 
What a phenomenal week. The weekend was of course the SSB contest with nearly 15,000 contacts reported on the Sunday and a similar number on the Saturday.
Almost impossible to pick out the best but 7P8RU (Lesotho), HD8R (Galapagos Islands) and D4F (Cape Verde) were all fighting for top place.
This the D4F antenna farm.
What chance has anyone else got against that lot?
Steve, M0BPQ , who is not far from me, sent this in.
“Tuesday, Data Modes, I worked: VK6AN (and several more VKs), BG3ISR, YB7OO, JF3MXG/6, C5C, V51LZ, VR2XRW, 9W6XEZ, XX9ET, AP2HA, 9M2TO, DV1VHK, PJ7P. Spread over Tuesday and Wednesday. Saw another G work FK, but there was nothing with me.” Thanks Steve.

Sun: 3 sunspots. Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible on Nov. 4th when a CME is expected to sideswipe Earth's magnetic field. The CME was hurled into space on Nov. 1st by an M1-class solar flare from departing sunspot AR2887. We're not certain yet, but another CME may be following close behind it.
Footy. Stoke had a lead of 3 – 0 against Cardiff but threw it away in 6 minutes to finally draw 3 – 3. Only Stoke could do that. My trains to and from were all upset. So not a good weekend. We had visitors on Sunday so I did no radio for two days, probably the two best days for years! And a contest!
Blackpool mid week and Luton next weekend both away.
Now I’m not a T20 cricket fan but England are doing rather well and in sterling fashion. So i may have to watch tha
