[600MRG] Trans-Atlantic (TA) reception: table of decodes

All,
    As the trans-Atlantic (TA) season progresses and decodes get more numerous, a table helps me summarize what was happening on a busy night like last night Oct. 12.  Please excuse it if the table at the end of this post gets corrupted on upload onto the reflector.
    Capital letters for call letters of transmitting stations are used to title the rows.  Lower-case call letters for receiving stations likewise title the columns.  The number of TA decodes of a TX station are entered at that row in the column for the receiving RX station.  If one wants to, the peak SNR for all the decodes of a given TX by a given RX on a night can also be entered that way too.
   If anyone has been decoded TA this season by a station they have decoded TA the same night, please let me/us know about it.  So far, for example, DK7FC and WG2XJM among others have had numerous decodes on the opposite side of the Atlantic from them.  I'm trying to find if they may have decoded any same stations as decoded them by now. 
     If no reciprocal decodes, then why? Yes, the receiving station may have lower transmit power on the TA return path, but the decode levels seem to indicate enough headroom notwithstanding.  Also, some stations may be receive only, so they won't be decoded reciprocally.
    Any other ideas why?
