Better stalk up on plenty of firewood, heating oil, and alcoholic beverages, people. The Maunder Minimum is at hand. And it's going to be EFFFING COLD!!!!! Meanwhile, the criminals in Washington will ram "climate change" legislation down our collective throats based on a LIE!!!! And this country will suffer even more as a result. (nice going America, way to pick'em). And the DX on the bands will be few and far between. AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Vince..... I believe a chillpill is needed old man. DX is alive and well, at least here in Sunny and Hot South Carolina. If this is a Maunder minimum, its a wimp. I worked each and every one of the last group of expeditions, on several bands/modes (all but ZY0T, where I only got one Q).
I think you put too much faith in the highly educated(?) fearmongers who make a lot of $$ predicting solar inactivities. We dont have enough info (not nearly long enough) to use any kind of averaging methods, which is a lot of their baloney. Just hang in there, keep your station at ready and get ready for a booming cycle 24. I am hoping it will be one of the strongest yet. (And Oh, by the way, No black helicopters from D.C. seen here either.. hi hi) 73, Gene

and the list goes on....
September 19th I said the following and I continue to stand by it...
1.)Sunspots are not returing soon
2.)Scientist don't have a clue of what is going on.
3.)All information is 90% speculation.
Apparently few people remember the 199x-2000 fiasco
predicting massive events. Alas, the sun remained virtually silent.
Remember a few years back when a sunspot showed reverse polarity/polarization? Remember the talk and excitement? This was predicting that cycle 24 would be awesome; a massive event.
Well... that was a bust...
Here is where it began:

Sluggish flow?
Maybe a high-fiber diet and a mild laxative would solve the problem!!
(Sorry. Couldn't resist.)

It's ok if it is the Maunder Minimum. Don't forget we only have until 12/21/2012 to work DX as that is when the world is going to end. Just as it was going to happen because of the big computer crash in the year 2000. And so on and so on and so on.
Just remember it is called science for a reason. It is all just a theory until it is proven. The sun has been studied for thousands of years and until this day we do not know much about it. Any body can come up with a theory as too why the sunspot cycle has been so low still.
I even have a theory about it, the sun is getting ready to become a super nova in the next million years and the low sunspots is the start of it HAHAHAHA.

I wouldn't bet the farm on a strong Cycle 24, or any sort of Cycle 24. Not going to happen.
FYI, the Maunder Minimum lasted for 70 years so any minimum beginning now will take a few years to get going.
The article was kind of hard to read.
If we are dealing in facts, the last two sunspots were Cycle 23, making Cycle 23 the longest on record.
73, John

Take a look at the Cycle 23 to Cycle 24 graph, and you will see that what actually has occurred is that the sunspots have tracked the average prediction - the one between the high and the low.
If I had to bet I'd bet it won't be as bad as the most pessimistic prediction nor as great as the most optimistic prediction.
There will be plenty of sunspots - and for enough time for me to get to Honor Roll - I'm not worried at all.
Until then - work the new one's on the lower bands, but I've been hearing regular EU sigs on 20M just after our sunrise with great signals and little noise.
I haven't heard this in 2 years, nor have I heard the sigs as well on 12M as I have consistently lately.

N4CQR,
You need to post about the sunspots never coming back more often...because every time you do, a new spot pops up! :)

Good news, gents. As of now there is a real Sunspot (No. 1029)! See, everything is alright now. You'll be puttin' up that 10 meter bedspring in no time now, oh yes! No need to stockpile wood, coal, or booze! John

The solar flux is up to 76 and there is One Sunspot Group so Cycle 24 is rarin' to go! All that talk about solar minimums and moveable barycenters is just so much ka-ka. I'm chopping dowsn my 160 meter antenna and selling the radials for scrap.
I'll be working Pentincton Canada from SoCal on Six any day now. Oh, yes! Hi-hi, 73, John

I'm still sticking with the sky guys in Australia.
They say that we will be in a low spot roller coaster cycle until April or May of 2010.
After that then thing will start to perking up very fast then peak out 2012 or early 2013 and we will be lucky to peak out with 120 spots.

Whether the weather be fine
Or whether the weather be not
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not.
