Tony's 10m Band Report
A good week but an even better weekend especially Sunday. I worked ZF1EJ (Cayman Is), 5K0C (San Andres Is), 4M5MAG (Venezuela), VU2UUU (India), XV9NPS (Vietnam) and other DX all on Ten Metres. 9M2TOwas also good for me on 10m. Great QSL card.
For everyone else, these guys were popular. J20EE (Djibouti), V26K (Antigua and Barbuda), 3X1A (Guinea) and quite a few others including 4W/JH2EUV on Timor Leste which is somewhere between Indonesia and Australia. I tried but could not get him.
Most popular DX (three or more contacts, any mode)
