No doubt about it E51D (Cook Is) was top dog again. A44A (Royal Oman), KP4PR (Puerto Rico) and ZV201ID (Brazil independence) prevented a 100% clean sweep.
The A44A shack looks too posh for most of us. I bet they’ve got some kit!

Sun: 6 or maybe 7 sunspots today. Sunspot AR3421 has a mixed polarity magnetic field which, if it continues to develop, could soon pose a threat for strong Earth-directed flares. Credit: SDO/HMI
Footy: Stoke go into the international break having lost at home to Preston who incidentally jump to top place in the Championship. Stoke are in their usual place at 16th.
Now all the hoohar about Harry Kane going to Germany is over the next thing is, will he come back to play for England.
Other News: England cricketers lose to New Zealand in the sort of practice run up to the world cup (T20 not real cricket). The rugby world cup is almost up us. Could be a miserable couple of months sport wise.
