Late October certainly changes the sunlight factor.  CQWW SSB certainly more 
popular than the RYRY test.  I would say the major fear regarding CQWW SSB is 
the fact that it’s going to be exactly 28 or 29 days since CQWW RYRY.  The sun 
rotates too and We should be getting a similar look from the sun in CQWW SSB as 
we did in the RYRY event.

20 meters is going to be hell.....
