[HCRA] 10 Meters: Where is everybody???

[Rick Lindquist, WW3DE]

CX5BW on 28.011 and other SA CW sigs heard here, but not loud, and local QRN
pretty much taking them out. I heard several stations in MN coming back to
stations I could not copy at all. Haven't worked a single station.

Actual antennas do help.

I've worked about 110 Q's so far, split about 60/40 CW to phone.

The openings have been brief. I caught a quick pipeline into GA and then the
Midwest this morning. Same again tonight into the Midwest. MI, WI, MN in a
few minutes - then gone.

I did work Argentina on both SSB and CW. Heard Uruguay but he couldn't hear
me. Also a few in SC, VA and PA. No MD or NJ though.

Not the fun it used to be when there were sunspots!

Jim, 1W
