I'm flipping through the ham bands and it looks like they are firing

Ha- yeah I know what you mean - I've been listening also.

There are also sunspots.

Yeah right, like those sunspots affect anything at night!


Well, they do.

Otherwise, what's your explanation for the 1959/1960 sunspot peak when
20, 15 and 10 meters were open almost around the clock?

Just cuz it's dark in your back yard doesn't mean the other side of the
world is dark.
