I was just about to go out to the shack to check the 10m action. I'm guessing that, here in Six Land, there will be a bit of it than in Wiscowsin. You want to see if we can get a QSO going?

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Very faint just now . I'll try again in an hour or so .

There is always tomorrow.
Didn't have a chance to get on yesterday. Didn't hear a thing on SSB today. Worked about 20 stations on CW, a bunch in Florida, two Texans, a handful in Washington and BC, some Californias, and some Central Americans. Never heard Mexico, the Caribbean, let alone Europe.Originally Posted by KB3LIX
Took a break to take care of some family matters, and 20 minutes later, the band is totally dead here.
So it goes, at the bottom of the cycle.
OTOH, I did get to see the replay of Troy Polamalu's interception of Carson Palmer. Nice!

Try again. I'm hearing stuff here in DE. Brazil on phone, at least.

Can't make a sked, I'm QRP and that means unassisted. I'd think you would be spoiled for choice with the addition of the Mexican States.
I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.
Actually, I'm not participating in the contest but I'd recently built a 10m wire dipole and was just curious to see if we could QSO at that distance. After going out in the shack and listening for a while, it became obvious that it wouldn't have worked. I heard a couple of stations out of northern CA and Oregon and that was it. Nothing at all out of Mexico. I think I'd need something with a little bit of gain over a dipole if I expect to work 10m DX under the current propagation conditions.

It will take a leetle work to find the sweet spot, OCF folded dipole set up near vertical or as a sloper. Sweet spot is like 2/3 element on one side and 1/3 element on the other. Where it gives you the best performance could be 6 inches to the left or right of where you attach your window line to the folded dipole part. Feed it with a halfwave length of window line.
Anyone have any other sugg est ions?
Yeah. Wait for the solar flux to get above 95 before you bother with 10m.
