Looks promising on the graph, but personally I'm not hearin' much of the resulting improved DX, at least not yet.

I still am not hearing the results like I heard in 2011, when -- at least according to this graph -- the sunspot numbers were roughly comparable.... and this is with the same, or better equipment.

That said, the climb of sunspot numbers in this cycle appears less 'jumpy' than the previous one, so perhaps once it all kicks in we'll see more dependable long distance reception on HF and MW.

One can hope.

FWD, from K8RRT:   https://www.onallbands.com/solar-cycle-25-update-what-hams-should-know/   Just a slight warning that there's some DX Engineering pitching at the end of this.

I was asked if I liked the 80's pop band The Go-Go's, and I answered that I listened to them, like many other Top 40 pop bands of the time, so Eh. However, I did mention that I did kind of feel sorry for them, since I thought that the band members couldn't have sex. I was then asked, "What do you mean?" My reply was, "Duh... They sing about it themselves, their lips are sealed!".
