10 meters is a great band! It's very quiet, generally, which bodes well
for QRP during band openings. I once worked Argentina from Pennsylvania
on 10 CW running 200 milliwatts to 10' of wire tossed out a
second-floor window.
When the band is open, there's generally some CW activity from
28.000-28.060 and SSB from 28.300 to 28.500. Of course it moves well
beyond this when it's *really* open or if there's a contest. Also, when
six meters is open, you'll hear some coordination activity on 28.800.
The Ten-Ten group's web site (http://www.ten-ten.org/) is a great
starting point. They list daily nets, contests (four per year) and
other operating activities. There's also a database of 10-10 numbers.
Mine is 5032 :)
