MORSE ACTIVITY EVENINGS

**To encourage newcomers and the less experienced to gain confidence on the key, the Committee has decided to run a series of Morse Activity Evenings with the theme "Contact a friend on CW at your speed".

The CARA Slow Morse Evenings - Tuesdays, 8pm to 9pm between 3540 and 3550kHz - are proving to be popular with a regular band of members taking part, and more joining in as the weeks go by. We even have one or two non-CARA members taking part most weeks.

The primary aim of the activity sessions is to encourage the newly licensed and the less experienced to gain confidence on the key. So don't be put off calling someone sending too fast for you - he/she should come back to you at your speed.

SDF Number 137 Issued at 2200Z on 16 May 2008

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 15/2100Z
to 16/2100Z: Solar activity was at very low levels. New regions 994
(S11E04), 995 (N12E22), and 996 (N13E59) were numbered today.
Regions 994 and 995 are simple A-type groups with a single spot.

The geomagnetic field was at quiet levels.

IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be at quiet levels for days one and two of the forecast
period (17 and 18 May). Geomagnetic activity is expected to
increase to quiet to unsettled levels with a slight chance for
active conditions on day three (19 May), as a coronal hole high
