It's been a long, long time (1990's?) since I tried to listen for low-band skip (30 ~ 50mhz). There used to be an eleven year cycle for peak ducting. Can anyone tell me when the next peak will be?
I realize that in the past thirty years, many low band agencies and businesses have transitioned to high band, UHF, or 700 ~ 900mhz systems. But I'd still like to see what I can get, when the conditions are ripe.
Thanks.

Peak flux should be 2024/2025. I just do start getting spikes above the noise floor about 1500 ut here in the northwest.
lingers til about 0300.
I don't receive a lot, always wrong time, wrong band.
