"Squishy" the sunspot
« on: December 10, 2009, 2343 UTC »
This is what happens when DXers have too few sunspots and too much free time.

12/10/09 - Squishy the sunspot appears on #pirateradio...

<RAdioTrueNorth> http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~obs/images/cur_drw.jpg
<RAdioTrueNorth> Looks like we have a small sunspot...
<RAdioTrueNorth> It would be nice if it grows
***Fansome_ has joined #pirateradio
<Lex> aww, a cute li'l sunspot
<Lex> let's call it... squishy
<riel> squishy just opened up 10m
<RAdioTrueNorth> lol
<ChrisSmol> squishy will be gone soon, i'm sure
<Lex> bad squishy!
<ChrisSmol> 5 minute flux shows a bump
<ChrisSmol> maybe squishy had chili for lunch
===
<DimBulb> 6950u music
<ChrisSmol> got it
<ChrisSmol> is squishy gone?
<DimBulb> ?
<ChrisSmol> the teeny sunspotlet
<DimBulb> ha - i'm getting too used to ssn=0, here's my favorite info page, likely
 you've been there and done that: http://dx.qsl.net/propagation/
<DimBulb> nice jazzed up version of "misty"
<ChrisSmol> WEAK
<DimBulb> yes - not too strong but mostly above the noise, which seems pretty high
 tonight
<ChrisSmol> yeah, conditions seem less stable
<ChrisSmol> i blame squishy
<Lex> bad squishy
===
<RadioTrueNorth> looks like that new little sunpot is bubbling with activity
<textim> squishy lives?
<MrHellion> yes
<MrHellion> SSN: 13
===
<ChrisSmol> squishy is still there
<ChrisSmol> riel, we had a c flare
<riel> nice
<ChrisSmol> 1100z
<ChrisSmol> A C3.2 Solar flare took place early this morning around new Sunspot 1034.
 This would be the largest flare of Cycle 24 thus far.
<ChrisSmol> solar flux 82
<ChrisSmol> ahh, no
<ChrisSmol> that's the record flux, sorry
<Lex> c'mon, squishy, reproduce
<ChrisSmol> i still remember the X20 flare from the last cycle
<ChrisSmol> just had an A1.3 burp
===
***RAdioTrueNorth has joined #pirateradio
<RAdioTrueNorth> Hello everybody...
<Lex> hiya
<RAdioTrueNorth> how are conditions so far today?
<RAdioTrueNorth> Looks like squishy had a bit of a burp last night
<RAdioTrueNorth> Hopefully that will bring the solar flux up a little more
===
<RAdioTrueNorth> well if things go well maybe you might hear me one of these days
<Lex> yup, things will get better, as soon as squishy gets some new friends
<ChrisSmol> squishy's had a few burps today, i see
<Lex> is that a good thing?
<Lex> don't want a colicky squishy
<RAdioTrueNorth> As long as it doesnt make any geomagnetic storms we are ok
<RAdioTrueNorth> But if the solar flux keeps going up thats a good thing
===
<RAdioTrueNorth> I see they upped the solar flux forcast from 75 to 77
<RAdioTrueNorth> thanks to squishy
