The CQ World Wide WPX SSB Contest starts at 0000UTC on Saturday, the 28th and runs until 2359UTC on Sunday, the 29th of March. Using SSB on the 160 to 10m bands, where contests are permitted, the exchange is signal report and serial number. On Sunday, the 29th of March, the UK Microwave Group Millimetre Band Contest runs from 0800UTC to 1700UTC. Using all modes on 24 to 76GHz frequencies, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 19th of March Last weekend's Commonwealth Contest got off to a bad start, thanks to a Kp index of 6 that really affected the ionosphere. As a result, HF conditions were not good with the maximum usable frequency over a 3,000km path below 21MHz until 1700UTC. Luckily, things improved a little on Sunday, but overall scores were down compared with previous events. The Kp index increase was due to a coronal hole stream, which reached 600 to 700 kilometres per second and a Bz that pointed south. The equinox period hasn't helped due to the Russell-McPherron effect, a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth's magnetic field aligns with the Sun's magnetic field during equinoxes, creating ‘cracks' in the magnetosphere. Otherwise, the week has been unremarkable. The solar flux index has remained firmly in the 110s, and there have been no X-class solar flares, only a few M and lesser C-class events. Next week, HF propagation may be dominated again by the solar wind. Coronal hole number 33 will begin to face Earth, and a high-speed stream was predicted to reach us this weekend, ending today, the 22nd. A coronal mass ejection was also predicted to arrive around Thursday, the 19th. NOAA predicts the Kp index will rise to 5 this weekend and not decline to 3 until the 26th of March. Meanwhile, the solar flux is predicted to remain in the 105 to 120 range until the 27th of March. It may then increase slightly to be in the 120s until the end of the month. As a result, expect lower maximum usable frequencies and poorer HF conditions until around next Thursday, the 26th and Friday, the 27th of March. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The high pressure that developed during the second half of last week formed on the warmer side of the front and, as a result, produced slightly better tropo conditions than looked possible the previous week. The weather is probably going to try to change to a cold-air high in the coming week, so expect conditions to decline. However, that's not the only reason for a decline. As the main high centre displaces west of Britain, we will find a colder and unsettled west or north-westerly pattern affecting the UK next week. So less tropo, but more chance of some rain scatter for the upper GHz bands. Meteor scatter remains in the random activity domain, although we are edging closer to the next major shower of the late April Lyrids. It's not to say that exciting things can't happen, however. Just after a HamSCI workshop on the subject of meteor scatter last weekend, a multi-ton meteoroid was reported from Cleveland, Ohio, on the HamSCI Google groups at around 1300UTC on the 17th of March. This produced a sonic boom and was visible in broad daylight. All is quiet on the Sporadic-E front, although we are slowly moving towards a period when the first glimmers of activity show themselves, particularly on digital modes.  Lastly, a comment on the chances of an aurora. These are usually enhanced due to solar-terrestrial alignment around the equinoxes, and with two coronal mass ejections predicted to arrive at the tail end of last week, ending today, the 22nd. As usual, check for an increasing Kp index above 5. For EME, yesterday saw the 5.7GHz section of the Dubus CW and SSB EME contest and associated all-mode activity weekend. With Moon declination positive and rising, and path losses still low, it hopefully produced some nice contacts. On VHF, 144MHz sky noise is low in the coming week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Revd Tony Miles 'Righteous Faith' by Methodist Central Hall, Westminster

Do you want to be part of that, and belong to a vibrant and growing Church Don't burnout, rather wait to be clothed with power for on high, and allow the Holy Spirit to burn within!

‘If you're depressed and find it hard to believe things can change, if you're full of shame, feeling unworthy or a failure, if you're finding it hard to embrace the Gospel's radical truth, Jesus is calling your name and has something for you to do for him.'

'Like Mary's alabaster jar, may we be found broken before Jesus! May we be poured out in the service of others, emitting the fragrance of loving and holy lives that can help transform the atmosphere and bring about a change - bringing hope to the hopeless, through Jesus Christ, our Saviour.'

Revd Tony Miles - 'Holy Tears' Sermon on the 2nd Sunday of Lent 2025 by Methodist Central Hall, Westminster

Revd Tony Miles: 'Let Love Be Real' by Methodist Central Hall, Westminster

‘We're called to be loving and to serve others, but it doesn't mean we always meekly do as we're told or conform to other kinds of peer pressure. With grace and inner strength, Christians must remain obedient to their calling and to their convictions.'

Sermon given during the week of prayer for Christian Unity. ‘There is only one Church! It is vital that, despite our diversity, Christians learn to act as one Church in obedience to the heart's desire of Christ. AND so that the world may believe!'

