Issued: 9th June 2010, 1915 UTC by Propagation Service Center

Summary: Active region 11076 rotated of the sun's visible disk and region 11077 vanished. New region 11078 emerged in the sun's south-western quadrant and is developing rapidly. Another active region emerged just trailing 11078, and will be officially numbered 11079 later tonight. In the mean time several areas of activity are popping up.

The X-ray background radiation was at A9 level. Penticton solar flux at 1700 UTC measured 71.5, and is expected to remain around current levels and possibly increase as the new active regions develops. The geomagnetic field was at very quiet levels but expected to become active due to a coronal stream.

Propagation: conditions expected to deteriorate slightly in the next 24 hours.

>2000km is poor, band at relative normal levels with a quiet geomagnetic field, with propagation at lower and middle latitudes, and occasionally stretching out into higher latitudes in the southern hemisphere.

<2000km is good with very strong E-skip at lower, mid, and higher latitudes in the northern hemisphere. E-skip conditions peaking at local late morning and local late afternoon. Occasional weak to moderate E-skip expected in the southern hemisphere.
