[10m] Re: Anybody Out There?!?!?!? (Charmaster)

[Mark Cobbeldick [KB4CVN]]

Yes the band has been very quiet.  But I think the band has been open,
just nobody was aware of it...



EXAMPLE:
This past Sunday afternoon the YL and I were sitting in the car, I had
a the 10m-FM rig on 29.600.  Had not heard anything for hours.  

I heard a KB7 station in Scottsdale, Arizona calling CQ.  We had a nice
QSO for about 30 minutes.  Soon afterwards I started hearing 8-Land
stations and even a CE8 station (Chile) calling CQ on 29.600.

No one was hearing any traffic on the band, assuming the band was dead.
 

UNTIL SOMEONE CALLED CQ !!!   

Apparently the band WAS open...just nobody knew it.
