Lee, M3MSU, worked DR775TMG, a special event station celebrating 775 years of the town Tittmoning. “No comment”, is about the best I can do for that.

Mike, KK2DOG, says
“The band really opened up from the States to Europe on June 19, 2009 at about 22:00z. Stations worked from my Northern New York QTH were: EA1ALA (Spain) 28.403, IK4GRO (Italy) 28.479, F5BZB (France) 28.440 andF1JKJ (France) 28.495. I was using an Icom 756PRO with about 600 watts into a 10-metre vertical antenna.” 600 watts, nice!

And VR2CB, Carl is back in contention,
“Great conditions on Saturday considering the low sunspots! Some good North-North path openings for a change. I personally had not worked Europe for 2+ years on 10m. During the AA Contest the DX spots showed that a number of USA stations were worked by Japan stations plus at least one VR2 (but not me, my morse speed is not up to contest level...). Multi hop Sporadic E prop I guess. I worked UA6AA 3/3, RA3CQ 5/6, E74EW 3/3, 4X4DZ 4/3, US5IQ 5/3 and JH0JDV/M 4/3.”.
Good to see your back Carl, How’s the job hunting going?

Contests:

Upcoming activity (though not guaranteed to be on 10m). Information from DXwatch.com and 425DXnews

Sun:
Sunspot group 1023 has an eye-catching shape--it is a straight line. The group's four spots have formed a rare "sunspot syzygy”.

On June 12th, just as Russia's Sarychev Peak volcano was erupting for the first time in 20 years, the International Space Station flew directly overhead.

Astronauts had their camera ready and snapped one of the most dramatic Earth-science photos ever taken from space.
