Between cleaning the gutters and mowing I did some work on 10m today.
The result... 109 countries worked on 10m today. Now my voice hurts. |

It's better be late than never. Got on 20 meters an hour ago. 50 contacts made so far but I'm not in a hurry. The band is very busy, lots of DX stations.
I put a roofing filter back in the radio. What a difference it makes. I can hear very weak signals 2 kc away from a S9+40 station. No splatter from nearby stations. Money well spent.

I was gone a good part of the day, but ended up with 182 contacts, about 50K points.
I've got some dupe though due to not reading the docs on the N1MM logger that I installed last night. Great logger and it's free Should have done it earlier in the week. 
Worked France and Spain on 40m from AZ so the band was good. |

Wow, I though I was doing good. Here's what I got today on 10M.

Didn't leave 10M today. Was hopping here in AZ.
Ended up total 325 Qs and 125K points (still have to remove a handful of dupes) No dupes today as I figured out what the N1MM logger was telling me. I may even submit a log. First time in 35 yrs. 
Even picked up 2 China and 1 Indonesia in the last 5 minutes as no one else was around. |

Someone must have cut my antenna wires because no one is hearing me today I had the same problem this morning. Europe was booming in, but propagation did not seem to be cooperating, as most were calling CQ over and over with no replies. It eventually picked up a little bit for me and I was able to check off a few firsts, like ARGENTINA 2 Chile 2 CANADA 2 (believe it or not, I can almost walk to Canada from here and finally talked to someone there) PERU ( An American Jesuit Priest) Azores Turks and Caicos Islands ETA: All on 10M |
