Spotlight	WM2F in New Jersey

I enjoy CW the most and work the low bands for DX. Also like 15 meters in the morning. My shack is in the basement and very comfortable. My main rig is an Icom 756 ProII with and old TenTec Centaur Amp. My tower is 75 feet with an old Mosley TA-33. The low band antennas are a 40 meter delta loop and a 160 meter inverted L. Best 73's Gud DX

Illegal 10-Meter Operation:
A contributor states, "I was an over the road truck driver and I have to say that I am amazed at the availability and demand for illegal import 10m radios readily supplied and modified at any CB shop around a truck stop. Recently I have been monitoring a trucking company on 28.425 doing regular business near the St Louis area. Many nights I hear drivers talking regularly around 29.6 MHz from Ohio to Missouri. How common is? It seems not a lot is ever done about out of band operation unless you are running a cab company out of New York. I would have to say 8 out of 10 trucks I saw on the road had a 10-meter radio running inside, and they weren't hams. What can be done to stop this?"
