Goodbye Solar Cycle 24

Goodbye Solar Cycle 24, you were fun while you lasted!

Propagation is really impacting the K5P (Palmyra Island), VP8STI (South Sandwich Island), and VP8SGI (South Georgia Island), DXpeditions.

I note that solar levels appear to be somewhat higher than when I got back on the air five years ago, but that is somewhat misleading due to the “average” in the graph being a trailing one.  Still it looks like there is about another year before things really drop off, then five years of doldrums before things pick up again in Cycle 25.
