How many kwhs in reality do small wind turbines produce?

Lets compare the outputs of our turbines!
It would be very useful if the owners of domestic wind turbines could put their yearly output in KWHs, with their Noabl wind speed and a roughness class, ie the type of environment their turbine is placed in.
So my turbine is a 6kw Proven on a 15m mast. My wind speed is 5.7ms and I am in a roughness class of rural urban fringe 1.5 to 2 See the following link for more details on roughness http://www.windpower.org/en/tour/wres/shear.htm
My output would be estimated between 10,000 to 14,000 KWHs. I will be very happy if I make 8,000.
What are other owners figures like?
