More sunspots? Loks like it.
« on: August 04, 2020, 1840 UTC »
A friend of mine alerted to spot from this site,   https://spaceweather.com/       I kind of dig-it. Almost, if not, layman's tern here.
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.

It's a good one. I've been checking it out since before I really got into SWL'ing but for more technical things I like the spotless day count since it shows percentages for the current and previous years, along with the current stretch of spotless days (if applicable). It's a bit more user friendly than the actual SWPC site (though that one has great charts which I peruse, especially the x-ray ones). (For those wanting that link, it's https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/)
