[Elecraft] DZOTA: Dead Zones On The Air

[stephen shearer]

Don't forget the east coast "National Radio Quiet Zone (NRQZ)"...  I 
have a star party (https://www.ahsp.org/, on my list of things to do) 
and I checked on the use of HF radio in the zone.  Unless I was looking 
at the wrong place, you can use radio in the zone unless you are at the 
telescopes or UHF/microwave. I only found a reference to a "permit" for 
fixed ham station like repeaters.  Can you say East Coast Dead Zone...  
is there going to be a DZSOTA ??
