As of today there are 7 US 8M experimental license holders. The band has been mostly dead in North America but if anyone is interested in setting up a monitor for your Summer season, and/or possibly a cross band contact to 10 or 6 let me know.
The frequencies granted are the 40 Mhz ISM band, 40.66 - 40.7 Mhz. Modes, that I'm allowed are, SSB, CW, FT8 and WSPR
The US operators are using a dial of 40.662 and transmit WSPR ready to switch to FT8 once the band opens.
I'm located in southern California, grid DM13. 10 meters to VK is pretty common and I have made 6M contacts to VK most Winter solstices, (your Summer solstice) over the last several years.
Any questions just ask, here or email direct, I'm good in QRZ.
Thanks
