Whereas the correlation that Laurie described is T/A success when sunspot numbers are low. My guess is that both are probably true, i.e. on average T/A signal levels are better during the active part of the cycle, but conversely weak signals are more likely to be disrupted during the active part. We will probably find that at the low point of the cycle chances of getting across are worse but consistently worse, if you follow me. 73, John _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/
