Good skip here in Virginia tonight.

Just listened to a guy in Florida (K4NBC) on 10 meter (29.52). Even got a nice little video of it. 781 miles away picked up on my Uniden BCT15X with a Diamond 130N at 35' on 65' of LMR 400. I was only able to hear his side of it but I thought that was pretty cool.

I thought 10 meter was 28.00-29.00 MHz?

Just listened to a guy in Florida (K4NBC) on 10 meter (52.90). Even got a nice little video of it. 781 miles away picked up on my Uniden BCT15X with a Diamond 130N at 35' on 65' of LMR 400. I was only able to hear his side of it but I thought that was pretty cool.

52 mhz would be six meters, not ten.

We had pretty decent E-skip on 10 and 6 meters this afternoon.

29.52 is the correct freq.

 

[k3td]

Wow - was that an AM signal Stephen?

The scanner is auto set to scan that at NFM so I'm guessing that was it. Not sure what the legality of putting HAM catches on youtube is but if it's ok I'll shoot it up.

My error Stephen, 29.52 MHz is the input frequency for 10 meter repeaters on 29.62 so I'm sure you are right about it being FM. You were hearing one side of the conversation because there was E-skip propagation between you and the ham you heard on the input frequency, but not between you and the ham he/she was talking to who would also have been transmitting on the same input frequency.

No problem with uploading ham conversations to youtube.

28.0 - 29.7 MHz. Above 29.5 is FM.

He did not say 52.mhz... he said 29.52 10 meters is 28.000 to 29.700 so 29.52 would be in this area.

Very nice video of what E-skip sounds like on FM!
