SUDDENLY, LOTS OF SUNSPOTS: The sun is experiencing a surge of sunspot formation. In the past 24 hours, a train of dark cores stretching more than 350,000 km has emerged in the sun's southern hemisphere. The new spots are growing rapidly and crackling with C-class solar flares. Watch the movie @ Spaceweather.com.
It was very good for awhile there. The solar flux was over 120 and every band was busy. It may have dropped off now but really looking forward to the next burst. Onwards and upwards it's only going to get better. The world becomes a smaller place and more accessible to those without directional antennas and high power outputs. Love that DX !
