๐Ÿ“‹ Propagation Summary: HF propagation is currently moderate to good on the higher bands, with solar flux at 146 and a sunspot number of 123 supporting reliable daytime operation on 20m, 17m, and 15m. The K-index is at 3, indicating only slightly unsettled geomagnetic conditions, so most HF bands remain usable, though some minor fading or noise may occur, especially at higher latitudes. 10m and 12m are fair during the day but weaken at night, while 80m and 40m are best after dark. Operators should expect solid regional and some DX opportunities on the upper bands, with lower bands favoring local and NVIS contacts at night.
