Amateur Radio News line report number 2517 with the release date of Friday, January 23, 2026 to follow in five 4, 3, 2, 1. The following is a QST A Severe Solar Radiation Storm Disrupts HF Communication US Lawmakers Propose Restoring funds to Voice of America and in New Zealand, Q codes are on the move. All this and more as Amateur Radio Newsline Report number 2517 comes your way right now from around the world. This is Newsline, Amateur Radio's first independent on the air News and Bulletin service. Now reporting from Wadsworth, Ohio, here's Stefan Kenford in awp. Our top story this week is the most severe solar radiation storm in more than 20 years. It began on Monday, January 19th and lasted through much of the week. The National Weather Service declared the storm to be at an S4 level, a degree of severity not seen since October of 2023. S4 is the second highest level of this type of storm. The storm severity, which exceeded that of the one in October of 2023 disrupted the HF ban, challenging ham radio operators while creating spectacular auroral displays. A bipartisan agreement among the US Lawmakers could restore the government's financial support of Voice of America, Radio Free Europe and other federally funded news services. Kent Peterson, KC0DGY has that story. U.S. lawmakers in Washington, D.C. have reached a deal that would fund the Voice of America giving its parent organization, the U.S. agency for Global Media, an estimated $653 million. That figure is considerably lower than the annual $860 million provided previously to the agency as described on the Radio World website. The funds would also pay for restoration of operations for Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty and Radio Free Asia. A minimum of $30 million is earmarked for medium and shortwave programming by the Office of Cuba Broadcasting. The deal is part of a larger spending bill, the National Security Department of State and Related Programs Appropriations Act. It has the support of both parties in Congress and its funding plan goes against the White House's executive order from last year which shut the international news services. Even if the measure receives final approval from the House and Senate, it will still require the President's signature. This is Kent Peterson, KCzero PTY. The NASA's Artemis 2 mission began its long awaited journey to the moon and back on Saturday 17 January with the Rockets rollout onto the launch pad at the Kennedy Space center in Florida. Three of the four astronauts who will be aboard have their amateur radio licenses. Travis Lick N3ILS tells us what's up next.

K6RTs, K6KG, W6RHC repeater check two, this is K6RCs. Go ahead. Oh, you're coming in so loud and clear. We're just turning order ferry on our way to Willows, but I wanted to let you know everything went great at the hazardous waste place. Fantastic. I think I'm gonna leave the other batteries intact on the other one because they're not dangerous, so I'll just leave the spare. So I think we're good. Good. But the computer's drive has been removed, and. Yeah, we're ready to rock and roll. So. Awesome. Yeah. They were like, does this monitor go? I'm like, absolutely rad. The guy was like, can you ride this thing? And I was like, yep. My husband did. He's like, I kill myself on this. I'm like, I would, too. Yeah. But the first one, the one that started it all, is now retired, officially, underground hazardous waste. So that was awesome. They took everything and, yeah, we definitely need to go back with whatever else we got that has to go. So I'm down to get the garage organized. You know, I've got, like, SCSI boards in the garage. There's a whole pile of things that I'm PCI board boards, things that I'll never use again. Yeah, let's. Let's hit it. Yeah, totally. Next free day. I wonder whether you know what a SCSI board is. Little SCSI cable for your scanner, anyway. All right, well, cool. Vlad went well. Yeah. Working on some stuff here. So we will get some boards together. If I can pull some more out for you, I will. Okay. Sounds good, hon. We're almost to Willows. Gonna pick up pizza for lunch and then head up the hill. I hope to be back in time for 5 o', clock, but I guess we can always watch it after the fact, too. I'm sure Netflix is recording it, right? Yeah, but, you know, you're kind of gonna know the outcome, right? So one way or another, you're gonna know who won that game. Because if you made it, you won't hear much of anything. If you didn't make it, you'll absolutely hear it. I'm being funny. Of course Netflix is gonna replay it. I'm still gonna shoot for getting home around that time, so we can all watch it. And thinking, I don't know what we want to pull out from the freezer for dinner, but we can. I'll text you later about that. Maybe we just pull out some pfas and put it on a low simmer. Drinking tacos again. Or I can make a meatloaf. No, no. PFAS is way better. Have PFAS in the fridge freezer with pickled jalapenos or peppers. My face is sweating already. Put out your cold. No, no. And I got nothing. Barely a tickle. But I left that one here at home because I didn't think you'd want to eat it at the office. So, yeah, you got it if you were hungry. And then there's also those miso soup, ramen things in the cabinet. Or more chicken noodle soup. Word to your mother. Okay, Sounds good. Okay, back at you, bro. 7388 K6RCS. Clear on yours?
