I was at home this past week, so the good conditions gave me some very 
plesant radio time.


I worked a station in Spain on 10 meter cw just before noon central 
time on Thursday.

He was 57 with his 500 watts, and gave my 100 watts a 55.

I heard Japan faintly on 15 cw during the contest yesterday.

But, I spent most of yesterday afternoon and this afternoon on 15 
meter AM above 21.400.

I worked a half dozen stations, including VE5, VE6, and VY1, plus some 
W7 stations.

What fun it was to have 15 and 10 open. As Phil said, it will only get 
better for some time to come, although the openings for this year will 
drop off again as the weather gets warmer.

So, spend your summer getting those upper hf band antennas ready for 
fall.

Anything, even the lowly dipole, will work when the band is open.
