the November 2020 numbers were great to see, wonder how long it will be before we get there again?
... we do appear to still be trending slightly above the predicted cycle 25 values:

The bands are pretty dead on the west coast of NA - I forgot what a good solar storm means.  Nice to see the sun starting to awaken...

looking at the beginning of cycle 24 and comparing it to the beginning of cycle 25 makes me optimistic:

Here in northwest Oregon we are just starting to receive 10 meter FM openings to Asia, although I have had numerous CW and SSB contacts for the past year to Japan, Guam, Ogasawara Island, ZL, VK, KH6, FK8 this past week was the first time that we had solid asia signals on 10 meter FM.

This past sunday another ham and myself in Northwest Oregon heard for the first time non ham intruders which were determined to be North Korean squid fishing boats operating near the asiatic Russian coast, north of Japan, operating on 28.175 and 28.275 MHz FM.

 Even though they were not ham stations and probably coming in on multihop sparodic E, it was still interesting listening to these NK fishing boats fading in and out for over 2 hours on 10 meters.

Solar Ham is has news that says there are large CME's on the far side of the sun and that maybe something to look forward to in the days ahead.

cycle 25 seems to be continuing to outperform the less-than-exciting predicted curve(s)

so far at least, cycle 25 continues to outperform the less-than-exciting predicted curve --

Quote from: https://www.solarham.net
"it is nice to see both northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere sunspots continually forming at the same time. The previous Cycle 24 was quite out of sync with northern hemisphere spots peaking well before the south. If this current trend continues, it could lead towards what many are hoping, a stronger than expected Cycle 25. So far the numbers are promising." -- Solar Ham Website
