</address> <pre> </pre> <p> Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<p>Unusually for this point in the cycle, there was an X9.0 from a large and as yet unnumbered region on the east limb at 10:18 UT today. Over the past 24-hours, the region has produced ~14 C-class flares, together with M- and X-class events. The region appears to be the return of NOAA 10923, which was a large asymmetric beta-gamma region on its last traversal of the disk. It gives me great pleasure to state: &quot;Further intermediate level activity expected, with a chance for an X&quot;.
<p>The approximate position of this region on 5-Dec-2006 10:00 UT is:
<p>S06E80, ( -955&quot;, -103&quot; )
