Title: 10 AM Working Post by: W2VW on September 30, 2013, 06:47:15 PM Just finished a QSO on 29000 with VK3WF from 22:34 UTC. Rough going but made contact.
Been working N7JW with ease the last few days. Talked with Rick VE6CQ yesterday. Band working close to nightfall here too. Also K7KC in Utah. Great fun! Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: W2VW on October 04, 2013, 12:24:08 PM I5KAP on 29010 calling CQ right now with his loop.
Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: W2VW on October 04, 2013, 12:30:39 PM He has switched to 29000.
Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: W2VW on October 04, 2013, 12:38:32 PM On 29020 with VE6CQ now.
Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: W2VW on October 05, 2013, 08:32:21 PM Stations worked on 10 AM today:
K1KW SM6JMZ IK0GHB IZ0VXF IK0RDM W7ISJ VK4VN Heard W1BBC carrier detected only. Too close. W3HM Same as above Heard W7FOX with ex snr in QSO with 3HM. Made contact with VK4VN using 25 watts carrier then turned on the Pulverizer. Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: W2VW on October 06, 2013, 09:32:06 AM Many good signals again today. Just worked IW5EKR on 29010 @ 13:22 UTC.
So easy even a moderator could do it. Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: n1eu on October 06, 2013, 10:15:51 AM Band in quite decent shape - worked GW3UZS, OK2OV, IW5EKR, DH5PK, DC2AC and EA3AER. EA3AER's vintage Multi-Elmac setup sounded real nice.

Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: n1eu on October 06, 2013, 10:28:33 AM Ha! So that what was going on ;-)
Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: Steve - K4HX on October 06, 2013, 09:05:25 PM They probably think it's just another DX and contact, so they're gonna call like crazy. I've never quite understood the amount of calls out of EU sometimes. It's not like east coast states (with the exception of maybe DE, RI) are rare or hard to work, on almost any band. Sometimes this type of activity is fun. Other times, it's annoying.

I like to talk with anyone using 10 meter AM but usually ignore people who do not use proper protocol. Anyone who wants to work someone already in QSO and cannot hear all parties involved should wait until the contact has ended and the person who was on frequency first indicates he or she wishes to answer more calls. Anything else creates a real mess. I hear stations on the other end of DX who don't know this also. They answer the first tailender who stomps on their contact. Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: W2VW on October 18, 2013, 11:33:13 AM Just heard G8NOF working K6AM on 29010 15:30 UTC!!!!
Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on October 18, 2013, 12:11:00 PM Worked about 12 different Europeans this morning with 4 or 5 others lost in the noise and QRM. Signals were up and down. Never moved the dial off 29.025.

Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: Steve - K4HX on October 20, 2013, 07:33:37 PM Band still hopping after sunset here. Abount 30 minutes ago (2300Z) there were 3-4 AM QSO going. I spoke with W0PKZ from Utah on 29030. I could hear K1KW and W2VW down the band via backscatter.
Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: Steve - K4HX on October 20, 2013, 07:44:36 PM WOW! Just saw this spot.
Spotter Freq Call Comments Time Date DXCC WB6Z 29010.0 JA1IFD CQ NA (AM) from Yokosuka 2336 20 Oct Japan Title: Re: 10 AM Working Post by: Steve - K4HX on October 21, 2013, 02:26:33 PM Sun numbers from the ARRL propagation letter. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
Quote Recent solar activity took a healthy jump this week, with the average daily sunspot number increasing nearly 48 points to 126.9, a positive change of 60 percent compared to the previous week. Average daily solar flux was up 16.4 points to 126.5. The daily sunspot number rose to 148 on October 15, then 166 on October 17, the highest it's been since May 15-17 when it was 186, 212 and 198. The average planetary A index was unchanged at 8.1. The high latitude college A index indicated active geomagnetic conditions on October 14-15, when it was 31 and 27. The latest prediction shows solar flux at 135, 130 and 120 on October 18-20, 115 on October 21-23, 110 on October 24-25, 100 on October 26-29, 105 on October 30-31, 100 on November 1-2, 110 on November 3-4, 115 on November 5, 120 on November 6-7, and 125 on November 8-12. The predicted planetary A index is 8 on October 18, 5 on October 19-20, 12 and 10 on October 21-22, 5 on October 23 through November 10, 12 on November 11, 5 on November 12-16 and 8 on November 17-19. If the prediction is correct, the numbers are to drop off some after peaking on the 18th. Lets hope the prediction is wrong. |
