Just thinking about a cycle larger than 19 is exciting as it was truly amazing...and I just caught the downside of it. Being new to shortwave radio, I thought this was just ‘normal’ propagation ... not!

It sure sounds better than what most expect. I’m being hopeful since it’s likely the last cycle I’ll enjoy while still having my teeth. The new Cycle 25 hi-latitude spots showing up right now are an excellent sign. I’ll be looking for you in Nov 2024 👍👍Steve McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229640265009249231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380839830287420877.post-33292437884175423212020-07-29T14:52:32.427-07:002020-07-29T14:52:32.427-07:00I checked a few times to see if the publishing dat...I checked a few times to see if the publishing date wasn't April 1st.<br />I don't even DARE to believe this.
