Solar activity remained at moderate levels earlier this week. There
was an approximately 20-degree filament eruption on June 4 and a
possibly related Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). The CME is unlikely to
have an Earth-directed component, but analysis is in progress.

2025 ARRL Field Day is just three weeks away! The excitement is building. Most clubs have their activations planned. In the last two weeks, 350 more sites have been added to the Field Day Site Locator, with a total of 886 listed as of June 5. ARRL Field Day is a great way to connect with your local amateur radio community, for Technician-class operators to get on lower HF bands, to shake down y...

As Solar Cycle 25 peaks, the sun has been busy. A coronal mass ejections has thrown HF propagation for a roller coaster ride this week. While the medium and lower HF bands suffer, there’s still hope for successful operating during times of solar storms. The 6-meter band has been quite active. Reports of phone contacts to Europe from East Coast hams and great digital activity on 6 meters from el...

The second session of the ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology (TI) to be held outside of ARRL Headquarters was a success this week in Louisiana. It follows on a successful offsite institute held earlier this year in New York City.    

Eleven teachers gathered in Lake Charles for the latest session. The event was featured in local news and empowered the teachers to incorporate amateur ...

The ARRL Foundation is accepting grant applications from amateur radio organizations for eligible amateur radio-related projects and initiatives, particularly those focused on educating, licensing, and supporting amateur radio activities. To grow amateur radio's future, youth-based projects and initiatives are especially encouraged.

The ARRL Foundation grants program accepts proposals on a cycli...

The ARRL Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology (TI) has 13 sessions announced in 2025, with more in the works. The program, from ARRL The National Association for Amateur Radio® is a donor-funded professional development program designed to help classroom teachers elevate their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs using wireless technology.

“This is all possible ...

Solar activity reached moderate levels early this past week with
several flares. An X1-class flare erupted mid-week, but activity has
slowed down with the majority of the low-level C-class flares. A
coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed on May 27 with a flare from
Region AR4100.

Modelling determined the CME to be well behind Earth's orbit. No
other potentially Earth-directed CMEs were detected in ...
