Hi Alan,
What do you think, could the high geomag activity be an improvement for
the parth DL-> VK/ZL? The path has a bearing of 79 deg from here, so
maybe its good that the signals coming through the auroral oval are well
attenuated.
This is the path DK7FC -> VK1SV:

Sorry for letting you all down......after all those quiet periods just as
things get interesting, I have had a major PC crash and have not rebuilt that
machine yet(Idleness rules!). It has my html editor and images on it. I am
keeping tabs on things with a notebook.
Unfortunately I dont have all the "research" bookmarks on this machine. The
SWPC warning email suggests a Kp of 6 from the first storm but I believe there may be a
bigger one on the way( arrive thursday nite or friday ). There is the possibility that
the effects will be additive leading to a prolonged period of poor conditions.
The state of the recovery is best indicated by the Dst index, and the rate it
is returning towards -20 nT. I would not be surprised if conditions were down
for around 3 weeks, with localised better days in the lst week. The consolation
is that daytime propagation my improve for a couple of days after the mag
storms, but it will never be better than the night-time conditions.
