We have a sunspot
« on: April 09, 2019, 1006 UTC »
"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.
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
