What a weird week and I think it’s going to become even weirder. Friday, Saturday and Sunday conditions weren’t too bad at all.
The rest of the week was dominated by 9J2LA (Zambia) with TO7DL (Reunion) a close second. TZ4AM (Mali) did pop up on Friday.
On Saturday L1D (Argentina) [it is real a call] and FR4QT (another Reunion) on Sunday.
I worked a stack of Europeans mainly Spanish stations.
Oh joy, I have a confirmation of contact with S01WS ages ago on 10m SSB.

Well, no footy to report on. I had a ticket for the Reading match but now the whole shooting match is suspended, initially until 3 rd April. I can’t see the season resuming till later in the year, if at all.
