Time to say goodbye to Bluesky. Engagement here has been minimal compared to X, so I'm consolidating my social media presence. You can still find me and my HF propagation work over on X. 73! #hamradio #spaceweather

Going forward, I will write the data from my 17+ years of collection of solar key figures to two separate databases for redundancy, just in case the shit hits the fan....

February 2024 was excellent for DX on the 80-meter band. Will it be the same again this year? It looks promising. is.gd/Z45Vjw #hamradio

I am expecting a strong February/March on 10m, following the usual seasonal pattern.

Today's X1.9 #solarflare had only a minor and short-term impact on HF radio communications. 160 m and 80 m were affected. The 40m band was slightly degraded. I would not describe it as a blackout grafana.gafner.net/goto/xgjtz0W... #hamradio #spaceweather #HFpropagation
