At TX3X we had some
of the worst conditions in recent memory during a
DXpedition. The K never fell below 4 the entire 10 days we
were QRV and yet we made over 50,000 QSO's!
There
was always a band open somewhere. The bands will surprise
you with some really unusual openings when the K is high
too, especially the high bands.
Don't give up. Get on
and CQ, you might be very surprised.

Good bye
contest! A K of 6 that will pretty much shut things
down, but the low bands may work better.
