If I can ever get my SmallWonderLabs 20M PSK kit.. I'll bust 20 wide open... I love 10 meter voice.. It's close to my roots, of CB, but it's ham radio. I guess I like it, because the propogation characteristics are similar.
I had an old Cobra 29 once upon a time, in my little Suzuki Samurai.. No, it wasn't a mudder, I actually took care of it.. Had a whip, on a ball mount, mounted on the side. I remember I was sitting in my driveway one night, caught a brief opening, found a hole, keyed the mic, and made it to New Jersey, on a bone stock radio.
I was hooked like a catfish...
Later on down the road, I was introduced to CB sideband, with a Grant XL, on the same whip.. That time, my voice appeared in Washington State. From CB sideband, I became a ham.
10 meters is fun... but I love the roar, and heterodyne of CB sideband sometimes... Those are my roots.
