      These are as broadcast by WWV, and thus the A-Index is for Boulder and
      not Fredericksburg (VA) as mistakenly indicated in prior reports on this.

      The first two weeks of October saw the passage of a large (but simple
      and therefore not active) Cycle 21 spot on the solar northern hemisphere.
      However, Cycle 20 groups still predominate, so the minimum has not come.
