Here is the only breakdown I found close to Europe on 3830 from EF8U in North Africa

----------------- C o n t i n e n t S u m m a r y ----------------- 160 80 40 20 15 10 Total Pct --------------------------------------------------------------------- North America 27 214 1082 239 750 338 2650 35.6 South America 0 7 37 49 60 37 190 2.5 Europe 38 271 689 896 1437 1037 4368 58.6 Asia 0 4 21 34 45 13 117 1.6 Africa 6 13 12 29 23 10 93 1.2 Oceania 0 0 3 18 11 1 33 0.4 -------------------------------------------------------------- Total 71 509 1844 1265 2326 1436 7451

Almost 60% of his QSO's were with Europe. The Canary Islands are about 2100 miles from Germany.

This is about the same distance as Atlanta is from Seattle, WA - 2180 miles.

/Agreed. There were plenty of zero pointers to work, who sat and called cq endlessly. Why does the USA always get "punished"? There are lots more hams in EU now then ever. The scores show that it was a pretty good contest over there./
Mike,

Look at K5TR's breakdown from his 3830 post :

K 2 12 187 164 253 64 682 25.1

VE 9 24 62 135 142 10 382 14.0


JA 0 1 191 29 122 1 344 12.6


160 80 40 20 15 10 Total Pct --------------------------------------------------------------------- North America 22 64 303 351 457 106 1303 47.9 South America 7 22 40 68 117 104 358 13.2 Europe 1 14 103 124 158 5 405 14.9 Asia 0 1 203 35 125 1 365 13.4 Africa 4 10 19 11 30 9 83 3.0 Oceania 1 11 91 21 69 15 208 7.6 -------------------------------------------------------------- Total 35 122 759 610 956 240 2722

682 of his QSO's (25%) were worth ZERO points ! 14% were with VE. Only 12% with JA.

Almost 1/2 of his total QSO's were with North America.

I would sure like to see the breakdown like this from a station that operated in EU. I bet 75% or more of their QSO's were with other EU stations.
