Another Day With No Sunspots

We must really be at the bottom of the 11-year sunspot cycle now. We've had a run of days with no or very few sunspots.  

Long distance radio reception and propagation is terrible, because sunspots direct a flow of ions toward the Earth (solar wind) that feeds the ionosphere that makes skip wave transmissions possible.

Check spaceweather.com for more information and great images.

Go ahead, make a comment. Include you're email address (*required*). But it won't show up immediately. Be patient, I have to read them all first. Also, your comment text cannot include a URL. If it does it will be junked automatically. This is the only way I can fight spam. Do put your home page URL in the URL field provided below, but NOT in the text of the comment.
