Early reports say Solar Cycle 25 is to exceed expectations, but we’re not anywhere near the peak of the cycle yet – predicted for mid 2025.

So will you take full advantage of the time between now and then to upgrade your station so you are READY for Solar Cycle 25? Steve KM9G @Temporarily Offline Ham Radio and myself will go through how the cycle is currently tracking, what the numbers are looking like, what to expect and ways to be prepared for when that DX rolls in!

Sky 10: Total Frustration and Really Bad Landings

Post author By admin
Post date April 21, 2022

Another video showing how much work I need on landings. Here are seven. One was pretty good, one was awful, and the others were downright mediocre. I think my instructor had intended to solo me today, but after these landings, that’s put off until I can be more consistent (consistently good, not consistently bad).
