[Elecraft] Re: 10 meters

10 meters is a great band! It's very quiet, generally, which bodes well 
for QRP during band openings. I once worked Argentina from Pennsylvania 
on 10 CW running 200 milliwatts to 10' of wire tossed out a 
second-floor window.

When the band is open, there's generally some CW activity from 
28.000-28.060 and SSB from 28.300 to 28.500. Of course it moves well 
beyond this when it's *really* open or if there's a contest. Also, when 
six meters is open, you'll hear some coordination activity on 28.800.

The Ten-Ten group's web site (http://www.ten-ten.org/) is a great 
starting point. They list daily nets, contests (four per year) and 
other operating activities. There's also a database of 10-10 numbers. 
Mine is 5032  :)
