Well, e107 is a great content management system and is ideally suited to producing many different web sites including radio based ones.

| | | | Sun Info | | Wednesday 17 February 2010 - 08:12:50 | | A lot of Sun Info can be found here. I made some adjustments and added some more pictures to look at. It really seens that the new solarcycle has started. Still having some solar spots. The new highest solarflux I have seen in the new solarcycle is 96(!!) some days ago.
| | | | SolarSpots holding? | | Saturday 16 January 2010 - 09:48:55 |  It seems that the Sun has come alive. We are seeing SolarSpots almost for a month and a week now with the exception of only two days without SunSpots.
Since the 8th. of December we have seen SunSpots from a count of 10 or more till a maximum of 45!!! I have seen also a SolarFlux of 94!!! A new highlight number for the new SolarCycle.
So I am convident that bandconditions will slowly improve. At last!!! We waited long enough.

UPDATE Today (Februari 9th. 2010) we have a sunspot number of 71 (!!) in 460 areas. This is the highest number in years. The solarflux at the moment is 94. Till now this was the highest solarflux of the new solarcycle. Let's see what happens now. Another nice event is that we have since the 8th. of December only 3 days without sunspots. It seems the new solarcycle has begun.
| | | | Two QSO's from the Pacific | | Saturday 26 December 2009 - 17:33:20 | Today (2nd Christmas day 2009) I made a nice QSO with Australia. I just turned my antenna to the USA (because of the time of day) when I saw him calling. Earlier that afternoon I had called to another Australian station without success. The last 2 months I made just a few QSO's. See the first screenshot for VK8DPX. If you click on the image then you get a larger image.
On the 14th. of November I had a QSO with ZL4AD. This was the 3rd time I had a QSO with him this year. One QSO even by the long-path.
I also had today a contact with an American station on the Westcoast (NQ6L). Also with the back of my antenna (directed to Australia). Not bad for a boring 2nd. Christmasday !!
