were dreadful all week. The CW contest at the weekend did not help much really as it normally does. Note, Tuesday not a single station was spotted 3 times. Best of the rest: TX7T (Marquesas Is), ZD7W (St Helena), PS2T (Brazil) and 6W7PCT (Senegal)
I managed PZ5W (Suriname), 9Y4DG (Trinidad and Tobago), V31MA (Belize) and PJ5/SP6IXF (Saba, St Eustatius) but on 17m not 10m, drat. In fact I’ve not had a contact on 10m for over 2 weeks.

Sun: Spotless for 14 days. Is this the solar minimum, at last?
Stoke beat Wigan 2 – 1 last Saturday with a goal in extra time. To be honest we could have had 4 or more but it’s the three points that count.
Blackburn next Saturday, I’ll be there.
