I’ve been playing with PSK31 and RTTY as someone at Halton RAF club has expressed an interest. DXbase WinWarbler will do it nicely though I’m used to HRD. Well, it makes a break from FT8 and FT4. No real DX worked this week though I did get a new US State.
Best days were the weekend with Saturday pretty full. Still it was a contest. In a good year you might expect to get near on 10000 contacts each day.
VP8PJ was top dog again along with HR2B (Honduras), ZS6WAB/B and ZS95SARL(South Africa) and TO7DL (Reunion Is)

Sun: New-cycle sunspot AR2758 announced itself with a roar on March 8th when it bubbled up from beneath the sun's surface and emitted a series of strong shortwave radio bursts. One of the static-y outbursts was very strong, rivalling bursts typically recorded during Solar Maximum.
Stoke managed a 5 – 1 victory over fellow strugglers Hull. For me I’d much rather they won 1 – 0 five times than 5 – 0 once. There you go. We are now 17 th. Difficult to climb much higher quickly but staying 17 th would be satisfactory. The big disappointment was that captain Joe Allen who was stretched off and will miss the rest of the season and the EURO 2020 finals after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon in the closing stages of the first half of Saturday’s emphatic win over Hull.
