Phil,

Yes.  I have seen NASA's and other articles to that effect.  Most recently I
saw a NASA spaceweather article about the shift in the solar "jet stream"
having just arrived at the 20 degree latitude point on the sun which is the
position below which sunspots appear.  I'm going on memory here and may not
have the story accuratly but the gist of it is that we should now start
seeing more sunspots.  The solar "jet stream" moves south to north and back
again on an 11 year cycle and its position south of 20 degrees latitude
signals the creation of sunspots.

I also do not get to my radio very often and have been operating psk mostly
recently.  What I have seen in activity in the evenings is that 20 has been
staying open a lot later than previously and the activity on 40 digital has
jsut not developed.  It would appear that the operators are staying on 20
until tehy shut down.  I have made several contacts into the Ukrane at
around 5000 miles on the 40 watts and that is on my Butternut vertical
hiding in the trees down in the ditch behind my house (the tip of the
antenna is about level with my front yard)..

10 has been open the past couple of weeks also (on phone even).
