Sunspots for CQ-WW-DX-SSB
Sunspots may be overrated; in the same sense that 1929-1934 or so was called a 'Depression'. If everybody gets the idea that there are no sunspots, and therefore no propagation, they'll listen in the hope of an opening, but *Won't Transmit*, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy!

No sunspots for the CQWW SSB
The power of positive thinking prevails...we WILL have 80 meters...and maybe even a short 160 meter opening to Central Asia!

15m opening
The stations are developing so we do no longer really need a direct path opening between Europe and North America's Eastern parts.
A decent amount of antenna gain at each end provides to contacts almost regardless conditions.
That is, we can get some QSOs through.
But real good runs need more than 0,73 sunspots.
I hope the SFI will be at 75-85 level. That would produce great conditions if compared to anything we have had during the last couple of years.
