Well, 10 meter SSB was pretty much bleh this weekend, so I just did some digital for giggles. Got a few fun places, but would have loved to have much more SSB.

Not too bad this weekend for a pretty poor 10 meter band. 15 contacts for "Support Your Parks Weekend". I'll take it! Also spent some time finishing up a few bits of my shack this weekend and put up a new grid square map. I'll put up some updated pics at some point!

Магия трех ватт и «заборного» резонанса.
Радиобудни. Ворочал антенну, вычисляя идеальную высоту диполя над забором. Похоже, нашел ту самую точку G (Ground), где земля начала работать на меня, а не против.
Итог на скрине: 3 Ватта на 10 метрах (JT9, 28078 кГц). И это в режиме «ночь на дворе, проход ушел по-английски»!
Отдельно благодарность PP5ZX за его WebSDR. Шикарен: мало того что сервис держит, так еще и добавил декодирование этого цифрового «шепота».

Today was really pretty good on 10 and 12 meters! Got 22 POTA contacts, all SSB, except one which was FM! That was really neat! It was such a clear communication, I was really amazed! And I got one contact up in Alaska all the way from Pennsylvania!

Here's my xmas haul on 10 and 12 meters. The bands weren't HORRIBLE, but definitely not all that great. Only got 9 SSB contacts from Thursday thru today. the rest are digital. I'm always happy to get Iceland tho, even if it is on digital. I wonder how New Years is going to look!

The last 2 weeks have been so busy that I forgot to map my contacts for the last 2 weeks. Here's what I got last week and this week. Yesterday was pretty poo on the 10 & 12 meter bands, so it was all digital. But today I got 7 SSB contacts, so it kinda makes up for it. >.<
As usual, the red ones are SSB, the blue is digital.

This weekend was weird with the solar storms that came earlier in the week. Saturday was pretty bad for SSB, but it seemed to come back alive today! I so do love chasing POTA on SSB!

It seems the 10 meter band is getting better! I got 26 SSB contacts, mostly to POTA parks, but a few random contacts too! I'm so excited with the band opening up again for the season!
I even got a contact in the Cayman Islands!
I've got my shack all insulated and set up for winter too, so I won't freeze to death trying to make contacts. All in all, it's been a great weekend!

This weekend was really good for #10m #SSB finally! The band is definitely waking up, and I'm so wanting to take advantage of it! Looking forward to more weekends like this one to get even more #POTA and such! Even managed to get one #SOTA contact too!
On a side note, I found out my radio manages to tune my 10m antenna to #12m at a usable level. Obviously it's not the most efficient like that, but hey, it does work! Managed to get one contact!

This weekend's POTA was really great! It was Support Your Parks this weekend and I made a decent haul! Almost all of my POTA contacts were SSB and I managed to get the Battleship Iowa in my logs as well! All in all I think it was a pretty good weekend!
The little red markers are SSB!

This was one crazy weekend for 10m amateur bands! I'm actually having a hard time coming up with things to say about it other than wow! Here's a map of all the contacts I made from Western PA. Yeah, just wow!

Welp, this weekend was a total win on FT8 10 meters. I'm guessing with the solar storm that's doing it's thing, it made things wacky, 'cause I've not seen propagation like this from Western PA before. The EU was like wide open for me, and boy did I do my best to take advantage of it! 170 FT8 exchanges in total for the 3 day weekend. Phew!
I've put 2 pictures up this time, because otherwise things would have just been too muddled together. (I added the all-together map too, just for comparison) So here, enjoy checking out where I managed to exchange with at just 100 watts!

Had a very interesting day today running #FT8 on the #6m and #10m bands! #6meters was pretty quiet, but #10meters had some really interesting surprises in store for me! I actually somehow managed to get an exchange with an #Antarctica research station today (DP0GVN)! I honestly thought Antarctica was one of those that I wouldn't ever manage at 100W and a horizontal omni antenna. Gotta mention South Africa too, 'cause that's just a sort of weird hop for #10meter to reach.

