Wandered down to the radio club and hooked up the FT-450 to the tri-bander this afternoon. Cranked it towards South America and ran into quite a pile-up.
May well be worth packing something for 10m on your next activation.
Should be good news for the 12m challenge too.

Had Brazil & Argentina earlier this evening armchair copy 599.
Listened for the US activators on 12m at the time but couldn’t hear them here.
Thanks & 73,

In reply to G0VOF:
Cheers Mark,
I saw Bob VP8LP spotted on the cluster working the 10m band. Worked him, then found a clear frequency and put out a cq.
I couldn’t buy a contact into Noth America on 10m
For anyone interested 10m (& therefore 12m) is wide open at present. good signals from all over
