A huge week, just like the old days, especially at the weekend. Apart from the war situation there was a definite feel good to the week radio wise.
Sought after were FO4BM, FO/SP5EAQ (French Polynesia), 7Q7M, (Malawi), LU8DPM (Argentina)
Look at this top-band vertical that LU8DPM has beaming to Europe. Is it rotatable I wonder?

Sun: Several sunspots. So far in 2022 we’ve had no days with zero spots.
As predicted, a CME hit Earth's magnetic field on March 13th. The impact sparked a moderately strong G2-class geomagnetic storm, which lasted more than 12 hours. "It was the best Northern Lights show for years," reports an observer. (spaceweather.com)
Footy: Stoke drew 2 – 2 against Peterborough the bottom team in the league last Saturday. Twice we were ahead. But no, we gave away a penalty in the 92 nd minute and then should have had a penalty ourselves. Unbelievable! Cardiff away on Wednesday night and Millwall at home next Saturday. I’ll be there (if the trains and tubes are running).
Cricket: England did a Stoke and “drew” with the Windies (West Indies). They did try hard and had them 4 for 67 at one point in the final innings but it ran out a draw in the end.
