10 METRES ---> Paddy O'Reilly, S79MAD is active on around 28.500 MHz at 13
UTC during the week and at 10 UTC duirng the weekends. In a recent message
Paddy states that "with the poor conditions it seems very few stations are
active up on 10 metres. The band always seems dead: so why bother to QSY? On
the first week-end in August, the 10 metres band was alive. But not with
amateur activity. CB operation is spreading illegally beyond the limit of the
27 MHz band. It is important that hams world wide keep this band alive during
this low part of the solar cycle. The legal CB channels are overcrowded, and
those operators see all these empty spare 'channels' right next door. So, get
onto ten, otherwise when the conditions pick up again there will be anarchy
on the airwaves. Use it or lose it."
CISA ACTIVITY ---> In July John, NL7TB/VY1ISL and Bill, VY1AU activated the
first fresh water Yukon islands for the Canadian Islands Awards Program
