Sunspots and 10m - Wed Feb 10th 2016
The question is will today be a repeat of the good 10m conditions of yesterday? Possibly. Solar flux is 116 and sunspot number 79 (K=2). Yet again, the 10m propagation forecast is "poor". I rarely find this correct!
Roger, it looks to me that the threshold for changing "poor" to "fair is a solar flux of 120. Under 120 it says "poor", 120 and above "fair", probably unless the magnetic unrest is too high. Have been watching the numbers and forecasts for a while, now.
And yes 10m was pretty good yesterday, not quite as good today, here.
