ARLP051 Propagation de KT7H
 
Average solar flux was exactly the same last week as the week prior.
Values hovered around 80.  The one day with active geomagnetic
conditions was December 2 when the A index was 20 and the K index
rose as high as five.
 
The solar flux is expected to stay right around 80 for the rest of
December.  There may be a slight dip around mid month, but otherwise
there should be little change.  Geomagnetic conditions may be
unsettled around December 17, and active to storm levels around
December 23, remaining unsettled to active through December 29.
 
Sunspot Numbers for December 1 through 7 were 15, 12, 11, 14, 14, 16
and 28, with a mean of 15.7.  10.7 cm flux was 79.1, 79.1, 81.8,
81.9, 80.7, 78.5 and 80.1, with a mean of 80.2.
 
The path projection for this week is from Minneapolis to Malta.
 
80 meters should be open from 2130 to 0700z, and 40 meters from 2000
to 2330 and again from 0300 to 0800.  On some days 40 meters may be
open through the period from 2330 to 0300.  30 meters looks good
from 1500 to 1830 and again from 0530 to 0800.  Check 20 meters from
1430 to 1800 and 17 meters from 1530 to 1700.  15 meters might be
open on some days around 1600, but the ham bands above 21 MHz do not
look promising over this path.
