[Elecraft] no spots? just wait until the weekend!

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Lack of spots has never stopped DX contesting.  Tune in this weekend
for the CQWW DX SSB contest (yeah, it is phone...ugh).  You'll be
dazzled by all the DX on 20, 15, and maybe even some "good" stuff on
10 if you are there enough (not just trans-equatorial).

As for the sun...here is today's photo (left hand column).

There will be LOTS of QRPers on during the CQWW DX test and many of
them will work DXCC, despite "no spots."

My K2 doesn't have an SSB module and my K3 is still in-utero, so I'll
be using my FT817 which came with a mic and the means to use it.  Now
let's see...where did I put my voice keyer?
