The most popular DX was undoubtedly mounted by the Italian DXpedition Team, A82X for CW + SSB and A82Z for Digital, both Liberia. The other most sought after DX was ZK3A, Tokelau Is.
Me, I’ve spent a fair bit of time getting to grips with DXLab suite of programs. It’s good but a lot to learn. I have been using Ham Radio Deluxe but something seems awry with the support site.
Wednesday Bill, KC8GTR, worked: CE7VPQ 4/4, CA4PSH 4/4, and PS36OKT 4/4SSB. He says, “I was using a new home brew 4 ele yagi at 43 feet with TS-590sg rig . 1'st , 2'nd and 3'rd contacts in that order!” That is some achievement, home built. Bill send us some pictures. Was it a kit or a plan from a magazine? Now a home brew Linear Amp?

Sun: No sunspots for 7 days.
An international break for footy this week. All quiet at Stoke after our first win of the season beating Swansea 1 – 2 at Swansea. We were 1 – 0 down inside a minute so quite a fight back
