Sorry to ask the probably obvious, but: 

I have been operating some in some of the DX contests from a hill listed on 
the Kansas Topo maps as Iron Mound.  Great time with 10 and 15M single 
yagis.  The 98 years old lady that owned it died last month and I get one 
more year of operation.  Poor timing as I'll retire at the end of that year 
and would have had a lot more time to play. 

Anyway, I've been playing around with ACEHF, etc. about which single band to 
try for the October CQ contest.  Best bets seem to be 20M or 40M for a one 
band effort to work as much DX as possible in the last go round.  Same for 
March's contests. 

Any thoughts on or off list?

Oh yes, I ordered one of the TenTech Orions to finish in style.
