A good week in general with four contacts needed at the weekend to get into the lists. I did work Sri Lanka and the Falklands on Ten with Azerbaijan and Kenya on 20m. I chased 9N7CI (Nepal) for a while but no joy.
Most sought after were 9N7CI (Nepal), VU4W (Andaman and Nicobar Islands), 5Z4VJ (Kenya) and plenty of others.
Most popular DX (three or more contacts, any mode)

Sun: Today, there are 8 sunspot groups on the solar disk--the most in years. Get ready for two more. NASA's STEREO-A spacecraft is monitoring a pair of extreme ultraviolet hotspots behind the sun's eastern limb. It is probably the glow of two more sunspot groups. The active regions will rotate into view by mid-week.
Footy: The Premier League continues to its final weekend with a few things left undecided. Top will be Manchester City or Liverpool. Manchester City can only lose it themselves.
Cricket: Middlesex have won three and drawn two. March on the lads from Lord’s!
