Due to most of the regions on the solar disk being fairly simple in
their magnetic complexity, solar activity is expected to remain at
low levels with a chance for M-class flares (R1 to R2, or Minor to
Moderate).

Solar wind parameters are expected to trend further towards nominal
levels as the Coronal Hole High-Speed Stream effects continue to
wane.

Additional enhancements from another negative polari...

The ARRL DXCC Desk has determined that the operation by a DXpedition team from Mount Athos meets the DXCC award program’s accreditation criteria. Contacts with the team, which operated in January 2025 using the call sign SV1GA/A, will therefore count toward DXCC. Additionally, due to actions taken by local authorities that resulted in the early termination of the operation, any future operation...

Solar activity is likely to be moderate (R1-R2, Minor-Moderate) with
a slight chance for X-class flares through April 5.

The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to minor storm levels
on April 4 and 5.

NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Probabilities for April 5 and 6 forecast a
15% chance, and then a 1% chance, of a Moderate storm for the
reporting period.

The forecast of solar and geomagnetic activity c...

HamSCI, Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation, is preparing now for a series of meteor scatter (MS) experiments later this year and need amateur radio operators to help.

Il Progetto Casa ARI

Abbiamo potuto sviluppare e concretizzare questo Progetto, che per molti aspetti può essere considerato uno dei più importanti, solo grazie a quei Soci che ci hanno creduto – e continuano a crederci – e che con le loro donazioni spontanee hanno permesso l’accantonamento di una cifra consistente. Fra tutti Mario Maestri, che solo l’anno scorso, con un gesto di straordinaria generosità ha versato 50.000 euro. A lui va la più sentita e profonda riconoscenza da parte di tutto il Sodalizio.

Nel 2010 sono stati posti i primi mattoni per la nostra Casa ARI, quella che tutti noi desideriamo possedere per realizzare il sogno che ogni nucleo familiare - e i Soci tutti dovrebbero vedere l’ARI come una grande famiglia - sente come esigenza primaria.
