A good week but an even better weekend especially Sunday. I worked ZF1EJ (Cayman Is), 5K0C (San Andres Is), 4M5MAG (Venezuela), VU2UUU (India), XV9NPS (Vietnam) and other DX all on Ten Metres. 9M2TOwas also good for me on 10m. Great QSL card.
For everyone else, these guys were popular. J20EE (Djibouti), V26K (Antigua and Barbuda), 3X1A (Guinea) and quite a few others including 4W/JH2EUV on Timor Leste which is somewhere between Indonesia and Australia. I tried but could not get him.
Most popular DX (three or more contacts, any mode)

Sun: 4 sunspots/clusters. Sunspot AR3105 emerging over the sun's eastern limb is growing rapidly. We've seen this sunspot before. It's AR3089 returning after a 2-week trip around the far side of the sun. Instead of decaying, the old sunspot seems to be growing again. If this continues, it could soon pose a threat for Earth-directed flares. (spaceweather.com)
Footy: Stoke City managed an away nil – nil draw against QPR which leaves us dangling in the middle of the table. There is an international break now. England play Italy away on Friday. We don’t have a win yet.
