As always, thanks for the forecast. Wish the news was better for amateur radio but I'm glad to know that we're nearing (finally) cycle 25.
Even in such poor conditions, the bands are still quite active netting great contacts all the way up to 10/12 meters. With my small pistol station I worked VP6R on 12-80 and D68CCC on 15 CW/SSB up to 40CW so far. Heard both on 10m but they didn't hear me through the EU/JA wall.
At the moment my Condo has scaffolding around it, adding to the already poor conditions. Now and again I get some good days. Seem to get out , but receiving signals is not so good at the moment. Roll on end of this month when all the scaffolding comes down. Unfortunately where I live I have to use indoor antennas which doesn't help.
