| Mystery of the Missing Sunspots, Solved? |
|
W7GET writes "The sun is in the pits of a century-class solar minimum, and sunspots have been puzzlingly scarce for more than two years. Now, for the first time, solar physicists might understand why.
At an American Astronomical Society press conference today in Boulder, Colorado, researchers announced that a jet stream deep inside the sun is migrating slower than usual through the star's interior, giving rise to the current lack of sunspots."

| Scientists Predict Solar Cycle 24 to Peak in 2013 |
|
W7GET writes "At the annual Space Weather Workshop held in Boulder, Colorado last
month an international panel
of experts led by NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC)
predicted that Solar Cycle 24 will peak in May 2013 with 90 sunspots per
day on average. If the prediction proves true, Solar Cycle 24 will be
the weakest cycle since Solar Cycle 16, which peaked with 78 daily
sunspots in 1928, and ninth weakest since the 1750s, when numbered
cycles began."

| California County Says Ham Radio Operators Remain Active and Appreciated |
|
W7GET writes "The (California county of San Luis Obispo)
was notified by the Federal Communications Commission Wednesday, April 8 of a rumor on an Internet group site stating that the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance on March 31 which would ban Amateur Radio operators -- commonly known as ham radio operators -- from operating their transmitting stations. The rumor is posted as an alleged news story from a non-existent Los Angeles news publisher. The story alleges that the purpose of this false action by the Board was due to supposed interference caused by ham radio transmitters, among other reasons. The article has an online posting date of April 1, 2009."
