That may well be Ryan, but a LITTLE propagation every now and then on the high bands is a good thing! (Especially the 2nd full weekend in December)
Personally, I just want to complete 12 meter DXCC (about 30 confirms to go) before the band dies out completely again!

Call me crazy but I liked it better when sunspots were sparse. You really appreciated when some of the higher bands opened up. When 15 opened up the bands went crazy!
