It’s not very much fun reporting on the state of Ten Metres at the moment. Friday and Sunday were the best days but better than what? I did work some Europeans on 10m and managed to get into the spotters list for Monday and Friday. But I also went on a few other bands.
Best of the DX probably 3D2DJ (Fiji), ZD7FT (St Helena), 3B8CW (Mauritius) and C5SP (Gambia).

Sun: A sunspot is emerging in the sun's northern hemisphere. Its magnetic polarity identifies it as a probable member of new Solar Cycle 25. This is the second Solar Cycle 25 sunspot we've seen this month, continuing a trend of low but intensifying Cycle 25 activity. The next solar cycle is coming, after all. (spaceweather.com)
Stoke lost 1 – 0 away to Brentford in the FA Cup. A poor/boring match with both sides fairly equal. But they scored the goal so they win. Ha! Now we can concentrate on the Championship and staying in it. Millwall on Saturday at Stoke, I’ll be there.
