If you have issues today on the #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #HFbands, BLAME HER! #Solarcycle25 #SolarStorms #SolarStorm #Geomagneticstorm #SpaceWeather #Spacewx

Not one to shy away from a challenge; not going to let a somewhat dismal #spaceweather #spacewx forecast hinder my #amateurradio #hamradio #pota #parksontheair activation this morning. In less than an hour made forty #qrp #morsecode contacts on 40 meters during a #solarcycle25 K5 index #geomagneticstorm.

Experimenting with different configurations of 40 - 15 meter #linkedefhw with #qrpguys mini tuner while hunting #parksontheair #pota #sota #summitsontheair and #DX into Europe. Due to #geomagneticstorm from Earth facing #coronalhole #hfbands were noisy. #solarcycle25 #spaceweather #spacewx

This month, the Sun’s 11-year activity cycle will be nearing its maximum point. ☀️

Join Dr. Sten Odenwald to learn about the solar cycle & explore activities related to solar flares, cosmic rays & astronaut hazards.

Anxious to hear Dr. Odenwald's conclusion that THIS MONTH the sun will be nearing it max point for #solarcycle25 #spaceweather #spacewx #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

📅TODAY at 7 p.m. EDT

It's a NO #POTA #parksontheair day. #terrestrialweather and #spaceweather #spacewx not cooperating. #mothernature is having a hissy fit. If you're in the U.S. be careful out there. #AmateurRadio #Hamradio #solarcycle25 #solarstorms #solarstorm

The latest #Spaceweather update from Spaceweather.com

"Because the sunspot is behind the edge of the solar disk, the flare was partially #eclipsed. It was probably even stronger than it appeared. 'X8.7' is almost certainly an underestimate of the flare's true strength.

"Extreme ultraviolet radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a deep shortwave #RadioBlackout over the Americas. Ham radio operators, aviators and mariners may have noticed a sudden loss of signal at all frequencies below 30 MHz.

"Subatomic debris from this event might soon reach Earth, guided toward our planet by the #ParkerSpiral. Also, a #CME might be in the offing. Stay tuned for updates!

"EARTH IS CONNECTED TO SUNSPOT AR3664: Giant sunspot AR3664 is no longer facing Earth. That makes it extra dangerous. The #Carrington-class sunspot is passing over the sun's western limb--a region of the sun that is magnetically connected to our planet. Indeed, we are feeling the effects of that connection right now.

"What's causing this? Protons accelerated by solar flares in the magnetic canopy of #AR3664 are following the #ParkerSpiral back to Earth. Think of it as a magnetic superhighway. The arriving particles are funneled by our planet's magnetic field toward the poles where they ionize the atmosphere and interfere with the normal transmission of shortwave radio."

#SolarHam #Spaceweather Update:

Largest #SolarFlare Of #SolarCycle25 Observed

May 14, 2024 @ 17:05 UTC (UPDATED)

"The largest solar flare of the current solar cycle 25, and largest since 2017 was just observed around deparing #AR3664 off the west limb. The #X8.7 event peaked at 16:51 UTC (May 14) causing a strong R3 level radio blackout directly over North America. More to follow.

"And Then...

"An eruption in the vicinity of newly assigned #AR3682 measuring M4.4 was observed at 17:38 UTC (May 14). This event looks to be eruptive, meaning a #CME will be produced.

"Solar Cycle 25 just kicked it up a notch!"

Tough day from my QTH on the #AmateurRadio #hamradio #HFBands. Just can't catch a break. Not even on #FT8. #solarcycle25 #spaceweather #spacewx #terrestrialweather #weather Thunderstorms.
