July 10, 0200z Here is the breakdown on the TO5E qso's on six meters with the dupes included. Without dupes we have 1759 qso's in 54 countries and all continents except Oceania. Don't be decieved by the results. We spent as much time beaming EU as NA and actually more as we beamed only EU while it was still dark in the morning. It made no sense to beam NA then as it would of been 5 am in the morning on the east coast and earlier in the other time zones. The significantly greater distance to Europe from St. Bart I think is the significant factor with more QSO's into NA:
