Tom, you REALLY got me!! I am in the process of erecting 2 towers and 
my dipoles for 40-6M are lying on the ground. So, I have NO antennas at 
the moment. When I saw your posting, I thought "JUST my luck!!".
Payback are 'heck'...ha ha

A huge solar cycle 24 sunspot group has formed near E30N80 in the 
northern
hemisphere of the Sun. It has pushed the solar flux index up from 71 to 
155 and
6 meters is open globally via F2 layer propagation.

With a complex beta-gamma-delta magnetic configuration sunspot group 
#10115 has
the potential to release a huge X class solar flare with attendant HF 
radio
black outs, polar cap absorption and a geomagnetic storm reaching a Kp 
of 9,
extreme geomagnetic storming.

You can see the sunspot group at
