10-10 International - Ten-Ten International Net, or 10-10 for
short, is an organization of amateur radio operators dedicated to
maintaining high levels of amateur radio communications on the 10-meter
amateur band (28.0-29.7 MHz). Established in 1962, 10-10 has grown
continuously since that day, with some ups and downs according to the
numbers of sunspots and the openness of the band. As you read this, the
number of 10-10 numbers issued to members is over 70,000. 10-10 would
welcome your membership in the organization if you have an amateur radio
license with 10-meter privileges. 10-10 offers the 10-meter
enthusiast the opportunity to share in a wide variety of activities
internationally, not the least of which is meeting new and old friends. By
keeping the band active through participation in 10-10 nets, QSO parties,
and certificate collection, 10-10 offers both satisfaction and challenges,
while promoting learning and courteous operating practices. The
combination of on-the-air activities, awards, a bi-annual convention, and
the 10-10 News creates an unusually strong bond among 10-10 members.
Your webmistress has been a member since 1994 and has made many
friends on the bands in 10-10.
