Actual activity on 10 meters earlier today, Woop Woop
« on: October 21, 2013, 0353 UTC »
I tuned the SW up to the higher bands today, and heard maybe 15-20 CW beacons in the beacon section of the 10 meter band, most of them coming in from the SE US., and there were a couple CW QSOs going on near the bottom of the band as well.

Usually 10 meters is dead, dead, dead.

October seems to be 11 meters month. Last year was booming as well.

Heard some 10m CQ voice calls over the weekend. Probably contesting.

I also briefly caught a 10m FM repeater. Did not log it, though, so I am not sure on location.
