21 African countries...including 5X, 5Z, 6W, 9X, FH, SU.   However, there 
are less on Sunday...agreed.  21 out of around 80 available  is pretty low

Several  folks have remarked about how bad the Sunday afternoon dawg piles 
on Africa  were, especially on ten meters (C91KHN and 5H3EE were utterly  
buried).

Surely there must be some connection to the fact that there  are so few 
African stations on these days. How many of the following did you  put in your 
log?

3B8, 3B9, 3C, 3X, 5A, 5N, 5R, 5T, 5U, 5V, 5X, 5Z, 6W,  7P, 7Q, 7X, 9G, 9J, 
9L, 9Q, 9U, 9X, A2, C5, EL, FH, FR, S7, S9, ST, SU, TJ,  TL, TN, TR, TT, TU, 
TY, TZ, VQ9, XT, and Z2. . .not to mention some of the  rarer islands.

Where have all the Africans gone?

IARU--there are  a lot of countries there that seem not to have any 
activity. More pile-ups to  distribute the stations more widely surely would 
ease 
the pressure on  all.

And it would contribute to fewer flying objects on Sunday  afternoon in the 
shacks of folks who are getting trampled.  ;o)
