Propagation Report from Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP27 February, 2011 New sunspot 1 163 produced a spectacular M3 class solar flare on Feb. 24th. Sunspot 1 163 will continue turning toward Earth in the days ahead, setting the stage for more potent geo-effects if the eruptions continue. The effective sunspot number is expected to be around 30 for the coming week. 15 m will provide the best opportunities for DX followed by 20 m. Conditions to India will be good from the afternoon till after sunset. During the afternoons conditions will be good towards Europe on 15 m, later to be followed by good 20 m openings. Good 15 m contacts with the USA are possible during the evenings. Contacts with Australia are possible on 20 m after sunset. 15 and especially 20 m openings to Brazil and South America are possible during the afternoons. With the good 15 and 20 m openings 17 m will also be full of surprises. For the CW and digital enthusiasts 30 m may be very rewarding with openings to many parts of the world. Locally 40 m is the work horse for contacts around the country with 20 and 30 m also being very useful for contacts over the longer distances. 80 m will be best during the early mornings and late afternoons as well as over the shorter distances. 80 m is the frequency of choice during the evenings.
