Not a great week but there was some DX about. Sunday conditions however went through the roof, so much so that to fit the report in the space available I had to raise the bar to 5 or more reported contacts to get into the list.
Creating loads of interest were HP1MRA (Panama), , TI2CC and JS (both Costa Rica), FY5HB (French Guiana), J68HZ (St Lucia), 4A60F (Mexico special) and just look below at Sunday for a whole host of DX.
Reports this week from W2JPG, and John KZ4USA (good callsign that one)
Tuesday John worked too many to list! He says, “A great day for 10 meters! Since 10am the band has been open to all of the East coast plus S.Africa, S.America and Cuba. I worked 28 stations so far and it's still going strong. Happy days are here again! Easter blessings to all!”
Sunday, Jack worked VP2EH and heard other stations in the USA.
Thanks to both our contributors.

Sun: No spots. This story may give you a sense of déjà vu. A new comet has been discovered, and in late May it will pass by the sun near the orbit of Mercury. No, it's not Comet ATLAS (C/2019 Y4), which is currently falling apart on a similar trajectory. Instead, this is Comet SWAN (C/2020 F8). Check out spaceweather.com for more details
No different news on the virus front. We have to help each other so we don’t crack under the strain. But we have to help at a distance. 2.5 metres is a minimum!
