Dear Radio JOVE Community, The Radio JOVE Project is a NASA Partner citizen science project where participants purchase, assemble, and operate their own 16-24 MHz radio spectrograph to observe solar, Jupiter, Galactic, and Earth-based radio emissions. Learn to become a citizen scientist and contribute scientific-quality data to our data archive. Visit Getting Started to learn how to participate in Radio JOVE. Regards, The Radio JOVE Team

Good evening: Thanks to Tom for the heads-up. I am sad to say that at my location I could locate only a smudge. Here it is. Thanks. John

Solar Events, 29 May 2025, Prospect, ME
Good evening...here are 3 spectrograms. Frankly I don't know what to make of the first at 1040 UTC which is about 2 hours before local sunrise... Clearly a very active day but my simple antenna I can't discriminate separate events. ....bill.....

May 29 2025 Type IIIb solar radio storm in progress
3
I think there is a Type IIIb solar radio storm in progress. See attached spectrograms. - Tom AI Overview Learn more A Type IIIb solar radio burst storm refers to a prolonged series of Type IIIb bursts, which are fine frequency structures within Type III bursts. Type III bursts are caused by energetic electrons traveling along magnetic field lines away from the Sun, and Type IIIb bursts are believed to be associated with density inhomogeneities in the background plasma.

27 May 2025 Cas A scintillation
5
Some surprisingly strong Cas A scintillation for this time of year. Beats me why it's stronger in LCP. Might be due to Cas A being in a side lobe instead of the main beam. -- Dave

No Observations
Howdy Everyone, No observations, but I did get this schedule today. Looking forward to seeing/hearing what Dave has to say !! ~Duane

Now for something completely different....

Good day all, Picked up some "Diamond Ionosondes", ground wave reflections, broken equipment? Thoughts? Carl Wasilla, AK

Solar Events 26 May 2025, Prospect, ME
Good evening.....Two events captured... For whatever it's worth, we were watching the local broadcast news on channel 5 (76-82 Mhz) at about 2100 UTC/1700 EDT this afternoon and the picture was frequently pixelated for a few seconds at a time. The transmitter is only about 40 miles from our house "as the crow flies". The ionosphere seem to be quite disturbed. .....bill.....

SID, 25/05/2025,

Hi. I think I caught a SID resulting from a class M 8.9 solar eruption from the solar active region number 4098 with a maximum at 16:31 hrs UT. Salvador

Solar SiD 05/25/2025 Easley, South Carolina
Good evening: I am calling this a Solar/SID. Coincides in time with Bill's capture. Thanks Bill. There seems to be definite signal drop. There are several GOES X-ray flux spikes for 05/25/2025. The first one I suspect is the X flare that Tom alerted us about. Sun already down here. Thanks Tom. Did you see it at your place? There is a spike that seems to coincide with the captures attached to this email. Welcome all comments. John

Good evening... Only one event captured but quite unusual....bill...

Solar Events, 24 May 2025, Prospect, ME

Good evening... Just two events captured today. The persistent, very strong signal at about 21 Mhz is odd/weird. There are no American (ARRL) amateur radio contests in May that might explain it. ...bill...

Solar Flare 01:49UTC Tasmania, Australia
Hi, This is around the same time frame as the reported X1.1 (R3) flare. Some faint downward drifting features and RF fadeout. No data available from Learmonth, some activity seen on the Owens Valley 80MHz range spectrogram. Would been keen to see if someone else observed this. Regards, Luke. Virus-free.www.norton.com

Solar Activity reported by this group.
9
Below is a chart showing reported solar activity by this group since it started. This was done with ChatGPT's help and only includes new posts with an image and using keywords. It is just an approximate value. The idea was to see if our activity on this group approximates the solar activity (using sunspot number because it was easy to get) and as an exercise for me to see if something might be done to facilitate archiving these curated reports. All of the activity of this group was downloaded as a single 12 GB mbox file which was then used to produce a single filtered CSV file. GPT then analyzed the CSV file and produced a python program the does the histogram. -- Jim Sky radiosky at radiosky dot com http://radiosky.com

LINEARITY - MEASUREMENTS
7
I was intrigued by the calibration of the standard RJ setup. While I do not use that setup, I decided to measure what I use for other purposes, including RJ. So, have a read of the attachment. I'm using the AirSpy Discovery HF+ to test the linearity. The system is diagrammed to start and then, I ran an HP generator up by 10 dB steps ultimately into Radio SkyPipe. I was somewhat disappointed at the non-linear behavior of the system. Please have a read of the attachment. CONCLUSION: Yes, calibration is needed if linear response to the input is required!!!

The FFT and nuclear weapons

Here's a very interesting explanation of how and why the modern FFT came to exist in the 1960s, then we discover that Gauss had already invented it, but never published it. Veritasium - The Most Important Algorithm of All Time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmgFG7PUHfo -- Dave
