Finally settling down, we had quite a stretch of junk coming in from the sun. It was really messing up the propagation on the HF bands. That's all settled down pretty well now. The solar flux is backed down from where it was, it's backed down to 139. The K-index is just over one right now, about one and a half. The propagation indicates that the solar region that was causing all the mischief has rotated off the East limb and out of sight. That was the one that was causing a lot of flare activity. There's another one that threw out a big flare just coming into the West Side. It threw an X-class flare, but nothing else, so it seems to be behaving itself. So I think we're back to fairly decent propagation here for a few days at least anyway. Okay, let's move on to Laura, K-87, H-I-P, good morning. Good morning, Lake Camden, the net is K-87, H-I-P, name is Laura, saving the money.
