Solar Cycle 24 has started !

Solar physicists have been waiting for the appearance of a reversed-polarity sunspot to signal the start of the next solar cycle. The wait is over. A magnetically reversed, high-latitude sunspot emerged today. This marks the beginning of Solar Cycle 24 and the first step toward a new solar maximum. More information here... www.solarcycle24.com

6M UK Firsts

This list of firsts has been compiled from information in the public domain. I do not claim it to be 100% accurate and I am aware that there are a few omissions.
If you find a "first" missing from the list and you have information to share, please email the relevant information. If you are claming a QSO before an existing entry I would be happy to hear from you too. I do not need any proof other than time, date and callsign worked.
I do not wish to enter into any " disputes" regarding firsts, which can often be open to interpretation.
This list is produced in good faith and is not copyright.

The default listing of this page is G - England - you can select other UK countries : -
