Well that was way too long a contest for me to participate in for the duration but I got 42 states with my 100 watts and inverted L (18 65' radials). I now have 46 states on Topband altogether and am missing ND, AK, MT and ID. Something tells me that those 4 states are going to be tougher than the first 46 combined ;-) John Harper AE5X/2 http://www.ae5x.com
