I have to say right from the start that most of my stats for last Saturday were lost because of a computer glitch whilst I was in the Midlands watching Stoke beat Cardiff. Which is unfortunate as that was half of the 10-10 contest. C’est la vie. And as it happens most of the rest of the week was pants! Sunday wasn’t bad, just sorry for you guys who will not now make the lists for Saturday.
Most popular DX.
Monday: VK3MBW, VK8NSB, VK5MRD, VK4IM, PU1CCC.
Tuesday: No stations with more than two contacts.
Wednesday: No stations with more than two contacts.
Thursday: I0KNQ
Friday: W4ETB
Saturday: No data
Sunday: N2EOC, PY2BN, PW2M, K4EU, WP4U, SQ9MEE, PY2TO, KK4SZ, WN4AMO, PY3SB, N5MT, LW4EU, KH7XS, ZS6RAD, ZP5AZL, W9JA, W4UH, W4NMH, W4LT, UR4UDI, N8UUP, KE4WBO, KC2QXE, KC0QIE, KA1UJQ, K5PEW, AJ4F.
Naturally enough there are quite a few Americans shown Sunday, I suppose because 10-10 is an mainly an American Club.
Big Dave VK5MRD has been very active considering he’s back at work now.
“Monday worked ZL2ADR 5/9 VK`s 1,2,3,4,6,7 and 8. Heard ZL4DH 5/5, KQ6PK 5/1, KH6WO Bcn 3/1 and all ZL Bcns too. Wednesday ZL2BJA 5/8, ZL2CQ 5/8, ZL2ALY 5/9+10, ZL4CZ (Mobile) 5/8, ZL1UPB 4/2.

Friday Dave says, “So far to date apart from some Sporadic E around VK the only international contact so far was to "Yo", JA1KNY in Tokyo 5/5. But the day is still young!” Sunday “Once again I have been working but I have managed to make a few contacts although most of them have been Sporadic E around VK I have a few international ones for you as well.

Two hours later he updated with, JL1MUT 5/5, JH7RTQ 5/5, JR3JFZ 5/7, JA3JOT 4/3 and heard 9M6RHM. I might have to give Dave his own slot in these pages. Dave’s in Adelaide, South Australia.
No prizes for guessing which one’s Dave.
Richard, 9W2CBL, in West Malaysia worked BU2AQ 5/9, BG7NWF 5/9, 9W26RHM 5/5, 9W2RZL 3/3,and heard: YB1UUN 5/9, JL1MUT 3/3, VK6ARA 3/3, 9W2FAI 3/3. Thanks for the info Richard it all helps build up a picture
Thanks likewise to Ian, VK1DI, who heard A3JOT 5/3 and JO3DDD 5/3. Ian’s in Page, a suburb of Canberra.
Contests: YLRL YL-OM Contest Sunday 14:00 to Monday 02:00, various QSO Parties on Sunday. During next week Monday 13:00 through to Friday 24:00 is School Club Round Up. I urge you all to try to contact school stations during this time. Amateur Radio needs all the good publicity it can get with the youth of today.
Sun: Blank again. Yesterday, newly discovered asteroid 2008 CT1 flew past Earth only 72,000 miles (0.3 lunar distances) away. Had it struck our planet, the 13-meter wide space rock (similar in size to a school bus) would have done little damage, probably exploding in the atmosphere.
On Thursday, Feb. 7th, the Moon will pass in front of the Sun, producing a solar eclipse over New Zealand, most of Antarctica and parts of Australia. It is not a total eclipse; the Moon will only partially cover the solar disk.
The total lunar eclipse of February 21 2008 will be visible over the Americas, Europe, Africa, and western Asia. More information on this eclipse may be found at Fred Espenak's site.
Update: Tony has since managed to retrieve Saturday and Sunday's data, which may been viewed by clicking here
