[SJRA-Members] ARRL propagation outlook for Field Day

[K2WB]

Bob,
Thanks for the updated information, we will keep an eye on it.

One nice thing about the propagation is that it usually affects everyone
equally. This is why the effort to keep stations on the air is so important.

I will think we should have a FD meeting on the 13th (Tuesday), I will put
the word out.

73's

Subject: [SJRA-Members] ARRL propagation outlook for Field Day

Early this evening I caught most of the ARRL propagation forecast being
broadcast on 80m PSK31 You can also find it on the ARRL archive site:
 
http://www.arrl.org/w1aw-bulletins-archive/ARLP021/2017
 
The good news is that at the moment, the outlook for Field Day is looking
good.  This may not be the fantastic conditions we'd all love but since
we're at the bottom of the cycle, "good" is the new great.  Of course what's
good for us is good for everyone else too, so if you find yourself making
QSOs by the hundreds a few weekends from now, don't take your foot off the
gas because everyone else will be too.  Push harder.
 
This particular blurb in the forecast caught my eye:
 
ARRL Field Day is only four weeks away. We get 45-day predictions for solar
flux and planetary A index, and the prediction for Field Day weekend (June
24 and 25) looks good. On June 23 to 25 (including the previous Friday)
predicted planetary A index is 5 (good) and solar flux is 76 on Friday and
74 on Saturday and Sunday (not bad).
 
This forecast will be updated several more times so let's cross our fingers
and hope it gets even better.
 
73,
Bob - KE2D
