I forgot to mention that contesters have slightly different needs vis 
a viz filtering than do DXers, and that there are likely to be 
different opinions on this, but generally you will not be happy with 
a 250, is my prediction.

I swore I would never use any of those goofy internet phrases, but
in this case, your mileage will definitely vary.
