"Solar activity was Low over the last 24 hours with several C-class X-ray
flares. These were all produced by sunspot region 1419(N28E77) which rotated
onto the disc during this period. No CMEs of significance were observed. The
solar wind speed as measured by the ACE satellite ranged around 300-340 km/s
prior to 1700 before increasing to around 380 km/s afterwards. The IMF Bz
component ranged between +3/-5 nT.
Solar activity is expected to remain low with some chance of M-class flares
over the next three days.

Propagation research:
I studied spectrum occupancy on Feb 13 at a field site at Donnelly's Weir,
near Healesville, 70 km east of Melbourne, revealing good propagation in the
mid-afternoon period between 0330 and 0430 on 11 MHz and 13 MHz.
Longpath from Europe, Africa, Middle East - shortpath from Americas, Asia -
this is a summary of key occupancies in period 0330 to 0400:
