of the alternative to the 2019 Cycle 25 forecast,
a minority report predicting stronger Cycle 25 (professional paper)
may soon occur. Here is a September 17 Youtube of McIntosh

June 16, 2021: QRN with geomagnetic storms (elevated A and K)
is caused by geomagnetic perturbation of electric fields in
conductive Earth materials
that induce geoelectric currents
on powerlines, data cables, pipelines and railroad tracks.
Geomagnetic QRN may be ionospheric and/or local.
