WA2OQJ's 10 meter 5 Watt QRP SSB QSO with W7AAA

Just finished working V31MM on 12 meters and heard him say he was heading to 10 meters...So naturally I followed, I am more than happy to work Belize on 2 bands...Wasn't expecting much as since the SFI and Sunspot numbers had dropped recently the band has been sporadic at best...Today the SFI was back into the triple digits and the Sunspot number were on the rise. As I scanned the band looking for V31MM out of the background came this tremendous signal! I t was Doug W7AAA testing out his new Yagi he had just assembled and had it at only 15 feet high! great signal Doug! ...In case anyone is wondering...Yes! after I finished with Doug I found V31MM worked him again 2nd band at 5 watts and then as a bonus worked V31PM with 1 watt! I also worked HR2J Javier for another new country! 16 to go for QRP DXCC....
