Propagation Report from Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP 7 February, 2010
Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP, reports that the solar activity is still at low levels. Currently sunspot 1 043 is still the only active region on the visible surface of the sun.
The effective sunspot number is expected to be between fifteen and twenty for the coming week.
20 and 15 m will provide the best opportunities for DX. Conditions to India will be good from the afternoons onwards. During the late afternoons and early evenings it will be moderate towards Europe. In the afternoons there are good possibilities of contacts with the USA on 15 m. Contacts with Australia will be possible on 20 m for a short while during the mornings. During the afternoons and evenings 20 and 15 m contacts may also be possible with Brazil.
Local conditions are going to be good on 40 m during the day time. 80 m may perform well during the early mornings and late afternoons over the shorter distances. 30 m will perform well over the longer distances during the middle of the day. With summer here 20 m is also once again very useful for contacts over the longer distances, especially up to two o’clock in the afternoons.
80 m is the frequency of choice in the evenings.
