found this tidbit interesting in my weekly Solar Reports... hope for some sun spots ! Note that the Vernal Equinox is coming up in a few days. At 0007z on March 21 (which is Tuesday, March 20 in North America) the sunlight hitting the northern and southern hemispheres will be equal. All over the world, the sun will rise in the morning, and then set 12 hours later. Sunrise in Seattle at 47.67 degrees north latitude will be 1416z, sunset at 0216z. In Matto-Grosso Brazil at 15 degrees south latitude, sunrise at 0943z, sunset at 2143z. In England at 52.2 degrees north latitude, 1 degree west longitude, sunrise at 0611z, sunset at 1811z. With an equal measure of sunlight striking both hemispheres, the equinox is a good time for HF propagation, with the possible exception that we have very low sunspot activity
