[10m] AM and FM activity?

[Jay Eimer]

My HTX-10 is mobile in my '93 Ford Ranger.  I'm in Oklahoma, so Japan is a
tough stretch with only 25W, unless conditions are perfect (which they
haven't been since I got it installed).  I've worked a lot of the southwest,
and several in the Carolinas or Virginia (as well as most of the states
between) on sideband.  I've heard a few repeaters on FM, but could never key
any of them up.  That's only happened a couple of weeks ago when we had the
big solar flares.  I only put the radio in the truck in April, so I've never
really experienced a "good" 10m opening.  I have worked a couple of South
American stations.

My antenna is a 1/4 wave whip (96") mounted to the inside of one of the
stake holes.
