Title: Re: zero spots today & flare info/ copy from spacewx.com Post by: KB2WIG on April 21, 2010, 11:39:58 AM My wife watched a program r/e Nostradamus, the Myans and 2012, on the History Channel. After a good hour explaining that the world wasn't going to end in 2012 (them Myans diden't even have wheels)... now the Sunspots not coming out and that Muldaur chick.
Sunspots cast a glare in my eyes. Sometimes, I forget I'm alive. I feel it coming and I've gotta get out of its way, I hear it calling and I come 'cause I can't disobey - I should not listen and I shouldn't believe but I do, yes I do. She turns me on, she makes it real. I have to apologize for the way I feel.

Lack of sunspots doesn't mean you can't work DX. Lots of other propagation don't rely on sunspot activity.
