I was in the mobile talking to a op on 29.200 AM, running just the radio with a good signal report, propagation has been off the hook.
Ten is hot, get it while you can.

Made my longest contact to date on 10m this morning, Capetown, South Africa. 8295 miles on the two pieces of wire seen below.

This is not chest-thumping, it's amazement on my part that that's all it takes to talk that far.
I always enjoy reading the antenna pissing contests that appear on the forum occasionally, all the while knowing how simple it can really be. Two pieces of wire tuned properly.

It was pretty darn good. Goes to show watts ain't everything, eh? There's plenty of QRP folks out there with damn good antennas.
