Sunspots - Friday April 19th

Solar flux is 227 and the SSN 247.  A=4 and K=2.  

Are we seeing a second peak?

Sunspots - Wednesday April 17th

 Solar flux is 199 and the SSN 176. A=31 and K=1.

Sunspots - Thursday April 11th

Solar flux is 131 and the SSN 54. A=8 and K=2. 

Sunspots - Wednesday April 10th

 Solar flux is 124 and the SSN 64. A=11 and K=1.

Sunspots - Tuesday April 9th

 Solar flux is 125 and the SSN 79. A=8 and K=2.

At the moment, it looks like numbers are declining. Will we have a second peak?

Sunspots - Sunday April 7th

 Solar flux is 123 and the SSN 71. A=10 and K=2.

Sunspots - Friday April 5th

 Solar  flux is 114 and the SSN 47.  A=12 and K=2.

Sunspots - Thursday April 4th

 Solar flux is 112 and the SSN 45.  A=7 and K=1.

Sunspots - Wednesday April 3rd

 Solar flux is 113 and the SSN 35. A=8 and K=1.

Sunspots declining?

 Sometimes we see a second peak that can be higher than the first, but at the moment it looks like we are on the downward slopes of solar cycle 25. My favourite site for solar data has just been updated.

Conditions should still be good for several years yet.

Sunspots - Monday April 1st

Solar flux is 134 and the SSN 50.  A=8 and K=2.

SSN 50? - not too promising?  I can remember day after day with SSN=0 and there was still plenty of N-S DX on 10m. With FT8 now, QSOs should be even easier. I worked LU with QRP SSB at the bottom of a solar cycle with just a low dipole. Never give up on the higher HF bands!
