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!

Many good signals again today. Just worked IW5EKR on 29010 @ 13:22 UTC.

So easy even a moderator could do it.

Band in quite decent shape - worked GW3UZS, OK2OV, IW5EKR, DH5PK, DC2AC and EA3AER.  EA3AER's vintage Multi-Elmac setup sounded real nice.

I hear you working Oliver on .40 with people calling you at every over. Guess they don't know normal operation yet.

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.

Wow! Nice catch!

16 AM stations worked this weekend. Another 7 on FM.

Gotta love 10 when it's like this.

Was on this morning going to work around 0730 CDT.  All kinds of SSB on lower portion. Even some CW. Heard nothing on AM 29.000 to 29.200.

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.
