Daily summary for last quarter here. http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpdir/indices/quar_DSD.txt Note that sunspot number begines with 2. 23 = 2 regions with 3 "spotlets". No other 2x reading in last quarter. 14th May had a 18 (1 area with 8 spotlets) and others have been mid 1x. Maybe the sun is waking up again, at last. Maybe.
