Text for a Morse message will be available to display as soon as it starts playing. Speeds below 20 WPM use Farnsworth timing. I used the ARRLs Farnsworth guide to compute the timing in this application: See [ARRL Document] To play a Morse message, choose a text, Morse speed, volume and background noise. Press the green play button. To display the text, click the 'See Text' icon.

Info: Text will loop continuously. You can leave it playing in the background all day, on a long trip, while you are working etc. to help you effortlessly 'absorb' the Morse rhythm. This will help you to develop the ability to effortlessly decode in your head, without having to write anything down. No extra download data will be used. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, suggestions or issues with the player. See [here] for more info.

This week's Headlines Part 1
During November, the RSGB used its Photo Friday feature on social media to highlight construction and practical skills. Photos included everything from Construction Clubs for newcomers to ground satellite repairs at university clubs. If these have left you feeling inspired and wanting to get creative, why not submit an entry to the Society’s 2025 Construction Competition? There are six categories, including a new Outreach category that gives entrants the opportunity to create a project that can be reproduced in a school or public environment. Whether you are a seasoned constructor, used to building your own projects or a beginner looking to take your first steps in amateur radio construction, the RSGB would love to hear from you. Visit the RSGB website at rsgb.org/construction-competition for full details of the competition and how to enter. For further inspiration, pick up a copy of the June Edition of RadCom and turn to page 36 to view last year’s entries. The November 2024 issue of RadCom Basics is now available on the RSGB website for members to read. The publication is aimed at new licensees or anyone who enjoys reading about the fundamental principles behind the many facets of amateur radio. This issue includes part one of how to get on 40m with a small suburban garden, as well as articles on home construction and using repeaters. If you aren’t one of the thousands of members who have done so already, you can subscribe to receive notifications about RadCom Basics via the RSGB Membership Portal. Log in and choose the “Manage preferences” tab. To read the latest edition go to rsgb.org/radcom-basics


This week's Headlines Part 2
The RSGB would like to congratulate everyone who operated GB24YOTA last week. There was some brilliant activity on the air, including Wick High School Radio Club who had 12 student operators involved and inspired some to take their Foundation licence. If you missed talking to the group, you’ve got another chance to make a QSO with them today, Sunday the 8th of December. Taking over tomorrow, Monday the 9th of December, is Hilderstone Radio Society, which will be operating between 9am and 5pm. Cray Valley Radio Society will host the callsign after 5pm. The RSGB’s National Radio Centre station GB3RS, will be on the air with GB24YOTA for the duration of Tuesday the 10th of December.

On Wednesday the 11th of December, Hilderstone Radio Society will be back on the air with the callsign for a second day.

This week's HF Propagation
We had another week of high solar activity but limited geomagnetic disturbances. This meant that the upper HF bands were playing ball all week. The Kp index only exceeded four on one occasion, on the 30 November when it hit 4.67, but otherwise it has been low. And with a solar flux index mainly in the 180s this allowed the upper HF bands to shine. The maximum usable frequency or MUF over a 3,000km path has been consistently over 35MHz during daylight hours. The MUF over 100km has also been more than 14MHz around midday, making 20 metres almost a local band at times thanks to near vertical incidence skywave signals! If you have worked anyone in the UK on 20 metres let us know. An approaching active region just off the east limb of the sun was responsible for an M2.3 solar flare on the 4 December, so perhaps increased solar activity is on the horizon. Next week NOAA predicts the week will start with the solar flux index starting in the 180s, perhaps then increasing to 200 as the week progresses. An increased geomagnetic disturbance is forecast for the period of the 10 to the 13 December, when the Kp index could increase to four. If this does come to fruition, we can expect MUFs to drop until the storming has passed. As always keep an eye on Propquest.co.uk for near-real-time MUF figures and solarham.com for Kp indices.
