... I'm running out of time, as are we all. I'd
like for this Cycle to come forth ...

I'll be 66 in a few weeks. If I have to wait for Cycle 25 to peak,
that'll
put me beyond 80. But even with poor propagation, it's never zero,
especially on 20m and below, so I do what I can.

I enjoyed a few days of good propagation on 10m last year and I worked
into
South America barefoot. The antenna was a dipole made of TV antenna
elements bolted together and laying on the garage roof. Really.

I understand your thought, Sam. And you are right. Make do with what you
have and have a great time anyway.
