What a week! Monday and Tuesday apart conditions were quite good. Wednesday was super good for the Spanish special event stations. Even I worked a few. LU9DCE was prominent. It’s not easy to say which one of the AM70 stations was top, they were all very popular. There are also some AN and a few others AM77, AM570. So watch out for them, there are awards to be had.
FT4 is released and up and going at G4CJC, just a few contacts. LoTW will not yet accept uploads nor eQSL but QRZ log is OK. We will have to wait for the ADIF committee to recognise it. No doubt it will soon.
Contest only?? I don’t think so!! Expect more complaints from BOFs, frequency police and General Knowitalls.
Most popular DX (2 or more contacts, any mode)

Sun: No sunspots. Some solar wind on its way.
Stoke drew 0 – 0 at Millwall, I was there. Yet another draw and again 0 – 0. We had chances.
Sheffield United next Sunday last match of the season. I can’t easily get there Euston station is closed and trains are cancelled. We are mid-table mediocrity.
