[DX-CHAT] What to do?
Should I take my antennas down or put more up? Bill W5EC Massive solar storm to hit Earth in 2012 with 'force of 100m bombs' Astronomers are predicting that a massive solar storm, much bigger in potential than the one that caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier this month, is to strike our planet in 2012 with a force of 100 million hydrogen bombs. Several US media outlets have reported that NASA was warning the massive flare this month was just a precursor to a massive solar storm building that had the potential to wipe out the entire planet's power grid. --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

RE: [DX-CHAT] What to do?
The bloke at NASA issuing all the warnings isn't called Dr Nostradamus by any chance? I'd put up lots of vhf antennas. 2 meters DXCC perhaps? I have my own diesel generator so they can do what they like to the grid :-) I think it's just a plot to distract us in 2012 so we forget what a bloody waste of money the London Olympics will be.

Re: [DX-CHAT] What to do?
There is a prediction in the latest issue of CQ Magazine that predicts the SFI won't get above 140 for this cycle. That means very little or no F2 propagation on 6 meters this cycle. I tend to believe that. It agrees with a prediction Carl K9LA made some months ago.

They can't even predict the sunspot cycle these days, so do you believe this expert Mark N1UK G3ZZM - Original Message - From: Dave White mausop...@btinternet.com To: bhw...@hughes.net; dx-chat@njdxa.org Sent: Monday, 30 August, 2010 9:50 AM Subject: RE: [DX-CHAT] What to do?

Not to worry. A Massive Solar Storm Czar has just been appointed , and with a budget of 400b$ is about to launch a comprehensive study.

Re: [DX-CHAT] What to do?
Please tell me this isn't a serious thread. Maybe it's just something to keep our minds on DX while Cycle 24 warms up (if it ever does)... I should live long enough to see major DX like Cycle 23 in the late 90s and early 2000's using a tin can on a wet string on 10m. 73 de Fred K2FRD, VO2FS At 7:04 PM -0400 30/8/10, leewi...@aol.com wrote: What specific date Have a GREAT day...and keep laughing!
