Jeff, thanks for all your efforts in compiling all this data. I am sure it will give me some more ideas on where to drag the xyl for vacation again, like this year. 

I agree in Rick's (WA4NVM) saying what it is to be out "wagging" that yagi in the dark. Anytime you hear a Portable or Handheld station, please make an effort to contact, as it could be a rare grid or a new op.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Top 250 Grid Survey - Results 

Hi all, 

I want to thank all of those who took the time out to contribute their grid 
data so I could try to compose a list of the most wanted, or needed, grid 
squares via the satellites for the continental United States with some 
Canadian and Mexico grids thrown in as well. I initially started out with 
the total 
250, 10 grid fields times the 25 most needed grid squares per field, hence 
250. I should've taken into account that grid fields like CM and FM aren't 
fully 
land mass enough to give a full 25 grids so it looks like the 250 will 
become the top 230. In any case, the data was very useful and informative. 
I believe many will see what grids are outstanding in need of activation. 

Since I did not receive any more entries since Thursday, 11/12, I already 
had a running tally of the totals as I was receiving them and was waiting 
for more to come in by the deadline of 11/14. None did, so I was able to 
cap this project about a day ahead of schedule. I hope everybody enjoys the 
data and can possibly use it in the future if they plan on traveling, 
visting relatives, or just going on a GridDXpedition. 

I broke down the grid fields by the most votes then proceeded to seperately 
post the grid squares of each field by their votes, highest to lowest. The 
layout is rather long but since this is just basic data I wanted to keep it 
simple and left justified to keep it clear. Printing it out may make it 
easier to read or comprehend since you won't be looking at just a portion of 
the data on the screen but a print out on paper layed out on the table. 

If you have a questions, comments or just plain curious, please feel free to 
drop me an e-mail.
