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

[n1kxr at comcast.net]

Steve, 




Cool beans, glad to hear you had some contacts. The event was a total bust for me. I put in the time, cruised the frequencies, listened and made call outs. Just seemed like when I was on the air, or near the rig, the band just wasn't open. 

No matter though, I had fun and played radio, and in the end, that's what really counts.

Hi Rich, 

4 contacts in 2 states in 10 minutes this morning with the beam stuck facing North. 

Hope things have improved for you. 

GL & 73,

Well, 28.455.00 USB has pretty much been dead. I call CQ. Tune around the band. Go back to .455 and call out again. 

Bounce back and forth between horizontal (long wire end fed) and vertical (Antron 99). 

Not much heard. >sigh< none worked.

There appears to be zero propagation to Delaware this weekend on 10 meters. 
I heard nothing this morning and am still hearing nothing - on either CW or SSB. 





Not a squeak or a blip. Nothing but the noise level.
