ConDX/SolarActivity: Yesterday Space Weather News reported "an
encouraging sign that the 11- year solar cycle is indeed progressing"
as a new Cycle 24 magnetism has formed what appears to be two fast
growing planet earth sized sunspots (1002). The two spots were
discovered late on Sunday September 21st. These are cycle 24 activity
as they are located well above the sun's equator high in the northern
latitude. This new activity also has the magnetic polarity of Cycle 24.
You can see the new cycle 24 spots at http://tinyurl.com/3rcr84.

5R8EM LH42 still qrv 144 MHz EME - Since saturday 20th the group made
QSO to QSO on 144 MHz EME-QSL please via Jacques F1BCS... Hi there,
thank you very much for the many contacts on144 EME, please have a
look at 5r8em.blogspot.com for the latest news and take the opportunity
to call us for this last pass. We were still 'blackout'ed by the
unknown local noise which was putting our smeter to S9 for hours
(at least until 4am UTC and for the moon set). Nevertheless, we got
new calls on the list, and it's fun ! Now, the next pass will be the
last pass for us and we would love to get new ones and/or some big
guns calling us again in order to ear the bagpipes sounds again.
See you 5R8EM - SOURCE: tnx JM, F1HDI, via MoonNet and own BLOG
