[digitalradio] New Solar Cycle 24 Sunspot Group

A new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged early this morning. It is located
near S27E26 and appears to have a simple beta magnetic signature. If and
when it's numbered by NOAA/SWPC it will be #11040.

If numbered then the month of December has seen seven solar cycle 24 sunspot
groups emerge. And of course that is a new record for solar cycle 24.

The solar flux index values for December 23rd were 80.7 78.4 76.8 and the
sunspot number 23.

[digitalradio] New Solar Cycle 24 Sunspot Group

2009-11-21 Thread Thomas F. Giella NZ4O
Posted Friday November 20, 2009 at http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o4.htm

Yesterday evening another new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged in the NE 
quadrant of the Sun in between sunspot group #11032 and #11033. If numbered 
by NOAA/SWPC it will be #11034 and SIDC Belgium Catania #32.

The NOAA/SWPC sunspot number is 30 (tied for the highest so far for solar 
cycle 24) and the SIDC Belgium sunspot number is 26. The solar flux index 
(SFI) is 78.0.

The new sunspot groups could push the SFI above 80 in coming days. This 
would raise the maximum usable frequency (MUF) of the F layer high enough to 
improve propagation conditions on 20, 17 and 15 meters.

Solar cycle 24 continues to ramp up this month. As Paul McCartney once sang, 
Coming up.

[digitalradio] New Solar Cycle 24 Sunspot Group

2009-11-19 Thread Thomas F. Giella NZ4O
Posted Thursday November 19, 2009 at http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o4.htm

The cycle 24 sunspot group that I mentioned on November 18, 2009  has been 
numbered 11033 by the NOAA/SWPC. It is located near N17E20 and contains a 
beta magnetic signature capable of producing very small B class solar 
flares. As mentioned yesterday SIDC Belgium assigned it Catania #28.

The old solar cycle 24 sunspot group #11029 has produced new sunspots and 
has been re-numbered 11033 by NOAA/SWPC. SIDC Belgium has given the sunspot 
group Catania 30. It is located near N21E47 and contains a beta magnetic 
signature capable of producing very small B class solar flares.

The NOAA/SWPC sunspot number is 29 (the second highest so far for solar 
cycle 24) and the SIDC Belgium sunspot number is 30. The solar flux index 
(SFI) is 77.4.

The new sunspot groups could push the SFI above 80 in coming days. This 
would raise the maximum usable frequency (MUF) of the F layer high enough to 
improve propagation conditions on 20, 17 and 15 meters.

Solar cycle 24 continues to ramp up this month!

[digitalradio] New Solar Cycle 24 Sunspot Group

Posted Wednesday November 18, 2009 at http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o4.htm
Yesterday evening a new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged in the NE 
quadrant of the Sun near N19E68. SIDC Belgium assigned it Catania #28. If 
numbered by NOAA/SWPC it will be 11032.

The sunspot group currently contains a beta magnetic signature capable of 
producing very small B class solar flares. On November 17, 2009  at 1259 UTC 
the sunspot group produced a very small B1.5 solar flare.

Under the very old method of counting sunspots SIDC Belgium gave the sunspot 
group a number of 11. But in reality only one simple sunspot actually 
emerged.

[digitalradio] New Solar Cycle 24 Sunspot Group Forms

2009-11-14 Thread Thomas F. Giella NZ4O
Greetings from chilly Rochester, VT where I'm still on vacation.

Posted Saturday November 14, 2009 at http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o4.htm
Yesterday a new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged in the SW quadrant of 
the Sun near S27W53. It currently contains a beta magnetic signature capable 
of producing very small B class solar flares.

It remains to be seen if NOAA/SWPC will assign it #11031 before it fades or 
sets around the west limb of the Sun. Solar cycle 24 continues to slowly but 
steadily become more active.

[digitalradio] New Solar Cycle 24 Sunspot Group

2009-06-22 Thread Thomas F. Giella NZ4O
Posted Monday June 22, 2009 at http://www.kn4lf.com/kn4lf5.htm and 
http://www.kn4lf.com/kn4lf72.htm

Today a new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged in the SW quadrant of the 
Sun near S22E41. Later today NOAA/SWPC should assign it #11023, with a beta 
magnetic signature.

We have seen four solar cycle 24 sunspot groups this month and six in the 
past 30 days. It appears that solar cycle 24 has finally come alive.
