Ten Metre Report 30th Nov
Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2023 11:10 am
In the super CQWW CW weekend H44WA (Solomon Is), D4C (Cape Verde), XW4DX Laos) and K8R (Swains Is) were dominant. There was lots of other DX of course. I didn’t work any, CW is not my forte. I have slipped a little in my time at the radio, lots of other things to do.

Sun: Over a dozen sunspots today. Yesterday's canyon of fire eruption sent a CME toward Earth. Make that three CMEs? Follow-up eruptions of two more magnetic filaments may have also hurled CMEs in our direction. Their collective arrival on Nov. 30-Dec. 1 could cause G2-class geomagnetic storms.
Footy: Stoke lost abysmally at home to Blackburn 0 – 3.
Tuesday’s match against QPR at QPR ended 4 – 2. We had a man sent off and scored an own goal. Doh!! Abysmal defence again.
Other News: T20 matches start soon. It’s not real cricket, just slash and burn.
