Show me the money...

It's probably more fun, less QRM, and easier with low power to go 
with the higher bands, but what you want is your signal landing in 
the part of the country with the highest radio population density.

But when it does, it's time for 80m.  I recall one year where 80m was 
the big band for me in SS...I think it was the year I made the top 10 
from Ronnie's house.  

But stop at 80...I think K5ZD said "if I'm on 160 is SS, I'm losing".

That's the beauty of 2 rigs...CQ on the money bands and tune the high 
bands making sure you've got the VE8, KL7, etc.
