Here's one analysis, I do hope the formatting comes thru so you can see 
how many Q's per zone. I do not know what you think of as western EU. To 
many if not most around here it includes Z14, 15, 16. I've deleted 
non-EU zones from Gary's post for brevity. With thanks to Gary. I 
include the email trail, without which this wouldn't make much sense. 
Looks like I understated the case, its actually 227 QSO. But even 
leaving out 15, 16 there were 75 Z14 Q's.

73 Art

I have been running some numbers for my local DX club the Magnolia DX
Association and since this issue has come up here on topband, I thought that
many in this group might also be interested in the numbers. These numbers
are derived from the ClubLog official on-line website for both DXpeditions.

The numbers reflect the total DXpedition QSOs by the end of the operations
of K4M
