The early part of the week was really good with activity tailing off at the weekend. Plenty of GB19 stations about. I operated GB19LL for a spell with over 100 contacts using FT8 mainly on Ten Metres. Shame the opening batters for England V Australia couldn’t get 100 each!
There are quite a few commemorative stations on beside CWC. Have a look through the list, see if you can spot them. Don’t count the GB19s tho’.
Or this one.
Most popular DX (four or more contacts, any mode)

Sun: Just one tiny spot. According to some reports we are about to enter a real sunspot trough something approaching a Maunder minimum if not worse. Click here to check out Maunder. The report also says that besides the Maunder type minimum, the sun could produce an increase in the Earth's mean temp by a couple of degrees. Global warming by the sun who'd have thought that.
Stoke City’s first match of the new season is against QPR at Stoke. I have my train ticket booked already.
Shame about England’s 50 over CWC defeat to Australia, at Lord’s as well. There you go. We will bounce back, probably.
