[OKDXA] Dalton or Maunder Minimum

[N5PA]

Guys:

 

Just hope that we do not have another Dalton or Maunder Minimum.  The
Maunder minimum is the name given to a period of extreme solar inactivity
that occurred between 1645 and 1710.  The Dalton Minimum was a period of low
solar activity lasting from about 1790 to 1830.  It is also interesting that
during both these periods there was a time of global cooling and a "Mini Ice
Age".  I was informed by N5OHL that we had one sunspot appear today.
