NOAA: Sunspot is Harbinger of New Solar Cycle, Increasing Risk for
Electrical Systems

A new 11-year cycle of heightened solar activity, bringing with it increased
risks for power grids, critical military, civilian and airline
communications, GPS signals and even cell phones and ATM transactions,
showed signs it was on its way late yesterday when the cycle's first sunspot
appeared in the sun's Northern Hemisphere, NOAA scientists said."

And better DX as well! :-)

Last evening, KH6 was booming into the Left Coast on 75M. About time!

Sum Ting Wong;

The "Left" coast is how we refer to the US Pacific coast, specifically
California.

This designation is determined by looking to the north and extending
your left hand. This will now point to the left coast.

In Asia you would be pointing to the European Atlantic coast.

Just some American humor. HI HI.

Bob Casey is from Oradell, NJ which is on the Right Coast and I am
currently living in St. Louis, MO. What is your QTH?
