9Q1AA and 9Q1ZZ were runaway winners this week. They were the Italian DXpedition team to DR Congo. Top spotter goes, again to LU9DCE. Top spotter seems to swap between Argentina and Indonesia. Plenty of other DX about. KH8RRC (Samoa), 7Q7EMH (Malawi), 4W6RU (Timor Leste), ZL1WN (New Zealand) to name but a few.
My own favourite, though on 20m not 10m, was SA1LOR (Sweden). I did work him too.

Sun: Lots of sunspots all over the face of the sun.
Earth's magnetic field is about to experience a double blow from two closely-spaced CMEs. NOAA models suggest that the first CME will graze Earth's magnetic field on July 20th (1900 UT). The second CME will deliver a more direct hit on July 21st (1500 UT). Neither impact is expected to be strong, but the one-two punch could add up to a G2 or G3-class geomagnetic storm.
Footy: Stoke have a couple of new additions to the squad but no one of any major significance. We have a few more pre-season friendlies to play before the real season starts in August.
Other News: The 4th Ashes test starts Wednesday from Old Trafford. Why have they messed about with the start days. It always was Thursday then through to Monday. If anyone knows why let me know. But we made a good start with Oz held to just less than 300 for 8 on the first day
