I did better last year with about the same "BIC" time.  QSO's down 130 and mults down 3 this year.  

Two possibilities - I was off during a couple of prime times and I never got around to putting down my "lay on the lawn" radials this year!  Perhaps propagation to EU was a bit better last year too.

I did get one new 160 country this year with T70A in the log so that was a plus.

We have a new addition to our DX Cluster this year - skimmers!  This was useless as it seems 80 to 90 percent of skimmer spots were wrong.  I turned that feature off!  Perhaps those skimmers don't do well on 160 due to the noise.  There is no hardware or software made that can copy as well as a good pair of ears!
