Default Freeband hopping?

You know what, I feel like a fool. One of the members of the household here
unscrewed the coax days ago and I didn't realize it. No wonder I haven't
been hearing anything. Please accept my apology. Jason

you must have dreamed this.


It's no dream. Turn on your radio. Channel 19 was S9+ like it is
whenever the skip is running. The A index doesn't affect 10/11
as bad as it does the lower frequencies. Just look for lots of
'spots and the solar flux to be up in the 100's. I also made a
contact on the 12th to Chile. I'm not dreaming dood!

The A index is basically yesterdays K index. The K index is a prediction
of the solar perturbations for the day.

Right now the solar flux is 169 and the K index is 2. I'm going out for
more!

10 meters sure was.

I've did Italy, Germany, Australia, Puerto Rico and a few in Brazil in
about half an hour.

If you want to schedule a contact on 10 meters or Echolink, email me
your call sign.
Sorry, I won't do freeband anymore or initiate DX on 11, however, if I'm
talking local,
I won't be rude and ignore you on 11 meters if I hear you.
