I almost never bother look on 10m for contest contacts, but today's been interesting. Several Qs to the West Coast today for the JARTS contest:
17-Oct-2010 19:17:12 28078.7 RTTY VE7AX
17-Oct-2010 19:31:06 28081.1 RTTY VE7BSM
17-Oct-2010 19:51:34 28087.7 RTTY WN6K
17-Oct-2010 19:55:27 28087.3 RTTY N6PE
17-Oct-2010 19:58:22 28084.1 RTTY W7OM
Interesting tidbit; the two VE7s are in the same town.
Still trolling 10m for a few more minutes, but I think I'm just about done on 10m.

Fifteen was not as bad as I thought it would be, and FY5FY has a big pile up right now on 24.956.3.
There's a fury of activity on 12m. Just work PJ6A with 2.5 watts.

I found some activity on 10...FINALLY !!!
22 Q's 7 Countries and 3 Sections
Could have been worse !!!
Yup, could've been a LOT worse. ;)
I had already worked FY on three bands in the past, so I called a few times then moved on. When I did come across him, it was a pile-up reminiscent of the Peter I Island pile-ups and I was kind of surprised that Didier (if I recall his name properly) was not working split. He had a marvelous signal into MD, so I am sure also into DE, neighbor.It took all 100 watts to break that pile-up.
The 'Bowl was rolling in earnest yesterday morning and that was my first clue as to the opening which was to unfold on 10.
Sadly, I missed working any of it. Got into some reloading, auto body and motorcycle projects along with general household hoo-hah.
There was a considerable amount of activity throughout the 24-30MHz spectrum into late evening.
This afternoon should be good to play radio. Nothing planned thus far except for a bit of grocery shopping when 'DSG returns home from work.

Stumbled across Saba (PJ6A) this morning on 24.951.50 (listening up three) and nailed it on third call.
Just got 5V7TT barefoot on 14.320.00 -- Silvano working simplex.
