Solar Storm Forecast 12-01-2016
The Sun's activity has increased dramatically this week firing two M-class flares and about half a dozen smaller flares over the past several days. The new region causing this activity has been growing very rapidly, but now seems to be calming back down. Although no solar storms have been launched, we are watching this region carefully as it enters the Earth-strike zone. Amateur radio operators and GPS users should be prepared for disruptions on the day side of the planet. This is a short forecast that focuses on the ham radio and GPS communities. Look for a new full forecast that includes the aurora possibilities in the next few days.

Thank you for your report, it answered some questions for me regarding propagation issues I've had in last couple of days and what to expect. I enjoy seeing you on Ham Nation TV. Have you got you ham license yet?
