[Elecraft] OT -- Sunspot Cycle 25

[Fred Jensen]

Ummm ... "completely uncertain" is not true as is "nobody really 
knows."  A great deal of information and data on solar dynamics has been 
collected and analyzed in recent years which shed a lot of light [no pun 
intended] on the various solar cycles and processes, and a great deal 
*is* known and understood, just not everything.

The probability of a reprise of the late 50's Cycle 19 for Cycle 25 is 
known to be very low.  The probability of a very weak Cycle 25 is much 
higher.  Meanwhile, as N6KR points out, my radio still works and I still 
make QSO's, some with stations very far away.

I too think the article in CQ is very interesting, I read it twice.
