The K7RA Solar Update
Thanks so much to Tomas Hood, NW7US, who wrote last week’s bulletin while K7RA was in California at dance camp. Tomas writes the weekly propagation column for CQ magazine, and he has an excellent Web site devoted to propagation.

The Solar Kid $42.84 Adventures of the Solar kid as he is being guided into a future Solar Society. Disillusioned by the mindless materialism of the 80s and plagued by hallucinations of power outages, fires and scenes of a futuristic solar society, the Kid decides to put on a backpack and leave Midwestern suburbia and head out in search of personal truth. He hops a train heading west and begins to encounter eclectic fellow travelers and realizes that they all are far more connected than he had originally thought. Sharing a common frustration and distain for greeddriven corporations that value profit over the earth and its inhabitants, the unlikely crew ends up in Denver at a solar/nuclear celebration sponsored by political figures and corporate energy conglomerates. The crew suspects a cover up and become impassioned by their convictions, causing their activities at the gathering to change the course of the rally and their lives. The Kid finds himself in the past, present and future without warning. A wizard, and a wise character named Moby show up along the way and guide him with the notion that the world is waking up and heading toward something quite wondrous despite the sings of destruction, ego and greed...all life is heading toward the light.

The Physics of Solar Flares $101.96 Few phenomena have stirred the imaginations of solar scientists as much as the explosive energy of solar flares. In The Physics of Solar Flares, first published in 1988, Einar TandbergHanssen and A. Gordon Emslie approach this subject by drawing heavily on experimental data from the Solar Maximum Mission, as well as other groundbased and spaceborne instruments. The data are incorporated into many theoretical investigations. The authors put the main emphasis on understanding the underlying physical processes. Starting from the language of physics, the authors guide the reader into the more specialised concepts of solar physics. The book is divided into two main parts: four chapters set the essentials of physics needed to attack the complexities of flare phenomena, and then a further four treat different aspects of the phenomena. This important book is aimed primarily at beginning graduate students who are assumed to have knowledge of basic physics. Author: TandbergHanssen, Einar/ Emslie, A.
