18 hours is the first part of this front comes through and currently down at 29.74. The solar numbers actually have gone up. The solar flux is up to 156, which is going in the right direction. That's a pretty good number for this part of the solar cycle and the K index is way down. I don't see a whole lot of propagation to the east though. The U.S. has got a lot of 20 meter. Nothing really going over to Europe. We just won well, it's showing a couple of signals over there, but a lot of stuff going to the west and it's mostly 20 meters. Anything from 17 on down should be pretty good right now. The upper bands are usually toast in the summer and especially on the decline of the cycle. One announcement, it only affects those that work HF, but Venezuela has requested that there's a hurricane watch frequency that's on 7135 kilohertz, 40 meters.
