So far AREC (Amateur Radio Emergency Communications) volunteers have not been required in any major way to assist, following the earthquake that hit Christchurch in New Zealand

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake occurred in Christchurch, New Zealand, at 0435 hours (NZ local time), 4 September 2010. Several aftershocks of between magnitude 3.9 and 5.2 have occurred and more aftershocks are expected

A sad end to the search for a Glendale, Arizona, radio ham who went missing in mid August

AP2AUM from the Pakistan Amateur Radio Society reports that emergency communications support has been extended in the past week to include three more villages

Claims continue to steadily arrive for this limited edition operating award celebrating the Centenary of Organised Amateur Radio in Australia with more than 160 now issued

Solar conditions still continue to be fairly poor. As I write this on 3 September there are sunspots, but the solar flux is stubbornly in the mid to high 70s. There have been auroral conditions over the past few days and we can expect to see more unsettled conditions as the cycle progresses

Hynix will start manufacturing Memristors first demonstrated by HP in 2006. It will be the first time this new circuit component has been mass produced

A new Network Affiliated RAYNET Group is being formed in the mid-Pennine region of Lancashire

Over this past week four new sunspot groups appeared. Group 1101 was already in place since August 24, and 1102 emerged on August 29

A come and try ARDF event will be held at Sherrardspark Wood near Welwyn Garden City on Sunday 12 September
