No longer any resemblance to the original thread, but the title fits...

This morning while talking on 75M AM Tim WA1HLR and I arranged a move up
to 29MHz, since I had just got done making some improvements to my
low-power homebrew rig, which uses a screen grid-modulated 6CD6 in the
final (affectionately known as a "pisweaker"). The improvements involved
neutralizing and otherwise taming the final so that it would be stable on
10M. Tim and I couldn't hear each other - the ~80 miles between us was a
bit too far, and backscatter wasn't working. But we each ended up talking
to Italian AM station I5KAP, who was running 4W from a converted CB. He
cranked the power down to 1W and was still readable.

So the 10M band is starting to open up, folks.
