While the majority of the flaring act= ivity this period came from 4478, Region 4475 also produced several small C= -flares as additional trailing spots began to emerge.=20 =C2=A0 Regions 4472 and 4473 continued to decay throughout the period. Region 4479= was numbered this period. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in availabl= e coronagraph imagery. =C2=A0 Solar activity is expected to continue at predominately low levels on June = 25 -27 with a high chance for M-flares (R1-R2/minor-moderate) and a slight = chance for X-flares (R3/strong), primarily due to the potential of Region 4= 478. =C2=A0 Solar wind parameters were elevated this period from a mix of negative pola= rity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) onset and minor magnetic trans= ient influences.=20 =C2=A0 The solar wind speed began the period averaging 350 km/s, then increased sh= arply on June 24 to ~450 km/s. This was followed by another notable jump in= speed, also beginning June 24, ending the reporting period at approximatel= y 600 km/s. Phi was predominantly negative (towards the Sun) but did have a= n hour-long positive interval late on June 24.

On November 10, 1928, permission was granted to organize the club and on Ma= rch 20, 1930, the club received the call sign of W3ADO. </p> <p style=3D"color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Regular', Calibri, sans-s= erif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; margin-botto= m: 0; margin-top: 0; text-align: left;"> &nbsp; </p> </span></td></tr></table><table width=3D"100%" class=3D"image A8AEEA2F9-892= 0-8F4D-B6DC-20A3DEB203C7" cellpadding=3D"0" cellspacing=3D"0" style=3D"bord= er: none; border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspac= e: 0pt;"> <tr> <td style=3D"line-height:1px; text-align: center;" align=3D"center"> <a href=3D"https://arrl.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0zNjY0NDY5JnA9MSZ1PTUyMDUyO= TcyNSZsaT00MzU0MTM3MQ/index.html" target=3D"_blank" data-informz-link=3D"tr= ue" data-informz-link-name data-informz-do-not-track=3D"false" style=3D"col= or: #0000ee; font-weight: inherit; text-decoration: none;"> <img alt src=3D"https://arrl.informz.net/arrl/data/images/Untitled%20(1).gi= f?cb=3D898607" border=3D"0" height=3D"77" width=3D"620" align=3D"center" st= yle=3D"height: auto !important; margin: 0; max-width: 100% !important; text= -align: center; width: auto !important;" class=3D"img "> </a></td></tr> <tr> <td></td></tr></table> <table width=3D"100%" class=3D"text A99CAEB3D-DA68-79D1-0778-F809C56668E9" = cellpadding=3D"0" cellspacing=3D"0" style=3D"border: none; border-collapse:= collapse; mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspace: 0pt;"> <tr> <td align=3D"left" bgcolor=3D"#ffffff" style> <p style=3D"color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Regular', Calibri, sans-s= erif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px; margin-botto= m: 0; margin-top: 0; text-align: left;">&nbsp; </p></td></tr></table> <table width=3D"100%" class=3D"text ACB73C4CA-0961-A108-4FE0-12DD4133F5AC" = cellpadding=3D"0" cellspacing=3D"0" style=3D"border: none; border-collapse:= collapse; mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspace: 0pt;"> <tr> <td align=3D"left" bgcolor=3D"#ffffff" style> <p style=3D"color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Regular', Calibri, sans-s= erif; font-size: 17px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bot= tom: 0; margin-top: 0; text-align: left;"> <strong>Open Positions at ARRL</strong></p> <p style=3D"color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Regular', Calibri, sans-s= erif; font-size: 17px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bot= tom: 0; margin-top: 0; text-align: left;"> Come join the headquarters staff of ARRL The National Association for Amate= ur Radio<sup>=C2=AE</sup>!
