All articles received after that will be held over to the following week. Quite a good week. Most unusual station is DP0GVN which to give it full location is the Neumayer Station, Ekstroem Ice Shelf, Atka Bay, Antarctica. Needless to say there was a big pile up on him. I heard him and called but no luck even on PSK. I also heard VP2ETE and called, there was no pile up but he couldn’t hear me. And the same for 7P8OC and 7P8YY but there was soon a pile up there. I do need my new antenna. I worked LU4JHF, 4K6OF (Azerbaijan), RK9AK, EC8ADS, R9CU.  W1AW/area was popular again along with 7P8JR (Lesotho) and 9K2WA (Kuwait). I also got a QSL from NASA for participating in the JUNO fly past in October 2013. As you can see the post office managed to crease it. Fauzan, 9W2FOR worked VU2DSI 5/9, A71AE 5/9, IZ6CLZ 5/9, OM5DX 5/9 and CN8YZ. He heard 7Z1TT, YY1YLY and DK3EE. “Hi Tony, last week I worked with 3 new DXCC, I'm quickly going to learn how to listen for callsigns properly on weak signals. Tomorrow on Labour Day I plan to keep my time on DXing, I left my radio for more than a week.. Hihi.. QRL.. So good DX, hope to see u again. Bye”.  I’m listening for 9W2 but haven’t heard any in ages. Arie, 9W2VVH has chipped with a short report. “Salam sejahtera Tony. This week with short report for you. Apr 24. Wkd OM3TWM. Apr 28. Wkd IK2VUQ, EA8OB, EC5AMK & IK1YNZ and Apr 29. Wkd DK3EE & our local Borneo 9W6KON.” Thanks Arie, I’ve never worked Borneo.

Stoke City lost by a single goal to Spurs, but we hit them with everything and were down to 10 men when our captain Ryan Shawcross was unjustly given a second yellow card. A tough match which we should have won. Next Saturday, Fulham at the Brit. The last home match of the season. I’ll be there. I’ve bought my ticket for next season already.
