Not the busiest of weeks with three being the usual number of contacts to get into the lists.
Spanish AO1s (Galicia) really dominated every day.
I managed a bronze certificate even though I managed a contact with the very rare AO2022XAC. But I did get a certificate for the Jewish Maccabiah Games.
Last week, Ignacio, TI3IES sent me a report which just missed my deadline. Here it is now.
“Well, I haven't had much time to go through my radios, this Tuesday with 10 watts and a wire I was able to give my QSL to PY5QW in Curitiba, Brazil, the propagation was a bit clumsy but acceptable to be heard.”
Let me just ask contributors to please get reports to me by 12:00 UTC on Wednesday (or earlier) for inclusion that week.

Sun: Half a dozen sunspots. But Eclipse season for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has begun. Every day for the next three weeks, around 0730 UT, Earth will pass between SDO and the sun, producing great images. This is a twice-a-year event for SDO caused by the alignment of the sun and Earth as seen from the spacecraft's geosynchronous orbit. (Spaceweather.com)
Cricket: The final and deciding ODI (One Day International) against South Africa was washed out by rain with SA looking in a commanding position. Unbelievable! We here in the south haven’t had rain in weeks. The ground is hard and parched and the grass is like straw
