The present sunspots facing the earth is about to disappear to the other side. No indications of other sunspots forming on the present earth side. Last year, there were no days of zero sunspots, and the peak is suppose to occur next year.

Its been a weird cycle, thats for sure!
The louder the monkey, the smaller its balls.
Cool, just in time for Field Day!
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Those are the breaks.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
An awful lot of FD hours are at nighttime. So 160/80/75/40 propagation in the middle of the night may be pretty good.

40 decent last night South America was loud in Europe, 160 just local EU contacts, 80 was a bummer.
40 closed now, locally and EU,160 just groundwave up to 100 miles out, 80 dead as a dodo. 20 EU, higher bands closed.

It is amazing being a year away from peak to see a nearly blank sun.
Looking like a line of sight and groundwave FD this year....
Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
I was working South America on 20 last night and had no trouble reaching the east coast this morning. Sunspots are significant but not the whole enchalada when it comes to propagation.

Must be contest conditions, heard some EU traffic on 10 and 15 was open as well.
