George McClintock informs me before 1600 that will try 9475 again later today. Good news: the factory in Germany is so concerned about the failure of their transmitter that they are sending someone over next week to work on it. The other transmitter, #1 is a ``total disaster, fell apart``, and there is no one to blame but -- you know who. 5085 only is again on air at 0130 check August 23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

Before the cycle commenced, experts were predicting it would be one of the weakest cycles in centuries. Well, cycle 25 has confounded the experts. Solar flux above 300. I'm making the best of it because I'm now at an age when this may well be the last Solar Max I get to experience. Thanks for all your valuable information.
