To see what this is like, [blue][i][b]go back almost ten years [/b][/i][/blue]to look at our propagation bulletins in September 1996. You can find archives of the old bulletins at <http://www.arrl.org/w1aw/prop/>http://www.arrl.org/w1aw/prop/ and click on propagation bulletins for [i][b]1996[/b][/i]. Look at [blue][i][b]bulletins between 39 and 43[/b][/i][/blue] and you will see weeks of reports such as, [red][i][b]sunspot numbers at "0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 and 0, with a mean of 0." [/b][/i][/red]These periods of low activity aren't good for the higher HF bands, but can be[blue][i][b] great for 160 and 80 meters[/b][/i][/blue].
