[K6BW] 10 Meters is Open - message from QRP-L

[David Mueller]

When the band is open, and all you're sending is 5NN
CA, it's pretty easy to rack up QSO's.  On SSB, I
twice made 6 QSO's per minute:

QSO: 28518 PH 2006-12-10 1908 N2NL          59  CA    
KQ7W          59  WA     0
QSO: 28518 PH 2006-12-10 1908 N2NL          59  CA    
K4MIJ         59  TN     0
QSO: 28518 PH 2006-12-10 1908 N2NL          59  CA    
KG4RUE        59  SC     0
QSO: 28518 PH 2006-12-10 1908 N2NL          59  CA

QSO: 28518 PH 2006-12-10 1908 N2NL          59  CA    
K5SP          59  TX     0
QSO: 28518 PH 2006-12-10 1908 N2NL          59  CA    
NV4B          59  AL     0

There were several instances with 5 QSO's/minute on
CW.  Here's one extract:

QSO: 28018 CW 2006-12-09 1841 N2NL          599 CA    
KN4JN         599 FL     0

N3JT          599 VA     0

Most of the 500 QSOs were probably made in 2.5 hours. 
The rest of the time I was screwing around, mostly
last night after the shuttle launch when conditions
were marginal with a few meteor burn contacts.

73, Dave
