Just a brief report on my fairly casual effort this weekend.
Decided to do a 15m single band high power assisted entry as had other
things on this weekend.

Only managed 3.5 hrs on Sat morning and 4.5 hrs early Sat evening as pub
lunch and the Bath vs. Leicester match got in the way!
11 hours on Sunday - the band closed earlier Sunday evening @ c.1815 than it
did last night @ c.2050.

Ended up with:

Summary
Q's: 		648
Dupes:	3
Zones:	30
DXC:		123
Raw score:	208,845.

Zones NOT worked were:
1,3,18,19,27,30,31,32,34,40

Continent split was:
EU 44%, NA 37%,SA 7%, AF 4%, AS 6% OC 1%
Quite surprised how many zones were workable on 15m with no sunspots but
very few JA's and VK's heard.

Kit: FT1000MP mkV with Inrad roofing filter plus 2KHz narrow SSB filters,
Quadra (400w!) and 3 ele SteppIR @45 ft.
