Well the CQ WW CW contest livened things up at the weekend. 10 reported contacts needed to get into the list on Saturday and Sunday. The most activity for a good while.
Frequently contacted was 3B8/M0CFW during the week who then changed to a shorter 3B8M (Mauritius) call.

Sun: A new sunspot has appeared to add to the current cluster.
A dark filament of magnetism erupted from the sun's southern hemisphere on Nov. 29th: movie. The debris appears to be heading south of our planet. NOAA forecasters are running computer simulations to confirm the miss.
And NASA have launched a rocket to “nudge” a meteor, to see if it can be done. You just never know when you’re going to have to push one that’s on an Earth collision course. So it’s a practice? The stuff of sci-fi.
Stoke played abysmally and lost 0 – 1 to Blackburn. The train from London Euston to Stoke was packed as they had cancelled the one before and the one after. Very Bad. We play QPR away next Sunday. I have a ticket even though it’s on Sky TV
