An interesting week. I managed all 10 of the AM*WARD stations on 10m. As of writing I still need one more to get a gold certificate and 7 more for platinum all on other bands. I should have started sooner, it’s always the way. It finishes on 30th April.
Best DX apart from the WARD stations TT8SN (Chad) and D2EB (Angola). Last week one of the most popular DX was 5R8UI. The QSL card for that station could not be fitted in, so here it is now.
