Tony's 10 Metre Band Report
23 May 2006

What an excellent week for ten metres. Sunday was exceptional in the current climate of activity.

I managed to work lots of short skip into France, Spain, Portugal and even Ilford and Hertford. I couldn’t hear any distant stations but lots were active. All to the good for the King of Spain’s contest. Quite a lot of G stations active on Tuesday (??) and Sunday - not so much other days. VK seems to have been missed out completely. Probably just as well, its getting on towards winter there, time to drag the barbie indoors.

Quite a few contributions this week.
Toufelaz, CN8QY in Morocco reports having heard G9XXX at 59. I have my doubts about the G9XXX as I understand the G9 series are not yet issued.

Ian, M0CJY, heard CN8SG 5/7, 6W/EA4ATI 5/8, CS2CGX 5/7 and CS7CGX 5/2.

DM6HK, “Australier” Hans, said on Sunday, “Nigeria now with 59 on 28490 MHZ. Italian Station in Nigeria Call: 5N8NDP 16:40 UTC.

Bob, G8OST was astounded, “I am receiving signals on the 10 m band in the UK at the moment, Sunday 21st 0930GMT.” And “From southern Europe to the UK, Portugal, Italy etc. This is the first time I've heard anything on 10m this year!” I know just how he feels, it’s been a long time since we had such a good week.

Carlos, PY2XC, sends us a piccie of his house and antenna. Look at that beam and blue sky. All I have is wind, rain and a Windom.

Contests:
The one to be in this weekend is the CQ WW WPX contest, however is the cw section. Lets hope for some fall out into the phone section of the band and conditions similar to the past week.

Incidentally for those of you who would like to boost your cw, or get back into it, or even take it up anew CW_Player is a great little programme written by Gabriel Rivat, F6DQM. This freeware program generates the standard Morse characters, Q codes, abbreviations, random series of characters and text files. It controls your knowledge through a Quiz test and helps you to get a good keying by monitoring your CW signals. Keying off air and verifying your transmission on the screen will let you go on air with less stress and more confidence. It’s available from CW Player. It’s now up to version 3.1.1

Sun:
There are a couple of tiny sunspots that will cause us no problems at all. Fireballs however are most interesting. They happen more often than you might think.

Every few days or so, somewhere on Earth, a small asteroid will hit the atmosphere producing a fantastic fireball.

Astronomers call them "bolides." They cast shadows, let loose a sonic boom, and explode in mid-air. On May 4, 2006, astronomer Jim Gamble caught one flying over El Paso, Texas
