Anyone planning to go out in North (GW/NW) or Mid Wales (GW/MW) in the next few days would be well advised to consult the Wales Rally GB website. LOTS of roads around forestry areas will be clogged with traffic and some will be closed completely making access to some of the less frequented summits almost impossible.
Lurk away Dave Quite a few of us activating The Wrekin on Saturday morning…expect to work quite a few of us on 60m as I don’t think we’ll be venturing any higher on HF…we’ll see…2m/70cms/23cms also in use.
Yes, I noticed that Allan. I hope to be listening and I’m sure quite a few of the WAB lads will as well, as it doesn’t bode well for a 40m net, especially with the current band conditions.

Flare & Solar Radiation Storm Outlook: Flare risk zilch. Good for #GPS operators. Solar flux reaching critical lows so #hamradio suffers.
Hi Glyn, I was searching for this report on Spaceweather.com and couldn’t find it, it seems I should have been looking at spaceweather.tv, so thanks for posting.
Do we have any predictions for the K Index over the next few days, as when that is over 3, the noise floor is a real killer.

Further Info - looks like Twitter is the only source:
This is what you get if you go to spaceweather.tv -

Space Weather TV is under re-construction as new volunteers have taken over the project for Dr. Tamitha Skov.
Please follow her on Twitter for the latest updates, space weather events and forecast as we take time to redesign and rebuild her website.
Looking at today - the values DID work like that, but point taken, it can be completely different tomorrow. As my activation is simply to test some new antennas out, I have the flexibility of when I can go and as it looks at the moment both space weather and normal weather will be better in the afternoon.
