New technician, wondering about where to start hunting QSO's on 10M. I'm only a tech, so I'm limited to SSB between 28.3 and 28.5MHz on phone, and I've got an old HR2510 that doesn't have a waterfall or anything to look for activity. I have read that 28.4MHz is a calling frequency common on 10 meters. Any tips for a noob? Just get on 28.4MHz and start calling CQ? Are there other freq's on 10M that are "popular" I could monitor for activity?

Most 10m ssb traffic is within that range.
Check out ten-ten.org. This is a national 10 meter organization and they have info on various nets, etc. Keep a log of your contacts and you can submit it and get your own 10-10 number. The 10 meter net where I am (Alabama) is on 28.350.
hr 2510 is a great 10 meter radio.i run a radioshack htx 100 made by same company almost identical.
10 meters is kinda like fishing if your in certain areas but its a set n wait kinda thing. sunspots are opening up some.
made a few contacs monday morning on 28.401 and 28.415.GOOD LUCK N WELCOME HERE ALSO

28.400 then "up 10" to 28.410 etc. Easiest just to monitor 28.400 for a band opening before shouting CQ into the wind.
Or monitor 11m for openings and when you hear one start calling CQ on 28.4
if you're looking for openings into specific areas of the country or the world you may want to try monitoring the 10 meter beacons in and around the areas you are interested in.

I run an RTL-SDR usb dongle on my PC, and SDR# software (sdrsharp) to watch the band.
