"Big sunspot AR2738 is crackling with minor B-class solar flares"

SSN: 12
Solar flux: 79 (hey, at least it isn't 68)

Now to see if there's any increase in foF2 later today.

I believe that SHE said that we would.    http://www.spaceweatherwoman.com/      Ever check her out? How I know about her Sun Research is from Ham Nation. And she pretty much puts it near layman's terms.

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.
