10 solar storms that blew us away in 2022 by Harry Baker Dec 26, 2022

"Solar storms are becoming more frequent and powerful as the sun nears
the peak of its 11-year solar activity cycle, which will occur in 2025.

As a result, 2022 delivered an abundance of fascinating solar storm
stories. From surprise storms and massive sunspots to vibrant aurora
explosions and other weird phenomena, here are some of our favorites."


Happy New Year to all our eHam.Net Family and friends.
Stay safe and be well.

Why live in the past?  A "Top Ten"  list is in the past.  Go to www.spaceweather.com (among others) for "Real-Time" information!
How about the "X-class" storms so far in 2023?

That is what hams do, stuck in the 60's. Hams are like Kodak, Xerox, BASF, and Sear's, they all failed to keep up with technology.

Isn't that a bit of a stretch? to say that we are coming close to the peak of an eleven year cycle.
It seems to me that propagation numbers only started trending up a year ago,??

When I switch on my SW receiver (or MW receiver, for that matter) it doesn't seem as if we are anywhere close to a Solar peak yet.
