We all heard and read about how we were going to have really good solar activity. New research data has scientists wondering if the opposite might be true. I've attached the link. The Maunder Minimum was called the Little Ice Age. It was a period of low solar activity between 1645-1715, and while subtle, a small drop in temperature caused drastic changes in the world. We might be headed for a second one. By chance, I watched a television show on the effects of the Maunder Minimum just the other night. The story is definitely worth reading.

About Me
- Steve, KJ4KKI
- Welcome to my little piece of the cyberworld. I am an Amateur Extra Class ham radio operator from Kentucky. In addition to ham radio, other interests include paddling kayaks and canoes, camping, flyfishing, shooting and photography...I am a major Jimmy Buffett fan (fans are known as Parrotheads). But, location, work and finances sort of got in the way of being a beach bum as a career. I am also an animal lover and have several pets. I also have a Facebook page at steve.kj4kki.
