A rather poor week leading up to the IOTA contest. But Saturday was just incredible with Sunday just a bit behind. Even I made it into the list on Sunday! Needless to say the Editor, G4TUT, didn’t.
Callsigns I like, CU1T (cute eh?, Azores, Santa Maria Island), C4W (Cyprus), N0C (special event for Nebraska), all Saturday. BO0M (Matsu Island expedition) and G2B, (Bittern DX Group) Sunday.

This week’s most unfortunate amateur is Dave, he’s working weekends during the IOTA contest.
“It was a busy week work-wise for me this week with work commitments rolling off into the weekend so I don’t have much to offer. I was able to work Ross VK4CQ on Saturday 26th but unfortunately that was it for me on 10m. Maybe I will have better luck next week.73 Dave VK5MRD.”
Now that is tough, although maybe as in the previous big contest VKland was left out of the propagation. In fact if you look at the maps above there was little to VK or ZL or PY/LU.
The Phone/CW vote seems to have slowed up. Results next week.
Contests:
A far bit of activity this coming weekend.
Ten-Ten International QSO Party from 00:00 Saturday to 24:00 Sunday and exclusively 10m phone.
International Light House Week from 00:00 Saturday 2nd to 24:00 Saturday 9th.
The European HF Contest from 12:00 Saturday to 24:00 Saturday. The SARL HF contest Sunday 13:00 to 16:30. Finally there is the NRAU Ten Metre Activity Contest from 17:00 to 21:00 on Thursday.
Sun: Blank yet again and not much happening in the cosmos.
We did see a very long clear bright pass of ISS over London last Wednesday. It was almost vertically overhead and lasted for about 6 minutes, trees and houses excepted.
