If you wish to learn more about how the sun effects propagation visit Solarham.com .

It is very interesting and with 4 X-Ray Solar Flares in the last two weeks we may be at or near the peak of Solar Cycle 24.

I can remember if that's the same site or not but you can download a free propagation "gadget" for your computer there. It's just a small deal on the right hand side of your computer screen that shows you real time band conditions and solar activity. Pretty neat.

Thank you for the update, SlyGuy.

I believe you are talking about HamCap, but I could be wrong.

I imagine there are probably quite a few of these tools, gadgets.

I really like the website above because VE3EN, Kevin, takes it very serious to keep all of us radio operators up-to-date.
