There's some confusion about the effects of increasing solar
activity on 160 meter DX propagation.
160 meter DX propagation is often badly affected by nighttime propagation
degradations, especially as Solar Cycle 25 becomes much more active
from now through solar maximum in about 2024-2025 and as
Hi guys
This kind of propagation is common on 160m for this part of the solar cycle,
I'd taking notes about propagation since 2006, and 2012 to 2014, all notes are
very bad propagation in January, like we are seeing now. However there was
great DX along those years. DX expeditions are coming

Why do you say that? We had far more flares in 202

Why do you say that? We had far more flares in 2022 than in 2021 and I
expect more flaring in 2023
than 2022. And it is not just the frequency of the flaring that has
increased,
All the flare action normally happens on the downslope of the cycle.
Who knows what will happen then!!
Roger, I am still trying to fix my 160 rx antennas

Roger, I somewhat agree that things do seem a little different this time as
even HF is not reflecting what these high flux numbers should be doing. I may
be wrong but this present run-up of the
Thanks for that Bob (I must confess that I've never really been into
understanding all the technical factors that affect propagation)
But the thing is that I've been DX-ing on 160m for over 50 years . . . and
never known it be so poor for so long, at any point in the Solar Cycle. (in
fact I
Hi Roger,
We currently have a combination of elevated A and K indices, an X class
flare within the past 24 hours and we are 2 years into Cycle 25 with
higher levels of SFI, SSN and absorption.
Disappointing propagation for on 160 sure but none of this should be a
surprise since it
I wonder why DX propagation continues to be so bad?
Certainly across the pond from Europe, signals are still at least 20dB below
normal . .
I've never known it be so poor for so long
