Loading ...Sky wave? Actually don’t answer that. I don’t know enough about hams to get into it. My friend does, I don’t.
Space (the final frontier…)
Goldie & ferrett, I have used both of those sites. Spaceweather has more general-interest stuff along with the instruments. Solarham.com I use daily on our ham nets. A Canadian ham aggregates all the solar data for the day and gives a concise report. We use the information to predict radio propagation in the ionosphere… which is energized by the sun.

As far as satellites the” South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA),” when rotating is A constant doesn’t help.
solarham.com is a similar site.
Not for light browsing if you are actually interested in the sun’s effect on our weather though. It is complex stuff with many unknowns but as it isn’t a government website, and as AI is not involved, these unknowns are freely admitted to.
On goldie’s site the starlink losses intrigued me. The eventual plan is for 42,000 satellites, each weighing 1,760lbs, which will last five years in orbit – that means at saturation over 8,000 satelites will burn up every year. And then there is the space weather problem. If you think earthly forecasts are bad, the data set for solar wind, which was only discovered 70 years ago, is sparse so expect more surprises like this:

Someone sent me this link, all about space including solar flares with other links. Subscription is free. In case your interested. It’s a little too much for me unless I go back to a computer instead of tiny small print. She uses a computer never a mobile phone less a emergency. . My friend doesn’t do anything little.. ps scrolling it a lot about space X on there.

BREAKING: Iran rejects Pakistan’s claim that a US-Iran agreement is imminent and will be signed electronically during a ceremony in the next 24 hours, on Sunday June 23, with Iran’s Foreign Ministry saying any signing “will not be tomorrow,” and nothing is finalized, per Tasnim.
So … who to believe?

BREAKING: Iran says talks have now “completely stalled” due to Trump’s positions and actions, saying that as long as Trump does not accept all of Iran’s demands in the draft, the 60-day negotiation period has no chance of beginning and Iran won’t sign, per a source close to Iran’s Ghalibaf.
Vance’s new statements say the deal involves “no cash” and “no funds released for signing,” while Iran’s draft requires the US to release $24 billion in frozen funds and pay Iran $300 billion in war reparations before Iran signs anything.
There clearly isn’t an agreement.

The usual end of day selling in the metals. I’d like to think we have a bottom, but it always seems like pm bottoms must be tested.
Be good when Maddog gets back, I want to see if those $15-$20K options for December are still in place.
Good weekend all, I expect the non-war to be on and off a couple times over the weekend.

Yeah, I’d only be good for a week or so at that rate. 🤔

“leaving a mark”
If it was me I’d soon be broke! 😉
I could be wrong but
The first time the HUI got up to 630 was 20 years ago. It next got there again in 2011. Then of course it blew through it last year on its way to the high of 986.
I guess I find it interesting that we just bounced off that level yesterday. Magnets.
A-good couple of days for the shares all things considered.
ZH has an article
Saying that the Iran says the deal is virtually done and they appear giddy.
Who knows what the heck to believe anymore. Yesterday was Trump’s 38th time saying things were about done – literally 38 times. Now he says there’s some fake news?
Ipso – no doubt the blockade is leaving a mark.
Trump himself rejects what the Iranians are saying

The blockade has really got to be hurting them! How many millions a day are they losing? Did I hear 700? How long can they hold out?
Seems to be a lot of difference in the draft peace proposals announced by the US and those from Iran. It would be no surprise if the whole thing fell apart.
Correction $435 millions a day
“The $435 million‑per‑day number cited repeatedly in international media is attributed to reporting in the Wall Street Journal and is echoed by NDTV and Iran’s central bank warnings; those sources frame the figure as the approximate daily economic damage to Iran from a U.S. blockade that cuts off most seaborne trade and forces oil field shutdowns”

hard to see why, but that a good thing.
Ipso – I would surely think it would piss them off. If we can just steal their oil, there’s no need to bomb them at all, we’ll just starve them out. Sucks for their population though.

A young Scottish girl who defended her sister from Muslim invader/predators has been vindicated by a British court. She should have a statue erected in her honor rather than have been charged in the first place. She has more heart than the leftist politicians destroying the UK.

I think it’s true. The US has been guiding ships past the strait and to freedom. I sure don’t know about these ships going back in there to pick up more oil? This operation must PO the Iranians royally! 🙂
