VP6A was top dog again up to the last weekend when Spanish speaking stations in the SSB contest took over. Conditions were not great though.
This sort of refreshment may help to get past the dull bits and lubricate the tubes. (Non thermionic type)
Most spotted were VP6A (Ducie Is), TG9AGM (Guatemala), LU8DPM (Agentina) and IZ8EPX (Italy).Most popular DX (Top 20 or more contacts, any mode each day)

Sun: A dozen or maybe more sunspots with sunspot AR3354 having grown very rapidly in the past 24 hours. It merits watching as a possible source of Earth-directed flares.
Footy: There’s not much going on except for transfer speculation. Nothing so for about Stoke City. I haven’t renewed my season ticket. I’ll pick the odd match that I can get to.
Other News: The 2nd Ashes Test match starts at Lord’s on Wednesday. The weather forecast looks OK(ish)
