Dreadful during the week but raising the standards a bit at the weekend. Nothing really jumps out at me as being DX or exceedingly popular.
Maybe OR0YAL a special event club call to commemorate the 18th anniversary of HRH Princess Elisabeth of Belgium. But the rest was ordinary contacts, better than nothing. Again I was on other bands working C5YK (Gambia), 4U1A (UN Austria), GJ0, OD5. Not a single contact on 10m.

Sun: Currently we are 21 days spotless!

Earth is approaching a stream of gravelly debris from "rock comet" 3200 Phaethon, source of the annual Geminid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak on Dec. 13-14, right on the heels of a glaring full Moon. (spaceweather.com)

Stoke lost 1 – 2 to Blackburn and we didn’t even score a goal. We tried but the defence let us down big time. Hull away on Saturday. I will be at RAF Halton RS. sorting out the logging system for G1RAF.
