*Carlie,**
**Glad to hear that you evaded the oncoming storm.**
**Also gratified to read that you finally heard my 10 Meter Beacon.**
**It's only been on the air for 8 months, but it is routinely spotted
around the world, even with the poor propagation that we have been having.**
**I also received an email yesterday from a ham in NC.**
**He heard my beacon and figured the band was open, and worked hams in
my area while mobile (SSB).**
**Fills my heart with pride, it does.**
**
**I see on QRZ that you have a 10 Meter CW contact in the log.**
**What model 10 Meter radio did you finally acquire to go with your
straight key?**
My set up is a Uniden President HR2510 running 6 watts to a vertical at
about 35 feet.
I really should put that info on QRZ.

W4AMA - Rainbow City, Alabama, USA
K5TLL - Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA
WJ5O - Troy, Alabama, USA
K5AB - Goldthwaite, Texas, USA
K7OC - Dallas?, Texas, USA - new for me!
KE5JXC - Pecan Island, Louisiana, USA - new for me and yay! I've been chasing this one!
*AA1SU - Essex Junction, Vermont, USA - new for me, yay! Really been chasing this one! *
W5DXZ - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
K1SPD - LaVergne, Tennessee, USA
WA2DVU - Cape May, New Jersey, USA
N1FSX - Limon, Colorado, USA - tentative
And then I hurried down the hill and inside, to avoid the oncoming storm. Light falling (from what I could tell), wind getting up, cooling and swirling, and now thunder rumbles. Eeps!
I don't know what this says about propagation, other than that it's weirdly wonderful.
