“Be sure to watch to the end for a Parker Solar Probe Dedication! aurora shows, especially at high latitudes. Two coronal holes are rotating through the Earth-strike zone, which means Earth will be preconditioned for activity! The news for amateur radio operators is not so great, as the last remaining bright region on the Earth-facing Sun rotates to the Sun’s backside out of view. Solar flux has dropped and we are back at poor levels for radio propagation on Earth’s dayside. Unfortunately, these conditions could easily continue over the next week or more. Learn the details of the coming solar storm, see why GPS users are smiling, and why “CW” for amateur radio operators may be the mode of choice.”
