This is an invitation to join us tomorrow night on the 10-10 Net: 28.488 at
8pm. Sometimes we move down 1 KHz due to activity on 28.490.
What is the Ten-Ten International Net?
The Ten-Ten International Net, Inc. was formed in 1962 as the Ten-Ten Net of
Southern California. Its purpose was to promote activity and good operating
practice on the ten-meter amateur band. During the first few years the
organization grew slowly, but by 1975 there were 10,000 members, and the
word "International" had crept into the name. There have now been over
78,000 10-10 numbers issued worldwide.
The Ten-Ten International Net is a non-profit entity incorporated under the
laws of the State of California.
Ten-Ten (or more commonly "10-10") has no paid employees. All its officers
and managers serve on a voluntary basis and are reimbursed for necessary
expenses only. With the great expansion of the organization in recent years,
it has been necessary to employ computer processing for membership records.
A PDF membership card and certificate are emailed to new members when
membership is granted. Each new member is assigned a unique "10-10 Number"
which is retained for life, regardless of a change of callsign. A 10-10
number is never re-issued. When one becomes an SK (Silent Key), his/her
number is still listed in the membership records and Membership Roster.
Paid up (current) members receive a digital copy via email of the 10-10
International News, 10-10's own magazine which is published quarterly. It is
also accessible and available via the 10-10 website. They are also eligible
to participate in various 10-10 activities.

The local chapter is called Houston S.H.O.T. (Space Houston on Ten). We meet
every Tuesday night at 8pm local time on 28.488. I usually act as net
control and I'm located in Richmond so if you have a directional antenna,
point it down my way. Mike, N5MT is the Chapter Head at this time. He is
based in Louisiana but checks in via KJ5Y's W5FMH remote located near Alvin.
The main purpose of the net is to collect and pass out 10-10 numbers (for
awards, etc.) and to help new contacts get their membership. Again, you do
not need to have a 10-10 number to join in every Tuesday night. We regularly
get check-ins from around the country, and sometimes Hawaii, Australia and
New Zealand.
Feel free to join us whether you have a 10-10 number or not. If you don't
have a 10-10 number and would like to get one, we will do our best to get
you the ten 10-10 numbers required for membership.
How do I join and where do I get my 10-10 number?
Any licensed amateur authorized to operate on the 10-meter band can join
10-10. It is required that you contact 10 10-10 members (on 10 meters),
listing their information as noted on the Membership Application form.
Please use this application form for new / renewal available at:
<https://10-10.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Application.pdf> Application
Hope to see you!
Please feel free to forward this invitation to other lists and reflectors.
