        It's looking more and more like Sunspot Cycle 23's peak was
April 2000.  See "Monthly solar data" at the bottom of this page:

and also the text and graph on this page:

        This year's CQ 160 scores were also well above last year which is 
a good indicator that conditions are on the upswing for us Topbanders.
I'm already looking forward to the bottom around 2006/7!
