[Elecraft] OT -- Sunspot Cycle 25

[John Stengrevics]

That is precisely why I posted what I did.  People take somebody’s forecast and accept it.  Despite the progress made in understanding sunspot cycles, prediction is a very uncertain undertaking.

Take any prediction with a huge block of salt.

To quote from the reported studies,  “ . . . the start of Cycle 25 could be delayed to 2021 or 2022 and will be very weak, if it even happens at all . . . .  this (Cycle 24) could be the last solar maximum we’ll see for a few decades . . . .”  Guess I’d better gear up for FT8.
