[K3PZN-List] Nice 10 meter opening tonight!!!

[James Nitzberg]

Dear 10 meter enthusiasts,

Curt, WB8YYY has it right.  

Every year I continue to FORGET how much fun 10 meters is, until the "season" arrives.  These openings have more to do with the E-skip season than the actual sunspot numbers.

On a related note, the CQ WPX CW contest was last weekend, and 10 meters opened up to Europe for several hours starting before 6:00pm.  I haven't observed a multi-hour opening to Europe in quite some time.

10 meters is full of surprises.  In a few more years, you will be able to work Europe from sunrise to sunset, while you're working JAs during sunset.  

73!
