Mark:

I ran the stats based on US zones. Yes, not all W7s live in 7 land, but I think as many 6s live in 4 land as 4s live in 6 land.

No said the stats I posted were 100% accurate, but they are statistically accurate if not perfect.

hey, this is a hobby.......

How did they figure the US zones - by call sign which isn't too accurate now. My friend a W4 worked BS7H but he lives in 9 land - did his contact count as a 4 land contact - I am sure that it did. I wonder how many Zone 5 and Zone 4 calls are resident in Zone 3?

A friend of mine who runs a big contest station thought that he would be in and out but spent 16 hours before he worked BS7H and he has stacked mono banders for 20m.

There was no JA wall as far as I was concerned just very limited propagation times and too many stations trying to call in the very limited open band times.

This throws a lot of whining into sharp perspective.

They didn't work the U.S. enough?  We're second only to JA.

Totally impenetrable JA wall?  JA was only 900 hams ahead of the U.S.
total.  Granted they had 3x the QSO's but who around here had a real
shot on, say, 40m.

BS7H impossible from the east coast?  Zone 3 only had 600 more QSO's
than zone 4 and zone 5, which were equal.

21kqso to Asia, 16kqso to EU, 7kqso to NA... sounds like they did a
good job working the propagation...

Lots of selfish hams stealing away the chance for people to get a QSO
from BS7H by working them over and over again?  I don't think so.

2.5 times  as many people got only one QSO as who managed to get two.
2 times as many people managed to get 2 QSO's as got 3.  This includes
*all* regions.

Whoever got 24... wow.

73,
Dan
