CQ CQ CONTEST


WWW
« on: October 23, 2014, 07:17:39 PM »

A series of large solar flares erupted this week. The most powerful was an X1.6 flare on October 22. The sunspot is now directly facing Earth.
The predicted solar flux for this weekend is 220, higher than on any day since January 7. Prior to that, we didn't see solar flux values this high since late October 2003. Accompanying the high solar flux back then was a great deal of geomagnetic activity.


But, WAIT, there's more:
The CQ World Wide DX Phone Contest is this weekend:

Rub elbows with all the contesters in places on the band where we normally operate AM.
