[Fists] Solar Cycle Effects

[Stan Reas]

Fellow FISTS Members:

The Solar Cycles do have a pronounced effect on Amateur radio activity !

This is really evident by the number of QSL cards sent out by our members.

To view the effect over the past eleven years visit the FISTS QSL Bureau 
website <www.fistsburo.org> and click on the word "cards" in item 7

Hopefully when sunspots return consistently we will see more activity and we here 
at the Bureau can expect to handle more QSL cards.
