Regarding #3, does that mean I'm breaking the rules if I don't use my 
250 Hz filter?  If I use my 500 Hz filter, I may be copying more than 
one signal...

Bill, don't forget all the other categories you'll need to create for 
the "I gotta win my category" whiners:
SO/all wire antennas
SO/wires and tribander
SO/monobanders
SO/more than one tower
SO/XYL brings food to op

I'm sure I missed a few.
73,
Barry
