Default Work DX even in low sun spot cycles


Hi fellow HAM.

I am the developer of HamSphere, the virtual Ionosphere for radio
amateurs.
I had a user on the system the other day telling me he had worked over
70 countries on HamSphere. I thought that was a real achievement. But
when I got to think about it, the system has almost 14000 users, so
why not. It should be possible. Anyway, if you are interested in
working real good DX stations, you might want to try the system out. I
was determined that the system would hold for a year or two and then
get scrapped due to high sun spot activity, thus a higher real
shortwave band activity, but when I read about the quiet sun I am not
so convinced. The sun seems to be very tired and probably needs some
sleep.
