Tony's 10 Meter Band Report
11 June 2007

The West Indies cricket team have stuck in there and hung on like grim death. Pity Monty dropped Chanderpaul early on in his innings but really our fast bowling was less than average. The West Indies deserve credit for dogged resistance, but we plugged away patiently and won by 60 runs in the end.

Monday through Thursday was not great on ten metres.
Friday was perkier and Saturday good.

As usual the activity maxed out on Saturday and Sunday with the DX coming from all over the place with HZ and HV0 being popular. NH6P strayed on to Ten Metres on Tuesday. This is the Big Island (Hawaii) Six Metre Club call. I wonder what got them on to 10m? Could it be that there is even less on 6m than on 10m?

Contests: Kids Day contest(??) 18:00 to 24:00 on Saturday 16th and the DIE (Diploma Islas Españolas = Spanish Islands Award) 06:00 to 12:00 on Sunday and not m uch else.

Sun: Spot 960 is not likely to produce much of an effect. The Sunspot Number has ranged from 63 last Wednesday to 19 on Sunday. This graph from Spaceweather.com shows the averaged sunspot numbers from way back.

In general high sunspot numbers mean good HF propagation. The 1960 peak must have been a beauty!
