A bumper week for 10m. Even the Brits get in on the action to a limited extent with Lars, MJ0LON, from Jersey being top dog on Tuesday (don’t sound exactly like a totally Brit name tho’).
The rest of the pack included, in no particular order, 6Y1V (Jamaica), TF8GX (Iceland), C31PP (Andorra), HP3AK (Panama), T77C (San Marino), quite a few HB2008s and OE2008s, TA/TK (Turkey), ZC4TS (Cyprus), 8S6KOS (Swedish special IOTA), 7X4AN (Algeria), quite a few Russians and lots of mid Europeans. Some UKs (English, Scots and Welsh etc).
 For me the pick of the bunch is Iceland. I’ve never worked TF8GX but his QSL card is kinda cute.
Most popular DX

Well done Rudy but why did you miss out Friday?
Brian, G8VPR, sent in his Tuesday haul. OY9R 5/9 , LA0EN 5/9, DJ3HJ 5/8, S51GL 5/7, HB20008T 5/9, SQ9JYK 5/7, LA9VK 5/9. You can tell he enjoyed the last week he says, “GREATTTTTTTTTTT WEEKEND”. I’ll give you that one Brian, so where’s your week-end worked list?
Big Dave, aka, VK5MRD has an apology and a question.
“Sorry, not much to report about for 10m of late. I did work a very good local opening to VK3 and VK7 the other night. I could also just hear VK4CQ in the distance. No significant DX for me recently :o(
I am getting into SSTV esp on 10m 28.680MHz. I wonder if there are any other operators interested in this mode esp on 10m?”
Well anyone else out there on SSTV on Ten Metres? Just let us know and I try to publicise it. Dave also has another question. He says, ” I seem to have lost contact with a station I used to talk to some time back via IRLP and Echolink. His call is M0SKA around the Blackburn area in the UK. I don`t suppose you might know this operator or could find out if he is still around?”
He has tried email and all the usual stuff. If anyone knows anything why he’s not seemingly now active let me know and I’ll pass it on.
Contests. There is the Open Season Ten Meter PSK Contest 2008 PSK sponsored by Ten -Ten International Net, Inc Saturday 00:00 to Sunday 24:00. Also from the Borneo ARC is the SEANET contest Saturday 12:00 to Sunday 12:00. This weekend is the CW IARU Field Day. There are other mini sprints etc but not much phone stuff.
Sun: Blank Sun again. Veteran sky watcher David Moore of Dublin, Ireland, has sighted the ISS with the naked eye in broad daylight. "I saw it on June 2nd around 9:21 pm local time while the sun was still 2.1º above the horizon."
Impossible? Consider the following: Venus is visible in daylight, and the growing ISS (with Discovery docked alongside) is now brighter than Venus.
"It was remarkably easy to see," he says, "even though I was not wearing my spectacles." Of course, the space station is still easier to see in the dark. Check the simple Satellite Tracker to find out when to look Simple Sat Tracker (Space Weather).
I have to say the UK version didn’t find ISS for me.
