July 10, 2014
A very poor week with the weekend just about rescuing it. EF6 is still out there, even I managed to work him. Not much else for me though. I did manage to get into the spotters list on Tuesday.
This chart show activity from January to June 2014.
It’s easy to see the downturn in activity over the past 3 months.

 
Again W1AW is most sort after with ZY14PB (Football Brazil) and EF6 (New King of Spain) in there too.

Sun: There are 11 or so sunspot clusters at the moment. Big sunspots AR2108 and AR2109 have "delta-class" magnetic fields that harbour energy for X-class solar flares. Sunspot AR2113 poses a threat for M-class flares. Credit: SDO/HMI
 
Wow Brazil really crashed out of the World Cup in spectacular fashion, or put another way, didn’t the Germans do well. I’m hoping for Netherlands v Germany final with the Netherlands winning it in style. But what do I know, I’m a Stoke City supporter.
