After getting home from work tonight I put the radio on and since it was already on 10m I tuned around. I heard CO6XN in Cuba coming in loud and calling CQ so I put my call out and he came right back to me. I only have a G5RV antenna which isn’t great on 10m but very tunable and I guess it works good enough for now. So thanks for the nice 59 Abel!
It was nice to finally make a DX contact on 10m, not that I’ve ever really tried before. The old timers are always talking about the good ‘ol days with sunspots and propagation and you could just drive around in your car and talk to Japan and Australia on 10m like you were hitting the local repeater.
Some day, some day.
