    My dad, who is a General-class operator, says 10 meter has been really

    wide open for quite some time, which is unusual for 10 usually.



    Can confirm. On 10 meters, I've made voice contacts with Hawaii and southern Argentina (roughly 5,000 mi each) over the past week, as well as a bunch to the West Coast (from Ohio) that sounded like they were next door. Tons of digital contacts to Japan and Oceania as well. The routine nature of that band opening is out of the ordinary in my limited experience, anyway.

    This post is a few weeks old but I can still confirm that 10 meter is wide open. I got on yesterday and managed to make contact from Colorado to Italy, France, and Slovak Republic on CW using 100 watts. Its awesome!
