SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY BULLETIN #08 - 1
2008 January 04 at 06:05 p.m. MST (2008 January 05 0105 UTC)
**** FIRST SOLAR CYCLE 24 POLARITY SUNSPOT OBSERVED ****
The first sunspot region with Solar Cycle 24 polarity was numbered by the Space Weather Prediction Center on January 4 at 2000 UTC (3:00 P.M. EST). The sunspot region was officially numbered as 10981. This does not mean the new cycle has officially started; however, this is a clear sign Solar Cycle 24 is within sight. Sunspots are tracked because they indicate the level of space weather activity we expect. Solar activity is forecast to reach a peak in 2011 or 2012.
A different kind of "Weather Alert" Ping.
TOP RUSSIAN SCIENTIST: GLOBAL COOLING COMING

LOL! That's going to make it a puzzle when cleaning out your closet. Are you're supposed to toss out wool clothes because of global warming or toss out cotton clothes due to global cooling? Thanks for the link. :-)
We made our way back home, and we knew that DX was safe. The Palos Verdes Sundancers were hard at work. The sunspots were returning. We had completely forgotten about the Hand Wringer who had started all this in the first place. The Great Days of DXing were just around the corner and Heard Island was coming up within a month! Don't listen to Hand Wringers with too much spare time. They think too much. Listen to the Hero of Mafeking! Be prepared! The signs are everywhere. There will be DX for all, although for some more than others. DX IS!
Indeed have faith, good DX will come to the deserving. DX IS...
Bush’s fault.
AAUUGGHHHH! GLOBAL WARMING! CARBON CREDITS!!! GENOCIDE IN RWANDA!!!! DROWNING POLAR BEARS!!!! SUNSPOTS!!!! PACK YOUR BAGS AND GATHER YOUR FAGS, LET'S PROTEST ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE WITH RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!!!!! IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE DOOMED!!!
[/SARCASM THROTTLE AT STATION KEEPING]
I can't find it in any dictionary.
DX for the deserving. Sounds good to me. Time to finish my tower at the new QTH and install the C31XR’s (to be stacked) that have been in boxes all summer.
Force 12 rules!
Sounds like something related to W6AM? (Dad lives in Rancho Palos Verdes - and I actually saw Mr. Wallace at a couple of SCDXC meetings in the early 70s.).
That's an abbreviation. ;-)

Fascinating stuff BTW
Alert Al Gore, this must be the work of Manbearpig. Just don’t try to imply that the ginormous ball of nuclear fire in the sky has anything to do with global warming.
Polar bears are drowing? Where?? ;-)
God kveld Viking2002! Det er dårlig vær i dag.
Víkingar ferðuðust mikið.
Norwegian: Good evening Viking 2002! It is bad weather today.
Icelandic: The Vikings traveled a lot.
Thanks Eyedigress. It is pretty interesting, especially as it affects airline and military communications, cellphones, etc.
Fascinating! Thanks for the link, BenLurkin.
