     Comments:
     Starting out on 20 and noticing the loud signals from nearby states,
     I thought this might be a good contest for an Indiana station.  In
domestic
     contests I always struggle on that band.  I had
     a 118 first hour with 12 second radio q's.  At 1908z I first moved
     VP2VW to 15 successfully.  This was the first of 20 stations moving
     1 or more bands for 37 new mults.

     Thanks to these stations for band moving with number of band moves in
     ().  VP2VW (1), WA1QVM (1), VE2AWR (1), AB5SE (1), K7SV (1), K0WA (3),
     W0ETC (3), KY7E (1), N6TDM (2), KT0R (1), WP4LNY (1), N9THC (3), WB4OSS
     (2), K7KX (1), WA7ITZ (1), K9RMS (2) IN!!, VE9WH (3), VE4VV (2), K5YAA
     (1), W7CAV (3). KT0R (1), VE4VV (1).

        Although with all moving I still missed MA on 40, NH on 80, AZ on 80,
        ID on 15, MT on 15, NV on 80, OR on 80, UT on 15, WA on 80, WV on 20,
        80, 160 and WI on 160.

        Heard TX on 10 most of the day with K5TM until 0500z.

      Conditions were good DX wise working 22 Europeans and a VK.
