Ed,
I've been working guys during this weekend CQ Worldwide on CW. Bands not as
good as you'd like but with a vertical at 20 feet, I'm working everything I
can hear and you are right about all bands. I hope 10 opens some this
weekend. I'm just playing around but I have 316 countries for a total since
I began working DX when I was 15 years old in 1967.
Phil.
