[DX-NEWS] Calm before the (solar) storm

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

March 10, 2006: It's official: Solar minimum has arrived. Sunspots have all but
vanished. Solar flares are nonexistent. The sun is utterly quiet.

Like the quiet before a storm.

This week researchers announced that a storm is coming--the most intense solar
maximum in fifty years. The prediction comes from a team led by Mausumi Dikpati
of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The next sunspot cycle
will be 30% to 50% stronger than the previous one, she says. If correct, the
years ahead could produce a burst of solar activity second only to the historic
Solar Max of 1958.

[DX-NEWS] YX0A, YX0LIX and YX0A/MM status

[Steven WheatleyKU9C]

 
Folks,
After returning from a long business trip, I've now
sized the YX0A/YX0LIX/YX0A-MM QSLs and can provide the
following status:

-I believe all QSLs received at my QTH by mid-February
will be in the mail back to you by April 9, 2007.  The
only exception I see are folks that have sent cards
for several calls I manage in one envelope; these will
be delayed and I cannot easly predict when I'll be
done with those.  By the fact that you included
several in one envelope, I've made the assumption that
you're not in a big hurry for these.

If you've not received your card by mid-April, feel
free to email me; at that time I'll be able to provide
status.
