Tony's 10 Metre Band Report
07 May , 2008

This past week was worse than when I was away on holiday. Even Saturday and Sunday were mediocre. So all in all a thin week.

Still it was not all bad news, Stoke got promoted to the Premier League and there was much joy at the end of the last game.

The pitch was invaded. This was not what was wanted but was quite understandable, emotions were running high.

Stoke City fans celebrate their promotion

Lee, M0HOK, writes “Worked IZFXP (1 ONLY !) This was my first 10m contact for a few years! I also heard a station very briefly in Mozambique! But couldn't work him and didn't quite get his full callsign. I hope things pick up soon on there I'm looking forward to using the band. Sorry this 'report' is late but I thought it worthy of a mention anyway.”
