GB2RS Propagation News
Propagation News – 3 August 2014
As predicted, two large sunspot regions rotated into view, one on the 27th and the other on the 30th. Solar activity started at low levels with a small number of C class solar flares taking place each day. However, on the 31st, activity increased to moderate levels when a M2 class solar flare took place […]
Propagation News – 27 July 2014
The Sun had another quiet week, with solar activity very low. Spots were few and there were six successive days when no solar flares were reported until a, small C-class occurred on the 24th. After last week’s precipitate drop, the solar flux was more stable. It began the week at 89 units and ended at […]

Solar activity retreated from the levels of recent weeks. Though C-class flares were reported on most days they had no marked impact on propagation. On the 16th and 17th no flares were reported and the solar disc was almost blank. The solar flux, which touched the 200 mark on the 8th, had declined to only […]

For three days from the 6th eleven sunspot regions were visible, though most were small there were at least a couple of large and magnetically complex regions. Saying that, solar activity only increased to moderate levels on the 8th, 9th and the 10th when a single M class solar flare took place on each day. […]

NASA’s twin STEREO spacecraft, which can see the far side of the Sun and make 3D images of incoming coronal mass ejections, have made my job of forecasting solar activity for GB2RS much easier. Later this year, the twin probes will pass directly behind the Sun and will have to be turned off. Operations could […]
Propagation News – 29 June 2014
By the 24th only three sunspot regions were visible and these were only producing the occasional C-class solar flares most day. In fact, on the 22nd and the 25th solar activity declined to very low levels when no C class solar flares took place. In total 10 C class solar flares took place during the […]
