Propgtn Sunspot AR2824 Ellerman Bombs!

[air-scan]

No impact on HF propagation but I find them interesting. At this time the sun is producing a barrage of Ellerman Bombs which look like little strobing lights around a sunspot. I thought this morning's observation is interesting to share. I use JHelioviewer (Windows version).

Yea, I get some tiny short spikes for what should be DX broadcast but nothing significant yet.
Maybe check out what data the Parker solar probe has been catching.

I have been receiving a few DX stations on 31m meter band around the hours of 6:30am to 9am central daylight time. Mostly good gray line DX. I really doubt it's influenced by solar activity. AR2824 isn't in direct line of sight of Earth quite yet. It's really not producing much solar flux.

Caught Nippon no Kaze on 9940khz this morning and video logged it. This isn't normally heard at my QTH.
