This weekend will be the annual ARRL 10 Meter contest.
Now is a good time, with the band wide open like it hasn't been in years, to encourage those Novice & Tech ops who haven't had a taste of good DX (or any DX) on the band to get active, even if for a short time.
It should be very possible to work DXCC in just a few hours over the weekend, as quite a few did so during both legs (modes) of the CQ WW in October & November.
I plan to be on CW only. My friend Bill W3WH is also planning to be on, either mixed or CW only (he is going to be looking to finish off 10 Meter DXCC as well). Keep an ear out for us.
And... my friend and co-worker, Ben KB3ERQ, ought to be on SSB only. (He'd better; I just loaned him my TS-520, gave him a pile of coax and an AEA antenna tuner (w/ SWR bridge & switch! ), and he's supposed to be borrowing the club's 10 meter Ringo tonight.) So if you hear him on, please give him a call as well.
