.....Nice writeup, but you neglected to mention that none of the 3 sunspot 
groups
that appeared this week are associated with Solar Cycle 24. Isn't that 
leaving
out an important piece of information for your readers?.....

KN4LF Says:

Unfortunately the three new sunspot groups are from solar cycle 23. Since 
January 1, 2008 we have seen eleven sunspot groups. Of those eleven ten are 
solar cycle 23 sunspot groups, not a good statistic for those that are 
hoping for a rapid rise in solar cycle 24 activity.

It's good to see some activity occur though. The increase in sunspots really 
improved propagation conditions on 17 and 15 meters yesterday.
