Sunspot 1025.
September 2nd, 2009

From SpaceWeather.com…[2009-09-01] “SUNSPOT 1025: A new sunspot emerged yesterday and interrupted a 51-day string of blank suns. It wasn’t much of an interruption. Sunspot 1025 is small and may already be fading away.” That might explain the CQ fatigue I’ve been reporting! A massive 51 days without any hint of a sunspot - that’s quite a stretch. It goes a long way towards explaining why conditions have been so poor recently on HF. Indications are that this could be just another false dawn for cycle 24 but let’s hope that it does perk up soon! |

* Just to clarify, this image does not show sunspot 1025. Sunspot 1025 was much smaller than the sunspots shown here.
