Region 6555 managed to spawn several major flares shortly before it disappeared behind the eastern limb on 31 March/01 April. On 02 April, Region 6562 spawned an M6.1/3B flare at 23:27 UT. This major flare was associated with a strong Type IV sweep emission and was associated with a SID/SWF. The optical counterpart of this flare was also impressive, exhibiting a significant loop prominence system. Parallel ribbons were also observed with this flare. Since 02 April, solar activity became dormant. No M-class flares were observed until late in the period. On 09 April, a weak class M1.0/1B flare was observed from Region 6566 at 18:49 UT. Region 6566 was a small bipolar region with very little complexity. However, new flux emergence within this region increased activity and is believed responsible for producing the M-class flare. A satellite proton event at greater than 10 MeV began at 08:15 UT on 03 April and reached a peak flux of 52 pfu on 04 April. A Polar Cap Absorption (PCA) event began at 08:45 UT on 04 April and reached a peak absorption level of 2.2 dB's before ending shortly thereafter at 17:50 UT on 04 April. The major class M6.1/3B flare of 02 April is believed responsible for these events. The proton event decayed thereafter and ended at 06:45 UT on 06 April. The geomagnetic field was at mostly unsettled to active levels throughout the period. The only significant exception was on 04 April when all latitudes experienced several periods of major geomagnetic storming, most likely caused by the major class M6.1/3B flare of 02 April. Since 04 April, geomagnetic conditions have been generally unsettled with isolated periods of active conditions being observed over all latitudes. An impressive display of auroral activity was observed on 04 April, coincident with the sudden increase in geomagnetic activity due to the major flare of 02 April. The activity was relatively short-lived, however. The most intense activity was observed shortly after the SSC on 04 April for several hours. Activity was not intense enough to be viewed over the lower latitudes, although some isolated and unconfirmed reports of possible very weak auroral activity was reported from a few low latitude stations on 04 April. Continual low to moderate auroral activity has been observed over the northerly middle and high latitudes. Coronal-induced activity is most likely the cause of this prolonged geomagnetic and auroral activity over these regions. HF radio propagation conditions have been generally good throughout the period. The exception is 04 April, when some degradation was observed over all latitudes. Sporadic and isolated substorm activity has produced localized degraded conditions over several middle and low latitude regions recently, particularly over the southern hemispheric regions. Some isolated VHF auroral backscatter communications were reported on 04 April, coincident with the increased geomagnetic and auroral activity. Since then, conditions have been unfavorable for auroral communications on the VHF bands. SID enhancements were not possible due to the dormant nature of the solar activity since 03 April. SHORT TERM SOLAR TERRESTRIAL FORECAST Solar activity is on the rise again. There are many small and relatively inactive regions on the surface of the sun at the present time. Region 6583 (N10E73 on 11 April) just recently rotated into view from the east limb and is proving the be the most energetic region visible. It has produced several low-level M-class flares lately. The two most recent occurred at 03:44 UT and 20:30 UT on 10 April, reaching classes M1.3/1N and M1.9/SF ratings respectively. This region also produced a weak Type II sweep, apparently associated with a weak subflare. Region 6583 is still too near to the eastern limb to discern any significant detail. However, it appears to be a relatively small region with a slight amount of complexity associated with it. It is expected to continue to develope and evolve, and does not appear capable of producing any major flaring at the present time. Region 6555 (the potent region which produced the plethora of X-class flares late in March and was also responsible for the major geomagnetic storm on 24-26 March) is due to return on 13 April. There is a possibility this region could return in a form capable of producing occassional M-class flaring. However, we believe that this region has probably decayed to the point where flaring should be weak and of little significance. The east limb will be monitored closely for the return of this region. Geomagnetic activity is expected to remain at generally quiet to unsettled levels over the next three days. An increase to unsettled to active levels is possible beginning on 13 April, due to recurrent activity and an expected reversal in the direction of the interplanetary magnetic field. A southward directed field is expected to materialize over the next several days (if it hasn't already materialized). Increased geomagnetic instability is expected to occur thereafter. No middle latitude storming is expected this week, barring any significant solar activity. Auroral activity should become relatively dormant over the next week, except over the high latitudes where low level auroral activity should persist, mixed in with isolated periods of moderate activity. Some northerly middle latitude areas should witness this weak auroral activity low over the northern horizon under a dark sky. Activity should become slightly enhanced beginning on or near 13 April due to recurrent solar corpuscular emissions and also due in part to the expected change in interplanetary magnetic field direction.

Let me rephrase that. *Simultaneous* dual receive capability. The ability to listen to two frequencies at once in a transceiver negates the need for a separate receiver.
