My wife watched  a program r/e Nostradamus, the Myans and 2012, on the History Channel.  After a good hour explaining that the world wasn't going to end in 2012 (them Myans diden't even have wheels)... now the Sunspots not coming out and that Muldaur chick.


Sunspots cast a glare in my eyes.
Sometimes, I forget I'm alive.
I feel it coming and I've gotta get out of its way,
I hear it calling and I come 'cause I can't disobey -
I should not listen and I shouldn't believe but I do,
yes I do.

She turns me on,
she makes it real.
I have to apologize
for the way I feel.

And yet, at 1:00 PM, 4/21/10, lots of 10 meter contacts between Europe and South America, and Africa and South America. Lack of sunspots doesn't mean you can't work DX. Lots of other propagation don't rely on sunspot activity.
