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.
“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.

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/)
