CYCLE 24 Spot!(?)	Reply

SURE Looks like it! (Top left on the latest pics at the cycle24 website, which is www.solarcycle24.com) Maybe my prayers and/or the Sundancers are getting it done. This one is Not one of the 3 that are rotating (hopefully) around the farside. They were all cycle 23 spots, below the equator. This one is up top and pretty. It needs to grow a bit for an official sunspot designation, but it's certainly there! Hopefully, it will have some brothers tagging along and they can bump up the flux a bit. 73, Gene AF3Y

It surely can only get better now. I'd like a few pock marks on old Sol for the Glorioso DX-pedition . . . .

In all seriousness, though, it is very sad and annoying that people are so desparate for DX that you see more state side stations spotted on the dx clusters than you do dx stations! I sincerely hope that this zit on the sun signifies a progression toward a major breakout. Along with this lousy cold weather, these lousy conditions on the bands have become quite old.

"It's still gonna be a couple of years folks; don't get too excited yet." Flux got up to high 80s a couple weeks back and there was all kinds of DX on the higher bands. It will be a couple of years before I can work VU's on 15m all morning, but things will get better on the high bands soon after we start getting some spots. Don't rain on our sunspots Phil. Dan

I actually heard a pile-up yesterday afternoon for a station in Maryland (where I live)!! A W3 station!..(and I saw it on the DX Cluster!) I had to look the call up as I couldn't believe it! Mostly, it was stateside stations that were calling ! The St Croix station was commenting about his huge pile-up on 20M yesterday, and how a guy (from stateside) asked if he could call back later, after he swapped antennas, to see if there was a signal difference..LOL! The St Croix station, was on 40M yesterday evening too..+20 & more signal here! Tom N3ZC

"It's still gonna be a couple of years folks; don't get too excited yet." If the flux gets to 80, I'll be excited. 90 - I might faint. Kevin
