Like June 24 to 27, July 7 had a new spot from cycle 25, according
to the magnetic signature.  This week's brief appearance was last
Sunday with a daily sunspot number of 12.

Average daily solar flux declined marginally from 67.5 to 67.1.

Predicted solar flux for the next 45 days is 67 on July 12 through
August 25.  That's right, 67 on every day.

Predicted planetary A index is 8 on July 12, 5 on July 13 to 15,
then 12 and 8 on July 16 and 17, 5 on July 18 to 27, 8 on July 28, 5
on July 29 through August 4, then 12, 15 and 12 on August 5 to 7, 5

OK1HH is taking a week off from his geomagnetic forecast, and will
return next week.

On Thursday night as I put this bulletin to bed, I am enjoying
monitoring remote receivers around the world, via
https://sdr.hu/?q=kiwisdr .  Currently listening to European CW
traffic on 40 meters from a receiver in Ukraine.
