The sunspot number is slightly down to 119, and sunspot AR1748 is showing less potential for high energy flaring. The Kp index briefly increased overnight, but it is now back down to a relatively quiet level.



Upper HF bands are showing sparse DX activity this morning, at least for North America. The 20m band is looking like the current best bet, with propagation into both Europe and Australia.

The sunspot number is holding at 113, and sunspot AR1748 still holds potential for additional flaring. Otherwise, the Kp index is still relatively quiet, and might possibly remain so until increased solar wind from a coronal hole arrives around Thursday.



The 10m band is once again producing moderate DX conditions this evening, though as usual for this time of year, the 20m and 40m band are the better bet as the greyline

The sunspot number is 113, with sunspot AR1748 holding potential for significant flaring. Additional solar energy is also streaming from a coronal hole and should impact Earth towards later this week. There has been a R1-class radio blackout in the past 24 hours, though the Kp index has since subsided down to a generally quiet level.



Upper HF and lower VHF enthusiasts could find moderate DX conditions on the 10m and

The sunspot number is down to 102, with sunspot AR1731 still holding potential for a significant flare event. Otherwise, the Kp index is currently quiet.



With a low noise floor, today could be a good day for HF DX enthusiasts. Even the 6m band is producing some contacts, both within North America and across the pond into Europe. 10m enthusiasts might also find TEP conditions into South America. 15m and 20m are open for

The sunspot count is up to 165, with AR1730 and AR1731 still holding potential for significant flaring. The KP index is slightly up as well, peaking at 4 in the past 24 hours and now settling back down to 3. The Kp index could rise again when the previously mentioned increased solar wind from a coronal hole likely arrives at Earth towards weekend.



An increased HF noise floor should be expected tonight, at least until
