All the action is FT8. I've made close to 20 QSOs today -- FL, GA, MS, 
LA, TX, OR, AZ, JA.

Earlier today, the QSO map showed a lot of the eastern US working EU.

There's been plenty of action on SSB and CW today. I made multiple contacts on 
both modes, including a nice 10-minute chat with a station 1,000 miles away. 
I'm using only a dipole on my end. 

The beauty of CW and SSB is that you don't need one of those "computer" 
thingies. Just turn on the rig :)

   Hmmm..Let me see if I understand this concept Wayne. Your talking just 
an Antenna, a radio and a mic or key   I don’t know man..you might sell 
that to us old timers but... I’m not sure how that’s gonna go over with the 
younger crowd better run it up the old flag pole and see how many salute. :)

Really?  I heard lots of stations on SSB around 1700Z even with my old deaf K3 
and a triband beam. Only tried to worked one station in CO but heard TX, ID, CA, WA.
