News September 2010

The summer sporadic E layer season is coming to an end, and we are experiencing some very quiet periods again.

We have autumn/winter propagation to look forward to, it should provide some great opportunities for long distance DX, but we're still near the bottom of the cycle, so these will be fairly rare. Patience is the name of the game this autumn/winter period on 11m.

As 11m becomes quieter the Echo Charlie bands start to pick up with increased activity. Although all care must be taken, international DX is now widespread on EC throughout EU, with the rare station from further a field.

The sun and cycle 24 still eludes us.Other international divisions currently experiencing better conditions, but still not as good as expected.
