Good deal Dave.  10 meters is wide open now.   Nothing rare so far, best 
one on 10 this morning is  Gambia.

BTW if using a contest logging program, most will  input the zone for 
the other station when you enter the call.    It may seem a bit 
haphazard, but there is some  sort of order as to the  location of the 
zones.    As you work stations and see what zone they give you, you will 
start to fit them into that map you have in your noggin.
