I’m not getting any radio time at the moment even though conditions are quite good.
Probably the best DX has been VP2V/N2IEN (British Virgin Is), XT2MAX (Burkina Faso) and EH4WRD (Spain, World Radio Day).
There were a lot more DX stations of course. Check out the list below to see if you are there.
Most hard working spotter was once again LU9DCE, Eduardo in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Sun: Just five sunspots but more are coming. They are crackling and lively and may give us more flares.
Footy: last Saturday Stoke lost at home to Bristol 0 – 1, a very streaky goal in the 84 th minute. Our similar streaky chances bounced off the bar. That’s footy for you, at Stoke any way.
Then on Monday Stoke beat Blackburn away from home by a single goal scored in the 4 th minute. Just crazy. The only consistent thing about Stoke is that they are inconsistent!!
Liverpool and Chelsea are through to the final of the FA cup in mid May. Lots more action for the top teams in the Prem but not so much for the rest of us.
