Shortwave Monitoring Notes

The 10.7 cm solar flux hit a new high yesterday of 155, but dropped back to
143 today. The SSN also was high, at 109, but now gone down to 97.

I've been doing some research into 11 MHz band occupancies - some good
longpath and ahortpath propagation at various times.

This summary of March 9 should be of interest: two windows - 1900 to 2000
and 0400 to 0500!
