Never been a better time to get into HF communications I think.

Also because the sun is in the middle of some kind of ~10 year cycle that means a ton of sun spots! That makes propagation go further.

Yeah, we're not too too far removed from the last solar minimum either, so we got a good deal of solar cycle left before the next minimum too. I say this all the time but hams are the coolest sun worshiping group I've ever been a part of.
