Hmmmmm,

As of today (6 Oct 08) {yes I'm still stuck on the solar cycle!!!}

Nasa has revised (again) the ramp up predictions for solar cycle 24.

 Especially notable since the sun has again gone blank!.

Blank Sun Again

See this article and the responses on Whatsupwiththat.com

also here 'May' be more information

Here is a little tongue in cheek about it all

Now having added all that as well as most of the other non-information to be found on our pages (hi hi)

There seems to be one thing that Nasa and David Hathaway are NOT doing, they move the start back, but so far HAVE NOT CHANGED THE PEAK timeframe (link).

As this gets more and more notice by the 'Mainstream' media (see this article from the N.Y. times) 

There seems to be something going on but I personally am not sure what the true significance is, but leads us to

THIS article and it's associated charts and ???? on global warming ..... not happening ?????

Here at NASA's Solar prediction center can be found a chart showing  a delay in the rampup of the solar cycle (what has actually been seen and what was predicted).

And  here is a page FULL of stuff from Leif Svalgaard (researcher)

And Finally it all shows something going on but NO-ONE is sure as to what is happening. Keep watching and hoping for improvement in conditions for HF Propagation!!!!!....

Until I get another Bright Idea Keep on Hamming!
