[HCARC] Solar Activity

[Kerry Sandstrom]

Over the last couple days another good size sunspot group came over the 
sun's limb.  I think I see another large group about to also come over 
the limb.  The solar flux got down to 129 after several days in the 
170's and 160's.  A couple pretty good groups went over the sun's limb 
and another one is going to soon and that's why the flux has dropped.  
With the new groups, the solar flux should be going up again.  But, 129 
is still good enough to give some good propagation on the higher bands.  
The solar flux is already climbing into the mid 130's.
