Thanks for stopping by. This is where I publish a lot of my features and thoughts on HF propagation, antennas and other ham radio topics. I write for a number of radio magazines, including the RSGB's RadCom and ARRL's QST. I am also chairman of the RSGB's Propagation Studies Committee and produce the weekly HF propagation report for GB2RS. When not playing radio I'm a professional journalist specialising in aerospace, science and technology and am also author of four RSGB books.

UK propagation charts for December 2011
We are heading into the winter season now, but the conditions remain just as good. Don't be surprised if conditions to North America are not quite so hot on the higher bands in December - this is fairly normal as a comparison of the charts for October, November and December will show.
Propagation on 10m tends to close before the band has a chance to work west across the US.
The low bands (160m, 80m and 40m) come into their own with the longer hours of darkness so make sure you give them a look.
