Clearly propagation was regional. I only heard two or three call signs, none complete enough for a contact. All were Midwest stations. My 100 watts and wire antenna netted no returns, but Reverse Beacon showed my CQs consistently strong toward the East Coast. What power and antenna were

I hear lots of E skip lately. But there aren't enough ion clouds in the right places for me to reach you guys! But I did work an LZ (about 860 miles away) lower in the band with good signals. Vic 4X6GP > On 12 Jun 2017, at 18:55, EUGENE GABRY wrote: > > >> On June 12, 2017

Well that was fun! Only time for one QSO and it was with Dale WA8SRA (K3, 500 watts) whose signal got stronger as the QSO continued. I hope this is still going on later when I have more time to play. Nice to see 10m being opened by a reflector posting! 73 all, John AE5X

I hear a few very weak sigs in there. My main antenna is offline so I’m using a rotatable dipole at 25’. I’ll be on for awhile. And yes, this is an experiment in “opening the band” :) Anyone should be able to do it. Name your time/place. Wayne N6KR > On Jun 12, 2017, at 8:00 AM,
