What a fantastic week on Ten. Most sought after were 3DA0RU (Eswatini), J5T (Guinea-Bissau), S9OK (Sao Tome and Principe) and 3DA0WW (Eswatini), popped in for good measure on Sunday.
J5T is the Italian DXpedition Team. I do like their QSL card.
I did manage to work 3DA0RU on Ten Metres. It used to be Swaziland.

Sun: Sunspot AR2886 has a simple magnetic field that poses little threat for strong solar flares. A large southern hole in the sun's atmosphere is spewing solar wind toward Earth. ETA: Oct. 20th. Solar wind speeds could top 500 km/s, sparking auroras around the Arctic Circle.
Earth is entering a stream of debris from Halley's comet, source of the annual Orionid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak on Thursday morning, Oct. 21st. Interference from the Hunter's Moon will reduce visible meteor rates from the usual 20 to only 5 Orionids per hour.
Stoke City lost to Sheffield United 2 – 1 away after leading 0 – 1 for 80 minutes. Two defensive errors and three points gone.
Bournemouth on Tuesday night at the Bet 365 (Stoke) stadium and we lost 0 – 1. A single fumble by our goalie and we were 0 – 1 down. We’ve dropped down the table a bit.
Millwall away on Saturday, I have a ticket
