I love ten meters too...it's a great band.  I wouldn't miss the 10 meter 
contest for anything.

However, you guys out west love ten a little more than we do back east. 
Sweepstakes is a matter of working the large areas of population.  For you 
guys it means getting on ten to work the midwest and the northeast.  When the 
band is open east west like that it is harder for us to get a really good 
opening to those areas here in the southeast.  Fifteen provided that opening 
for us this year at the beginning of the contest and twenty is THE place to 
be if you are in the southeast.  Why screw with ten and be connon-fodder for 
the W6 and W7 stations?..:-)  I made 15 QSOs on 10 this year and had my best 
relative finish ever in SS.  For SS in the southeast, there's no meters like 
20 meters.
