Hi Alan.

As you say, the propagation season really isn't a 'season' anymore. I remember Jim telling us about his QSO with VO1NA last summer when we were at Rugby. But based on the comments of the team who went to D68 in 2001, the static level on top band was very high for over 75% of the trip. It's no coincidence that medium wave broadcasting is almost non existent near the equator.

Forgive me for wishing for some unusually high sunspot activity in March / April.  It would be nice to have some good propagation on 10 and 6m during our stay in 3B9.
