Topband: Out-of-Turn Callers

[Larry]

Someone did a more extensive analysis of several DXpeditions maybe 2 or 3 
years ago. Basically the same conclusion. Typically  NA puts up the largest 
percentage of the funds but doesn't get that percentage in Q's. I forget 
which group it was posted in.

It appears to be the case that NA finances the big trips and EU gets the
Q's. That needs to be ironed out.
