Here Comes the Sun…

After months of declining solar activity, our sun suddenly perked up. Today we had a solar flux index of 132 and a sunspot number of 122! These numbers are close to what we were seeing at the cycle maximum in 2014. Surprising activity and a X class solar flare and associated CME. 20m and 15m were noticeably stronger today on SSB. Made some good DX into the EU.
