A Second Solar Max Peak?

https://swling.com/blog/2025/02/a-second-solar-max-peak/

The sun is reaching the peak of its 11-year activity cycle. Scientists said Tuesday that they conclude the sun is at the peak of "Cycle 25" and will remain there for another year or so before activity starts to subside. That peak of activity has resulted in brilliant auroral displays, but solar storms that produce auroras also threaten satellites and the electrical grid. https://www.space.com/solar-cycle-25-max-phase-more-sun-storms

#solarcycle25 is providing many opportunities for #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #CW #MorseCode #DX using #QRP especially on 10m from the midwest around Noon EDT (1600 UTC) Today's #POTA #parksontheair #Park2Park from KY to Spain 66.5 kilometers. US-7956 to ES-0426

This month, the Sun’s 11-year activity cycle will be nearing its maximum point.

Join Dr. Sten Odenwald to learn about the solar cycle & explore activities related to solar flares, cosmic rays & astronaut hazards.

Anxious to hear Dr. Odenwald's conclusion that THIS MONTH the sun will be nearing it max point for #solarcycle25 #spaceweather #spacewx #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

#AmateurRadio #HamRadio Operators and #Aurora watchers have a GREAT Weekend. #solarcycle25 #spaceweather #spacewx

#Solarcycle25 may be creating havoc for some but I'm using the Greek Sun God Helios do some work for me. @TPsolar Foldable 60 Watt #solarpanel #AmateurRadio #hamradio

Nope. Not gonna happen. Not going to let these geomagnetic conditions prevent this morning's #POTA #parksontheair #FT8 #SSTV #Winlink demonstration activation. Back off Mother Nature #solarcycle25 #spaceweather #spacewx #amateurRadio #hamradio

It's a NO #POTA #parksontheair day. #terrestrialweather and #spaceweather #spacewx not cooperating. #mothernature is having a hissy fit. If you're in the U.S. be careful out there. #AmateurRadio #Hamradio #solarcycle25 #solarstorms #solarstorm

It's the WEEKEND and right on cue, R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) solar flare events remain probable through the weekend (Aug 23-25th EDT). Many sunspot groups are present as solar cycle 25 continues.

There is something exciting, intriguing and fascinating arising early morning, heading out into an open field using a Nano VNA and do some antenna plotting to determine which antenna setup works better under challenging #solarcycle25 conditions #AmateurRadio #hamradio

#solarcycle25 #geomagnecticstorms provided lots of #QSB this morning on 40, 30 & 20 meters but was able complete #Morsecode #pota #parksontheair activation and eke a #QSO with #TO8FP. My @Buddipole Deluxe setup as a #buddistick performed well with 3 watts from #HB1B #amateurRadio #hamradio

#solarcycle25 keeps on giving. Another record high #SFI #SolarFlareIndex. #amateurradio #hamradio

My #amateurradio #hamradio activities have come to a standstill. If it's not one, it's the other. Never both at the same time. Can't catch a break. #solarcycle25 #spaceweather #spacewx #solarstorm #solarstorms #SolarFlare #SolarFlares #radioblackouts #thunderstorms #flashflood #flashfloods

#AmateurRadio #hamradio operators, here's the #SolarCycle25 #Spaceweather #Spacewx forecast for the North American CW QSO Party #NorthAmericanCWQSOParty this weekend. #CW #MorseCode #SolarFlare #Solarflares #Radioblackouts #RadioBlackout

R1-R2 (Minor - Moderate) level solar flares continue to be expected into the weekend (1 - 4 August). There is also a continuing chance for an R3 (Strong) event. Details at
