What kind of antenna are you using? I had a G5RV that was really deaf on 10 m. A 10 m dipole in the attic was better.

John,
Its normal for ten to sound quiet under the band conditions we have now. There are less atmospheric noise effects at the higher frequency bands.

I would keep trying the band at different times of the daylight. That is when 10 is most active. You also might put up a simple 10m vertical dipole hanging from a tree for more DX capable reception. The low end can be 4 feet from the ground. Or more if you can.
