FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

Mexico booming in here now. Little bit of the Gulf Coast of Texas and some Florida coming through as well..... not great conditions, but at least there's something going on !
Seems to always be dead in the morning these days, but around noon it picks up and skip stays in until late evening with Australia etc.

Nothing doing out here..... and my prediction site says.. "Radio blackouts reaching the R3 level are expected".
I'm not expecting anything much in the way of radio conditions for the next week or ten days at least. Another CME is due to hit tomorrow and this one could be even stronger than the one that hit us on Friday.........
The sun is the most active it's been in almost 30 years right now and active sun generally equals poor DX.
