6 and 10
The Six and Ten Reporting Club is an informal group of radio amateurs, mostly from the UK, who are interested in propagation studies at frequencies around the HF-VHF boundary (mainly the 6 and 10 metre amateur bands). The club produces a monthly newsletter (the Six and Ten Report) that includes analysis of 28 MHz propagation based on beacon monitoring, analysis of 50 MHz activity reports broken down by propagation mode, reports and discussions on unusual propagation events, compilations of solar and geomagnetic data, lists of activity world-wide, beacon news, and results of on-going experiments. The Report is usually published on this site about 5-6 weeks after the end of the month. The report is compiled by Martin Harrison G3USF,and is an activity of the Radio Society of Great Britain’s Propagation Studies Committee.
There are now a lot of web resources available and lists of beacons on the various bands. I would recommend the following links:
HF Beacons and 6m Beacons maintained by Martin Harrison, G3USF
G0AEV’s 28MHz Beacons pages
Onto the reports. These are compiles as quickly as possible but as you can image are a retrospective look at conditions from a number of different sources. The short form reports are based on early reports from contributors and the longer reports are finalised when the full details are in. All the reports are now stored in a single place on Dropbox. That way they can be accessed a lot easier than on these pages
I am aham with call-sign VU2DSI from INDIA. I am studying about propagation& sunspot activity from 2005. I would like to become a member of your 6 &10.P;ease enrol me as amember.
Can I send my oservations of band activity on 10 M & its relation with activities going on the sun?
I am very much active on 10 M & contacts on 10 are more than 35000 now.ok.
Please respond.Regards to all.73.

I will certainly pass on your details to Martin, G3USF who manages the report. It is a very informal thing. Hope yuo enjoyed the report and it was useful

I’m curious if they are interested in more beacon reports? Is there a place that I could enter beacon activity or do they have enough reporting stations?
Best regards,

Mike,
I can pass on your info to Martin Harrison, G3USF who collates all the data. Is that helpful?

Alex,
That would be fine. Have him email me if he would like additional reports for the central U.S.

Many thanks Luis
The UKSMG website also has a beacon list and the ability to enter reports against any beacon on-line http://uksmg.org/beacons/
I was planning on revamping this page so I will make sure the links are a bit more prominent
