I have very little doubt that the next sunspot cycle will be pretty weak.  The long term trend has been pretty obvious in general. However, it seems erroneous that they would predict a delay in the start when the first (albeit weak) sunspot of Cycle 25 (opposite polarity) has just recently be

I'd pay more attention to predictions based upon theoretical considerations. Those based upon historical data patterns, statistical interpretation, curve fitting, etc are about as useful as stock market or global climate predictions. Someone can always take a bunch of historical data and come u

That is precisely why I posted what I did. People take somebody’s forecast and accept it. Despite the progress made in understanding sunspot cycles, prediction is a very uncertain undertaking. Take any prediction with a huge block of salt. John WA1EAZ > On Oct 9, 2018, at 3:14 PM, Dave Cole

Hi All, Is there an easy way to increase the level coming out of the sample port on the KPA1500? Using it with an Anan 7000dle yields an s-attenuator value of 11 which is fine for QRO operation but not when the amp is in bypass. I would like to see the output increased about 10 dB if possible.
