Did you not notice that steve himself said it was a "self serving" post???
For those of us gathering points for a club effort, its 90% sure that 10M
will not have any volume other than
Maybe 20 or 30 big guns who have a stacked array on 10. On the other hand,
it should be fine
For those who want to exercise their 10-10 numbers. For most SS types, they
will scores more points on any other band except 10m

Gee whiz ... Steve tries to encourage folks to utilize all the bands and
keep an eye out for additional openings, and you guys do just the
opposite. How is the sport well served by saying 10m is worth no more
than a contact or two on the second radio?
