Monday to Friday was a bit lean, Saturday and Sunday were much better. LU9DCE (Argentina) was on the ball again spotting and being spotted. I worked some US stations and SA stations but I’m still short 2 US states for worked all states, Wyoming and Hawaii. SSB or data mode, any band will be fine. The best of the rest KP4WQ (Puerto Rico), VK2BY, VK6XI, VK6NSB (Australia) and 7Q7RU Malawi.
David, VK3DRH , worked: DS4GQR -06, YO4RYU/MM -12, VU2NIL -12 and plenty of JA's & YB's/YC's. He heard: RA0LQ -18, DS3EXX -17, BG8RK -6, HL2ZN -13, LZ1VDR -17, Z33Z -16, UW5ZM, and R6BH -11. All were FT8 on Saturday. He says, “Stations worked were during my local early- to mid- afternoon. Checking on conditions in the evening it was still going with a few VKs working Europe. I tried a few but only have an EFHW antenna so didn't make any QSOs. I'm new to 10m and having read your reports for past 12 months and only ever seen local VKs and occasional ZLs on the band I really enjoyed having the band come alive and work some calls.” Good stuff David. As you keep reading in these reports this scatty band, up one day down the next. I gather south Australia has recently gone for some special measures, I hope it stays away from you in Victoria. Stay safe and keep working Ten Metres.

Earth is passing through a stream of debris from Comet Tempel-Tuttle, source of the annual Leonid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak on the morning of Nov. 17th with 15 to 20 Leonids per hour.
Only international soccer this past week and England lost to Belgium. 2 – 0. The Belgian defence was terrific. Their scoring free kick was the best. David Beckham eat your heart out.
Stoke play Huddersfield on Saturday. Already we have lost James McLean to Covid19.
