24 hours on 10m
|
Next (December 14-15) weekend is the ARRL 10m contest this is both phone and CW contest and I will be taking part as CW only. I wanted to have a peek at conditions on 10m before the weekend arrived. I brought my WSPR transmitter by ZachTek into action. I set it up for 10m only and let it run for 24 hours. This would give me an idea of the best times to be on the 10m band. I also plan on another 24-hour session from Thursday morning to Friday morning.  |
Time stamp of when 10m is best for me

This session in the post ran from Tuesday morning until Wednesday morning. From my results, the band starts to come alive around 8 am local time and drops off at 8 pm local time. 10m seems to peak from noon to 3 pm local time here. After 3 pm it was still in good shape but was up and down until a sudden drop at 8 pm. The Kp index ranged from Kp3 to Kp2 over the 24 hours. My operating times will be morning to early evening mainly within North America.
