Actually the hourly legal ID is supposed to be the call sign of whoever the 1x1 was assigned to. For example, K1N for the Navassa DXpedition was assigned to K4UEE and I actually did hear those ops (a

"Those of us that can hang on for another 30 years are forecast to enjoy a stronger Solar Cycle 27. Solar Cycles 28 (in the 2050s) and 29 (in the 2060s) are forecast to be even stronger..." Let's see
