Yet another good week on Ten Metres. The most consistently sought after DX was probably TX5N (Raivavae, Austral Islands), followed by VK9DX (Norfolk Is), VP8VPC (Falkland Is) and YB0AZ (Indonesia). There were so many others it is difficult to pick out just a few. There were several WARD (World Amateur Radio Day) stations.
This is the non-DXCC callsign and QSL for VK9DX.

Sun: There are at least 6 sunspots even clumps at the moment on the visible surface
Sunspot AR2993 erupted twice in quick succession on April 25th, producing an overlapping pair of M1-class solar flares: movie. The double-blast caused a minor albeit long-lasting radio blackout over southeast Asia and Australia, affecting frequencies below 20 MHz. New images from SOHO confirm that there is no CME heading for Earth as a result of these flares. (spaceweather.com)
Footy: Stoke City beat QPR 1 – 0. This is one of my personal contests as QPR is my son‑in‑law’s team. I would normally have gone to Stoke to watch them but it wasn’t possible this time. We have leapt up to 12 th place just better tha half way. Next match away at Middlesbro’. They are just above us in the table so “6 pointer” match.
Liverpool beat Everton to keep up with Manchester City in the title chace
Cricket: Middlesex beat Glamorgan by an innings and 82 runs. That’s better than they achieved most of last season
