According to Spaceweather.com, sunspot group 1054 is growing and could pose a threat for C-class solar flares. This sounds ominous, but actually C-class flares are the least likely to cause disruptive interference on Earth. The news of continuing sunspot activity (spot group 1055 is also Earth-facing today) is good news for amateur radio HF enthusiasts who are looking forward to better short-wave communication worldwide with increasing sunspot counts.
