[Elecraft] OT: Poor band conditions

[Keith Hutt]

Personally i find the best way to turn on the radio spin the VFO and put out 
a few calls.

Far more accurate than the so called "Band Propagation" tools.

Many times the internet has said Band conditions Useless, take up knitting 
or something,
when in actual fact the bands are open.

How on earth did we manage before the internet to see what conditions were 
like?

So many operators seem to be of the attitude "The internet says bands are 
poor" it must be so.

Maybe I'm a dinosaur but no internet in my shack its 60 yds from the house 
and you know what i still make contacts every day.
Despite hearing comments of, i could not survive without high speed internet 
etc etc in the shack it tells me when bands are open
shows me who I'm working etc etc.

Regards
