Red River Valley Amateur Radio Club
Amateur Radio in and around the Red River Valley Area of Northeast Texas
All,
This story – NASA Warns Solar Storm May Hit Earth Tomorrow As Sunspots Increase Tenfold – came out yesterday, so Friday, November 24. I thought that lines up with what I was seeing on the Solar-Terrestrial HF conditions sticker on the site, and so I thought it might interest some in our group.

I consider Dr. Skov one of the best persons to present to us what the Sun is doing and How it will affect us
Because she does so in clear easy to understand language, without Hype.
She is not only a PHD she is also an Amateur Radio OP
I have seen her speak in person Twice
Her You Tube videos are worth a look, a Link below is to a recent one about this weeks Sun Activity

I hope you find the info worth your time.
And while we are under a Geomagnetic Storm right now with Minor Radio Blackouts
15m is crazy active in the CW portion of the band and the other 5 Contest bands are also pretty active
When the Sun is active yes we have lots of SunSpots and it is exciting on the air waves
However, just like Spring Time in Texas is Fun, we also get Storms 🙂

Cheers!
