[CQ-Contest] Its not the Sunspots folks

[Jeff Clarke]

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.
