10m is easy when it's open and certainly no need for 100w CW a lot of the time.
5 watts FM simplex into the US and Canada is a blast.

Is M8 the new licence prefix? I guess the M7 allocation is probably getting full I suppose.

But yes 10m has been brilliant, the band has been full, 12m is good too at the moment.

I was going to ask the same question, I thought M6 was a recent thing but these new prefixes are anyones guess. Pimp would suggest it's the new direct from cornflake packet to full licence prefix.
my friend grafter, seems like you are using a very offensive tone in the reply.
