Current Sun Activity

Sunspot 1040 is just about to set over the Sun's right horizon. It's been a decent sunspot and spiked some propagation on 10 meters earlier this week.

The good news is there is another sunspot just about to rise over the Sun's left horizon and should continue to provide communications during the upcoming week.

To see the animated image take a look at the STEREO web page.

Biggest Sunspot of 2010

Currently the biggest sunspot of 2010 and probably for the last several years is floating across the surface of the sun yielding a solar flux index of 90. It was as high as 94 earlier in the week.

I was looking on my spot collector and noticed 10m had opened up for a short periods during the week. Lets hope conditions remain through the weekend so I can give it a shot.
