Last week changes in averages of daily sunspot numbers and solar
flux were mixed, not illustrating any particular trend.  Average
daily sunspot numbers went from 29.1 to 33.6, and average daily
solar flux decreased from 88.3 to 83.8, compared to the previous
seven days.  Geomagnetic indices quieted, with the average daily
planetary A index dropping from 11.1 to 7 and average mid latitude A
index going from 10.6 to 6.9.  The forecast from USAF and NOAA has
predicted solar flux at 80 on June 24, 85 on June 25 to 30, 80 on
July 1 to 5, 85 on July 6 and 7, 88 on July 8, 90 on July 9 to 14,
85 on July 15 to 18, 80 on July 19, 75 on July 20 to 23, 80 on July
24, and 85 on July 25 to 28.  They also predict planetary A index at
8, 12, and 8 on June 24 to 26, 5 on June 27 to 30, then 8, 25, 20
and 8 on July 1 to 4, 5 on July 5 and 6, 8 on July 7, 10 on July 8
and 9, then 8, 20, 15 and 5 on July 10 to 13, 8 on July 14 and 15, 5
on July 16 to 19, then 8, 12, 8, 12 and 10 on July 20 to 24, then 5
on July 25 to 28 and 25, 20 and 8 on July 29 to 31.  From F.K.
Janda, OK1HH.  The geomagnetic activity forecast for the period June
24 to 19, 2016.  The geomagnetic field will be, Quiet on June 29 and
30, July 1, 16 and 17 Mostly quiet on June 28, July 6, 10, 13 to 15,
Quiet to unsettled on June 25 to 27, July 2, 5, 18 Quiet to active
on June 24, July 4, 7 to 9, 12, 19 Active to disturbed on July 3,
11, 19 Increased solar wind from coronal holes are expected on July
2 and 3, 6 and 7, and 16.  Monthly propagation charts between four
USA regions and twelve overseas can be found on the W1AW web site.
Find more good information and tutorials on propagation on the k9la
web site.  Sunspot numbers were 26, 36, 46, 48, 35, 22, and 22, with
a mean of 33.6. 10.7 cm flux was 88.2, 86.6, 83.6, 85.2, 84.3, 80.2,
and 78.3, with a mean of 83.8. Estimated planetary A indices were 6,
8, 8, 5, 4, 4, and 14, with a mean of 7. Estimated mid latitude A
indices were 5, 7, 10, 5, 4, 3, and 14 with a mean of 6.9.  We are
eagerly waiting for your reception report of the CW beacon at
437.025 MHz. You can also get the decoded beacon data by entering
beacon in Swayam beacon signal decoder available on our website,
said Rupesh Lad, VU2LRD/VU2COE of the College of Engineering Pune
CSAT team.  Swayam 1 is in a low Earth polar orbit. It operates on
437.025 MHz with a power output of 1 W.  Other satellites on the
launch that carried Amateur Radio payloads include BEESAT 4, BIROS,
Max Valier, and Sathyabamasat.
