In 2007, Texas was the place to be in the 10 Meter Contest. In 2008, I'd bet that the Florida stations ran up the highest scores. Things started slowly for me here in Virginia on Friday evening. For the first 100 minutes, I worked a handful of VA, MD, ... Read More

Great contest! Running 4 watts to the full-wave loop in the picture and actually working W/VE/DX stations at the bottom of the solar cycle is a testament to how cool 10 meters can be. The two openings to FL on Sunday accounted for many of my Qs. Im alr... Read More

Band conditions? What band conditions? For the first 24 hours I managed to work 10 stations as a Search & Pounce (S&P). I thought, "Well, I guess I'll be submitting 10 Qs this year." Wah-Lah! two openings, Florida nad Colorado. Finally ended up w... Read More

Well, 10 pm Friday evening heard a station in TX. Saturday afternoon NE-SW opening worked NY and TX. Sunday evening just prior to ending, an opening to CO. Seems all the openings from here were to specific states. Only heard those and no others, except... Read More

Another raucous time on 10 meters! A little better than last year--7 more contacts, twice as many multipliers. And, this time, I actually did work more Texas than Ohio.
In fact, 5 was my most productive Call District. I worked every state there ex... Read More
