Jeremy,
Call???
The connection between sunspot activities and planetary temperatures is hotly debated. There is LOTS of information out there on it. I was just commenting on the ham aspects, as some of the others quickly lead to highly political, and politicized, issues.

PS I already have lots of stacked wood. ;)

If this is true, the last thing I am worried about is DX, I saw a tv show that talked about the mini ice age in the 1800's and they mentioned the cause was a lack of solar activity. Time to be cutting a lot of wood and buying more blankets if this is going to go on for 2 decades. The show had to be on Discovery or History channel.
I haven't googled this(yet), but there has to be a trend and when did the decline start(sunspots)? _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
