Not a bad week on Ten Metres. I worked quite a few Europeans on FT8. There is surprisingly little FT4 on Ten.
The standout station of the week is R7AB/P. He was top on 4 days of the week. I’m not sure why he was /P. However just look at his 2m antenna, wow!
The best of the rest KP4PUA (Puerto Rico), SO1980LL (Poland) and SU1SK (Egypt, but may be a pirate.)

Sun: Three sunspots but more could appear.
Earth is approaching a stream of debris from giant Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. First contact should occur in the nights ahead, producing the first few Perseids of 2021. Meteor rates will skyrocket in August, reaching ~100 per hour on the moonless night of August 11-12 when Earth cuts through the heart of the debris stream. (spaceweather.com)
Now the tennis has gone and the golf is gone, there is or there will be “The Hundred”, sort of cricket, sort of!! I can’t knock it because it hasn’t started yet. But England did beat Pakistan in an exciting last over of the 3 rd T20 match
