Tad Cook, K7VVV, points out in its weekly presage of propagation it points out that during last week the activity geomagnética was not high. And HF stops it was good with a solar flow of 225.
Tad's presage for HF point out that the best propagation conditions in 80 and 40 meters toward Europe will be after the midnight. In 30 meters during the day and the night. In 20 meters around the exit of the sun, while with the little East before the local evening, while in 17 and 15 meters it will be around the exit of the sun. In 20 meters two hours after the exit of the sun and some hours before the decline.
From America of the South to USA in 80 meters three hours after the decline until after the mid night and in 40 meters one hour after the decline and one hour later. In 30 meters some hours before the exit of the sun and in 20 meters before the decline and up to four hours after the exit of the sun. In 10 and 12 meters after the exit of the sun until the decline. With Asia in 80 and 40 meters after midnight until one hour before the exit of the sun, but for the oriental coast, one hour before the exit of the sun.

PREDICTION IN THEIR QTH. - If you want to have a prediction of the propagation in their QTH, she only has to lower the program of W6EL that is gratuitous of: http://www.qsl.net/w6elprop/ and to put him the data of the solar flow and the index K that are provided here and that it was of 219.7 the flow solar average while the index K average is of 7.1.

PREDICTION OF NEIL CLARKE G0CAS. - During the last week, the solar activity was moderate, with a flow of 229 as maximum but with an average of 223, an unit less than one week before.
The presage indicate that the critical frequencies of F2 will present good conditions in HF in 14MHZ when the darkness. You prediction a good communication in VHF in the polar region. An excellent propagation is also predicted in 50MHZ between USA and Canada with Scandinavia.
It also predicts that during the hours of the day among same latitudes will have good propagation around 40MHZ with the United Kingdom and at the hours of the darkness it will be around the 9MHZ. The good frequency with 90 percent of possibilities of success will be around 32MHZ and the best moment among 0800 1400z. In 50MHZ the best thing could be among 0900 1100z with the half part of Europe with the American Continent.
