[TVARC] ARRL 10M Contest

[Rich Erlichman]

Pete,

 

We have sunspots from the next solar cycle that magically (or suddenly)
appeared on the 5th. Propagation should be better than last year. And you
"won" last year. With a few sun spots to assist, you should be able to
clobber everyone.

 

Hope to see you on the band.

 

73, Rich, ND4G

The ARRL 10 meter contest starts at 7P tonight, and runs through Sunday
night at 7P.  I plan to operate both CW and SSB whenever the band is open -
which is probably rarely.  I did just work a weak station in Chile with my
temporary 4 element yagi.  I put up the antenna a couple of days ago, and
finally made a QSO.  Unfortunately, it will come down early next week.  

 

But in the meantime I plan to make as many contacts as possible, and don't
hold out much hope for a large number, given  the dismal propagation.  So
any contacts I can make with you locals can count a great deal.  I'll be
able to work you on both CW AND SSB, but you'll be more likely to find me on
CW since contacts there are worth 2 points, while SSB is only 1.  

 

Tonight generally gets lots of stations out, usually with Sporadic-E
propagation to the midwest or southwest, and they should be workable until
maybe 10P, our time.  Then the band dries up and we won't hear anything
except during daylight hours tomorrow and Sunday.  Saturday night is usually
a bust.  But you never can tell!

 

Looking to work many TVARCers!

 

73, Pete, K2PS
