The wait is over.Yesterday, a magnetically reversed sunspot emerged at solar latitude 30 N. For reasons explained in a recent [EMAIL PROTECTED] story, this marks the beginning of Solar Cycle 24 and the first step toward a new solar maximum. Intense solar activity won't begin right away. Solar cycles usually take a few years to build from solar minimum (where we are now) to Solar Max (expected in 2011 or 2012). It's a slow journey, but we're on our way! Good DX is on the way now!
