A very strange week with Tuesday bringing out a lot of stations from north and south America, Europe, south Africa the middle east and elsewhere. I’m still looking for 2 US states to get my Worked all States badge.
First up on Monday was 7X2VFK (Algeria), with a cracking QSL card well worth working for.
The best of the rest, LW2DOD, (Argentina), G0FWX (England), TM82ALC (France special), CU3AN (Azores), CX7CO (Uruguay), CE7VPQ and others especially on Tuesday. It’s true to say that we don’t get many Gs making a daily top DX on Ten Metres.
Most popular DX (three or more contacts, any mode)

Sun: Two spots from the new cycle are just about decaying away and will be gone by the time you read this.
Only international footy this past week. England drew against Wales in a friendly and beat Belgium 2 – 1 in a UEFA Cup match. Terrible first half, better in the second half when Kane came on and even he missed an easy header. Rashford may have to give his MBE back after the sitter he missed. England play Denmark on Thursday at Wembley.