Christians must persist fervently in prayer - they are to keep at it! This isn't easy.It takes great effort and requires discipline, but once nurtured, it becomes a powerhouse - a key to fruitful Christian living.

Sermon given on Remembrance Sunday 2024. ‘Love is a verb, which should drive us from our security to help make peace and safety for others. This is our high calling – to put love into action. Just as Jesus did for us.'

‘As we start this new Methodist year, I urge you to do business with God, through honest self-evaluation before we throw ourselves into another round of meetings; before me make important decisions; and certainly, before we plan for the future!'

Revd Tony Miles: 'What are you looking for?' by Methodist Central Hall, Westminster

‘Learning to eliminate hurry can help us re-discover the life of love, joy, and peace that Jesus wants for us.'

Do we trust in a God who is true, faithful, and just; do we believe in a Creator who's seeking to redeem what has been made? Do we trust in a loving God whose nature is to rescue from the grip of sin and enable hope and new life through his son, Jesus the saviour of the world?

'Do we possess the sacrificial love, the courage and the humility, to allow others to stand on our shoulders, so that they can do what God's calling them to do, and so enable the work of the Kingdom?'

‘Every person in this world is loved by God unconditionally. Our Maker longs for us to turn towards his love. All who feel drawn to pray, I believe is experiencing the prevenient grace of God and the Holy Spirit is at work.'

