Hello Dan. There is a well known link between solar activity and HF propagation, but that is only half the story. Geomagnetic activity is the other half. Whether at solar minimum or maximum geomagnetic activity plays an important part in HF and LF bands conditions. Recently the geomagnetic activity as been very quiet with a
number of days when the Ap index was zero. Looking at the ...

Hello. Still waiting for 'SOHO' to update the magnetogram and the MDI images. Both images are from
the early hours of this morning (5th). Both plage areas (if they develop into groups) appear by their magnetic footprint and locality to the Sun's equator suggests that they would both belong to the old cycle. A plage area is found on the photosphere in regions of enhanced magnetic fields or ...
