Another strange week. Monday was big, Tuesday and Wednesday poor, Thursday and Friday very good but the weekend with a contest was colossal .
I was otherwise occupied so I haven’t worked too much DX.
But there was quite a bit about, e.g. VK6IR, VK2XZ (both Australia), PT4A (Brazil contest), PJ4G (Bonaire contest), 4U1UN (United Nations), VU2XO (India), ZM4T (New Zealand contest) etc.
I did work EH8CLP, the Carnival Station in Las Palmas.
Most popular DX (four or more contacts, any mode)

Sun: There are at least 7 sunspots. There is a very interesting picture here which shows a year’s worth of spots. They are in bands. Odd.
Footy: Stoke lost to Blackpool 0 – 1 on Saturday to a 89 th minute goal which I missed because I was so appalled by our display I nipped off early. Then Tuesday evening we just scraped a draw 1 - 1 at Barnsley (second bottom) with a goal in the 95 th minute. The 4 th official allowed 9 minutes extra. Saturday we play Peterborough the actual bottom team. We must do better! And I’ve paid for next year’s season card already!!
