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)
