Topband: Topband Most-Wanted Suirvey

[Garry Shapiro]

This is a reminder to presumably the most-dedicated of topband 
DXers---those on this list--- that there is an active new Topband 
Most-Wanted Survey that needs the participation of all serious topband 
DX-chasers.

The survey is at _TopBand2011.hamdocs.com_. All 340 current DXCC 
counters are listed; all that is required is to check the ones you 
consider as "needed". Normally this means you have either not worked or 
not confirmed the counter on 160m.

So far, the heaviest response --unsurprisingly-- has been from North 
America, with Europe a distant second. We need more participation to 
ensure that the survey will accurately reflect the needs of all serious 
and not-so-serious topband DXers. Therefore, submissions from EU and JA, 
as well as SA and VK/ZL are specifically solicited.

Also, if you know of lists/sites in EU/JA/VK/ZL that are relevant, 
please send them along to me, or forward this email to them.

With the close of the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere, 
completing this survey just might have a positive effect on your DXCC 
totals for next season. If you have not yet submitted, please go to 
_TopBand2011.hamdocs.com_ at your earliest convenience. Right now would 
be optimal. And repeat announcements in the relevant newsletters and 
topband-specific sites would also be helpful.

End of drum-beating--for now. Results will be published in late summer.
