In the case of some packet radio TNC's recieving is at HF and transmissions are on VHF. Transmissions on VHF using voice and recieving on VLF is perposterous as put by Bob Norman, the Mayor of East Haven, CT. It is not something that is specifically in any license, but is not specificaly excluded.

Average solar flux for the week was down about six points from the previous week's average. Geomagnetic conditions were mostly quiet until February 11 and 12, when the planetary K index went as high as four and the high-latitude K index went to six. This was probably due to a small coronal hole in the southwest quadrant of the solar disk. The recent 27 day projection by the NOAA Space Environment Center forecasted continued solar flux values in the low to mid-eighties, rising to 90 around February 22 and 23. But it is now evident that a new active region has rotated into view. Solar flux jumped from 86.2 to 90.6 from Wednesday to Thursday, and for Friday through Sunday the projected solar flux is around 94. Given the progress of this young solar cycle compared to previous ones, we can only hope that shortly we will see a jump in solar activity. Cary Oler of Solar Terrestrial Dispatch (on the Web at http://holly.cc.uleth.ca/solar/index.html) predicts a surge in solar activity over the next few months, with a vigorous and energetic upswing in solar indices corresponding to the beginning of accelerated sunspot growth. He thinks we may see solar flux values around 120 in the next two or three months. Conditions should be good for the RTTY contest this weekend. With higher solar flux look for more daylight openings on 15 meters. Sunspot Numbers for February 5 through 11 were 40, 41, 27, 37, 34, 62 and 63 with a mean of 43.4. 10.7 cm flux was 85.5, 84.2, 83.1, 83.6, 83.7, 83.7 and 86.2, with a mean of 84.3, and estimated planetary A indices were 3, 3, 3, 7, 8, 8, and 13, with a mean of 6.4.

My Question about CW endorsement is Valid Joe, it indicates to me if you have any REAL knowledge gained from experience of working the shared bands in difficult conditions or if you were just shooting from the hip. The person you replied to also has a valid point about interference, and being the first to occupy a specific frequency, do you think International Broadcasters care about your legal use of the frequency they want to use? I routinely hear our good Brother Stair on 7.335 Mhz, CHU be damned! Please do not think me unkind in my CW question, it was not my intent to insult you, I simply needed to know your experience and pedigree. Allow me to suggest to you that you upgrade your certificate to a Class that will permit you to experience first hand all facets and aspects of HF operation (Including the frustrations!) that experienced HF operators/dxers deal with.
