To All Radio Amateurs

The bulletin this week is being sent two days early because of the
holiday.  The solar numbers and averages below are for six days.
Next week's bulletin will give those numbers for eight days.

Solar flux was up about five points over the past week.  The most
disturbed day was Friday, November 19 at 0600z when the K index was
six.  Otherwise, geomagnetic indices have been stable, and solar
activity has been low.

Conditions should be stable for the CQ Worldwide CW DX Contest this
weekend, and solar flux should be under 100.

Disturbed conditions may return after the first of the month due to
recurring coronal holes.

Sunspot Numbers from November 18 through 23 were 56, 59, 58, 78, 75
and 69, with a mean of 65.8.  10.7 cm flux was 102.6, 101.1, 100.5,
97, 99.3, and 100.4, with a mean of 100.2

The path projection for this week is from Chicago to Greece.

80 meters should be open from 1930z to 0730z, with the best time
from 2200z to 0530z.  40 meters looks good from 1700z to 1000z, with
the best shot from 2130z to 0600z.  30 meters should be open most
days from 0530z to 0730z, and every day from 1330z to 2300z.
20 meters looks good from 1400z to 1730z.  17 meters should be open
from 1500z to 1630z.  15 meters may be open on a few days over the
same period.  10 and 12 meters do not look promising over this path.
