Having been a topbander through 4 or more solar peaks and valleys, this
last peak is the only one where there were truly doldrums in 160m
propagation from the western US to Europe. In all of the other cycles,
activity and DX definitely varied with the ham migration to and from 160m
and the higher frequencies, and sunspots didn't seem to make that much
difference.
