KZN CTG 9 to 22-May

The last fortnight saw 27 CTG cards submitted. This equates to a rate of 1.9/day, a rate last achieved in January when we had 2.0/day over a period of four weeks.
Most movement was in the south, around Harding and Kokstad, with the rest on the strip in from the North Coast.

Degree square 3029 had 11 cards submitted, 10 of which were the second cards for their pentads. The second biggest degree square contribution was for 2831, where seven cards were submitted. 3030 came in third with 4 cards, again with 3 being second cards.
2830 remains our biggest challenge with 319 cards needed, and three empty pentads. Second neediest are 2731 and 2732, both needing 183 each, but 2732 has seven empty pentads.
On the upside 2832 only needs six cards to be completely "green" while 2931 needs 16 cards.

In this period we again have some fresh faces, with Johan deVilliers, Kelly Gate and Ronald Searle each contributing a card, while Ewert Hauptfleisch, who has been featuring quite regularly, also contributing a card.
Honours this fortnight certainly go to Tim Wood and his team, who contributed 16 cards. All but one of these were for Southern KZN, which has in dire need of deeper coverage.
John and Kim Cox managed a really good seven cards, continuing their methodical coverage of the area within reach of Richard's Bay.

On the general SABAP2-KZN front, we had 85 cards submitted for this fortnight. This equates to 6.1 cards/day, while slightly down on our average of 7.9/day, it is still better than we usually get at this time of year. What is really great about these 85 cards though, is that 32% of them were well targeted at "CTG" pentads.
The number of records has finally dipped to 45.6 records/card, down from the 52.5 that we had maintained since the middle of March. So winter is finally biting.
