Now, for the interesting part. November 2003 flare occurred during the declining phase of solar cycle 23. 22 years later, we are near the same point in solar cycle 25. As any good space weather forecaster will tell you, solar cycle 24 is a time to take explosions. No one knows why, but it's true. In conclusion, don't be surprised if it happens again. And that's it for that bulletin. This is KI0 AR net control for the Colorado Astronomy Net. Actually, I think I'm going to call it testing for the bulletins and all the extra stuff. And get into the rocket report in just a second. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November, All Star Node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. So, two timely events today. We've got the nearly super moon, or the very bright full moon. I'd love to hear some observations from those of you who are out there looking at it now. And I'd love to hear any reports from the amateur radio side of the solar activity. And see how if you guys were playing on HF and what you might have heard during the day, during that solar flare event that kind of deadened to South America there. So, I'd really like to hear your comments on that and when we go down the list. So stay tuned for that. Hopefully we'll hear. And if anyone on YouTube has any response for that as well, I'd love to see that posted over in the chat. This is KI-0A, our next call for the Colorado Astronomy Net. The Rocket Man in W6RDC's rocket repair program for 2025. This report covers the period of October 28th through October 11th. Last week's worldwide launch cadence remains brisk, averaging about one launch per day. Seven launches made it off the pad and into orbit last week. Three SpaceX, two Chinese, one ESA.
