[CQ-Contest] CQ WW CW Propacation Forecast by OH8RC

[Harri M. Mantila OH6YF-OH0MYF]

CQWWCW 1997 SHORT PROPAGATION FORECAST dated November 27.1997 by OH8RC

The  27  day  rule  seems  to  be  in force.  On  and  around 3rd  Nov 97 
propagation  was  very  good, solar  flux  around  110  and  geomagnetic 
field  quiet. This  would  mean  good  conditions  also  on the 
CQWWCW-Contest  weekend  29.-30.November.
 
On  26th  Nov.  the  solar  flux  was  again  up  to  102-108.  The 
Boulder  a-index  was  1,   the  k-index  2,  solar  activity 
low/moderate, geomagnetic  field  quiet.  This  made  good  conditions, 
and  even  in  OH  7 MHz  was  wide open  to  USA  not  only  at 
night/morning,  but  strong  signals  around  12UTC   short  path. 
 
November  27th  at  0600 UTC  the  k-index  was  1.
 
The  NOAA  forecast  tells,  that  conditions  should  stay  good  until 
Sunday,  solar  activity moderate, geomagnetic  field  quiet. This  would 
mean  good  conditions  also  in  Northern  Europe  over  North  Pole  area
 to Pacific  and  possible  even  28MHz  openings  to  USA   and  JA, 
because  Aurora  will  hopefully  keep  away  from  northern  latitudes. 
Or  -   you  never  exactly  know   when  the  DX  is  coming...
