A rubbish week with slight improvements over Saturday and Sunday (as happens frequently during the year). Some DX about though, J48O (Othonoi islet, Lighthouse Kastri), T32T (Kiribati) (way off Papua New Guinea) and ZD7XF (St Helena) to mention but a few.

I guess it must be holiday time as I’ve had no reports this week. I did work a couple of stations in Scotland but had to pull the plug as we had a thoroughly rough thunder storm. I disconnect all the mains cables, antennas and modems to protect the kit. After the storm had gone (for the 2nd time!) it took me ages to put it back together as none of the leads were labelled. They are now!

Timothy, KB8AFS, is having 4 th July happening. He says,
“I am hosting an improv event on July 4Th. It will be called the "Backyard fun event". Time: 08:00-15:00 EST. Freq: 28.440 USB, 147.450 FM, 335539 Ecolink node. QTH: 10431 Neptune Rockford, M.I. 2 1/2 Miles north of Rockford, M.I. in grid sq. EN73. Stop by if you are in the area.”
Well I will not be near there but I hope there will be some who will be able to join in.

Contests: Information from WA7BMN

Two 10m only contests this weekend, one fron 10-10 International and one from DARC (Germany)

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

Sun: Two new spots seem to be emerging but we’ll have to wait and see.

The weather is hot and sticky, the cricket (if you can call T20 cricket) is poor and Stoke haven’t bought anyone as yet.

• We now have a 10m (Ten Metre) chat pop-up available for any and all conversations about 10m or such like subjects. We would ask all users to sign-in with their Amateur Radio callsigns.
