Low sunspot activity boosts digital communications
Hello fellow Hams.
One of the reasons I developed HamSphere - the virtual Ionosphere, was the lack of sun spot activity. And I expected the system to hold for say a few years, and then gradually see a declining amount of users as the real shortwave ham radio bands woke up again. But I picked up a QSO on HamSphere the other day regarding sun spots. And I couldn't beleive my ears. They said that the sun spots might even disappear??? The sun's activity seems to be the lowest in many decades. I haven't been on shortwave lately, but is it really that bad propagation people say?
