Topband: K1N 5000q's on 160

[Garry Shapiro]

Milt,

One factor influencing the results is that topband has not been a focus 
for DXpeds for all that long. Time was that 2000 Q's was considered a 
major achievement and that was not so long ago. Pretty much the same for 
RTTY. Operating time used to be assigned grudgingly. The numbers have 
gone up due to audience demand.
