All,

This has been a very interesting thread.  It sounds like "running the bands" is a real mixed blessing.  Yes you get some more Q's on the higher bands and no, you walk away from a number of Q's as well.

Interesting stuff,

Johnny

I don't think I have EVER had someone running the bands hear me.
