Romney 'Disses' Amateur Radio In Televised Town Meeting Posted on Wednesday16 November 2005 @ 15:48:10
Governor Mitt Romney dismissed the role of Amateur Radio operators in emergency communications
during a televised 'town meeting' program last night on WCVB's 'When Disaster Strikes: Segment Two.'
The program featured public safety and volunteer organization officials from across Massachusetts
among its audience.
Host and moderator Natalie Jacobson asked an increasingly-agitated Governor Romney questions about
communications interoperability, and communication without commercial power. Romney was next asked
by Jacobson, '...so does it come down to ham radio?...' |

SOLAR CYCLE 24 BEGINS: Solar physicists have been waiting for the appearance of a reversed-polarity sunspot to signal the start of the next solar cycle. The wait is over. Yesterday, a magnetically reversed sunspot (981) emerged at solar latitude 30 N, shown in this photo taken by Greg Piepol of Rockville, Maryland:
This marks the beginning of Solar Cycle 24 and the first step toward a new solar maximum. Intense solar activity won't begin right away. Solar cycles usually take a few years to build from solar minimum (where we are now) to Solar Max (expected in 2011 or 2012). It's a slow journey, but we're on our way!

| Exciting News ! Solar Cycle officially has arrived |
This announcement is from SIDC in Belgium: ...MDI images (ed: of the sun) show a
bipolar structure. This bipole is however the first of the new solar
cycle which actually develops into a visible sunspot group. Solar cycle
24 has arrived!" |

A new high latitude sunspot has just emerged and yes this time it is a sunspot. It also has the correct magnetic signature of a Cycle 24 spot. Pictures at Solarcyle24.com!

Sunspot 980 / Happy 2008
01/01/2008 by VE3EN at 22:10
Sunspot 980 is making itself shown on the eastern limb. You can see the rest of this area on the STEREO Behind image. This area has been producing C-Class and B-Class flares. A C8.3 flare took place late Sunday night and a CME was associated with it. This CME is not earth directed and will not effect us.
For most of the day today, the solar X-Ray Flux has seemed to have been very quiet. Perhaps this region is out of gas.
The solar flux is currently at 79.

| Possible Cycle 24 Sunspot / Solar Flux reaches into the 90's |
Possible Cycle 24 Sunspot / Solar Flux reaches into the 90's
12/12/2007 by VE3EN at 15:00
The tiny area that has rotated onto the eastern limb does appear to be a Cycle 24 spot. In the first images it did seem to have a tiny spot associated with it. The most recent image "as of this post" appears to be a plage area. In the new magnetogram it does however have the proper magnetic signature to classify it as Cycle 24.
Sunspot 978 remains fairly large, however has only produced numerous low level B-Class flare activity. As of December 11th, the Solar Flux reached 93 and the Sunspot Number was 44. That solar flux number is the highest it has been since December 2006 when then Sunspot 930 was having its way with solar activity.
