Just letting everyone know that 10 meters is on fire this morning. All over Europe from Ireland to Russia booming in to CONUS. Sure, there is a contest but these are the best conditions Ive seen in years. Get some. |

For those who have radios that are capable of receiving the bottom end of the 10m ham band, if you tune in 28.200 MHz. in CW mode (or 28.201 MHz. in LSB mode) and listen, you will hear beacons from all over the world with the conditions the way they are right now. They are part of the IARU world-wide beacon network. They each take a turn and transmit their ID then 4 short bursts at 100 watts, then 10 watts, then 1 watt then 100 mW.
Here's the lineup (from the website):
NCDXF/IARU International Beacon Network
4U1UN UNITED NATIONS NYC
VE8AT NUNAVUT, CANADA
W6WX SAN JOSE, CA
KH6WO LAIE,OAHU HI
ZL6B MASTERTON, NEW ZEALAND
VK6RBP ROLYSTONE, AUSTRALIA
JA2IGY MT ASAMA, JAPAN
RR9O NOVOSIBIRSK, RUSSIA
VR2B HONG KONG, CHINA
4S7B COLOMBO,SRI LANKA
ZS6DN PRETORIA, S.AFRICA
5Z4B KIAMBU KENYA, AFRICA
4X6TU TEL AVIV , ISRAEL
OH2B KARKKILA, FINLAND
CS3B MADEIRA ISLAND
LU4AA BUENOS AIRES,ARGENTINA
OA4B LIMA,PERU

It's fascinating how many parts of the world can be heard right now. 10/11m is alive!
