Not a bad week on Ten Metres overall. I worked a lot of European stations but SU9JG (Egypt) and OH0V (Aland Is) stand out.
There have been some shocking distorted signals about on FT8. One was +27 with me and had 6 simultaneous spots in the band activity screen!
Plenty of DX about, just check the lists below to see if you’re there.

Sun: No spots.
Earth is entering a stream of debris from giant Comet Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak on Aug. 12-13 with many fireballs slicing through the light of a nearly full Moon. It's not even August yet, but NASA's network of all-sky cameras is already detecting a few Perseid fireballs every night over the USA. (spaceweather.com)
The first Ashes Test starts Thursday. Good stuff.
