Strong Plasma cloud in offering on Jul. 2nd for Sporadic E

Hi Everybody;

The Plasma Prediction center at NOAA has detected another relatively slow moving plasma cloud from the sun. The cloud is predicted to hit on July the 2nd. at 17:00 UTC.
This cloud is slow moving but one of the densest one we have seen in a long time. Check the attachment of this e-mail and/or go to the NOAA website.

Make sure you turn on your transceiver for 6m and possibly even higher sporadic E.

All the best and good DX;

6 METERS!

 

We will look to operate the NH K2K Thirteen Colonies station on 6M during the event. Watch for us on July 2nd!

 

We will be ready in Brazil!

Thanks for the information, VE7DXW. We will be listening.

 

I am scrambling to set up a station right now!!!

 

Also will be ready and waiting in South Texas from rare grid EL18 on SSB.

 

Ahh yes THE MAGIC BAND. Getting it's name for never know what's going to happen? 50.100-54.000 mhz usb

 

PLEASE do NOT --JUST-- use JT65 on 50.276....

 

Out here on the rig with my KX3, maybe I'll get some 6 meter action!

 

I agree. So many six metre stalwarts are using JT65 that CW and SSB activity has dropped significantly. I'm playing with JT65 on 6m out of frustration. I hope this is only temporary.

 

ill be playing on 10m fm, 6m fm, and 10m ssb

 

High latitude aurora maybe... doubt much e-skip impact... 6 has been rocking all week!

 

The band is reported open
Radio is on
Antenna is tuned
What do I hear? NOTHING

 

Computer-to-computer "QSOs" are killing six meters. I, too hope that this digital nonsense is only temporary---what fun is a contact one cannot even hear?

Long live CW and SSB (and even AM/FM) where the real magic begins!

73+6, Jeff (diehard six-meter sidebander until SK)
