Sunspot activity rose this reporting week, September 22-28, with
average daily sunspot numbers increasing from 68 to 105.1. But solar
flux? Not so much. Average daily solar flux rose from 134.3 to
138.4.
So, the sunspot average rose 55% and solar flux only 3%. I usually
expect the numbers to track more closely.
New sunspots appeared on September 22 and 23, and one more on
September 27. On Thursday nig...

Associazione [as-so-cia-zió-ne]
Unione di due o più persone per un fine comune
di Alessio Sacchi, IZ4EFN
Carissimi Soci, è con grande stima e profondo senso di responsabilità che vi raggiungo tramite questo primo periodico momento di incontro tra chi ha preso l’impegno di guidare la nostra Associazione e noi tutti appassionati Radioamatori più o meno giovani di età, più o meno esperti, più o meno anziani di nominativo o di sodalizio.
Questo sarà forse uno dei pochi scritti a singola mano, perché credo fortemente che il Consiglio Direttivo Nazionale tutto debba utilizzare questo strumento per accorciare quella distanza che spesso separa chi guida un’organizzazione da tutti coloro che vi aderiscono e contribuiscono. Distanza che io stesso ho percepito in molte occasioni da quando, molti anni fa, mi avvicinai all’Associazione per la prima volta, fresco di licenza. Credo infatti che quando si parli della nostra più grande passione, questa comunicazione debba essere sempre facile e capace di condividere con tutti quale sia l’obiettivo, l’eccellenza che vogliamo raggiungere, la problematica da affrontare.

Si tratta della vettura che vedete nelle foto, e che è stazionata presso un deposito sito a Marzaglia (MO). L’auto è del 2001 ed è in discrete condizioni generali di carrozzeria esterna ed interna, ma bisogna di manutenzione perché ferma da tanto tempo.
Le offerte, con un valore minimo di € 500,00 (Cinquecento) , dovranno essere inviate via email a segreteria@ari.it entro il 30 Ottobre 2022, complete di recapiti mail e telefonici degli offerenti.
A partire dal 31 Ottobre le offerte ricevute verranno valutate e gli offerenti saranno contattati per l’aggiudicazione in ordine di offerta economica migliore.
L’auto è in regola con i documenti di circolazione e proprietà. Dato che l’auto necessita di revisione, si suggerisce agli offerenti di prevedere il ritiro dell’auto a Marzaglia con mezzi ad hoc (carro attrezzi, bisarca).
Chiunque può proporsi come acquirente.
Geomagnetic disturbances were down this week, but so were sunspot
numbers and solar flux.
Average daily sunspot numbers declined from 92.7 to 68, and average
daily solar flux from 141.3 to 134.3.
On September 22 the sunspot number was 99, well above (by 31 points)
the average for the previous seven days, a promising indication. We
hope it may signal a trend.
But Solar Cycle 25 progresses, a bit better...
