For all hams who can use 10 meters, GET ON!!
It's absolutely jumping with signals from all over the world. I've put 10 countries in the logbook this week alone on SSB!!

Talk about reading something and not having a clue about what I just read. I am beginning to think I know little about amateur radio operators.

Personally, I am going to shortly get back to KBSCK with a longer 96-BXP so that my 78HYU will fit and send the '86-'87 quarking doodle to YH589. That should work.

John, what you're describing will work only if your framistans are cogulated. Just FYI.

When I have time, I usually start with 15 meters and work my way to 80 ( or 160 if I stay up late enough, which I don't). Mostly active in the late afternoon with 30 and 40 meters working FT-8. I haven't worked SSB phone in years, maybe since 2011. I have my DXCC with 136 confirmed but I'm a bit lazy with other projects. 10 meters is fun because you can log a lot of Technician class ops who are hungry for contacts on the HF bands. I'm good QRZ, eQSL, and LoTW. I quit the Bureau when Covid hit. Antennas: Hustler 4BTV with 30 meter band trap & 100 radials, Butternut HF5B beam, 260 foot end fed wire over the house up to 35 feet, ancient Cushcraft AR270 vertical for vhf/uhf, homemade VHF quad in the attic along with a 10 meter band folded dipole, antennas all over the place. Radios: Yaesu FT-840, Icom ID-5100 and Icom 51 HT, Yaesu FT-817, Yaesu FT-2900, and a venerable Kenwood TM-733 and a BTECH UV-5X3 for 220. 73

Call sign NA1AN, extra class. The license is current, but I am not active.

By the way, (true story) I once saw a car with a license plate KR2NST. I figured it was probably a call sign, so I knocked on the door of the nearest house to ask about it, and the owner said that the license plate was not a call sign. It was a vanity license plate that stood for "cartoonist."

I went to graduate school at Utah State University, in Logan, Utah. Logan is also one of my favorite places. I now live near Salt Lake City. The call sign story (KR2NST) took place in Richland, Washington.
