Unbelievable 10-Meter Activity for CQ-WW Contest

This weekend is the CQ World Wide CW contest, one of the largest of the year.  When I woke up this morning, I checked out the waterfall display from my Flex6600M, and could not believe my eyes: 10-Meters was wall to wall CW signals from 28.000 to 28.200 MHz.

Zooming the display out so show the bottom 200 KHz of the band loses some of the fine details – pretty much every 200 Hz there is a CW signal.  In almost 55 years of ham radio, I’ve never experienced as much 10-Meter activity.
