В последнее время, похоже, было много путаницы в том, как члены избираются в комитет IRTS.

The average for the previous week was 83.9. On February 17 another new sunspot region emerged, but the daily sunspot number declined from 111 to 103.
The 111 sunspot number was the highest since the end of 2021, when sunspot numbers went as high as 147 following a few days of no sunspots at all.
A most excellent week with the weekend being exceptional. So many stations could be top dogs but TU5PCT (Ivory Coast), Z21A (Zimbabwe), ZF2OO (Cayman Islands) and VP8ADR (Falkland Is) really stand out. But there are many, many more.

You will hear in this interview that my conversion from being a skeptic to a believer is complete.
I know that you will find this interview with KD3CR very intere
