Lots of activity this week with the exception of Friday which seemed fairly poor. I was not in the shack on Saturday I was at Stoke but the rest of the week was OK for me. Worked HC7 (Ecuador) and a few PYs. Again I spent some time on 40m FT4.
Best of the DX from the list, 3B9FR (Rodriguez Is), II9WRTC (Italy special), 9J2REK (Zambia), ON75WLD (Belgium special)
This was my best conquest of the week. A bacon sandwich bought at a stall outside the Stoke City FC ground. Loads of bacon!

Sun: A couple of sunspots are visible with a new one emerging. Not enough activity for auroras.
Last Saturday Stoke City lost 2 – 3 to Fulham. Both teams played well and the atmosphere in the stadium was electric. It was easy to see why Fulham are top of the table. Our second goal was a screamer from well outside the penalty area. Tuesday evening we played Coventry away and lost 1 – 0 without a single shot on target, disgraceful!
Friday evening we play Huddersfield away, it’s on Sky TV. We need more points, any points. We are drifting down the table.