GB2RS News Sunday the 21st of April 2024 The news headlines: Dr Stewart Bryant, G3YSX to continue as RSGB Board Chair The RSGB has vacancies for Regional Representatives The Radio Communications Foundation is recruiting new Trustees   The RSGB Board has met for the first time since the Society's AGM where three Directors were endorsed to serve as Nominated Directors on the Board and one was confirmed as elected unopposed. The new Board has chosen Dr Stewart Bryant, G3YSX to continue in the role of RSGB Board Chair until the 2025 AGM. You can find details of all RSGB Board Directors on the Society's website and the Board Liaison roles will be confirmed and added to the page in the coming weeks. Go to rsgb.org/board for more information. At its recent AGM, the RSGB was delighted to confirm the unopposed election of five Regional Representatives. However, there are still vacancies for Regional Representatives in Region 11, which covers England South-West and the Channel Islands, and also Region 12 which is England East and East Anglia. These vacancies will be filled by co-option until the 2025 AGM. If you live in one of these areas and are passionate about amateur radio, keen to support local radio amateurs and clubs, and have the skills to lead a volunteer team of District Representatives in the region, this could be a role for you! To find out more, please contact Tony Miles, MM0TMZ who is the Board Liaison for the Regional Team via mm0tmz@rsgb.org.uk The Radio Communications Foundation is a small charity dedicated to encouraging people to take up radio as a hobby or, in the case of youngsters, considering an RF-based career. The RCF is proud to sponsor Arkwright Scholars, work with the RSGB and Bletchley Park to deliver radio-building workshops and make grants for various projects around the UK. Further information is available via the RCF website at commsfoundation.org  The RCF is now looking to recruit a couple of new Trustees to help it deliver its aims. Applicants should have an interest in radio communications and be prepared to be involved in decisions over grant-making, delivering RCF projects and attracting charity funding. The RCF would particularly like to hear from anyone with links to secondary education in the UK. Expressions of interest and applications should be sent to rcfsecretary@commsfoundation.org preferably by the end of June. Following the introduction in February of the new Ofcom amateur radio licence conditions, the RSGB has continued to provide information and support to radio amateurs to help them make the most of the changes. This has included updates, club talks and a section of the AGM event focused on those licence changes. Go to the RSGB YouTube channel, choose the AGM recording from the ‘live' tab and then watch two sections. Firstly, the main Board Q&A begins just after one hour and eighteen minutes into the event and includes some licensing questions from members. Secondly, a section from just before two hours and thirty-three minutes focused entirely on the new licence conditions and included three videos and a full live Q&A with four senior RSGB representatives. The Society has also published a wealth of information on its website which you can find at rsgb.org/licence-review Nigel Limb, M7FFU, had a motorbike accident in 2015 that left him with permanent brain damage and partially blind in both eyes, but this didn't stop him from pursuing his childhood dream of obtaining his amateur radio licence. In December 2023 he passed the Foundation Licence exam. In the early 1970s Sue Jacob, GW7YLS was a shortwave listener and interested in amateur radio, but it wasn't until she retired and discovered that the exams no longer contained Morse code, that she decided to get more involved. Within 18 months she had passed all three licence levels. One of the great things about amateur radio is that it is accessible to everyone. The RSGB is celebrating this by collecting stories of radio amateurs who have passed their Foundation licence, or progressed through the licence levels, and are now discovering new aspects of amateur radio to enjoy. If you'd like to read more about Nigel, Sue and others, go to rsgb.org/student-stories and, if you'd like to share your story with the Society, email comms@rsgb.org.uk and the RSGB will use as many as possible. A new amateur radio Facebook group has been formed for those who like getting out and about in motorhomes, campervans, and caravans. The group welcomes all radio enthusiasts. To find out more, or to join the group, search for ‘UK Motorhome and Amateur Radio Group' on Facebook. SOS Radio Week is an annual event that takes place throughout May to celebrate the work of the volunteers from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Independent Lifeboats and National Coastwatch Stations around the British Isles. Members of these organisations save many people between them who are in danger along and around the thousands of miles of coastline and further out to sea. This year is the 200th anniversary of the founding of the RNLI and SOS Radio Week is being co-branded SOS Radio Week 200 for those operators that are supporting the RNLI during the event. Participants can operate from home, a public location, or a lifeboat or Coastwatch station, with the appropriate authorisation from the station manager. A commemorative certificate will be available to all official stations that record their contacts on the website together with awards for the top individual and club, or group, stations on each band from 160m to 70cm. Registration for individual and group operators is available via sosradioweek.org.uk International Marconi Day will take place on Saturday the 27th of April. Once again, the Cornish Radio Amateur Club is organising and running the event. Lots of amateur radio stations will be operating from sites that Marconi operated from or had a personal connection with.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Thursday the 18th of April 2024 Last week saw a welcome return of sunspots but, unfortunately, it also brought unsettled geomagnetic conditions. By Thursday the 18th the solar flux index was back above 200, hitting 217. Compare that to the previous week's 131 and you can see that there is a lot more activity. But, with 12 active regions visible, it looks like we could be in for a bumpy ride over the next seven days. The Kp index hit five on the evening of Tuesday the 16th of April after the interplanetary magnetic field, or Bz, swung southwards, sparking visible aurora in the UK as far south as Dartmoor. This impacted the ionosphere, pushing MUFs over a 3,000km path down, with recovery not showing itself until 0930UTC on Wednesday the 17th. The 10m band is struggling to open at times, although you may find FT8 still passing weak signals. SSB operators might be better advised to look at the 12 and 15m bands which may provide richer pickings. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index may decline to be in the range of 170 at the beginning of the week, falling to between 135 and 140 at the end of the week. The risk of an M-class flare is currently at 75%, with an X-class event at 20%. Despite this, NOAA predicts the Kp index will be around 2 for all of next week. However, there is a chance that a flare and associated CME could scupper that completely. If we do get a coronal mass ejection, or CME for short, we can expect the Kp index to rise roughly 48 hours after the event, perhaps hitting 5 or more and possibly sparking visible aurora from the UK again. Overall then, it's good news on the sunspot front, but not so good for geomagnetic activity, which could see MUFs fall if any solar flares and CMEs come to fruition. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The weather is likely to remain unsettled, despite temporary high pressure moving across the country this weekend. This may bring some Tropo, but it's a cold air high and probably not the best for enhanced VHF conditions, except for localised overnight or early morning temporary lifts.  The rest of the time, there will continue to be an unsettled flavour to the weather so this leads to the possibility of rain scatter on the GHz bands, especially if we get heavy April showers. This first weekend coincides with the peak of the Lyrid meteor shower which peaks tonight, the 21st and 22nd, so it's worth checking the usual meteor scatter frequencies. If you are not familiar with meteor rates and variations from day to day, then visit the excellent Radio Meteor Observing Bulletin at rmob.org which gives an hourly display from various locations around the world. You can find many other useful links to meteor scatter resources by searching for ‘meteor scatter' at rsgb.org The Sun has woken up a little since last week, and a few auroral flutter signals on the LF bands suggest we shouldn't give up yet for this spring. As usual, keep a watch for the Kp index going above 5. The late April period can provide some fleeting early season Sporadic-E events, especially for the 10 and 6m bands. A couple of weak 5MHz Sporadic-E critical frequencies were noted during the late afternoon on Wednesday the 17th on the Dourbes plot shown at propquest.co.uk For EME operators, Moon declination goes negative again today, the 21st, but path losses are falling as we passed apogee yesterday, the 20th. 144MHz sky noise is low but will rise to moderate by the end of next week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

‘If we want society to change, we need to SEE the need; FEEL the need and be MOVED to respond in some way. What's more, those who we're moved to help, must be open to receive it.'

