Back to the '3 or more' contacts to get into the list. I don’t know if the improvement in Ten Metres will last but let’s enjoy it while we can.
The Spanish AM70 stations were everywhere again, I worked a few myself even on 10m FT8.
Here’s a link for details URE. From here you can check which AM70s are on which band and see where you rate in the list.
But I’ve also been playing with FT4, fast and fun.
John, W2JPG is not having a great time. He worked PY4DY -0 and EL8AXS -23 and heard some Brazilian stations.
He said, “10 meters has been quiet, although a few South American stations popped up on screen but didn't last long. I made one contact via FT8 with EL8AXS in the Canary Islands today at 3:34 pm, a real surprise!”
I think your EL8AXS may be a typo for EA8AXS. Liberia would have been good!

So Stoke twice gave away a one goal lead in the last match of the season to gain(?) a draw and end up 16 th in the Championship table. Some big decisions to be made over the summer break!
And now to the cricket season. Soon for the Cricket World Cup. And Middlesex are in the semi‑final of the Royal London One Day Cup. I hope to be at Lord’s for that.
