I have been working to VK and ZL on 15 every day, about 0200-0400Z. It is a short path to the east Coast and oftens occurs concurrently with LP From VK /ZL to Europe. I am hopeful that 10 meters will come alive, but right now for DX, 15 is the money band here- Having a JK10/15 meter interlaced yagi at 50 feet doesn't hurt. </div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">Please let me know where to send donations to your DXpedition from the National Capitol DX Association, where I am the Lead Director.
