Ah, it has gotten pretty high praise in the HFPack community, a very large
group of people who enjoy running portable, and/or pedestrian mobile. They
cover 6.9 mHz to 30 mHZ continuous. Read more at:

I believe a number of 10-meter repeaters are implementing pl so that you =
can choose which repeater you want to bring up, since there are a number of
co-channel systems.

I really like 10 fm but haven't had much of a chance to work it since I
moved in 2009. We're in our new house in Tarpon springs, now, so I hope = to
get an hf antenna up soon. I'd also like to buy an Alex loop so I can = work
out here in the back yard (where I'm sitting, composing this email). = I've
got the Bluestar antenna I mentioned in previous posts to this list and = it
can be  a good performer, but it requires counterpoise wires, which I'm =
not really fast at deploying.

The Alex loop, a magnetic loop antenna, requires no counterpoise and = comes
in its own carry bag, making for really easy deployment and stowing.

What's CSQ?  I didn't think many 10 meter machines ran with PL mode on
because of the phase distortion that occurs on 10.  I think I have keyed =
up that machine from Martinez CA.  Jim WA6EKS

We have a 10 FM repeater in Fort Worth. It's off the air right now for =
tower maintenance.  When it's up it's on 29.660 Either CSQ or 192.8. call =
W5DFW.
Most of the time it's in CSQ though.

Ten meter FM can be a lot of fun.  I am an officer in our local 10 meter =
FM group that has a repeater.  I have also been on the repeater in New York
= on the empire state building several times as well as one in Houston, one
= in southern California and one in San Fransisco.  Simplex operation on
29.6 = is also interesting at times.

Hey Bob, that's great about getting on 10 meter Fm.  We could probably =
only talk on that band through a repeater.  I think there might be one
around Auburn but am not sure.  I have not been able to bring up a local 10
= meter repeater, local meaning within 80 to 100 miles from me.  73, Jim
