5/5 2026-06-16 GDNW Weekly #2026-W24 GREEN
=== GDNW WEEKLY === 2026-06-16 === #2026-W24 ===
NCS: HB9HJU | https://aro.travel/gdnw
[1] HF OUTLOOK (Score: 5/5, Excellent)
SFI:117 | Kp:1.3 | A:5
Band Matrix: 10m POOR | 15m FAIR | 20m GOOD | 40m GOOD | 80m GOOD
Best bets: 20m, 40m, 80m looking strong this week
[2] TOP STORY
Quiet week after a noisy start. SWPC's G3 watch for 08 June was
cancelled the same day when the 06 June CME under-delivered, and
conditions stayed calm until a G1 alert on 11 June. SFI held near
117 with Kp 1-2 most of the week, giving solid 20m/40m/80m DX
windows. A glancing blow from the 12 June CME may lift Kp to 4
around 16 June, worth monitoring for low-band openings.

- Technician class question pool transitions 01 July. The current pool expires 30 June, so new tech candidates should sit the exam this week or wait for the new pool.
