For those who do not take CQ magazine, there is an article this month very much worth reading. It summarizes recent findings about the forthcoming sunspot cycle and its effect on propagation. To quote from the reported studies, “ . . . the start of Cycle 25 could be delayed to 2021 or 2022 and will be very weak, if it even happens at all . . . . this (Cycle 24) could be the last solar maximum we’ll see for a few decades . . . .” Guess I’d better gear up for FT8.
I personally cannot assess the quality of the research nor its full implications. Just thought I would alert others who may be interested to the article.
