Ten meters is finally open...this cycle?...has been really strange.But now at my qth the band is active every day, with good signals from Europe.While its not great conditions,its usable.I use a 1949 Stancor St 203 mobile transmitter..running 8 watts to the antenna....10 meters is a great band..hve fun....73 Bill

Yes it is open but seems to fade fast in the late afternoon. 10 is neat when it's open does not take much power, heard a lot of QRP stations yesterday. I have been on 17 pretty much mobile but worked a bunch on 10 in the last few days. IC 706 MKII G and a Lil Tarheel antenna nice British net today 28.400 73's N3LYT

Ten can be strange...for example...I dont hear a single station from the east coast,your area and nothing north south....but I always hear California....there's a good friend in Oregon..but can only talk to him every 11 years...hihi...someday I hope to try 17 mtrs,73 KF0IE

17 was interesting the last few days I heard pileups and never heard the station calling CQ! I like it when they don't realize the station is using a split, and their running 1.5 KW and wondering why the guy can't hear him.
