On January 14, 2005, there was a small solar flare that was located on the
solar central meridian. The associated plasma that was ejected, directed
squarely toward Earth, will arrive simultaneously with an already elevated
solar wind stream. It is expected that the geomagnetic activity
NW7US Propagation Update (15 January 2005 0840 UTC)
During the series of flares from solar sunspot region 0720, at 0614 UTC 15
January 2005, a strong solar flare and radio sweep event was observed.
This indicates a full-halo coronal mass ejection (one that is headed
directly toward Earth).
NW7US Propagation Update Bulletin 16-I-2005 0430 UTC
At the time of this bulletin, we've just witnessed another long-duration
flare. This is the strongest of the flares so far unleashed by active
sunspot region 720 (NOAA 10720). This flare was a major X2.6-class event
that peaked at 2302
I am receiving reports on Radio AU detected in North America. The solar
wind speed is elevated, and the interplantary magnetic field (IMF) is
oriented southward (negative Bz). I am anticipating the arrival of two
coronal mass ejections, and perhaps we have already seen the passage of

Energetic Ion Enhancement Event ( see
http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2004/2003JA010044.shtml )
At 0640 UTC 17-I-2005, ACE detected a proton flux exceeding 1.0e+05 p/cm2
- which simply indicates the probable arrival of the plasma cloud expected
from the flare events reported earlier. It
In addition to the Energetic Ion Enhancement Event of 0640 UTC 17-I-2005
(see my last update), a moderate shock has been detected in the solar wind
speed at 0716 UTC, 17-I-2005. The plasma density change was 3.4 part/cc,
with an increase in speed of 78 km/s, and a temperature increase of
Hello, fellow SWL'er and potential Amateur Radio Operator:
I'm letting this list know about some additions to my website
( http://hfradio.org/ ). These new pages contain information that many
radio operators will find useful (based on the feedback I have gotten from
this material when the
