Solar Cycle 25 is well underway with Sunspot Numbers at values not seen in six years! (Above the prediction for this early in the cycle 25). I’ve been having fun on all the higher frequency bands recently, with 10/12/15 open at least part of the late morning and afternoon every day.

I continue to try and reach my goal of 1500 band-points for the DXCC Challenge. A day ago, I was sitting at 1486. By today, I’m at 1495. I can’t remember a time that I’ve picked up so many confirmations in a day or two. With 14 more Qs waiting for confirmation including 7 from the excellent 3DA0RU DXpedition, it seems that 1500 might happen before the end of the year.
