Doom and gloom everywhere, except here!
The conditions on Ten Metres were the best for ages. So much so that I had to up the ante to 5 reported contacts and 6 for the contest at the weekend. I haven’t had to do that for ages.
Well sought-after were TT8SN (Chad), VP8A (Falklands), ZP5DBC (Paraguay), PX2A (Brazil special) (for the contest weekend) and D2EB (Angola).
Patrick, ON4ARJ , made the week even more memorable by sending in a report. Saturday he worked, on SSB, EA3PT 5/9, EF5U 5/9, EB1A 5/9 and EA3NT 5/9. Thanks for that Patrick.

No sport to speak of. Plenty of re-runs of teams winning this that or the other. Also Sky have had plenty of sports personalities performing silly dances or antics to keep us amused. I’m reasonably impressed with the quality. How long can they keep it up?
