10metre 29.600 FM simplex activity

 just heard  Murray ZL3MH on 29.600 MHz FM simplex chatting to a whole swag of VK's between 05:30 and 05:45 UTC,   s9,  now that's not a big deal, but this was received  on my quad band FM, using a 2metre 1/4 wave whip inside a cupboard in my shack.  If it had been a 10metre external antenna, then I guess he would have been 20/9 +

The point here is, when 10metres is, then its OPEN.

 Seems that over the last month there has been some good openings on 10metre FM (29MHz), it appears that JA like to use 29.200 MHz FM simplex, as well as the usual 29.600MHz FM simplex. There has also been some VK-Nth America contacts on 29.600MHz FM simplex.
