Oh! Thanks :-)
But, please, don't worry about that. We have 10 times more contacts with DL
stations that with EA stations:

       QSOs
==========
DL  -- 1473 
W   -- 1366 
UA  --  823 
SP  --  495 
I   --  470
F   --  422
G   --  421
UT  --  378
OK  --  332
UA9 --  251
.
.
.
EA --   147

We will be very happy if we can get the call from the others 8000 DL stations that
called DA0HQ, hi.

Just three weeks ago, the spanish PPT free HF bands use to EC and EB (band restricted
callsigns) stations, but this not seem important to improve the EA amount active
in international contests.

I think that the IARU HF contest is a good test to see the health of the national
amateur radio society, and the ham radio strength in the country. I'm not worry about
how many DL call DA0HQ or how many LZ call his HQ but I'm concerned who we can get
5000 EA station in our log and, of course, in the other HQ stations.
