26.600, Is that frequency correct or a typo I wonder?

IF it is correct then I think posting in the Amateur section maybe the mistake :blink: Will not move it until I have confirmation. Thanks.

10m was rocking yesterday worked many many Europeans. USA and Brazil
When open this is my favourite band and always worked QRP. Why QRP? A few watts on 10 goes a very long way when allowed, Whilst you can hear the boys on 11m with hundreds of watts in a large pile up fighting through dozens of op's to qso the South Pacific, West Indies USA etc the same can be done on 10m very easily

3 watts returned me all of the above locations mentioned on 28mhz SSB

Also a few FM qso made on 29mhz FM

All in all the best day on 10m for a long long time :D

The minimum power available Sam on all radios :( would liked to have gone even lower and perhaps tried milliwatts. I did have a Ranger 2950 that went as low as 2 watts (gone now) and have qso Stateside and Brazil on it earlier this year 10m

Very nice...

Yep 10 meters seemed to be open yesterday, time to get my decent antenna out as I only have a Stainless Stinger on the Berlingo...
Not ideal... to say the least...

QRP operation is nice, it gives more of a accomplishment..
at the QTH I work QRP to see what we can do...

Unfortunately though my roof is still not finished so my antenna's are still down.. :'(

anyway well done mate..... :thumb: sounds like you had a good day..

Hi

10m was great yesterday. Managed to get into Siberia for the first time, and try to call for Northern Thailand but there was a pile up. I wanted to shout "Sawadee-Krap" (greetings in Thai) but no such luck, lol.

I did very briefly look at 10m FM, but heard nothing.

Cheers
