The bandscope is also excellent for finding when a band is open in the
first place, especially at this low point of the solar cycle. Just go
to ten meters and watch it for about 10-15 seconds. If anyone is
there, you will see them. It would take you several minutes of careful
manual tuning to reach the same conclusion.
