FG/F1JXQ > Ham Radio Amateur 2.0 & DXpedition 10m, 6m & 2m

10 meters is probably the hardest band in HF band to make DX, probably the reason why there is not a lot and enought HAM on 28 Mhz, in my opinion, to "occupate" the band. 28Mhz can be called a versatile band but when it work, it's "magic" ! Like today a long in distance and duration opening on 10 meters from FG to Europe, Africa, large part of US and some cool DX (Marocco).

I wanted to test 6 meters band in FG, because this band got a lot of restriction in France where some french departement don't allow 50Mhz activity. I decided to build and use a double bazooka antenna that seems to works really great with QSO with South America and USA.

By chance, it was organized the week-end of 5 and 6 march a US Contest on 10 meters band. Hundred of contacts in few hours, a cool pill up from FG.
