You think things are improving then it all goes downhill. I thought Friday to Sunday would have been good with massive field day activity. But no, just Sunday was good. I heard nothing on Ten. Even on 20m I only heard 5 /P stations and none of them heard me. Best of the rest were, FY5KE (French Guiana, No FT8), TI200I (Costa Rica), YW200BC/1 (Venezuela), L21RCA (Argentina) and a few others.

Contests: Information from WA7BMN
This weekend we have the SSB version of the German Worked all Europe contest.
Remember, this part of the year is usually good for lowband activities from the southern hemisphere. For a well equipped station and a dedicated operator worldwide DX is possible on 80m. In addition, the nowadays poor 10m band surprisingly often shows short DX openings with good rates and useful multipliers.
From our point of view, the WAEDCs are significant landmarks in the yearly contest calender, providing highest level radiosport for serious contesters and fun for part time entrants and DXers alike. Join the WAEDC!

Sun: 4 (or more) sunspots at the moment. On Sept. 5th, decaying sunspot AR2865 produced a B7-class solar flare. The explosion sent a shadowy shock wave rippling through the sun's lower atmosphere and may have hurled a faint CME toward Earth. If so, we would feel its effects on Sept. 8-9. None of this has improved conditions on Ten metres, yet!
The England cricket team yet again snatched defeat from jaws of victory. We cannot bat out a final innings to win or save a match. Bring back Geoff Boycott I say. To be fair India played well especially their bowlers.
The international footy break ends this week with England playing Poland on Wednesday. Interesting for me is the Under 21 match against Kosovo. I hope that Joe Bursik will be playing in goal for England. He’s Stoke’s first choice goalie. Saturday Stoke play Huddersfield at home, I’ll be there.
