A very poor week with Tuesday to Thursday as low as it’s been for quite some time. Saturday and Sunday really bounced back with loads of contacts each day. I kept the minimum of 3 contacts for each day to show the contrast.
PJ4C (Bonaire) shone through the fog all week though HK0NA (Malpelo Island) was close in there and just pipped him to the top on Sunday. Lots of other DX about.
On Thursday Steve, M0BPQ worked HSØZEE, WB9EBX, KB9GSY, KC9OCI, K8GIM and WA2EHL. He says, “VP8 was on the band, but I looked hard and didn't find him! Pretty scratchy opening to the USA with lots of QSB and repeats. K3, 400W and 8 elements at 20m AGL.” Steve is that an 8 element monobander? I really must come round and get to see this antenna. Any photos of the kit or antenna?
PU2LHA, Joao, says, “Friday I worked KB2YEW, repeater from New York”. Now that’s not bad at all on FM.
Paul, VK2HV worked HK0NA, PJ4C, VK0TH, VP6T and TN2T on Monday with HK0NA 3 bands, on 17 SSB, 40 CW, and 30 CW on Tuesday.
KK2DOG, Mike worked VP6T 5/9, ZL2WL 5/8, WP4JSP 5/9, TI2/AA8VL 5/9, PY2LOW 5/8, CX2DDP 5/9, PY1MX 5/9, FG1GW 5/7 and VE5KS 5/9 on Tuesday. His comment was, “Nice opening to South America on Tuesday 24 th Jan.”

Sun: 5 clusters of sunspots with spots 1401 and 1402 posing a threat for M-class solar flares. Jan. 23rd around 0359 UT, big sunspot 1402 erupted, producing a long-duration M9-class solar flare. The explosion's M9-ranking puts it on the threshold of being an X-flare, the most powerful kind. This is a relatively substantial and fast-moving (2200 km/s) CME. Spacecraft in geosynchronous, polar and other orbits passing through Earth's ring current and auroral regions could be affected by the cloud's arrival. In addition, strong geomagnetic storms are possible, so high-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras. [spaceweather.com]
We (Stoke City) lost to West Brom for the first time in many years, 1 – 2. It could have been worse. No matter. Derby in the Cup this weekend, away. Then Man U mid week!!
