K7VVV highlights in its weekly analysis of the propagation that the values of the solar flow that were had in November and that they fluctuated between 147.2 and 233.8 they were quite high compared with those of the previous year. However, the solar flow among the 16 and 20 of December prevé increases that could be important, like one also waits good conditions for the Competition of 10 Meters of ARRL. It also highlights the excellent propagation in 6 meters that many DX allowed among continents through the layer F2. It reported K7MCX that December 4 at 2342Z o'clock JA7BZU worked in 6 meters and when it verified its log, he/she found that 12 years ago in the same date, December of 1989, 4 but with a difference of 23 minutes among both dates, they had already communicated, what represents that they were in the crest of the cycle of the previous sunspot.

On the other hand the RSGB predicts that the best moment to achieve DX with a proportion of 90 percent of success, it should be approximately among 26MHZ among 0800 1300Z. And if the solar flow remains in the 200 like it has been predicted, verify the band of 6 meters because it can have openings in the mornings and to the west during the afternoon. But during the hours of the light of the day the communication among same latitudes should be around 40mhz, while when darkness it will be around the 9mhz.
