I thinkthis was a good decision and enabled me to go home to sleep at night. I didsome casual DXing on other bands after 15m had closed so if you worked me onother bands, you'll be in my checklog for those bands.Both mornings 15m opened to EU but it was very difficult to work stationsbecause they mostly came from odd skew paths between 40 and 90 degrees and Ihad to be swinging antennas all the time to find the best signal strength (thebest direction also varied all the time). Only direct path EUs were mostsouthern stations on Sunday (EA/CT) and OH/SM/UA1 area over the pole around20-21Z but everything else was skewed. Signals weren't too strong either andgetting through zone 4 and 5 wall was difficult. But I'm still happy to my EUresults.Of course, bunch of JAs was worked on Friday and Saturday. Sunday was very,very slow. It seems that I ran out of the stations to work.Missed zones 17-18, 20-23, 34, 37 and 39-40.Some stats below:Rates:Hour 160 80 40 20 15 10 Total CummOffD1-0000Z --+-- --+-- --+-- --+-- 97/22 --+-- 97/22 97/22D1-0100Z - - - - 29/6 - 29/6 126/28D1-0200Z - - - - 3/1 - 3/1 129/2944D1-0300Z - - - - - - 0/0 129/2960D1-0400Z - - - - - - 0/0 129/2960D1-0500Z - - - - - - 0/0 129/2960D1-0600Z - - - - - - 0/0 129/2960D1-0700Z - - - - - - 0/0 129/2960D1-0800Z --+-- --+-- --+-- --+-- --+-- --+-- 0/0 129/2960D1-0900Z - - - - - - 0/0 129/2960D1-1000Z - - - - - - 0/0 129/2960D1-1100Z - - - - - - 0/0 129/2960D1-1200Z - - - - - - 0/0 129/2960D1-1300Z - - - - - - 0/0 129/2960D1-1400Z - - - - 7/10 - 7/10 136/3942D1-1500Z - - - - 17/18 - 17/18 153/57D1-1600Z --+-- --+-- --+-- --+-- 29/16 --+-- 29/16 182/73D1-1700Z - - - - 31/10 - 31/10 213/83D1-1800Z - - - - 29/3 - 29/3 242/86D1-1900Z - - - - 31/4 - 31/4 273/90D1-2000Z - - - - 26/6 - 26/6 299/96D1-2100Z - - - - 26/1 - 26/1 325/97D1-2200Z - - - - 36/1 - 36/1 361/98D1-2300Z - - - - 58/3 - 58/3 419/101D2-0000Z --+-- --+-- --+-- --+-- 56/5 --+-- 56/5 475/106D2-0100Z - - - - 14/0 - 14/0 489/106D2-0200Z - - - - 1/0 - 1/0 490/10658D2-0300Z - - - - - - 0/0 490/10660D2-0400Z - - - - - - 0/0 490/10660D2-0500Z - - - - - - 0/0 490/10660D2-0600Z - - - - - - 0/0 490/10660D2-0700Z - - - - - - 0/0 490/10660D2-0800Z --+-- --+-- --+-- --+-- --+-- --+-- 0/0 490/10660D2-0900Z - - - - - - 0/0 490/10660D2-1000Z - - - - - - 0/0 490/10660D2-1100Z - - - - - - 0/0 490/10660D2-1200Z - - - - - - 0/0 490/10660D2-1300Z - - - - - - 0/0 490/10660D2-1400Z - - - - 3/0 - 3/0 493/10637D2-1500Z - - - - 17/7 - 17/7 510/113D2-1600Z --+-- --+-- --+-- --+-- 20/2 --+-- 20/2 530/115D2-1700Z - - - - 23/1 - 23/1 553/116D2-1800Z - - - - 24/0 - 24/0 577/116D2-1900Z - - - - 4/0 - 4/0 581/11631D2-2000Z - - - - 11/0 - 11/0 592/11637D2-2100Z - - - - 8/4 - 8/4 600/1207D2-2200Z - - - - 11/2 - 11/2 611/122D2-2300Z - - - - 32/0 - 32/0 643/122Total: 0/0 0/0 0/0 0/0 643/122 0/0160 80 40 20 15 10 Total %AS 0 0 0 0 283 0 283 44.0OC 0 0 0 0 45 0 45 7.0NA 0 0 0 0 188 0 188 29.2SA 0 0 0 0 66 0 66 10.3AF 0 0 0 0 17 0 17 2.6EU 0 0 0 0 44 0 44 6.8160 80 40 20 15 10 TotalCountries and # of stations worked:3D2 1 14U1U 1 15W 1 16W 2 28P 2 29A 2 29M2 2 29M6 1 19Y 1 1BV 2 2BY 8 8C6 2 2CE 3 3CM 2 2CT 1 1CT3 2 2CU 1 1CX 2 2DL 1 1DU 2 2EA 9 9EA6 1 1EA8 4 4EA9 1 1F 7 7FJ 1 1FK 1 1FM 1 1FY 1 1G 1 1HB 1 1HC 1 1HC8 1 1HI 2 2HK 1 1HK0/a 1 1HL 4 4HP 2 2HS 3 3I 4 4IG9 1 1J7 2 2JA 260 260K 97 97KH0 1 1KH2 2 2KH6 10 10KL 6 6KP2 2 2KP4 3 3LU 22 22OA 1 1OE 1 1OH 5 5OH0 1 1OK 1 1OM 1 1P4 5 5PJ2 2 2PY 21 21PZ 1 1S5 3 3S9 1 1SM 2 2T8 1 1TI 2 2TK 1 1TU 1 1TZ 1 1UA 1 1UA9 3 3V2 1 1V3 1 1V4 1 1V5 2 2V7 1 1VE 43 43VK 12 12VP2M 1 1VP2V 1 1VP5 1 1VP8/h 1 1VR 1 1XE 10 10YB 6 6YN 1 1YV 2 2ZF 2 2ZK1/s 1 1ZL 5 5ZP 1 1ZS 2 2
