NOAA: Sunspot is Harbinger of New Solar Cycle, Increasing Risk for
Electrical Systems

A new 11-year cycle of heightened solar activity, bringing with it increased
risks for power grids, critical military, civilian and airline
communications, GPS signals and even cell phones and ATM transactions,
showed signs it was on its way late yesterday when the cycle's first sunspot
appeared in the sun's Northern Hemisphere, NOAA scientists said."

And better DX as well! :-)

Well, now the global warming folks will have to switch their
arguments back to global cooling.... The ice age is coming!

Correct. The sunspots alternate polarity on each 11 year half-cycle.
We just finished the warming polarity and are entering, again, the
cooling polarity.
