Priority QDGC's in KZN


The map alongside shows the priority Quarter Degree Grid Cells (QDGC) in KZN.
The dark pink are those in which no pentads have been covered, the light pink with only one, and the cyn ones with two.
The SABAP2 target is to have at least three pentads covered by next year.

So if anyone is heading to any of these areas, please consider atlassing in one of these QDGC's.

Last Week's Submissions

This last week saw 22 observers submitting 41 cards, 6 of which were for new pentads. This is against 24 observers submitting 76 cards, 8 of which were for new pentads.

This week's champion atlasser is Tim Wood with 5 cards, followed by Barry Porter and Richard Johnstone each submitting 4 cards. Dave Everard and Iain Guthrie covered 2 new pentads each.

[I think that the rest of us also deserve a mention for taking the time to submit atlas cards and helping to keep the atlassing effort going in KZN].

Who Has Been Busy

Hopefully I will be back into a weekly update routine again now that the holidays are over.

This last week saw 24 observers submit 76 cards, 8 of which were for new pentads.
Duncan McKenzie led the charge with 14 cards, 5 of which were for new pentads. Sharon Louw, Alan Manson & Johan Gous submitted the other three cards for new pentads.
Good to see a mix of stalwart observers week after week as well as a number of visitors who submitted cards.

Who Has Been Atlassing in KZN

Since it has been 2½ weeks since I last managed an update, I will not compare this set of stats with the last, just what has been covered.
41 of us have submitted 122 cards, 15 of which were for pentads that had not been covered before. Michael Lee submitted the most cards, closely followed by Trish Strachan. Alan Manson covered the most new area, with four new pentads.
Good to see that so many people have been active, even though we are now well into the middle of winter.
