I'm looking forward to a 10 meter contest because I don't have many contacts on this band (Ham only 4 years). The North American 10m contacts I have made from Ohio last year were almost entirely on the west coast, skipping the entire midwest. I have a 3 element tribander at 20 feet, it doesn't matter what direction I point it, I only hear the west coast. I may put up a low dipole in an attempt to get closer stations. Any advice for operating on 10 meters this time of year? (The beam antenna does reach South America, Europe and Australia quite nicely but not recently)
