I remember the solar cycle that peaked around 1968 wasn't much of a cycle, and it followed the strongest one of the 20th century. The next one was predicted to be even weaker, instead it rose quickly after the minimum in 1976, in 1977 I was hearing stations using 25 mhz. The cycle after that was nearly as good, peaking in 1989, then came one like the 1960s cycle, and it's been downhill since. It's hard to describe how good it was then, that it was hard to listen sometimes because EVERYTHING was coming in at once. Of course, there were lots of storms, too.
