Aren't we still quite a way from minimum Walt? I think 2008 and 2009 were our minimum years last time, and even if the cycle is a normal one , that's still a couple of years to go to the minimum of this one.Because it's been such an unusual cycle anyway (low maximum, which can mean a longer

Yup - that one tool that makes our lives that much easier - the FishBarrel - was kind of slumped over last night around 0400 UTC - did not last very long - I think that Nick can reset it remotely. Yea - there were spots this morning that were on fire - but they were fewer than yesterday. Yesterda

At the dials this morning, and didn't think things were as hot as they were yesterday. Continued all Asian. Checked for the new Aussie low power SW outlets on 5045 and 5055 and nothing heard, whereas they were coming in nicely into Don Moman's remote Perseus receivers at the same time. I also
