Conditions have been great during much of the last 3 weeks. When we have
barely enough solar flux to open 10 meters, absorption is minimal. So if
there is propagation, signals are fairly strong. Yesterday I worked UA3 in
the morning and JA and UA0 near sunset. Today we had an opening to Japan
that lasted a couple of hours. For about half an hour the signals were
fairly strong. W9DIK reported on the net that he had worked someone in
Scotland on 10-meter AM. Harold doesn't have a beam. Try to work this
stuff while the K index is low. A higher K index is only good for QSOs to
the south.

10 and 12 are wide open. Some kind of European CW contest.
Worked a ua1 from Wisconsin with a vertical and 100 watts on Sideband.
Think I might fire up the valiant.
