Why I started this site

In 2006 Cycle 24 was initially predicted to be 30-50% stronger than the previous cycle 23 and the strongest in 50 years. Being that I am a Ham Radio operator and very active on VHF and interested in Aurora, I thought that starting a website dedicated to VHF and the upcoming Cycle would be a great idea. Since then my site has grown into my second full time job and the predictions of Cycle 24 has changed depending on who you talk to.

SolarCycle24.com will be your one stop source for everything Solar and Aurora as it relates to Cycle 24. You will find Real Time data, News, Charts, Images, Multimedia and much more. My goal is to put all important information from various sources into one spot. As soon as something important is happening on the sun, you will see it here first.

My main goal is to track and monitor Aurora openings on VHF including my favorite band 6 meters. I plan on logging all my personal contacts online and capturing the great aurora moments as they happen.

This site launched on March 15, 2006 and below is a screenshot of Version 2.0 of this site. Version 1.0 is too ugly to show you and I dont even have any screenshots of it.
