Now I'm really confused.
Didn't nasa and some other world renouned scientific organization just 
release a study not long ago that said we were supposed to get some sort of 
major solar activity in 2012? the biggest since the 1800's?
And I've read no fewer than 5 different articles on how this current cycle, 
24, is supposed to have the most solar activity in several cycles or some 
such.
Now another study, 3 actually, come out saying the opposite.
This leads me to believe that scientists don't actually know what will 
happen at all.  But, bassed on limited prior experience, are trying to make 
predictions.
All I know is that dx has gotten somewhat better over the past year and a 
half.
So something is ramping up...
But apparently good DX, or at least, better dx, is no indicator of what the 
sun is doing, or will do...they have to look at jet streams and earth 
surface temperature averages and that kind of thing to determine what the 
suns doing hi hi.
I'm no expert obviously, but I can see that there are certainly conflicting 
views with regard to what may or may not occur.
All of them with very logical, rational and reasonable facts and numbers to 
support their findings or hypothesis.
