10m AM from Japan
JH8SST:
Hello, this is JH8SST/7. I've been doing AM on 40m and 10m since 2014, but restricted to domestic QSO.
I learned from WU2D Mike YouTube that international 10m AM contacts are made on 29.010 MHz and around recently, and I made the first time trans pacific DX QSO with WB8KRY Joe on 10m AM on Feb. 2 2024. I was so excited.
I'm using a home brew TX - 6BX6(VXO)-5763(doubler)-813 plate/screen modulated by 6J7-6SN7-6L6GC Push-Pull modulator. RX is also home-brew RF1 IF2. Antenna is a 3 element 14/21/28 tribender up 25ft high.
I usually QRV at around 22:00 to 01:00 UTC beaming to USA. I'm going to try Europe at around 06:00~ UTC.
I do hope to see you on 10m AM.

Thank you for being there. I will look for you from Arizona. Steve. KL7OF
JH8SST:
Steve, thanks a lot for the comment. I'm trying to QRV at around 22:00 UTC, as long as noise is low. I'm looking forward to meeting you on the air.

This morning, the propagation of 10m was excellent and the band was very quiet here. I heard rag chew was going on on 29.010MHz.
I worked WB8KRY followed by WA8SAJ. The AM signals from them came in 56 to 59+ QSB !
WA8SAJ Jeff's Crystal microphone gave me AM signals of excellent readability. .
It's great morning ! Many thanks to Joe and Jeff. I do hope to see you on the air again. Best 73's, Jun JH8SST/7.
