Remote beauty - NOT amateur radio
Remote places have a beauty all of their own. This photo from the Shetland Islands was recently posted by a friend up there.
Solar peak (cycle 25)
The month with the highest solar flux and sunspot number is ahead of the peak of the solar cycle with averaging. It looks like the averaged peak is this month. Whatever, we are likely to see good HF conditions still for several years.
Sunspots - Thursday November 2nd 2023
Solar flux is 159 and the SSN 105. A=9 and K=2.
