Well, the latest sunspot forecast and data could prove that a double dipper low between the old and new cycles could be a fact, jack. There were in fact two sunspot peaks at the top of cycle 23, so maybe the mirror image theory is happening. Patiently waiting, waiting, waiting!
Meanwhile, 40 meters has been a pipeline from Florida to Europe at night, especially since most of the AM broadcast stations have cleared out of the lower part of the SSB band. Last weekend, heard signals on 15, 12, and 10 meters! Also the 10 meter repeaters were very active on the East Coast and the republic of Texas.
