All I know is that I've been through a lot of solar cycles, and they 
always predict this or that is going to happen. In the end, it usually 
turns out that the predictors don't have a clue about what is going to 
happen.

At least we should have some extended period of better lower frequency 
propagation, and that's good for us :) with the delayed start of the new 
cycle.
