The great Sunspot cycle peak in 1957 was the greatest ever recorded. For
some of us that were just coming into radio, it is hard to take cycles that
do not reach those dizzy heights.
For a young ham in 1957, sitting in a mobile with AM rig of about 50 watts,
talking to Australia in the middle of a Sat. afternoon was a great high
point! There were plenty of other thrills in 57 and 58 cycle.
Unfortunately, I was inactive at the 1968 cycle, but the others have not
generated the thrills of 57.