The resurrection sometimes feels too good to be true; sometimes fear, doubt, and grief can overwhelm us; sometimes ‘hope' and ‘promise' are harder to bear than ‘fear' and ‘despair'. Yet, if we look into the tomb, there's nothing there, but if we sincerely look for the Jesus, We WILL find him risen!

‘Let us recognise, and never underestimate, the power of love, prayer, nurture, faithfulness, and obedience in parenthood. Not only upon the life of the individual, but upon our families, communities and even the world.'

Let us not burn out, but burn brightly for the Gospel.If care for souls, we can love our neighbours as ourselves!

‘In our modern world, we're bombarded by negatives every day, but the trick is learning to break the cycle of negativity. Handing our worries to the Lord and trusting him a little more than we tend to do.'

Revd Tony Miles 'Step out of your comfort zone' Matthew 14:22-33 by Methodist Central Hall, Westminster

‘Keep the faith if you are hurting, and when don't understand what's going on; keep praying, even when you feel like giving up; for those earnestly seek him and who trust the Lord, will, in time, experience his faithfulness and his steadfast love.'

The question of closing railway ticket offices has been in the headlines recently. Indeed, it remains one of the stumbling blocks to a settlement in the long running dispute between rail unions and train operators. One operator has already stopped selling tickets at discounted rates from their ticket offices for "same day" travel. This leaves travellers needing to use the internet or ticket vending machines to take advantage of reduced rates for same day journeys. We discuss what this means for visually impaired people with the help of Tony Miles from Modern Railways magazine. Meanwhile, on the buses, we report on a trial aiming to make bus stations more accessible. Transport for West Midlands has unveiled new smart codes at Wolverhampton Bus Station, giving passengers immediate access to wayfinding details and travel information on their mobile phones. To get an update on the trial and what it might mean for accessible bus travel in the future, we hear from RNIB's Robin Spinks and Gary Leek from Transport for West Midlands . Presenter: Peter White Producer: Fern Lulham Production Coordinator: Liz Poole Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image, wearing a dark green jumper. Above Peter's head is the BBC logo (three individual white squares house each of the three letters). Bottom centre and overlaying the image are the words "In Touch"; and the Radio 4 logo (the word Radio in a bold white font, with the number 4 inside a white circle). The background is a bright mid-blue with two rectangles angled diagonally to the right. Both are behind Peter, one of a darker blue and the other is a lighter blue.

God's nature must shape our faith. If it doesn't, and we're not living by divine (‘hesed') values, we won't find God in our worship, or know his blessing.

‘Being a relevant church isn't just about enabling the world to look in and listen, it's how we take seriously what's happening out in the world. John Wesley was outward-looking desperate to get the message out where people are, and to be relevant to their needs. Mission starts with looking and listening!'

‘For many Christians, the coronation of King Charles III is a powerful reminder of God's sovereignty and the Biblical call to pray for our leaders, who, though called to a particular task, are ordinary people underneath it all.'

Join Host Matt Daniel as he chats with Bearcat Legend Tony Miles about his journey from Mart, Texas to Maryville, Missouri to North of the border and becoming a CFL All-Star. Thanks for listening!

Beware that you don't let the darkness of fear compromise you, the truth is the truth. We mustn't be worried about what people think of or what other believers may think of us, what matters is what GOD thinks of us.

'We mustn't be deluded that we can map out our lives.'

Revd Tony Miles ‘A Step Too Far?' (Remembrance Sunday) John 15 by Methodist Central Hall, Westminster

‘For time and time again in the Bible it's serious and whole-hearted repentance and prayer that dispels fear and also restores God's blessing, materially and spiritually - a blessing that is to be shared.'

The Queen, though, can't wear it forever. Neither can she take crown with her. There's an even more valuable crown awaiting her, and us too! It's the imperishable crown that's spoken of in our reading from Corinthians.

Whatever the grief, anxiety, or emptiness in our hearts, the Lord Almighty's rule will never come to an end. He has promised to be with us always, to abide with us to be our light and our Salvation. Jesus is our ultimate hope. Alleluia

Hear this this morning: However you are feeling, you belong to God, and you are precious to him.

‘Our job as Christians, is to be consistent in our devotion to Jesus, faithful in our wise witness and prayer, prepared for persecution, and to bear with separation if it comes.'

I first heard of Tony while following his epic run at the 2018 World Series of Poker. He had the run of his life and came in 2nd place in the world's most prestigious tournament and made himself a Millionaire. That's not where his advocacy and dream chasing stopped as he also went on to featuring on American Ninja Warrior. But all of this was only possible after he became sober and starting focusing on life goals instead of getting drunk or high. Hear his story!!!
