Saturday and Sunday were lively but the rest of the week was fairly low on activity. I worked quite a few stations on 20m and 40m FT4. Interestingly I got called by a Monte-Carlo station and chased by and Indonesian one. Then Sunday 10m FT8 was open to North and South America and the West Indies islands, YV, KP4,HI, PJ2, K, 4C10M (XE), 4U1, etc
I like this QSL.
and I worked him! Shame there’s no FT4 on 10m.
And I worked this one too.

Stoke’s match against Coventry was postponed owing to Covid19 in the team. There should be a game against Barnsley next Sunday (Boxing Day) but the whole fixture structure looks in doubt. It was supposed to be on TV but I’ll just hope for the best.
The Ashes Test cricket against Australia has been abysmal for England. Such poor batting and at times rubbish catching. But to be fair Australia have played well, Smith back as captain
