Solar Activity
Solar activity was low; lots of spots but not many big flares. Given the flare occurrence power law, having 27 C-class events and no M-class or higher suggests a rollover.
How many GOES flares occurred?
Flares above B, C, M, X class were 5 27 0 0
And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?
Flares above B, C, M, X class were 3 20 0 0
And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?
Flares above B, C, M, X class were 2 12 0 0
There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares 210 / 32 over the time range 29-Nov-11 06-Dec-11
There is a possible example of a "limb-intercepted" X-ray flare at http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/browser/?show=qlpcr+qli02+qli03+qli04&date=20111202&time=220425. These are particularly interesting for our forthcoming study of properties of the X-ray absorption limb.
Memory Management
SSR is emptying.
Data Gaps
No data gaps.
Spacecraft Status
Detector noise and spikes are still a problem:

G8: http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/browser/?show=grth+qlpcr+qlpfr+qlprr+monfs+monfr+monff&date=20111129&time=174107 http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/browser/?show=grth+qlpcr+qlpfr+qlprr+monfs+monfr+monff&date=20111129&time=033647 http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/browser/?show=grth+qlpcr+qlpfr+qlprr+monfs+monfr+monff&date=20111128&time=133800 http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/browser/?show=grth+qlpcr+qlpfr+qlprr+monfs+monfr+monff&date=20111123&time=183755

G6 appears to have a burst of noise coming out of SAA passes e.g. http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/browser/?show=grth+qlpcr+qlpfr+qlprr+monfs+monfr+monff&date=20111123&time=164747
Tohban should monitor G6 for this effect to ensure it doesn't get worse.
