I have been listening to the 10m contest on and off the past couple days. Seems like the band is fairly open. I have a 20+ year old mag mount CB antenna, stuck on a piece of steel pipe on the ground outside a first story window, connected to Radio Shack HTX-10. The stations are booming in right now.
Question - do you think anyone will bring out a new 10m SSB mobile for the increasing sunspot activity? I don't ask this for myself, as I am satisfied with my radios. However, I'd like to get my Dad back into the hobby and it might be a fun way to do it.
I see that Alinco makes a 10m FM only.
