The following is the weekly propagation bulletin from W1AW / ARRL (posting on 20190503 19:07 UTC):

QST de W1AW Propagation Forecast Bulletin 18 ARLP018 >From Tad Cook, K7RA Seattle, WA May 3, 2019 To all radio amateurs

SB PROP ARL ARLP018 ARLP018 Propagation de K7RA

No sunspots were visible over the recent reporting week (April 25 through May 1), and so the average daily sunspot number dropped to 0 after 8.1 during the previous seven days. Average daily solar flux declined from 70.6 to 67.5. Geomagnetic indicators were quiet, with average planetary A index at 5.9, up from 4.7 in the previous week.

The predicted solar flux is 72 on May 3-5, 75 on May 6-9, 78 on May 10-16, then 76, 72 and 70 on May 17-19, 69 on May 20-21, 68 on May 22, 67 on May 23 through June 2, 70 and 75 on June 3-4, 78 on June 5-12, then 76, 72, 70 and 69 on June 13-16.

The predicted planetary A index is 5 on May 4-9, 8 on May 10, 5 on May 11-19, 8 on May 20, 5 on May 21-26, then 10, 14, 12, 8 and 5 on May 27-31, then 10, 12 and 14 on June 1-3, 8 on June 4-6, and 5 on June 7-15, then 8 on June 16.
