FYI: Poor SW Listening Conditions
Current Solar Flux report:
SFI: 116 A-index: 65 K-Index: 3 Report last updated: 12:01utc 19 Aug 03 The high A-Index is a killer and the low Solar Flux is NOT amenable to good propagation in the higher frequencies. The above -- SEZ conditions for the Short wave bands are poor to lousy at the moment and it will get worse as the solar cycle declines. When times were good Highs for Cycle 23 Flux: 283 - 26 Sep 2001 So for now --- Tune to the lower frequencies For what all these numbers mean and how SWL propagation works. See URL: http://www.ae4rv.com/tn/propflash.htm Only 5 or 6 more years til the solar cycle rises again (more or less) !!!! See URL: http://www.dxlc.com/solar/solcycle.html For Solar Cycles 22 and 23 The next solar minimum will likely occur sometime in 2006 with cycle 24 peaking in 2010. |
