A most excellent week with the weekend being exceptional. So many stations could be top dogs but TU5PCT (Ivory Coast), Z21A (Zimbabwe), ZF2OO (Cayman Islands) and VP8ADR (Falkland Is) really stand out. But there are many, many more.
My prize of the week was a ZL (New Zealand) but on 40m. Doh! Still very good at last.

Sun: As of now there are 5 sunspots with at least one capable of flares.
Stoke did well against Notts Forest, but only managed a 2 – 2 draw as the home team scored in extra time. Birmingham next Saturday, a local derby and usually very strongly fought. I’ll be there