Have had a handful of days on 10 meters lately where the band will be almost completely closed but I get one pretty wild QSO with a new DX entity. This morning before work it was Trinidad and Tobago.
So I got that from grid square FM05 but then failed to make a contact with a CQ from FM06 😂 .
-
Finally got the $10 ten-meter dipole out of the attic and into the air. I feel like a real ham now lol.
Interesting that I don't immediately notice a strong directionality difference in my FT8 contacts, though the antenna is nearly perpendicular to the attic direction and the 'inverted v angle' [what's that called?] of the radiators has been small in both instances.
-
I am interested in what empirical evidence can be had to determine how much power is "as much as you need to make the contact."
This FT8 sequence seems to be one of those data points. I tried for a while to get this Chilean station and then someone from my grid square swoops in to get the QSO!
Recently went from a 25W rig to a 5W rig. Fewer QSOs and more incomplete exchanges, though I know the bands have been rough.

Welp, tried to activate a park down in #pittsburgh this afternoon. Park US-0621, but 10m was not kind, and I think the park is in a dead zone. We didn't manage to get any contacts, even park to park. But hey, it was nice out, we had a good time learning from the attempt, and spending time with friends!
Ha, really need to get an FT-891 at some point so we can work #20m and #40m too when the bands aren't being friendly.

Had a 10m FT8 signal heard last Sunday (no QSO) with DPØGVN, the club station at the German Antarctic Research Station "Neumayer III" in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica: https://www.qrz.com/db/DP0GVN
I want to keep chasing that QSL, especially after learning that Neumayer III’s “land” will eventually fall into the ocean. Gotta catch them before then! https://www.awi.de/en/fleet-stations/stations/neumayer-station-iii.html

Kiddo has been operating #FT8 under my supervision as K3LOE/7. Meaning, he zooms around on the GridTracker map until I tell him to do something.
10 meters seemed pretty closed this evening. But our station reeled in Costa Rica and Chile! Received a CQ from New Zealand ~8400 miles away! Did not reel that one in. But I've died and joined the ether.

Clicking around on the QRZ pages of WSPR spots, and a guy says "IF you call without including your grid square, I will probably move on to the next caller, Call again WITH your G-S."
He specifically says he hunts new grid squares. How common is this for voice modes? I haven't had any #CQ answers on #10meters yet but I was chalking it up to not-right-yet antennas and being slightly underpowered at 25W. Maybe it's cause I haven't been giving my #GS??!

Just had a #QSO with XE1UQZ - Victor in Mexico from Olney, IL on 28.450 MHz USB. His latest QSO was with a ham in Los Angeles. #10meters #QSOs #KE0FFTqsos #10m

The only global option for the "lowest" class of USA hams is to work 10 meter SSB between 28.3 and 28.5 MHz. Is there a crosswalk band chart that shows what frequencies each country's license levels are allowed to work? Many false positives with those search terms!

And just like that, I added my first ever QSO outside of North America to the logbook. Olney, Illinois to New South Wales, Australia (8939 miles) running 100watts into a G5RV-Jr. wire antenna strung across the back yard on bird-feeder hooks - only about 7.5 feet off the ground! #CQDX #10Meters #10MeterBand #HamRadio #AmateurRadio #KE0FFT #KE0FFT10meterBand #KE0FFTicom7300 #KE0FFTphoneSSB

At 1940CDT / 0050UTC - I’ll be calling CQ (USB Phone) on 28.400MHz from Olney, Illinois (EM58xr25) soon - if anyone is interested in being my first QSO contact using the new-to-me Icom 7300; I’ve got the radio connected to a G5RV-Jr stretched from east to west across the backyard. #10meterband #10meters

Wow the bands were alive today. I did a #sota activation and had more #DX than I normally do in a year's worth of activations. I felt like if I stayed I could have managed more, but after 33 QSOs my summit brain was kicking in and it was time to go. Hope to have more like this in this sunspot cycle. #10meters #HamRadio #5WattsAndAWire

SM5CAK - Lars - from south-central Sweden calling #CQDX on 28.391MHz USB phone - 59 signal into Olney, Illinois at 1605UTC #10meters #10m #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

Phone pileup now on 28.410MHz USB - strong signal into Olney, IL at 1552EST / 2052UTC. The fact I’m hearing this on the Tecsun means it would be amazing on the Yaesu if I hadn’t taken down the antenna in anticipation of the upcoming storm tonight. Haven’t heard calling station’s call yet. #CQDX #10meters #10m
