Despite of the minimum of the sunspot cycle...
...I managed to work a station from Brasilia on the 10m-Band. You should know, that the 10m-Band is best to use for DX, when there is a high ionisation of the atmosphere. This happens most likely, when the sun is very active. And the sun is very active during the maximum of the sunspot cycle. But we are in the minimum of this cycle, so 10m-Band isn't very often "open" for long distances (shorter distances are very likely during summer time). With high power, you should be able to work some DX during big contests, but I am using low output of 5W, so it is remarkable. So today not an all time new one, but a new one on 10m.
