This Solar Week
The sunspot number is currently still holding and may rise on late Sunday or Monday. The solar wind speed is very fast now and winds are well into positive territory. They may slow a bit this weekend. It remains to be seen if this will benifit contesters this weekend. The NASA STEREO rotating image shows sunspot activity just over the Western horizon about to rotate into view which will be minor and should not be of much consequence this weekend. Contesters this weekend will not find the upper HF bands favorable with the exception of a few DX openings here in the Louisiana Section, waining toward Monday. You might hear the new beacon from Kyrgyzstan if the Auroral intensity we have seen of late continues. Ten meter openings have been reported in the Section for the last three weeks but are very sporatic and short lived. Check this page for the latest predictions based on HamCap. Just click the link to the worldwide maps labeled "HamCap: World Map". These maps are based on the current sunspot number and K-index readings for a displayed time period centered here in the Louisiana Section. It will help you make decisions about which band may have the best chance for DX in the target area you wish to work. Prediction charts for specific target areas are also listed. Get your own copy of the Ham Cap application to run on Windows [native] or Linux [under wine] from Afreet Software. The DX_Central application shown is available for Linux or Windows by clicking the link provided on the right sidebar. 73. Good Luck and Good DX! New Radio Beacon in Kyrgyzstan
