Propagation Report from Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP

08 November, 2009

Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP, reports that the solar activity is still at low levels. There were no sunspots visible during the last couple of days.

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

During the late afternoons and early evenings, it will be good towards Europe. In the mornings it may be possible to make contacts with Australia on 20 m. In the afternoons there are good possibilities of contacts with the USA on
15 m.

Contacts with New Zealand are going to be challenging. During the afternoons and evenings, 15 and 12 m contacts may be promising with Brazil.

Local conditions are going to be good on 40 m during the daytime. 80 m may perform well during the early mornings and late afternoons over shorter distances. 30 m will perform well over longer distances during the middle of the day.

With summer here, 20 m is also once again becoming very useful for contacts between Divisions 1 and 6.
80 m is the frequency of choice in the evenings.
