Hi Paul, 


Please share with us the growing evidence that the next Sunspot 
Minimum may well herald the start of a Maunder Minimum. 


Thanks

It's interesting that there's now seeming growing evidence that the next Sunspot Minimum may well herald the start of a Maunder Minimum 

>From what I've read and understand the 11 year cycle effectively rides on yet another and somewhat longer cycle. As both now begin to combine on the downward slope our sunspot count can and will effectively fall off the proverbial cliff. 

So I guess it's goodbye HF hello LF. 

Whilst this maybe good for Topband Operations, I fear I may need to split my spare time between putting up a bigger wire.....and putting my chainsaw to good use building up the log pile ready for those extra long winters nights! 

But I suppose, every Snow Cloud has a Silver Lining.
