[SEDXC] BAND CONDX FRIDAY

[Mike Greenway]

XZ1J is back with a group and I am copying them on 20 M CW and they are working a lot of NA SP.  They just QSYed 20 SSB at around 21:30.  They will be there until the 26th.  Would expect to hear them on higher bands this evening.  Not sure if 20 will support it but 15 should.

Z81X group just fired up today with some emphasis on 80 and 160 but will hit the other bands also.  They have some good low band ops with them.

T33A and XR0ZR still in there plugging away.

The CQ WW CW is next weekend, Nov 23 – 24, a year when it does NOT fall on Thanksgiving.  Should be a lot of expeditions out next week priming for the contest.  Two big groups due up next week, S2 Bangladesh and VU7 Laccadives.  

Flux is up to 178.  Don’t think it have been this high since the last sunspot cycle peak 2000-2002 so enjoy 10 M while we have it.
