Propagation Report from Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP

29 November, 2009

Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP, reports that solar activities are still at low levels. The surface of the sun has been void of any sunspots for the majority of the week.

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

During the late afternoons and early evenings, it will be moderate towards Europe. In the afternoons there are good possibilities 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, 15 and 20 m contacts may be possible with Brazil.

Local conditions will be good on 40 m during the daytime. 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 once again becoming very useful for contacts over the longer distances. 80 m is the frequency of choice in the evenings.
