Great report, as always. And even a little hope for better DX conditions. Tamitha does a really nice job, and the visuals are magnificent. Thanks again!

Sunspot AR2773 is a member of new Solar Cycle 25. It might be shortlived. The dark cores of this sunspot are small and some are fading. Sunspot number: 13 Spotless Days 2020 total: 189 days (71%) 2019 total: 281 days (77%) The massive coronal holes and subsequent geomagnetic disturbances will combine with the weak sunpots to make communications... about the same. https://spaceweather.com/images2020/24sep20/coronalhole_sdo_blank.jpg
Experts everywhere Predict a Long, Deep Solar Minimum. stretching right out to 2050. I predict however a very sharp-upturn in Sunspot activity, after I get my YA-30 T2FD up. Heaven knows I'm a slow-country-boy, as a Vietnam Medical-Corps Veteran once called me. All left to do is mount the already assembled pole on the base plate, guy it some, haul up the ant on the block n' tackle at the top; guy it some more & ensure I already connected the 40m of coax to it.
