[Elecraft] No Sun Spot DX

[Julian G4ILO]

I ran the beacon monitor Faros by VE3NEA for a few weeks and it was
quite amazing how often DX beacons were detected even on the higher HF
bands even using my modest antenna. I would have loved to be able to
have it running 24/7. It was a real eye-opener. But of course, you
can't work beacons...
