Most welcome -- but I forgot to mention that the SFI is all downhill from
now on -- to a minimum sometime in 2006.

Cycle 24 is predicted to peak in 2010.

Cycle 23 started in May 1996 and peaked around April 2000. so we are 4
years from the peak and 2 years from the bottom - more or less.

SFI =180 WOW -- hello world
SFI = 280 Gandbusters a wet noodle antenna will do ya
SFI =300 My prayers have been answered

But depends on the frequency and the A and k indices as well.
