[Elecraft] OT: geomagnetic storm effects on bands?

[Fred Jensen]

http://www.n3kl.org/sun/noaa.html Most everything you could want to know 
about solar conditions on one page.

http://www.hamqsl.com/solar.html The table to the left tells the 
remainder of the story, including band conditions.  As of the time of 
this email, the best HF conditions we can expect are "fair" on 17 and 
15.  All the others are "poor".  Note the "SW" [solar wind], 618 km/s 
... about twice what it normally runs.

There was a group of flares [and CME's] just off the left side of the 
graphs and Kp has been 5 all 11/4 UTC day and for some of 11/3.  Couple 
of M-class flares today.  GOES magnetometers are all over the place 
right now, probably from CME's early this week.

73,
