28 days in a row with no visible sunspots. Solar flux around 70.

No wonder propagation is non-existent!

MW is not benefitting, unfortunately. Oh well.

We actually have two small sunspot groups now, the solar flux is up to 77, and foF2 has been a little higher than previously, about 6 MHz vs 5 MHz.
