Tony's 10 Metre Band Report
6 March, 2009

A short report this week as I’ve been to the Canary Islands for a bit of solar therapy.

Those of you who are eagle-eyed will notice that this photo of the Nasa tracking station is better than previous versions (unless the editor reduces it).

No real winner this week with conditions poor up to the weekend when they improved but not enormously.
