on 07-Jul eventuates. MUFs near predicted monthly 
values on other days.

Propagation conditions: Fair during local night on 7-8 Jul. 
Otherwise normal. Isolated minor SWFs possible.

13-14 Jul, 8-10 Aug.

PLEASE NOTE:
Space weather conditions can frequently be determined by short 
timescale events that cannot be forecast a week in advance,
particularly at solar maximum.
