Hi all, geomagnetic activity has been "quiet" for several days now and the
night-time paths are improving steadily. The DCF39 plot for the 10/11th at
Steve Dove's site (W3EEE) shows the best levels I have seen since January
2003, with best time around 0600z and little fading at all through the
night. Despite this I only have weak suggestions (no character seen) of Joe
VO1NA's signal here last night. He is operating with a reduced efficiency
aerial at present. CFH is inactive at present.
NOAA SEC forecast an increase to minor storm levels (Kp=5) on the 12/13th
( though they do not seem to be aware that the current month is February
!! ) as a coronal hole becomes geoeffective again. I do not expect this (if
it occurs) to have any radio effects before the 15/16th so we have a window
of about 5 days at present.
Happy Hunting
Cheers de Alan G3NYK
