I believe they had predicted several years ago that this cycle would be a weak one.
My first cycle was a good one, back when I was a kid. I worked the world on 50 Watts.
My last cycle was a good one, where I worked from Texas to California on less than 4 watts of FM. FM, not CW.
And this cycle, probably my last one.. it's gonna be a weak one.
Oh well. I got some good cycles out of it and got to talk the world.
73's all.
