ZERO sunspots for about the 12th day running makes this the longest
dry spell since the last lowest count in the last sunspot cycle 10 or
so years ago.

Amazing conditions for those interested in Dxing the AM broadcast band
with many long diastnace stations heard , even in the day time !

Currently in Australia the maximum SW usable frequency is about 15Mhz
during the day and at night time it drops to about 9mhz.
