The early part of the week was a disaster. Saturday and Sunday were an improvement but even then considering there was a CQ WW contest on it was not what you would normally expect.
Best of the week probably YN2N (Nicaragua), D44PM (Cape Verde) and FY5KE (French Guiana). LU9DCE managed top DX and spotter on Tuesday and almost so on Wednesday.
Tuesday was also Puerto Rico day, the best of the QRZ.com pictures is KP4TF.

Sun: No spots again for the 3 rd day. So far this year we have had 193 days spotless, 71%. (spaceweather.com)
Stoke did beat Preston 1 - 0, they had a man sent off. It was a tough decision. We play Villa in the Caribao Cup on Thursday.
