[SEDXC] New Cycle Begins!

[John Harden, D.M.D.]

I remember the cycle of the late 1950's. K4TEA remembers it, too as this
is when we met as teenagers. We both had beams even then and ran a
couple of hundred watts. 

THE PROPAGATION WAS LITERALLY AWESOME...10 & 15 were open way into the
night!!! Let's hope for another one like this.

73,

John, W4NU

Gang,
 
As of yesterday (Aug 15th) a physicist with Marshall Space Flight in 
Huntsville (NASA) announced  that a rare occurance has happened. On July
31st The sun 
gave birth to a single  sunspot, but this was no ordinary sunspot, it
was a 
backwards one. Backwards  sunspots only occurs just before a really
large 
sunspot cycle. So scientists  believe that this activity is indicating
that the next 
cycle will indeed be a  large one. They also say that the backwards
sunspot 
is the beginning of a new  cycle, so if that is the case, as of July
31st we're 
now in Cycle 24.
