http://www.sec.noaa.gov/weekly/pdf/prf1644.pdf on page 10 we see, maybe we are at bottom!!
look at the double high mid 2000 es mid 2001..
6m was open from vk3 to EU/USA on both high's..
Now look at the bottom, jan/feb 06 and feb 07,, was this a false low in 06 or will we go a little lower 07,but it looks like we are now at the bottom, we are at 11 with a increase up, due for April/May..
It is interesting to note we had a double high (2000 es 2001) es a double low (2006 es 2007)If ,as some are saying the next high will be 50% higher ,well that's 170 plus 50% (220) .. Could be one of our highest in modern times.. Considering our modern Radios es high gain antenna's now in use ,6m DXCC is possible from vk3 on the next sun spot high,in about 3/4 years time..
Also more HAMS are using 6m or have radio's that will TX on 6m so our chances have improved somewhat.
Hopefully by this time all vk will/can use full power 400watts. now is the time to ask WIA/ACMA for our power levels to be increased in VK3 on 6m..All VHF tv should be on UHF Digital,so no problem's with VHF TVI hi hi

| SOLAR UPDATE Spotmeister Tad "Saved By Zero" Cook, K7RA, Seattle, Washington, reports: So
far this month we've observed nine days in a row with zero sunspots. Based
on predicted smoothed sunspot numbers, if this month and the next are truly
the solar minimum, we should probably see several weeks in a row with no
sunspots.
The prediction for the next period of unsettled geomagnetic conditions is
for around April 20, with an expected planetary A index of 20. After that, a
planetary A index of 25 is predicted for April 28. This same forecast (from
the US Air Force, via NOAA) shows solar flux of 70 until April 16, when it
rises to 75. This is a small shift, but it may signal the period during
which we could see another sunspot, April 16-27. Sunspot numbers for April 5 through 11 were 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 and 0 with, a
mean of 0. The 10.7 cm flux was 70.9, 71, 71.2, 71.1, 69.9, 69.4, and 69.1,
with a mean of 70.4. Estimated planetary A indices were 4, 4, 3, 3, 9, 7 and
4, with a mean of 4.9. Estimated mid-latitude A indices were 3, 2, 2, 2, 8,
6 and 3, with a mean of 3.7.

Sunspot numbers for April 12 through 18 were 0, 0, 11, 0, 0, 12 and 11, with
a mean of 4.9. The 10.7 cm flux was 68.3, 68.3 68.2, 69.3, 69.3, 69.2, and
68.8, with a mean of 68.8. Estimated planetary A indices were 8, 2, 4, 4, 1,
8 and 9, with a mean of 5.1. Estimated mid-latitude A indices were 7, 1, 3,
2, 0, 6 and 6, with a mean of 3.6xcsddddd |

Space Weather Outlook
02 May – 28 May 2007
Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels.
No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels during
02 – 07 May.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels through 19 May. A recurrent
coronal hole high-speed stream is expected to disturb the field during 20 May. Unsettled to activelevels are expected during the disturbance. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected during 2l – 24
May. Another round of coronal hole effects is expected during 25 – 26 May with unsettled to minor
storm conditions expected. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected during 27 – 28 May.
