Tuesday was a monster day, lots of stations and loads of DX. VP2EIH (Anguilla), VP8LP (Falklands), HZ1EARTH (Saudi Arabia) and more just for Tuesday.
As for the rest of the week, Thursday was dead, just D44PM (Cape Verde). Saturday and Sunday revived things somewhat with ZL3IO New Zealand, 4S7VG (Sri Lanka) and YW200BC/1 (Venezuela)
I’ve just got a new mobile (cell) phone. Most of my radio time has been spent getting it to do what I want not what Android wants.
David, VK3DRH , sent in a splendid report for Monday. He worked YC0SAS +19, BH4BNQ -09, JE6IWS -13, 9N1CA -04, JA5PJ +07, YB9KA -13, HS0YNM -06, FK8HA +13 and AP2NK -05al on data.
He says, “Switched the radio on whilst working at home during my local afternoon (0500z) to find the band open. Plenty of JA's and YB's then 9N1CA pops up with a CQ call. I immediately answered (although not expecting a response as I only have a EFHW antenna) but got an a reply and 9N1CA is in the log and a new DXCC for me!
About 20 minutes later AP2NK appears. If I could propagate into Nepal why not Pakistan? This contact took a few overs to complete but AP2NK is also in the log.
When the band is humming even a humble wire antenna will get amongst the action.”
Too right! Absolutely David but don’t forget to spot them, even the “ordinary” ones. At least folk know you are active and the band is open to VK. Plus you my get into the table on these pages.
Most popular DX (three or more contacts, any mode)

Stoke drew 1 – 1 against Forest, we are going nowhere quickly. QPR this coming Saturday. It’s got added interest as it’s my son-in law’s team. They are just above us in the table. Then only one more game after that.
