    Solar activity website "layman's terms" to help everyone.

    Here's an example of what's posted on that website. It's easier to read and understand for even me. But I wanted to put this up here so we all could have something we could link up to and get a look at what's happening and how it affects us and what to expect. Even tells you who gets to see the pretty light Sniper! http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/alerts/arch...ent_month.html This other site gives you more detailed data with snapshots of the sun's activity and a funky ass meter. http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SWN/index.html......... Be safe, don't get burnt and enjoy the surf.

    Hey, no whining, I give a shit.

    This helps to figure out HF radio propagation and the effects that solar activity has on satellites and the power grid.


    Thanks.

    Checking it out now, lots of good intel
    RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.

    An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

    So much for making contact with ya. I'm not a "Ham junkie" I'm just about setting up a network making sure everyone has POCs I have some folks over in LaGrande. Not to far away from you I reckon. Was wondering if I can make it that far on HF.........my brothers are kinda slow over there in NV. Siblings........

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
