    I'm not a contester.

    I'm not averse to piggy backing a contest to get a new DXCC or band, but I'm not interested in entering.

    so while 10m has been bouncing this last week or so, I moved off 10 yesterday to 12m and have racked up a load today

    Kazakhstan, & US as well as a load of Europe

    I have a big old blank on the west coast.

    East coast by the hundred, a fair few mid west, but nothing on the Pacific.... yet!

    eh, I never have the time to sit down and enjoy the bands when they're open. I only do it after dark, not much DX to have. Anyway, I got my self familiar with JT65 mode, I was working that last night, quite interesting stuff, but since I was using 40m I didn't reach anyone outside Europe. I did hear a Turkish and American station thou, which I never did before on 40m.

    I'm using Sandpiper MV5+3 antenna, it's only about 3m tall, so very limited performance on 40m.

    Last night E51NOU was very strong on 12m and 10m CW in my location. Great opening from Hawaii Islands in the morning via L/P as well. Plenty of JA stations on higher bands ... even of FM on 29Mhz ;) Next week CQ WW SSB , good chance for some new ones if you need. Good Luck.
