10 might as well be on Mars lately, although some folks claim to have
enjoyed openings. Not me, not lately.


I hope this helps.

10m has its moments. A couple of weeks ago I worked Missouri and
Louisanna from NC. I heard two guys chatting and thought they were
local. Threw out my call and found they were in Slidell Ms.When I got
finished talking to them a guy in St Louis called me. He couldnt hear
the guys in MS. 10M is not dead you just have to wait for an opening.

There you go! *I check 10m every day, especially when 20 sounds quiet,
'cause maybe everybody's up on 10. *Lately the only thing I hear on 10 is a
stray carrier or two. *But, as you so aptly put it: *It has its moments.


I monitor 11m for activity and switch over to 10 when I hear some dx..
I ve noticed I talk into La and Ms a lot on this longwire on 10m. I
must have lobes pointing in to each area.
