Re: [IRCA] latest solar cycle prediction

2012-05-04 Thread Thomas F. Giella
For what it's worth, when the solar cycle 24 forecasts began coming out back in 2008, I forecasted that it would be the smallest solar cycle in 100 years. At the time almost all of the other forecasts were for a large cycle. You can see my discussions at http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o4.htm .

Hello To All, A few evenings ago and also this evening at 23:50 UTC I have been hearing a station on 760 in what seems to be Arabic with mentions tonight of Bahrain and other other Arabic talk, it seems to peak and then eventually fade away even on the Kenwood R-5000 before any ID possible

The requirement that an expanded band station licensee, in order to reduce the congestion on the AM band, must surrender the license of one of its two stations at the end of five years, was a joke. Most stations ignored it with impunity. The ones who complied and turned in a valuable license
