[HCDX] REL About the New Sunspots ... My point of view

["Prof. Arnaldo Coro Antich" <coro@xxxxxxx>]

Sure ... they are most welcome !!!
And YES, they are too close to the solar equator to ¨¨belong¨to cycle 
24, and I think that one must
remember that NOT ALL sunspots of a cycle have the same magnetic 
polarity, and also that
new cycle spots typically appear at higher solar latitudes...
But let´s leave those subtle details to the helioscientists, as the 
gurus that study our nearest star
like them to be called... and proceed like good radio enthusiasts to 
start tuning all of our
HF equipment, remove the poor contacts from the higher frequency 
antennas and start
talking on at least 17 and 15 meters more often, although the nice 
combination of spring equinox
and solar flux of more than 90 units may certainly bring up nice 
openings onthe little used 12 meters band and the much
more popular 10 meters 1.7 megaHertz wide ITU assignment to the ¨¨ 
amateur radio service¨and the
¨¨satellite amateur radio service
Just forget about the polarity of the three sunspot active regions and 
move away from the debate
regarding if they belong to one cycle or the other, and look for CO2KK 
on 10 meters amigos !!!
