*As usual, some reported basic country multipliers and some reported the 
multipliers as multiplier by band factors, so those that are high and 
those that are low can't be directly compared.  I think that N4PN, N4GG, 
and N4DU reported basic country multipliers.  If the band factors had 
been included, their multiplier total would be more than twice what they 
reported.
