[AMRadio] 10M AM Frequencies

One of the best ways to gauge 10 meter activity in real time and all the
other bands too, is to bookmark DX Sherlock.

You can look at country activity and even world activity. Of course you
don't need this if you have no life and sit in front of the radio 24/7.
As I type, 10 meters is open coast to coast, to South America, Europe,
Africa, and the Far East.
10 meters is generally a daylight band but it's not uncommon to work
stations after darkness settles in your area if there's some Sporadic E,
TEP, or F2 propagation.
