1. PROPAGATION: WITH WINTER COMING AND BEING AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF
THE SOLAR CYCLE, WE ARE ALL EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTY ON OUR NETS. ONE
OF THE BEST RESOURCES I HAVE FOUND TO GET AN UP-TO-DATE PICTURE OF
WHAT IS GOING ON ON THE SUN IS WWW.SPACEWEATHER.COM. THIS SITE HAS
THE LATEST PICTURE OF THE SUN AND, UNFORTUNATELY, FOR THE LAST COUPLE
OF WEEKS, THERE HAVE BEEN ZERO SUNSPOTS. AS A RESULT OF THE LACK OF
SOLAR ACTIVITY, EVEN OUR THREE MHZ FREQUENCIES ARE BECOMING UNUSABLE
FOR EARLY EVENING NETS. JUST A REMINDER THAT THERE ARE TEN USP
FREQUENCIES IN THE 2-MEG RANGE THAT COULD BE USED. THERE ARE NEARLY
AS MANY 2-MEG FREQUENCIES THAT ARE CLEARED FOR SOME, BUT NOT ALL,
REGIONS. IF YOU HAVE THE CAPABILITY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CLECK OUT
THESE FREQUENCIES AND REQUEST THEM VIA THE CHAIN OF COMMAND IF YOU
FIND THEM USEFUL.
