Propagation Report from Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP

06 December, 2009

Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP, reports that the solar activity is still at low levels. The surface of the sun has been blank of any sunspots for
more than eleven days in a row.

20 and 15 m will provide the best opportunities for DX. Conditions to India will be good from the afternoon onwards.

During the late afternoons and early evenings it will be moderate towards Europe. In the afternoon there is a good possibility of contacts with the USA on 15 m.

Contacts with New Zealand and Australia will be possible for a short while on 15 m during the mornings.

During the afternoons and evenings 20 and 15 m contacts may be possible with Brazil.

Local conditions are going to be good on 40 m during the day time. 80 m may perform well during the early mornings and late afternoons over the shorter distances. 30 m will perform well over the longer distances during the middle of the day. With summer here 20 m is also once again very useful for contacts over the longer distances
