There is no doubt (from my experience) that propagtion in this region of the spectrum is much, much better during sunspot minima years - hopefully it translates into improved LF condx for 136. I think there will be some really great propagation in the years coming and along with the new modes (QRSS/WOLF etc) some of the present distance records will be shattered. Steve / VE7SL
