TopBand: lack of EU

[Dan Robbins]

W7II's lament about the lack of Europe on 160 this season is not
surprising.  I did a quick count of European QSOs on 160 from my station
over the last few years.  I also included the lone African contact with
ZS4TX in '96-'97 as he is also over the pole.


Season 	     EU QSOS

'92-'93		0
'93-'94		5
'94-'95        26
'95-'96	       45
'96-'97       160
'97-'98	       14
'98-'99		0

Seems to be a definite correlation between the European openings and the
sunspot cycle.  Have to put on a big push for EU in '07.
