All I know is that I've been through a lot of solar cycles, and they always predict this or that is going to happen. In the end, it usually turns out that the predictors don't have a clue about what is going to happen. At least we should have some extended period of better lower frequency propagation, and that's good for us :) with the delayed start of the new cycle.
