An up and down week with Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday looking not too bad and Tuesday Wednesday and Sunday seeming very good. I had to push up the requirements for entry in to the list to 5 reported contacts. I worked ZP4KFX (Paraguay) and CP6UA (Bolivia) both on Ten Metres FT8. The new version of WSJT-X is now out, v 2.4.0 available from the usual sources. Don’t forget to refresh the cache on your browser with Ctrl F5 or you may not see the new version.
Best DX of the week IG9OSC (Linosa Is, Italy), FY5HB (French Guiana), and several Polish “1921” special stations. Also TM0BE. I worked him this year and last year and his QSL just came via the bureau.

Footy this week is all about possible transfers and who will win the European Champions League. Actually, more important for me is, will Brentford finally make it in to the Premier League by beating Swansea
