Nermin,

Lets wait for the final result from K1N.

We do have EP6T data:

68,045 QSO
69.6% Europe
9.8% North America
17.6% Asia.

I am willing to bet you a bottle of riesling, (Yellow Tail, my favored 
fermented grape)
that K1N will do better with European stations than EP6T did with North 
American
stations.

Are you on?
