A reasonable week on Ten Metres. I haven’t worked anything really note worthy. Top dog DX wise was VP6A (Ducie Is), followed by CE0Y/CA3YMR (Easter Is).
Contest of the weekend is The King of Spain’s SSB contest.
I’ve participated in this previously just on 10m as I have an affinity with Spain.Most popular DX (Top 20 or more contacts, any mode each day)

Sun: 9 or maybe more sunspots. New sunspot AR3341 erupted on June 20th, producing an X1.1-class solar flare (1709 UT). Radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere. This caused a deep shortwave radio blackout over North America. Aviators and ham radio operators may have noticed loss of signal at frequencies below 30 MHz for as much as 20 minutes after the flare.
Footy: England easily beat N Macedonia 7 – 0. No contest really and Harry Kane showed how a penalty should be taken.
Other News: The first Ashes Test Match is now over (sic) and England lost by 2 wickets. It was a tremendously exciting game and a testament to “real” cricket.
