10 meters starting to open up
 

Worked a station in Venezuela (28.5kHz) - not too strong but a start.
We need a nice X class flare to break things open.

Make that 28.5 MHz. Also, a Trinidad station is on 28.433 MHz.

Ugh, Getting frustrated! I just bought a 10m radio in my truck,
Wed. I order the antenna for it... I passed the test on field day, but
a mess-up happened and I have to re-take the test... I have technician
privilages, but gotta re-test to take my general upgrade again... By
the time I get my general license again and my antenna to use the
radio, I know good and well, that 10m will be closed again! UGH!

It is ramping up slowly. When one sunspot appears, another one
disappears. It was a little better today than yesterday on 10 meters
but the lower bands were poor. Keep trying for that general. Best of
luck!
