    Kicked off 0001Z June 30 UTC - now in its second day by 3 hours... and I've not
    heard ONE SINGLE PEEP on 10 meters.... I work from home so pretty easy to
    monitor 28.400 and 28.385 (their suggested contest calling frequencies)... and zilch.

    Not sure if it's a lack of interest thing? Lack of propagation? Likely just a combination
    of the two - I was hoping for it to be more of an event to start working my 10m
    homebrew/conversion 1970s rig I rescued (which works GREAT!) but alas.... nothing yet.

    I have not heard a station on 10 for a while. I really wanted to get my 1010 membership but no activity! Hey folks, get out there and work us!

    Thanks from

    It's just the band. I listened all weekend - many times leaving the radio on 28.400 turned
    up loud enough to hear in the other room - never heard a peep. Not at 28.385 which is
    the 10-10 net frequency. Back when I collected my 10-10 QSOs to apply I worked all 10
    of them in less than half an hour during a normal 10-10 event - but the band was wide open.

    Oh well... we're out there!
