device? The IARU Region 1 Conference is held every three years. The next one will be in September 2026 and will be hosted by the Austrian member society ÖVSV, which is also celebrating its centenary. Reports and proposals on a wide range of amateur radio topics are available from the conference website at conf.iaru-r1.org/documents  The scope includes the more regular topics such as band plans, spectrum matters, EMC and youth. This particular event will also consider updates for amateur radio development, operating and organisational matters. The RSGB has contributed several inputs. More about the event will be shared via the Society's comms channels and a future edition of RadCom. This year's World Radiosport Team Championship is taking place in East Anglia in the UK between the 8th and 13th of July. The RSGB is an official partner to the event and representatives from the Society have been on site throughout the week. The team has been supporting various activities including media liaison to raise awareness for WRTC 2026, the RSGB and amateur radio as a whole. You can see coverage of the event in a range of radio and online outlets including BBC Radio Shropshire, BBC News Online, Shropshire Live and the East Anglia Gazette. Links to the coverage are available on the RSGB website. Volunteers at the RSGB National Radio Centre have been busy welcoming competitors, referees, and supporters of WRTC to the Centre, with some enjoying time operating the GB3RS station.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 9th of July 2026. We have had another week of mixed HF propagation. We started with a Kp index of 6.33 on Saturday the 4th of July which was caused by a coronal mass ejection, or CME. This caused a strong G3 geomagnetic storm and auroral conditions. A check on the bands on the 4th of July showed poor HF propagation with lower maximum useable frequencies, or MUFs, and weak and watery signals from the NCDXF beacons on 14.100MHz. But conditions have since improved and we had a Kp index of less than 3 over the past few days which means the ionosphere has returned to normal. Meanwhile, the solar flux index declined from a high of 203 on Thursday the 2nd of July to a low of 116 on Wednesday the 8th of July. That's quite a change and means that HF propagation has declined somewhat. An Earth-facing coronal hole has now passed with few effects and currently there is nothing of significance rotating into view. Solar flare activity has also declined with only two M-class flares over the past three days. So, the big question is: what happens next? Active region 4482 on the Sun continues to be a major threat. A solar flare and accompanying CME could soon ruin our chances of good HF conditions. The declining solar flux index hasn't helped either. Again, NOAA predicts the solar flux index will be in the 120 to 145 range over the coming week with a Kp index of 2 to 3. So, good news overall. DX to be worked this week includes D73G on Ch'ongsan Island; T22TT from Tuvalu; TY5FR in Benin; RT9K, the Arctic Legends IOTA DXpedition; JK1HFB/JD1 in Ogasawara, OX3LX from Greenland; and VP5G operating from Turks and Caicos. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The weather is becoming a talking point in terms of the heatwave developing over much of the country, but especially in the south. This has propagation implications too. It's all being driven by a large area of high pressure, which for much of the coming week resides to the north and west of the British Isles. This will give a north-easterly breeze over the south-eastern half of the UK which means it will be blowing in from the North Sea, possibly with areas of low cloud at times. The propagation implication is that this represents almost ideal tropo potential. This is especially the case when the low cloud moves inland and we find a marked contrast between the hot dry air above the inversion and the cool, moist and shallow cloud layer below. However, in high summer the daytime heating over the land degrades the lift during the morning as the temperature inversion gets broken down by the strong sunshine. Northern areas will see the occasional weakening front clip the northwestern fringes of the UK to offer up the only rain scatter prospects available at first. However, some models are starting to suggest a breakdown by the end of the week, so more rain scatter and an end to the tropo. The prospects for aurora depend upon the Kp index, which at the moment is mostly cycling between 1 and 3. This is not anything to generate radio interest, for which a Kp index of 7 is nearer the mark. Meteor showers are still in the random state with the next shower, the Delta Aquarids, coming late in the month. The Sporadic-E season is doing well this year, particularly for digital modes. There have also been events for CW and SSB up to 2m at times. However, not all parts of the country experience an opening, so watch the clusters for early notice of workable paths. EME now, and declination reaches maximum today, the 12th, so Moon window lengths will peak along with maximum Moon elevation. Path losses are still falling, until perigee tomorrow, the 13th. 144MHz sky noise is moderate until Tuesday the 14th when the Sun and Moon are close in the sky, then low for the rest of the week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

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.

On Tuesday the 15th of August, the 1.3GHz UK Activity Contest runs from 1900 to 2130UTC. Using all modes on 1.3GHz frequencies, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. On Thursday the 17th of August, the 70MHz UK Activity Contest runs from 1900 to 2130UTC. Using all modes on the 4m band, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. 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. Land mass of each capital area Reykjavik – 273 square kilometers (105 square miles)Nuuk – 690 square kilometers (about 266 square miles) Ice coverage in Iceland & Greenland Over 80% of Greenland in ice while only about 11% of Iceland is covered in ice. Similar to Greenland, about 80% of Iceland is uninhabited. The highlands of Iceland is what makes up most of that uninhabited land. Population in the whole country Iceland – 387,800 (as of January 20th, 2023)Greenland – 56,500 people. Population in Each Capital Nuuk has 19,261 in the capital areaReykjavik has 245,000 people in the capital area (about two thirds of the country). There are 4 times as many people living in Reykjavik than in the whole of Greenland

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?

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

Lawrence Millman is an adventurer, writer and mycologist.  He is the author of many books, including Northern Latitudes, Lost in the Arctic, A Kayak Full of Ghosts, Fascinating Fungi of New England, Mushroom Apocalypse, Giant Polypores and Stoned Reindeer and most recently Fungipedia: A Brief Compendium of Mushroom Lore. His work has also appeared in Smithsonian, National Geographic Adventure, the Atlantic Monthly and Sports Illustrated. He has won numerous awards and has been anthologized in the Best American Travel Writing three years in a row.  Lawrence also holds a Ph.D. in Literature from Rutgers University. He has made over 30 trips to the Arctic and Subarctic during his adventuring career and was a fellow of the prestigious Explorers Club. 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.

Out of almost 200 applicants, Hollie Woodhouse along with 3 other young explorers were selected to take on the 2018 Antarctic Heritage Trust Inspiring Explorers' Expedition – a 560-kilometer crossing of the Greenland ice cap on skis in tribute to Fridtjof Nansen, the renowned polar explorer and humanitarian, who completed the first crossing of Greenland 130 years prior.  Their team battled hurricane conditions, heavy snowfalls and illness, but after starting on the west coast on May 4th they arrived in the east coast village of Tasiilaq on June 1st.  Hollie is also the creator of Say Yes To Adventure magazine. It's filled with inspiring adventure stories and photos.  You can learn more about Hollie and her adventures at holliewoodhouse.com.  Hollie Woodhouse, welcome back to the show.

Tasiilaq, im Osten Grönlands, ist ab Herbst nur noch im Helikopter zu erreichen. Während draußen Huskies Schlitten ziehen, schneidet drinnen Stefán Esjarsson den Einwohnern die Haare.

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.
