Since I had to dismount my CP6 vertical from the top of our flat house I am using just an 12m long wire as my “ALL BAND” antenna. I am matching it with a CG3000 ATU. On, 19th October 2013 I was surprised by a large amount of stations on the 10m band. This is generally very unusual with my current setup.
During a short time period between 1310 till 1431 UTC I have catched with my CW Skimmer stations from Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, European Russia, Fed.Rep. of Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Kazakhstan, Malta, Martinique, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Ukraine and United States.
The most of stations were active from the United States
