The aurora may become visible over some northern an= d upper Midwest states from New York to Idaho. Additional M-class (minor-m= oderate) solar flares are expected through October 9=2C otherwise solar ac= tivity is expected to remain at low levels. The declining sunspot cycle will keep 10 and 12 meters pretty quiet for DX= =2C except for north-south openings and occasional sporadic-E. DX opportun= ities should be better on 17 and 15 meters in the coming week=2C with the= solar flux above 100 for the entire period (see daily predictions below).= Twenty meters will continue being the workhorse DX band=2C while 30=2C 40= =2C 60=2C and 80 meters will be at their best during hours of darkness. Ma= ny stations in remote locations will be starting to tune up their equipmen= t for the CQ World Wide SSB DX Contest on October 24-25=2C so listen for e= xotic call signs and unanticipated band openings as they test and tweak th= eir setups.
