June 19, 2016 - Yuck! HF bands are dead. I updated LoTW and confirmed more eQSL's, which was nice. I've not been in the shack for months because of a busy schedule and poor band conditions. Perhaps 6M SSB will open later this afternoon.
Thus far, I've only copied W5RF (Texas, weak readable) making a QSO with T77LA (San Marino) at 12:24PM EDT. Otherwise, the bands are flat here at my station.
Tad Cook, K7RA offered the following statement yesterday:
"That was a little scary seeing the daily sunspot number at zero for four days, June 3 to 6, but conditions seem to have recovered nicely."
The following graphic is from K7RA's webpage (it's a nice graphic resource). Looks like 160M and 15M may be the only possibilities right now. I'm off to listen on 15M SSB.
