Topband: Best Practices and the Number Game

[wb6rse1 at mac.com]

FT5XO did work the West Coast USA on 80m. At the '08 Top Band dinner  
in Visalia, K3NA played a tape of the great pains he went through to  
try to work one guy on 160 who simply could not copy the exchange.

Having online logs, like TX5SPA/SPM, vs "leaderboard" answers the  
really important questions.

For all of the criticism of any operation, the people who do go on  
these jaunts, usually do so at great personal expense and often risk.  
The least we can do is wish them well and a safe journey.

I agree with Tree. This thread has gone far afield from the low bands  
and is best continued on DX chat, where it's probably been beaten to  
death many times.
