[IRCA] Fwd: Topband: Its not over until its over

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

For those interested in propagation, the following may be of 
interest, from the Topband mailing list.

(and I suspect elsewhere, without the "we told you so" comments, hi)

This could have effects far beyond MW propagation, and I suspect that 
it is the first time that mainstream solar scientists have addressed 
this possibility, after failing rather spectacularly to predict how 
this present solar cycle would progress.   Could be interesting times.

best wishes,

Nick
