Sounds like the height of the solar cycle opening. Just a fluke?

[NQ6U]

I need a better god-damned 10m antenna. I can hear stations from all over but none of 'em can hear me—talk about frustrating.

[W7XF]

Im in the truck on my way to el paso ...name a freq :)

[W3WN]

try 28.335 Ill listen there for awhile.

[NQ6U]

Can't do it tonight, we're leaving to see a show as soon as the XYL gets off the phone, but I think I'm going to put together a 10m Moxon tomorrow. I think I have enough stuff around the joint to pull it off.

[W2NAP]

well if the band is open tomar. ill see if i can hang out somewhere. I should have not much of a issue hearing you in CA. seems even the tiny qrp guys in 6 land have been coming in good. managed to talk to WIK for a few mins on 10 today

Alaska on 28.390

[WØTKX]

Tried to get that AK, moved down to 28.335 and called CQ.

Worked Vermont and FL quickly, now there are noisy neighbors, I'm at 28.337 calling SEEECUUUUUEEE

yea I had that problem earlier.. was down there when I dropped the key I got hollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllla hollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllla hollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllla

said screw it moved on. and it was the same prick that did it to me and a couple local guys earlier in the day there

[WØTKX]

I moved to 29.05. East coast AM'ers, but they are fading now. Made brief contact with them.

Get a chuckle out of running an SDR rig on AM. It works well, most of the other folks are running boat anchors.

[N7YA]

I logged nearly 40 beacons today. I have tomorrow off, i will be on 10 if anyone wants to give CW a go...most of the qrm there is only incidental since they cant intentionally bother you on code with their 'hola's and echoplexes. Of course, i will certainly adjust my speed if need be...hell, you may be faster than me anyway.

[kc7jty]

strictly phone mamon.

[N7YA]

Well, i do have a mic, i guess i can swing up to the ghetto for a bit.

[W2NAP]

yea I dont have a key. or know enough code to do cw. (winter project) could do voice on 10 if its open

[N7YA]

I have to remember that im a practitioner of a dead craft.

[W3WN]

strictly phone mamon.Your loss.

[W3WN]

I have to remember that im a practitioner of a dead craft.Hmmmm. That might make a great Halloween display. A Zombie or a skeleton sending CW.

But then I'd have to leave my J-38 out in the weather. Nah.

[WØTKX]

Or maybe "Thing Adams". :mrgreen:

[N7YA]

The beacon band sounded like a contest! I worked Jamaica and Guam, and im still hearing tons of loud sigs on 10. Are you guys getting any of this stuff on there?

[KC9ECI]

The RTTY contest was incredible on 10M. K1SFA was posting that she had over 1000Q's in the log just on 10M. I trolled the band working who and what I could. I even heard JA's on 10. 12 has been good today for some post work JT65.

[WØTKX]

Just got home, listening around 28.310. Band is not as crazy as yesterday, but it's open.

I might wander to 12 or 15 soon, just to check it out.

[KC9ECI]

I'm sending the wife and younget to the UK today for two weeks...there is going to be some serious shack time going on here. I hope 10 and 12 stay open.

[kc7jty]

I've got 4 land comin in here over 9 today (Tues) on 10. What freq u on Chaz?

[kc7jty]

Good contact on 28.34 Chaz. Mebbe we can get something going regularly.

[W2NAP]

10 is still going. not as good as a couple days ago but still there

[kc7jty]

Had 2 solid 10 minute rag chews to SC & TX today. Reminded me how good a decent band opening on 10 can be. Let's hope it isn't just a flash in the pan.

[W2NAP]

aint hearing anything on 10 here today it seems
