You are cherry picking and everyone with a brain knows it. There are magnetic anomaly's far beyond the south Atlantic anomaly and I mentioned them in my response. But please stick to your guns. Time will show who the fool is. All anyone knows is there are changes occurring more rapidly than before and we have only recently begun record keeping (200 years) Beyond that only core samples give us an indication on what is occurring. Scientists know we are overdue for a reversal in the geologic record. What we do know is these changes are seriously affecting other things such as weather patterns and the increase in cosmic radiation. As far as the south Atlantic anomaly it recently has split besides its increase in movement. There is a full measure of articles relating to that from Nasa, The ESA and mainstream science. Some will pay attention, others will ignore it then there is the worst animal of all who tries to dissuade others from doing their own homework. https://www.ozy.com/around-the-world/why-the-north-pole-is-moving-faster-than-ever/256395/ https://www.space.com/earth-magnetic-field-dent-anomaly.html https://www.esa.int/Applications/Ob...rm_probes_weakening_of_Earth_s_magnetic_field
Solar flux index has exceeded 100 for the first time this cycle! Everybody has to take a drink now! --scott
Time to crank up the beacons worldwide on 10 meters! Some sigs are bound to breakthrough as we listen. Looking to get a 10 meter low power CW Xmitter if someone has one? Best DX! John WB4JHS 321 229 6527
It's been at 101 already before in this cycle. Then sputtered back down to the 70's again for months. It's just like an engine not quite being able to start. Let's hope this holds. It's already down to 99 today. "A" index is also still too high.
Can you imagine how important amateur radio would become if a solar flare toasted EVERY satellite? I should probably clarify TWO THIRDS because I suspect that those satellites on the dark side of the earth would be protected. But golly, can you imagine that they all cease working in a blink of an eye? I suppose we might have a day or so to prepare.....
Get on the air and make some contacts. 15 has had some life the past few weeks 73 from, The K0UO " Rhombic Antenna Farm" 2 miles of wire in the Air & On the daily
As a amateur radio I prefer to remain useless than to witness the chaos and scenes of hysteria. There is already too much madness.
And now sunspots are back to 0 again, SFI back down to 75. It's been like this since 2019. Starts and sputters. It seems the peak might really be in 2025 as guesstimated several times during the past years
