Hi Don,

I sure hope you are correct!  The thought that this might be my last
cycle is very depressing.

There have been several M class flares in the past five days, but the forecast is for low A and K index numbers this weekend and a SFI of around 140. Even though this isn't a great number, it should be enough to allow paths on ten meters this weekend.
