[South Florida DX Association] [KN4LF Propagation] Low Solar Flux levels

[Bill Marx]

Just an FYI! On Sunday 06/08/2008 the three solar flux values measured at
Pentiction, BC, Canada were 64.8 64.9 64.9. The 64.8 value is the second
lowest of the current solar minimum. The lowest SFI of 64.4 occurred on
09/28/2007.

Using the smoothed sunspot number solar cycle 23 minimum was in October 2007
with a value of 3.0. Looking at the values below you can see that solar
cycle 24 has pretty much stalled since December 2007.

October 2007- 3.0
November 2007- 6.9
December 2007-  8.1
January 2008-  8.5
February 2008-  8.4
March 2008-  8.4
April 2008-  8.9
