12 meters and 17 meters have been my money bands this summer. 12m was open yesterday and today, but 10 meters continues its slumber. Only 5 DX on 10m since the end of May.

I would think the Tri bander might tune for 10, not sure as I’ve only used wire antennas. Good luck es 73.

My Mosley's a 10/15/20 tribander ... my fan dipole is 6/10/15/20/40/75/160. (15 tunes on the 40 wire.) I've been thinking about adding 12 and 17 to it since tuning for both on my fan dipole is sub-optimal. As it is, I typically "forget" 15 meters exists so I'm lucky to remember to check that band.

Have the wire and parts to add 12 and 17 -- if the weather breaks this weekend and it stops raining here long enough I may be able to do it. Thanks for the tip on 12 and 17.
