[Boatanchors] 10 Meter AM

[rayfri]

The RS rigs are great.  I have two of them ....   and they do a great 
job on AM when the band conditions are right.
Just before this cycle ended I had a 30 minute AM QSO while driving down 
the freeway.   I was in Utah and my contact was
in Florida.  He was ALSO using the RS rig.....
Let's hear it for 10 meters coming back....      11 meters continues to 
be hot for skip...  I just wish it would inch on up a bit so we'd have 
more of it on 10 meters too...     Seems a lot of times it stops dead at 
27.999   HI HI.
