Their Solar Cycle Progression page is up-to-date. With the slider below each chart you can go back as far as 1750. Check out Cycle 19. I was born near the peak (TRGHS). Pete was on the air during that cycle. Cycle 23 also looked pretty good. I was out in the Azores then (2000-2003) -- no wonder I could work VK and ZL with a 5 watt DSB rig.
I like the little solar conditions widget that has appeared in the left hand column of this page, and I am grateful to the provider, but the widget just doesn't update regularly. So I think I'm going to switch to a link from the Space Weather Prediction Center that shows the numbers we really need: Solar Flux Index (SFI), Sunspot Number (SN), A index, K index. (Please let me know what you think about this change.)
Here is the link to the Solar Cycle Progression Charts (be sure to use the sliders):
