[SEDXC] 10 meters

[David Thompson]

Seems like EU still has better openings to W1 and 2 than Atlanta.  Loud 
signals only hit S9 on occassion including OE6MBG, ON4HIL (worked with my 10 
watt Yaesu), a M0 rag chewing with another nearby G who was mobile (not 
really readable).  Later EA1ALE came thru at S7.  The rest of EU was 
reaadble just in bursts (DL7OK, SP, HA8, EB7DX, OP4K).   On CW A61BK hit 579 
for three transmissions working a N3.

I noticed a TA2 on 28498 calling CQ with no answers (S1 to 4) and a 7X2HX on 
28502 (worked him) at 5/4 me 5/5 with 100 watts.  Seems they were not 
copying the rest of the East coast.  A W4 said the 7X was booming in Florida 
just after my QSO.   On 28402 there was a SV2 who briefly hit S5 then was 
gone.  He came back to me and disappeared during his transmission.

Looks like the band peaks first about 30 to 40 (2030Z) minutes before the 
W1/2 area and last week additional EU came in around 2330Z for a second 
peak.

12 meters had a brief opening before 10 opened at 20Z.  Later there was a W3 
working a G who was ESP here.  A VP9 was loud but I had to run so did not 
stick around.
