GB19 stations did well, I did another GB19LL slot. It was OK but I enjoyed the Spanish King’s competition more and the Spanish AM70URE also. There are
till plenty of special events going on.

I did manage to work OJ0Z (Market Reef) but on 20m. They were on 10m but not when I was on.

E44WE (Palestine) was very popular as was NU1AW (International Amateur Radio Union) plus loads of others

Joe, G3ZDF, said, “Managed to work stateside on 10m at midnight on 13 July on FT8. First time band been open that late for a long, long time”
You are dead right Joe. I monitor the band till late on but by midnight I’m watching Sci-Fi or Kung Fu on TV.

Not much contest stuff this weekend

Upcoming activity (though not guaranteed to be on 10m). Information from NG3K, DXwatch.com and 425DXnews

Sun: No spots for nine days on the trot.

England and New Zealand played a tremendous One Day International match. England won with a last gasp after the cricket equivalent of a penalty shoot out. Both sides were magnificent and all the players were mentally and physically exhausted.

Next the Ashes series against Australia, real cricket!

=Lewis Hamilton won the British Gran Prix.
