Tony's 10m Band Report
Not a bad week at all. Note that to get into this week’s list Five or more contacts were needed.
I worked lots of Europeans but special was GU0SUP my first Guernsey station. He uploaded to LoTW very quickly so I have confirmation.
Best of the rest: LZ50BFRA (Bulgaria), HZ1SK (Saudi Arabia), N1RR (USA), OT75VED (Belgium) and OY1CT (Faroe Is).
The weekend contest CQ WW WPX, was hugely popular. Here are the contact charts for the two days.
Saturday
Sunday
A new report from Pakistan, Hasnat, AP2HA, worked BI8DHZ -19 on data. Thanks for that, it’s a long time since I worked China.
This week Patrick,ON4ARJ was very active. Thursday on data, XQ1KN -22 dB, 5T5PA _-7 dB, EA8AT - 15 dB, EC8AXS -21 dB, EA8AOC - 20 dB, EA8EE - 23 dB, EA8WU - 10 dB, EA8ACW - 13 dB, EA8CZZ - 7 dB, EA8UU - 15 dB, EA8VJ - 2 dB, EA8DHA - 11 dB, EA8FB - 20 dB, CU3AC - 17 dB. He said, “This was the best DX, lots of EU stations as well.” EA1CTT - 05 dB, EA1FCR - 14 dB, EB4SM - 03 dB. Saturday in the WPX CW contest, OH9W 599, EA4M 599, OH6AC 599, ES5RR 599, ES7GM 599, OG55W 99, IQ8SN 599, SJ0X 599, IB9T 599, EA1G 599, EA1R 599, II9P 599, F5PHW 599, E77A 599. And Sunday YT5A 599, MM0T 599, MI5I 599.
Now that is a pretty good haul.
John, W2JPG, worked G4ERO -4DB, VO2NS -1DB, K3QH -2DB, EC7R --13DB. He heard: Many from S.A. They were all FT8. First time England on 10 meters! Band has been very active last few days!

Sport is about to return in a couple of weeks, sort of. Now the discussion is which will be first! Snooker, darts, maybe poker. Yes Sky did have poker on as a sport! Footy is still arguing about how to finish off, so many ifs and buts. Watch this space for more info.
