The contrarian view is based on a correlation analysis of the distance between "termination events" and the activity of the following cycle.  The earlier [lower] estimates for Cycle 25 were based on physical solar dynamics.  I remember Cycle 19, I was a teenage ham with a new Extra, and I of co

[Elecraft] Sunspots and the K2, K1

I built my K2 and then a K1 during the solar maximum in 2001/2.  One of the hallmarks of the K2 is it strong signal rejection.  It was one of the best radios of the time and is still among the better radios today.  The K1 isn't really in the same league, but it's no slouch either.  The worst tes

Re: [Elecraft] Sunspots!?!?

I've been a ham since before the solar peak of cycle 20, more than 50 years ago. I used a K1 with its simple SA612 front end during the peak activity for cycle 23 and 24. The problem that you have conjured is non-existent for practical proposes. There is nothing but joy to be had with any QRP

Re: [Elecraft] Sunspots!?!?

Doug, I lived through cycle 19 of the sunspot signals, and did not find any problem with receiver overloading at that time. We did not have the Elecraft gear at that time, but what we had was not up to the performance/protection that is typical for Elecraft. Receivers have gotten much bette

If, by some miracle, the sunspot count were to eventually jump up to a really high level, as was the case in around 2002, or even better in 1959, how would the various Elecraft receivers work? I’m specifically interested in the K1 and K2, but in general, is there a realistic problem with overloa
