“Why should I stay up nights worrying about something I can do absolutely nothing about.?”
Speaking as a Ham operator, I’ve been waiting 6 years for the start of sunspots. Worry? Ha.
Although I thoroughly encourage those that are deeply concerned to keep all their electronic devices in their refrigerator. The metal skin will protect them from the damaging solar rays.
I put my radio inside my freezer and now I can barely hear it.
Gotta’ be the sunspots.
Obviously we're just in the beginnig (a late beginning at that!) of the next cycle. The other night I managed to get Switzerland, France, Italy and Germany on 40Meters. Typically that's very hard to do here in 9-land in the evening hours.
BTW, any ham operators on FR members of the 3905 Century Club?
