They're scaling back on the prediction for the peak of the coming solar cycle (now predicted to be May 2013 and the weakest in 80 years) :
>http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SolarCycle/index.html The predicted solar flux graph on that page is spurious, as SF shouldn't go below 65, but apparently there's some program glitch in their conversion from sunspot number. Note how the smoothed Ap index is still dropping; if it hangs in until next fall, there should be some pretty good DX coming this way. best wishes Nick ***************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, BC Canada _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
