Tony's 10 Metre Band Report
27 June, 2008

A good weekend with the Italians having lots of stations in the lists especially Sunday. There was an Italian contest on but there seemed to be almost no publicity. The two contest sites I subscribe to had no mention of it.

5X4X's QSL card

SX24ELI (special Greek)

AO5FL (special Zaragoza)

Also popular were 5X4X (Uganda), AO5FL (special Zaragoza) and A71CT (Qatar) who also had a nice QSL card but it was just a roundabout in Qatar.

Peter, G3FJS says for Friday “In last hour (16:00ish) - 2 S7 carriers, no ident.” But he also notes “Have you seen www.vhfdx.net/ ? Lots of good stuff especially 'DX Sherlock'. Might be of interest to your readers”.
My first thoughts were, ”No! That’s VHF and this is a Ten Metre column. BUT, reading further down as Peter says, the DX Sherlock is good. It now supports 10m and gives real time mappings of contacts. Interesting.

Contests: This weekend we have the His Majesty The King of Spain Contest (SSB), 12:00 Saturday to 12:00 Sunday and Saturday 1800 - Sunday 2100 the ARRL Field Day (all modes).

Sun: Blank again. Spaceweather.com has some spectacular pictures of auroras.
