And it is not consistent on the period of the sunspot activity. Some say 11 years others say 14 years. The honest answer is it varies somewhat. But it is what it is.

Amateur radio operator here too. BTW, I have couple of old Radio Handbooks from the 1930s to the 1950's and they mention there is a larger 22 year cycle too as well as one Freeper said a while back where he even heard of an 88 year cycle.

I have been a Ham for 50 years. I am not as active as I once was, but you can still find me once in a while on 3819 kHz.

I have operated about every mode including ATV, Slow Scan, Packet, RTTY, and Satellite. Even did moon bounce once on another’s station. Enjoy HF mobile most. It is a good way to pass the time on a trip.
