THE SOLAR DATA PAGE:

This is the Beaconworld Solar Data Page. On this page you will find real-time links to a number of useful sources of information about the Geomagnetic and Propagation activity and see lots of images showing the current solar activity levels. The page also includes links to a number of other useful solar and propagation related websites which you might also like to check out, and if there are any additional sources of information which you would like to see included here in the future then please do contact me with your suggestions or ideas, and I will be happy to try and add them to this section if it is possible. Static and Weather Data can now be found in a separate section on the Beaconworld website, or easily reached via this link:

AURORAL ACTIVITY PASSES:

These images show the latest Auroral Activity passes, and allow you to see how active the Geomagnetic Fields over the North and South Poles are. These charts are particularly useful for checking on how likely the chances or T/A or T/E reception are. Images courtesy of NOAA Auroral Activity Site.
