I had quite a busy week on my IC-7600 but mainly not on Ten. I did manage to work South Korea and Qatar and Algeria on 40m FT8 and Greenland on 20m FT8. Yes, I did get onto Ten and worked the Canary Islands and the Azores but nothing special. Activity generally was not too bad. To get into the lists 5 or more contacts was needed.
Best DX on Ten, probably V51MA & V51MH (Namibia), VK9DX (Norfolk Is), JD1BMH (Ogasawara Is.), VK6IR and OC200U (Peru Special)
Most popular DX (5 or more contacts, any mode)

Sun:
Stoke played Preston on Monday, which was a public holiday here in the UK. I forgot it was an afternoon kick off and went to the gym instead. We lost 1 – 2. Yet another goal at the end of the game.
The Sydney Ashes test started on Tuesday. Unfortunately quite a lot of time was lost owing to rain. Australia are 126 for 3 wickets. It may well be that as rain is forecast over the next few days that it will prevent England being beaten again
