Topband: 160m activity and propagation

[David Olean]

Years ago, I think the correction was more like 17 degrees in New 
England.  I did some work on the geomagnetic field some years ago, and 
remembered getting magnetic variations for London, England over the last 
few  centuries. The pole really does move.

YEAR   DECL.
