It’s certainly improving is Ten Metres. Sunday was especially good. TY1AA (Benin) and W1AW were tops again. V26K (Antigua and Barbuda), XQ6CFX (Chile) and BO0D (Taiwan) were amongst the more unusual calls on the band along with lots of others. Andy M0HLT is enjoying the new upsurge in conditions.

Well as most of us know, 10's been open every day/evening at least until 20:00UTC, and some new countries for me on 10m, 9K and 7Z....to name at least 2. I even heard the occasional station from the tropics, the WAE ssb contest certainly brought them "out" as well as fantastic on going (?) conditions at present...I suspect you may have many good reports / observations this week..PS...now a proud owner of a TS2000 DSP ( brand new) and in debt for 3 years Hi, Hi” Still, at least you can now enjoy being poor.

Today, Wednesday, the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) near Earth is tilting south, not much, but enough to open a crack in Earth's magnetosphere. Solar wind is pouring through the opening to fuel beautiful polar auroras. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance that a full-fledged geomagnetic storm could develop in the next 24 hours. (Spaceweather.com)   Stoke drew 2 – 2 away at QPR, I was there. We had so many chances to win it. Still its goals that win matches not chances or possession or pressure. Next is a night match against Newcastle on Monday. I will not be at that match, it’s on TV.
