Solar flux still meanders listlessly in the seventies. At least over the past week geomagnetic disturbances were down, with K indices as low as zero and one over many periods. Look for fair conditions over this contest weekend, with no big surprises in store. We could see some disturbed conditions around the end of the month, and again after December 11.
Sunspot Numbers for November 9 through 15 were 13, 19, 14, 11, 12, 13 and 28, with a mean of 15.7. 10.7 cm flux was 77.2, 78.1, 77.4, 76, 73, 75 and 76.6, with a mean of 76.2.
The path projection is for this Sweepstakes contest weekend, and goes from Seattle to Oklahoma, Chicago and Miami and from Atlanta to Dallas, San Francisco and Kansas.
