10 meters is smokin'
- Thread starter RatsoW8
- Start date
Damn. I have yet to work Antarctica from my QTH in San Francisco. Farthest south I've gotten is the Falkland Islands (on 20 meters).
Both 10 and 12 meters were really open this weekend. I worked Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, the UK, Serbia, Croatia, Russia, Hungary, Guam and Japan.
I heard a large pileup on 10 for a station in Saudi Arabia, but I couldn't copy him at all.
I wish I had more antenna and less static.

I worked DP0GVN on both 20 and 15 meters over the weekend here in AZ, Watch the spotter he has been out there a LOT
Driving home from work a few minutes ago, I heard a full net going on 28.450 USB clear as day. They were on the east coast I think from SC.
Got a pleasant surprise this weekend. Found out my 80 meter inverted V loads up on 12 meters, quite well. Worked quite a few Europeans on 12, with 100 watts and 80 inverted V at 55'
10 METERS STILL RED HOT
