			=== What does that mean for amateur radio operators? ===
			For users of VHF/UHF frequencies (30 MHz and up), it does not mean much. For users of HF transceivers, you may notice changes in your ability to hear and be heard on certain bands.

	Solar activity follows a cycle that is about eleven years long. That is, there are eleven Earth years between the points of the cycle where we observe the lowest number of sunspots, solar flares, ejection of solar material, etc.		Solar activity follows a cycle that is about eleven years long.
