At the bottom of the solar cycle during the month of the winter solstice, there are two contests that span the limits of our MF/HF spectrum. The ARRL 160 Meter Contest ran last weekend and conditions were expected to be excellent. The other is the ARRL 10 Meter Contest -- what's up with that being in December? Will there be anybody to work? Technicians should take advantage of their 10 meter privileges and find that a band completely devoid of activity on a weekday that suddenly springs to life at 0000 UTC this coming Friday. Find out a lot about propagation, the subject of this month's ARRL Web quiz!
