Listeners”


Published on Friday April 27, 2012 at 0000 UTC

Valid 0000 UTC Saturday April 28, 2012 through 2359 UTC Friday May 04, 2012



1.) GLOBAL MEDIUM FREQUENCY (300-3000 KC) PROPAGATION CONDITIONS EXPECTED 
WITH AN EMPHASIS ON 600 METERS, THE MF AM BROADCAST BAND AND 160 METERS-

Note! This forecast is based upon quiet solar, space and geomagnetic weather 
conditions. Geomagnetic storming Kp-5> and energetic proton storms >10 MeV 
(10+0) can at times render the forecast temporarily inaccurate.

Note! I use error prone RAW public domain data from the NOAA Space 
Environment Center, as well as other U.S. government organizations, to 
produce my propagation forecasts. This data is gathered and made public by 
the U.S. Government using taxpayer $$$. However the propagation forecast 
that I produce from the RAW public domain data is my personal intellectual 
property. Therefore this propagation forecast contained herein is 
copyrighted © 1988-2012 by Thomas F. Giella, NZ4O. Reproduction of and 
distribution of the propagation forecast herein is allowed without advanced 
permission as long as proper credit is given.

Also space weather forecasting is still an inexact science. The forecasts 
are not official but for hobby related purposes only and are subject to 
human error and acts of God, therefore no guarantee or warranty implied.
