No doubt about the most popular Ten Metre DX this week, A25RU (Botswana Russian DXpedition Team), every day except Tuesday, CB6I (Chile Special event) and Wednesday, V51MA (Namibia).
There was lots of other DX with Saturday being an exceptional day, Sunday not so. Both Saturday and Sunday were contest days, I didn’t bother. I did manage to work VP8 and 9G5 both on 10m FT8 and S79 but on 20m FT4!
Friday, Patrick, ON4RJ worked some Italians, IZ4JMA -01, IZ8DFO -09 IU0MZH -05 using data modes.
Not the most distant DX.
Saturday, Steven, WB0LQC, worked OA4DTU 5/9, OA4SS 5/9, CO6LE 5/9, CX2DK 5/9 all on SSB.
A nice little collection there, Steven (or is it Steve?) OA4 is Peru, CO6 Cuba and CX2 Uruguay.

England soccer team did better than the cricket team. However the third ODI (One Day International) against India was corker and not decided until the end of the last over. India won!
Stoke play Bristol City on Friday (Good Friday, also a UK Bank holiday!)
