12/11/2006 | NG2T Ah, yes! Our enigmatic ten meter band has once again demonstrated its very interesting qualities. At this latitude in the NNY section, the band can be difficult at the bottom of the solar cycle. The openings were widespread and varied in length of time. Unfortunately, I never heard a single European station. However, there was some other long haul propagation to far away lands.The highlights of my operation were finding and snagging ZL, ZS, KH8, KH6, TI, CX, LU, OA, XE, and PJ2. There were some very strong signals from the western USA as well. Many thanks to all for a delightful time! 73, Jeff -- NG2T
