Always surprising what is possible on an otherwise dead 10m band. Besides the
usual scatter to the southeast which was pretty good for this point of the
cycle I also had some occasional sporadic E signals calling in.  I lost about
5min due to a power supply failure.

I had experimented with different outboard filter settings and found the SCAF-1
and NIR-12 to be helpful in combination with the Pro3's NR.  I just wish Icom
had the TS870's SPAC filter built in as a filter option.  I really miss this
one.

A special thank you for the QSOs goes to the local stations and congratulations
to DL3TD for a very nice score!
