Yet again I worked nothing as I was in China. More specifically in Shanghai visiting our daughter who we have not seen for 4 years since Covid started. I didn’t take any kit with me as it was stacks of paper work just to get myself and my wife into China never mind a radio.Easily the most sought after was T31TT(Kiribati), FY5KE (French Guiana), XQ3SK (Chile), TF/PD9DX (Iceland) and oddly EA8DMF (Tenerife).
Whilst in Shanghai I did come across this. OK it’s not strictly Ten Metres but it was pretty good and to do with early electronics. Remember the ubiquitous BC108?
It’s an American IPA at 5.5% ABV (Alcohol By Volume) with a most excellent taste.
