Hello to all,
In April I asked this reflector for opinions on whether this solar
minimum (2006 onward) is better or worse on 160m compared to the last
solar minimum (1995-1998).
The result of your inputs and some ionospheric physics is at
http://mysite.verizon.net/k9la/Is_This_Solar_Minimum_Better_or_Worse.pdf.
Please realize that the question "Is this solar min better or worse?" is
very subjective given the fact that we generally don't collect good
long-term data. So it's probably best to consider this a work in
progress for now. But it is interesting that there may be a physical
reason why this solar min is different than the last solar min.
Carl K9LA
