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

[Jeff Yanko]

Hi John and the group,

Your welcome and I'm glad you like the compilation.  Just don't tell the XYL why your taking her on a second vacation. :)

I will have to second your motion about working portable stations, HT stations or new operator to show their effort wasn't in vein.  I would also like to suggest for those who do, or plan to, operate from rare grids to make a post to the -bb here so those who might need it can be aware of the fact your going to be there operating.  Sometimes schedules don't always mesh but at least there was the effort.


73,

Jeff  WB3JFS

  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.

  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.
