Hello Steveo:

Yeah I was hearing skip from up north Seattle and Canada. I didn't talk
to anyone I was testing the Crusader 10K beam against the I-10K
Antennas. Its really wild how the beam will hear things that the ground
plane doesn't at times.

There is a 10 meter contest this weekend. All that RF should
get the band flying! During the last one, I made many contacts
all over with 100 watts. There was no DX before and no DX after
that contest, not even on 11. I always check 38 lower for activity.

Seems like more frequent openings lately although many of them are fairly
short lived. Good luck with the contest, Scott. Do you have a horizontal
antenna available?

I only have my mobile setup. I haven't been out to try yet. I've got
reports from others that 10 meters is really quiet. Maybe later...

I'm vertical to answer your question.

The damn skip just didn't happen this weekend. Only made contacts in MD.

11 was open like crazy over the weekend here. Had the west coast along with
a bunch of southern skip Saturday and Sunday. Lots of ground wave into
Michigan and Pennsylvania too.
