Wow!
Through thick fog cover this morning, I saw Venus in the final stages of her transit 'across' the Sun.
I was driving north along I-81 when I got the 'bright' idea to have a look at the Sun and...there she was!
Just below center and near the 'west'side(right side as viewed from here on Earth) of the Sun's disk. This was at about 6:30 EDT (10:30Z).

QRP connection:
My trusty mobile...1993 pickup, will surpass a quarter-million miles late this year or early next and I'm thinking about celebrating with a Rock-Mite-mobile 'event'.
72!
