Ron,
As well as checking the 10m beacons, I also find it useful to tune
across the Citizens Band just below 10m for possible openings. But
don't be fooled if you do not hear anything because the skip can be
very selective sometimes...
If you have a K2, don't forget the scanning feature. This is great for
10 meters or other quiet bands, in particular -- just let it scan for
signals over the entire CW or SSB sub-band while you do other things
around the shack/lab/office.
The K2's normal scanning mode mutes the receiver until an "interesting"
signal pops up. It also has a "live" scanning mode, which keeps the
receiver active so you can hear even very weak signals as the VFO
automatically tunes across them.
