Flux reaching 125, and the SSN at 71. Since then, both indices have moved
downwards, now hovering around 109 (flux) and 50 (SSN).
This short-term peak didn't reveal any unusual propagation activity into
Melbourne.
The summer daytime propagation mode from Asia has now concluded, and the
daytime pattern is now exhibiting signs of our approaching winter, with
plenty of longpath activity from Europe, Middle East and Africa from early
afternoon.
Very few occupancies noted on frequencies above 13 MHz across our sunrise
period, 1800 to 2000, with MUFs/ALFs far too low to support transmission
from anywhere!
11 MHz band
Many signals have been noted in this band in the window 1900 to 2000,
dominated by shortpath from Europe, Africa and the Middle East. This summary
of February 20 will be of interest:
