Here's an Idea.. I run the Monthly Polls for the NAQCC QRP Group, and we 
use  http://pollcode.com/
It is Free to use.. I can set one up quickly using the 'older data' that 
is listed..(ie: DN58 has been activated numerous times over the past few 
years..so it should no longer be 'Near the Top' of the list ?)  Many 
other Rare Ones have been activated by NJ0W, N5QE, now KB5HMU, etc.   I 
can even 'compile it so to speak'.. ie: First Poll would be CN Grids and 
so on..let it run for a week or so..and everyone can see the 'Total 
Results Anytime' !
Just a thought.. though I am sure FN guys will need CN98 more than DN 
guys will..so may not be 'really accurate' !  73

You could even extend it by having the user who enters the grid, enter their own grid so you could have "most wanted grids" based on other grids, or based on regions.

I just don't have  the finances it requires for some of them.  I was thinking about  making a run out to DL79 as Marshall found a real good spot to operate  from out there but don't know how needed anymore.  I also have found a  real good spot, Seminole Canyon Park in DL99 but again and in Van Horn  TX DM71 but again if its not all that rare ... sorta pointless.	--   Mike Urich KA5CVH  http://ka5cvh.com	"Washington - Read the constitution ... not my emails
