Is it time yet??


Yeah i would like to give it a go...
Would it still be 10 meters or are we going for 15 or 20?
10 has been dead over here. Not a peep
 
more bands would be great

I agree also...I think a 40m/15m setup would be interesting...Since a 40m dipole can be used by most on 15m also....make an interesting combo...
Plus with the distance changes 40m goes through during the daylight to dark hours just about all parts of N.AM would be accessible to most if they watch the DX Chat and schedule their OP time with different parts of the bandshift....
15m + (40m grayline to Sunrise here) would give All our great DX op's a real chance to get involved IMO...never know
See how this thread plays out this weekend....
All the Best
