[CQ-Contest] WPX- EU qso party?

[Chad Kurszewski]

True enough Robert, but you might be missing the point.

You could roughly say that (rounding up) 50% of your QSOs were
US and 50% were EU.  Of those 50% EU, how many were 0 pointers (in
your own country)?  Probably not many.

Let's look at my 1997 20M effort in WPX:
                   160    80    40    20 
                   ---    --    --    -- 
  USA calls   =      0     0     0   662 
  VE calls    =      0     0     0    92 
  N.A. calls  =      0     0     0    61 
  S.A. calls  =      0     0     0   120 
  Euro calls  =      0     0     0   612 
  Afrc calls  =      0     0     0    38 
  Asia calls  =      0     0     0    13 
  JA calls    =      0     0     0    57 
  Ocen calls  =      0     0     0    35 

  Total calls =      0     0     0  1690

One could round up and say that 50% of my QSO's were USA, and 50% were
EU.  But guess what?  50% of my log represented ZERO points!

So I spent about half of my time talking to zero pointers, while you were
getting credit for the majority of your QSOs.  How about you telling
me exactly how many 0 point QSO's were in your log (excluding dupes)?
I bet not 662 out of 1690!
