That's why I like 10M AM.  A few years ago, before we really dropped 
into the sunspot min,  it was quite common to have back to back 30+ min 
chats on 10M AM.    I remember one memorable one with a fellow in Utah 
where the topics of converstaion ranged from radios to property values 
to the kinds of chicken feed we both used.

Can't wait for 10M to pick up again.
