SOLAR ACTIVITY VERY LOW

 
Latest from IPS Sydney is that the 10.7 cm Solar Radio Flux has dropped to a miserable 95, and the Equivalent Smoothed Sunspot number down to 41.
 
That means that long-haul multi-hop propagation on darkness or semi-darkness paths on frequencies above about 14 MHz will be unreliable.
 
Here in Melbourne, around sunrise on April 30, 2015, the 11 MHz, 13 MHz, 15 MHz and 17 MHz bands were very active active in the time period 1930 to 2000, with notable signals including RAE ARGENTINA 15345, 11665 RTM (Kajang - normally local daytime frequency but running all-night parallel to 9835), 11775 UNIVERSITY NETWORK (ANGUILLA), and REE SPAIN running three transmitters on 15490 17715 and 17855.
 
Propagation from Americas dominant via short path (daylight) over Pacific; from Europe/Africa via long path over Atlantic and Pacific.
