10-10 International - Ten-Ten International Net, or 10-10 for short,
is an organization of amateur radio operators dedicated to maintaining
high levels of amateur radio communications on the 10-meter amateur band
(28.0-29.7 MHz). Established in 1962, 10-10 has grown continuously since
that day, with some ups and downs according to the numbers of sunspots
and the openness of the band. As you read this, the number of 10-10
numbers issued to members is over 70,000. 10-10 would welcome your
membership in the organization if you have an amateur radio license with
10-meter privileges. 10-10 offers the 10-meter enthusiast
the opportunity to share in a wide variety of activities
internationally, not the least of which is meeting new and old friends.
By keeping the band active through participation in 10-10 nets, QSO
parties, and certificate collection, 10-10 offers both satisfaction and
challenges, while promoting learning and courteous operating practices.
The combination of on-the-air activities, awards, a bi-annual
convention, and the 10-10 News creates an unusually strong bond among
10-10 member.
