Not the best of weeks on Ten Metres. I managed a few American stations and YS1RR in San Salvador. I had a late crack at FT4 Round Up. Good fun if somewhat different but all on 20m.
Most sought after 7Q7RU and 7Q6M both Malawi, D2EB (Angola), TZ1CE (Mali), FR4QT (Reunion Is) and quite a few more.

Sun: Two spots with AR2790 being more potent than it looks. Yesterday, the relatively small spot unleashed a C7-class solar flare and hurled a CME toward Earth.
Stoke beat Middlesbrough by a single well taken goal on Saturday. Tuesday we played Cardiff and lost 1 – 2 and they scored all the goals! Work that one out. Derby away next Saturday.
