With the exception of one or two days, 10 meters has been open for the past week or so.
I heard several stations from Europe in the DX contest last weekend with respectable signals.
Being one who enjoys operating AM, I often check 29.000 for signals whenever the SSB signals are strong in the lower part of the band.
Thus it was that yesterday afternoon at 22:25, and 23:35, I worked VK4VN, and VK2BA on AM using my TS570. Signals from both stations peaked at S9.
The Novice/Technician portion of the band between 28.300 and 28.500 was full of west coast signals, along with a mix of VK, ZL, and KH6.
I don't know how long these conditions will hold, but we need to enjoy them while we can.
If the conditions are good today, I may break out my Radio Shack HTX10, or my old Lafayette HA410, a classic AM box from the 1960's.
