The biggest recorded solar maximum in history occurred in 1957. A friend 
  of mine had built a little crystal-controlled 6 meter AM transmitter 
whose final had an INPUT of around 10 watts, and a sloppy yagi up about 
15 feet.

One afternoon we sat in his basement and worked station after station 
all over the US. The band was full of signals and hetrodynes. It sounded 
like 40 or 75 meters.

Who knows, maybe it will happen again in a few years?
