V nedeľu 12.mája bola zaznamenaná najväčšia tohtoročná slnečná erupcia triedy X1.7. This suggests that we are past the peak of solar activity, as an X5.4 class eruption was recorded in 2012 and an X6.9 in 2011. A solar eruption of this kind will affect the propagation conditions on both the KV and the lower ones VHF bands. Keep a close eye especially on non-traditional spreading opportunities, e.g. 6m/4m/2m.
