   OL 80 C.A.R.B.O.N. is active until the 30th of November to mark the   
   80th anniversary of Operation Carbon during World War Two. This   
   operation involved the dropping of paratroopers in the Protectorate of   
   Bohemia and Moravia.   
      
   The Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia was a partially-annexed   
   territory of Nazi Germany that was established in 1939 after the   
   German occupation of the Czech lands

   WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- ASTRONOMY (and Wireless Weather)   
      
   Astronomers have uncovered something pretty remarkable emerging from   
   the depths of space, after detecting a powerful series of radio waves.   
      
   The signal, known as FRB 20220610A, is made up of dazzling radio wave   
   flashes that last just milliseconds at a time.   
      
   What makes them truly astonishing is that these radio waves have been   
   travelling through space for a total of 8 billion years  and it could   
   help experts to gain a better understanding of one of the great   
   mysteries of the universe. These signals could theoretically help   
   astronomers to put together a more comprehensive understanding of the   
   universe.   
      
   One of the people involved in the research is astronomer Dr. Stuart   
   Ryder from Macquarie University in Australia. He said: FRBs are   
   common and hold great promise. We could use them to create a new map   
   of the universes structure and answer big questions about cosmology.   
      
   The strength of the newly observed signal is truly staggering with   
   FRB 20220610A emitting the same amount of energy that our sun produces   
   in 30 years in the space of just a few milliseconds.

   GreenCube (IO-117) Ceases Functioning Due to Radiation Damage   
      
   The GreenCube satellite, developed by S 5 LAB, has likely ceased   
   functioning due to radiation damage. After a successful mission that   
   exceeded expectations, the satellite is no longer responding to   
   commands, and its on-board radio is believed to have been compromised   
   by the harsh radiation environment in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO).   
      
   GreenCube experienced a reboot, and telemetry data from that event did   
   not indicate any anomalies. However, the S5LAB team now suspects that   
   the satellites radio was damaged, leading to the current   
   communication blackout. MEO is notoriously challenging for satellites   
   due to its high radiation levels, and GreenCube was not the only   
   satellite affected. Several other CubeSats launched alongside it only   
   lasted a few days, making GreenCubes extended mission duration a   
   remarkable achievement.   
      
   Despite ongoing efforts to send commands and reactivate the satellite,   
   the team remains pessimistic about restoring GreenCubes   
   functionality. The satellites survival in the hostile MEO environment   
   is seen as a testament to its robust design, but the likelihood of   
   recovery is slim.

   MAFIA ISLAND AF-054   
      
   Vlad, operating as 5H1WX says theres a big issue with regards   
   electricity / power on Mafia Island.   
      
   The problem is while using a generator as power source.   
      
   At idle it gives 250V and around 40Hz, but when he transmits with say   
   800W out, the voltage drops to 170-150v, and the frequency changes   
   from 39 to 45 Hz. Using 100w on FT8 is ok and approximately 300w on   
   CW is also ok, but no more than that.   
      
   Vlad 5H1WX goes on to say that unfortunately the whole island has a   
   power supply problem  sometimes it doesnt run all day. In total,   
   three generators have been used, each one worse than the other.

   WW SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS --- RESCUE RADIO   
      
   Amateur radio is responding to two different tropical events as of Mid-Week.   
   Hurricane John   
      
   The National Hurricane Centre reports that Hurricane John made landfall on   
   Mexico's southern Pacific coast late Monday evening about 80 miles east of   
   Acapulco as a Category 3 storm. Winds were reported up to 120   
      
   miles per hour. Life-threatening flash flooding is expected across portions   
   of southern Mexico during the next few days.   
      
   Tropical Storm Helena   
      
   Meanwhile, hurricane and storm surge watches cover much of the Gulf Coast of   
   Florida as a system churning in the Caribbean was just   
      
   designated as Tropical Storm Helene and is projected to strengthen   
   into a major storm. Residents were asked to ensure they had their   
   hurricane plan in place and also follow the advice given by local officials.   
      
   Florida declared a state of emergency for 41 counties along and near the   
   state's Gulf Coast because of threats from the storm. If the storm makes   
   landfall as a hurricane, it would be the fourth land falling hurricane in the   
   mainland U.S. this year, joining Beryl, Debby, and Francine.   
      
      
   The Hurricane Watch Net is on   
      
   20 meters: 14.325 MHz (USB)
