How long has it been since I worked FM on 10m -- FOREVER.  David answered me on the first call.  I'm working with about 110w out of FM, so we were 59+ both ways, but he's fading out a bit now.  It was almost like talking on the local repeater.  Amazing.  

He wants to try me on 6m (any mode), but he said 6m is "very" quiet right now.  

I'll have to check, but the 4,325 miles might be my longest FM contact, period.
