PROPAGATION |
| |
Paul
P. Cook, K7VVV,
points out in its analyses on the propagation that it is
necessary to revise at nights the bands of 80 and 160 meters. The solar
flow in the week 11 points of the average of the same previous period was
below, but they are ascending slowly, calculating that it will be in 215
between December 30 and January 2, and probably continue ascending, if it
doesn't affect him the sunspot 9742 that it is rotating toward where it
could be a threat.
On the other hand Neil
Clarke, G0CAS
in its analysis of the propagation, assures that the solar
flow remained to the same level of 219 units like the previous week. The
activity geomagnetic was quiet every day, with an average of Ap 6. The
ship space AS detected a decline in the solar wind of 500 kilometers per
second to 400 kilometers per second. The F2 registered the one that could
be the highest level during the solar cycle - of 12.5Mhz at the 5Mhz -.
Among the midnight and until the dawn the best thing will be in 3.8Mhz.
The bands of HF will remain in excellent condition with all the
continents. In 50 Mhz the propagation for F-layer will have every day,
like they were given in the week in the mornings with openings to the
Means This, Philippines, to the This of United States and Canada. In the
United Kingdom it has also been had conditions excellent troposferic in
VHF and UHF. For America of the South, the usable maximum frequency will
be of 36Mhz with 50 percent of success, but the good frequency for 90
percent of success, it will be around 29Mhz and the best time between 1200
and 1800z.
Report of XE1BEF. - In
Mexico, the propagation has been excellent in 50Mhz, since during the days
of the 24 at December 28, daily openings have been presented from 15.00z
with USA and Canada and in occasions they stay up to 17.33z and in the
afternoons from 23.50z and in occasions up to 0200z . W1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-0,
