and March 2 but heard on Feb 23. It`s about time for the new
all-female crewe of four to take over as publicized last year (Glenn

WOR) HAM DX on 10, 12, 15 metres It takes a contest for hams to exploit MUFs rather than assuming bands
are closed with no activity. Nice thing about 10m is that skip
distances are so long that anything is likely to be DX rather than
domestic. Logged all this in 17 minutes, March 5 at 1603-1620, with
qrz.com lookup info: 21426 USB, at 1603, V31XX says he is QSYing to .495 on 10 meters.

the 28200-28300+ range, are they all off? Not much phone activity on
12 or 17m, bands not eligible for contest, but: 24980 USB, at 1620, one QSO concludes without ever giving own call Later circa 1850 on caradio, the Crazy Band is hopping on 27025v-AM
but all sound very domestic. DXMAPS at 2010 UT show 6m Es MUF at 72 MHz across N America, not
unusual, but never breaching 88 for FMDX. At 28 MHz, huge contacting
N/S America mostly F2 or TEP, not sporadic E (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2022 UT March 5
